Survival Poem by Marvin Brato Sr

Presence of mind is the key
rather than pressing it so hard
especially when life is miserable
stop awhile, relax and think again
endure the fall to regain a strength
not all means will justify the actions
circumstances can become a hint
endulge only with things worthwhile.

often in this life
failure overrules.

man may be vulnerable to greed
in this world gold is not the ultimate
never succumb to earthly temptations
dealt well in life's opportunities to survive.
