Eye For An Eye

3/3/17 Do you believe in an eye for an eye? Better use your mind With determination and effort applied It's in your best interest to try Because time flies Opportunities drawing nigh, just may pass you by Involving wins, losses and ties In the end what you happened to find Could've led to suprise And speculation towards opposing sides Respect to animals and human kind We all get caught in a bind And occasionally need to unwind While aiming to thrive As we survive Along for the ride Worldwide Pushing through the daily grind We all take dives So continue to rise And climb Ever so high Above terrain waterlogged or bone dry Day and night Appreciate life Before after and during quite the plight Some just want to pry And spy Living one big lie Does no good to deny Regardless of if you think you're being sly Remains covered up with lye Instead of lime From here to way beyond Shanghai Animals, sattelites and spacecrafts fly among the sky By: Dalton Ogletree
