Live and Learn

You Live and You Learn

You live and you learn; my grandfather once said

A day gone without learning; is a day you haven’t lived

then if you’re not livin you must be dead

dead is the spirit lifeless with nothing to give

So along the way I’ve learned much

Life’s a challenge a journey by touch

Feeling my way through innuendos’ emotions

Nothing more than notions consisting of potions

Seducing me back to sleep; letting life to pass

Hoping I’ll miss a calling, causing a life impasse

But I am life’s insomniac; can’t sleep on it

with distraction’s wit and it’s misleading tricks

to lull my soul into a spiritual black hole; bottomless pit

for I have learned nothing and might as well quit

That’s easy for some but not for me

I’ve heeded the warnings, made the choice; a voice I listen to

From my soul speaking to me loquaciously

Teaching me lessons learned; passing them from me to you

So this lil retort, banter, I hope forms like a cancer

In your mind, heart, or soul maybe…

To let life live you is never the answer

But for you to live it fully

Don’t sleep through life mediocre state; nothing to give

Remember you live and you learn

A day gone without learning is a day you haven’t lived
