Inside VS Outside

Some people spend to much time in other places, when they should be spending more time in their own personal spaces. The world has been here with its problems for millions of years. If I'm lucky I might have about 15 more real good years. I think the world will survive, but me, who knows? I find more peace of mind controlling what I have control over, which is my own personal world. Some people out there will probably destroy themselves before any terrorist gets them. My poem emphasizes cleaning up your own back yard before you venture out to clean up the world.
It's just a scenario so don't get excited.

Home ground,
shakey and falling down,
loved ones on the frown,
cause you're acting like a clown.
Your sons on the corner,
daughter acting in dishonor.
The better half,
forgetting on your behalf.


Doctor got you in highrisk category,
your health tells its own story.
All stressed out,
job about to give out.


Your personal world in turmoil,
behind about to boil in oil,
but on you toil.


To involved in the outside,
when you're hurting on the inside.
Outside world is always in a shamble,
still on you gamble.
Unhappy in mind,
mean and unkind,
selfish in heart,
dealing the joker card,
Pigging out on chow,
consuming the whole cow.
Unhappy at home,
failing to handle your own kingdom.


And you have answers for the world?


The worlds in enough trouble,
without your trouble.
One step out of jail,
two steps from hell.
I wish you well.


You'll probably self destruct,
before the world loses its luck.


You'll be better off forgetting the outside,
and concentrating on the inside.


Clean your own,
then help pick the world bone.
Then this depends,
depends on peace of mind.
You'll never have it,
fooling with the worlds bull sh-t.


Priorities,
necessities,
reponsibilities.


G

No, I also don't have answers for the world.
But I like this one.

~Excellent words of wisdom, my friend.
Yes, I'm guilty..I try to write about
the problems of the world when I can't
even tend to my own backyard. You have
opened my eyes, dear friend.
