THE HARD ROAD
To awaken each day and seek for a honest way,
to put bread on the table and make things okay,
not knowing in which direction to walk,
who to confront and what to talk.
It's not at all an easy task,
to walk in pretense with a facial mask,
knocking on doors with no way through,
finding the courage new ways to pursue.
We become so tired that we simply sit,
which doesn't help to lift us from the pit,
sometimes our efforts are not worth the returns,
but it keeps us from the fire that burns.
The idle man is the devils toy,
taking him upon ways that destroy,
leading others onto the paths of sin,
where none of them could ever win.
