FAILED TESTS
When we throw our integrity down the drain,
we keep losing all the headstart we gain,
whenever we strive to move ahead,
there's a toll to pay that brings us dread.
Every step we take has a price at stake,
we opened a door holding hands with a snake,
now it's too late to run for the gate,
every time we move we're stuck in check mate.
The best we can do is move ahead,
cut our losses instead of playing dead,
acknowledge that we backed the wrong horse,
put a spanner in the works and change our course.
We admit and own the mistakes we made,
taking control of the way we have strayed,
this takes the accusations out of others hands,
lifting us out of the sinking sands.
