MISSING STEPS
Life is a series of steps we take,
each step is like a brick we bake,
it serves its purpose in the final structure,
a building block in our moral culture.
Shortcuts in life are hidden snares,
we miss the details we need for our shares,
when things go wrong we don't know where to look,
as we skipped the important steps from the book.
To run to a loophole in the law is disaster,
another snare like a noose draws tighter,
the life we built starts to crumble and fall,
as all our cheating comes up to call.
We don't know where we made the wrong move,
we skipped the steps that bridged the grove,
all our shortcuts start leaving holes,
our foundations shatter under crumbling goals.
