LIFE’S A TRIP
by Benjie “TheMan” Anderson
It’s said “the journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step.”
Life’s a trip… so be in shape, and have a whole lotta pep!
You go through life workin’ hard playin’ by the rules,
Life’s a trip… when those who don’t, seem to get most of life’s material jewels?!
You pay all your bills every month to the nickel, penny and dime,
Life’s a trip… when you still can’t get to borrow at, and below prime.
Life’s a trip, when for years you were told “you are the best!”
A loved one lied and plotted against you, causing you extreme undue duress.
When you lay down to go to sleep and want to dream pleasant thoughts.
Life’s a trip… when all you envision are extreme sinister haunts.
Life’s a trip, when you don’t get a fair shake in this big old world.
You pull your hair out, have your blood pressure run up, and get so sick you wanna hurl!
Life’s a trip, when all those tickets for lotto you just bought,
Turned out none at all were winners and you spent way more than you ought.
“You’re an asset to the company, great to have you” says a boss.
Life’s a trip, when after only one problem, you’re on unemployment, and at a huge loss.
The doctor delivers a baby; “It’s a healthy child,” he’d declare.
Life’s a trip, when reality sets in… HELLO! You’re a parent, Oh yeah!!
All is right with the world, your life’s together, and everything is sublime.
Life’s a trip, if you’ve got it goin’ on, and good things just happen ALL the time!
The moral of this poem; for sure, there is one to be.
Life’s a trip, a journey, and I pray yours to be…
Positive, healthy, loving, good, enriching, and extraordinary!
