The Proud Adaption

Temper your mind and soul compatriot
The criticism does not matter
Balance yourself on this sinking ship friend
Climb up and away from the clutter.

Smile wide on the outside and be strong
Grow your muscle, wealth and stability
Cultivate your crop and provide dear one
Gain respect and up your social mobility.

Defend your friends and neighbours comrade
Make sure that you are all healthy
Look out for even the meekest one
This is what will make you wealthy.

One day the hierarchy will change
And you may no longer be the wise one
For this reason you have to hope
That the one who will, reads this song.

Life is like a lego collection brother
It's existance continues in flux
Castles become beaches and spacecraft
Little yellow men turn to dust.

Humanity is like lego uncle
Except to us it is life
You need to realise your place in it cousin
Hold your head high in the strife.

Unlikely advice

Calmer under criticism,
Calm in your mind.

Balancing personality,
Approach the divine.

Smile on the inside,
And on the out.

Stand taller and prouder,
Surer and stout.

Score more goals,
win more prizes.

Get noted and selected,
for your endeavour and wiseness.

Improve your bank balance,
Strive for the top.

Beat your opponents,
Directly or just knock them off.

Then when you have,
What you worked to achieve.

Please let me know,
Of secrets up your sleeve.

I've been looking,
And I just can't find.

The tonic that will forever,
Sooth my mind.
