In the premise, life is but a series of attitudes. I began with a full-on war song, followed by a more cautious, albeit shocking attitude adjustment.

We should bow to no man, nor should a person succumb to stupidity. Exercising restraint, aka keeping your mouth closed is sometimes handy. However, never allow yourself to drift aimlessly either. Why? Just because.

LIFE WITHOUT A CAUSE

What would life be if we didn’t have a quest?

Something to go for, life’s never-ending test.

To go through the years, day by day without a dream at all,

Empty, nothing to shoot for; a walk down life’s lonely hall.

To live life without a cause for me would be the end,

Always going forward for dreams all tomorrows send.

Sad indeed would be the man; one who has no cause at all,

To never see a wish come true; his world would be quite small.

Marching to your drummer, whatever it may be,

Is lifetime’s finest hour; it’s what you want to see.

A cause comes from the heart; also in your mind,

Place yours for tomorrow; see what you can find.

Losers don’t begin, winners do; the key is trying. Caution is earned or learned; one hurts, both satisfying. A cause: embryo of a fulfilled dream. Off-times a lonely attitude secretly envied by those lacking vision.
