Squeeze as much juice as possible out of your short time on planet earth.
29/01/2021
Never lose sight
Of the endless struggle
To be a better man
To be more than you are
To be the best version of yourself
Strive for these things
And you’ll never lose
Work hard
Like a man possessed
Give thanks
Like a man that’s blessed
Acknowledge the privilege
That comes with the West
Be more and more
You at your best
Time is getting short
The years slip by
So get your shit together and roll
Get our game face on
Prepare your ship and launch
Into a sea of hope
Let the sails
Cure what ails ya
Determination
Perseverance
Resilience
Focus
Pride
All things good
All in good time
Best luck and best wishes
To the friends and family
Past and present
God bless us all

What else is there but to squeeze as much juice out of our short time on planet earth? I try to keep in mind all those hours spent watching TV and eating junk food could be spent doing something meaningful.
Never lose sight of that hunger to make the most of life, if you’re not careful the years will slip by unnoticed and before you know it mediocrity will have you beat.

I like very much the narrative, as it has the power and passion of conviction. The poem is or would be for me
without one line about rolling whatnot,
Thank you.

Don’t understand this line – “shit” can only mean one thing, am I wrong?

Interesting, honestly I just meant shit as in issues/business so “get yourself together and go”might have been a better way to say it.

Please do, it spoils (vulgarise) otherwise a very good poem.
Thank you.
