Determined

A Poem by Riley Bray
"

Time to get off your sorry butts and get motivated.

"
We wish,
That's humanity but
We tend still to call ourselves
Pieces of effing s**t.
(Why wish when wishes mean practically nothing?)

And I, I, I
Wanna know
What's going on
And I, I, I,
Wanna know
Where are we 
Going wrong?
And I, I, I
Wanna fix this.

We dream
Inevitably but
Still we tend to be
Incredibly mean.
(Why do we need this?)

And I, I, I
Wanna know
What's going on
And I, I, I,
Wanna know
Where are we 
Going wrong?
And I, I, I
Wanna fix this.

We rise
Together but
We fall and tend to
Meet social demise
(Even in poetry)

And I, I, I
Wanna know
What's going on
And I, I, I,
Wanna know
Where are we 
Going wrong?
And I, I, I
Wanna fix this.

We hope
That things will get better but
What do we do
Other than sit around and wait for it to?
(You won't get anywhere sitting on that a*s of yours)

And I, I, I
Wanna know
What's going on
And I, I, I,
Wanna know
Where are we 
Going wrong?
And I, I, I
Wanna fix this.

Can do. ;)
I'm assuming this is one of your songs. I like it. It would be nice to hear it sung tho. I tend to read things differently than most.
