    On Learning Nothing - The Hard Way

    written by: Bryon D. Howell
    category: Ode / Life


    In life, I've learned so much about my way -
    a dangerous, destructive way to live.
    No ears to hear what people had to say -
    no hands to lend. What's more? Nothing to give.
    An inventory showed what I possessed ...
    such pride and ego everywhere I turned!
    The worst of defects all became my best -
    no warnings heeded, lessons never learned.
    A lustful soul, my self-will running wild.
    Concerning wisdom, thought I had so much!
    But falling short is all but cool and mild.
    Today I see. I was - just out of touch!
    In life, I've learned a lot and life is tough -
    but yet I can't profess to know enough.
