Every Man

The truth. He will face it now.
Yes, finally he sees it!
The sting of disappointment,
The pain of rejection,
His unfulfilled hopes and dreams
and utter dissatisfaction with his life
have brought him to this late but
undeniable truth, that he can no longer just
do as he feels or wants, for that there is a price.
Henceforth he will do as he must!

About this poem:

The saying, "every man for himself" came to mind. A selfish man thinking only about what's best for him realizes that in life u have to give to get, sow to reap! Thanks for reading!

If only the owners of these businesses would read this and share their the wealth with their workers. I did read a bit of hope about our Culver's restaurant. The owner paid wages to all of his employees while the restaurant was being rebuilt. This took about six months. All he asked was they volunteer and help people out till they went back to work on June 16, the same day a tornado hit close to the restaurant, but missed it by just a few feet.

Hey brother Mc, great comment goes to show huh, good fortune seems to come when we show a little generosity to those around us, a lesson never too late to learn, good day! J
