Wisdom takes time!
I was very clever when I was younger,
about 21, the world was my oyster,
now those years are gone,
I knew everything there was to know,
I knew all about the world and people
Yes, I did, that was so,
Something happened between then
and now, I lost my knowledge,
I dont know where, when or how,
Somewhere along the line, somewhere
in space and time, without asking
my permission, without hope of
remission, all knowledge deserted
me, for no apparant reason
well, that I could see.
I'm no lamb, but, here I am
accepting the fact, in the final act,
I'm not soo smart, life played its part,
and made me see, there's more to life
than there appears to be.

when you're young and the world is your oyster, it is difficult to recognize and accept opportunity for that would mean accepting responsibility, sacrifice, and work. we see people all the time that back then made the sacrifice and it has paid off for them greatly, and they are no more intelligent or stronger than most. but they sacrificed...
hard drive space was needed for the important stuff. Great write! Are you having a power surge at present?
