It's been a long time.  So long.
Alot of opportunities missed.
I let them go right by without a second thought.
People tell me all of the time what I've missed.
I tell them I know.
It's not what they think.
Hell, it's not what I think either.

Would you choose a gross of mediocrity
or one flawless perfection?
I chose and now have neither.

I'm not here to complain or enlighten.
I'm hear to tell a story, sort of.
Life ain't all that complicated.
As a matter of fact, everything in this world
is fairly simple at a basic level.
Nothing is beyond man.  Nothing is beyond me.

One of the wisest men I have ever met once told me:

There's no need to follow the Ten Commandments
or any such thing.  There is only one law that
a true man should follow.  Its simplicity only
serves to help all men understand it and to 
follow it.  Do not take it for granted.

Be nice to people.

Words of truth don't have to come wrapped in complicated
passages and unidentifiable words.  Should I say what I want
through a veil of litterary tools and thereby forsake all
that I believe in?  No.  Do I condem?  No.  Do I rave?
