 THE TRAVELING LIFELONG BUSH POET

Pushing The Boundaries


We as a human race are more and more it seems
Pushing the boundaries of life~
By trying to do so much beyond being human
For kicks coursing us often endless death and strife~
The ocean belongs to the sharks and fishes at sea
Originally the sky belongs to the birds~
The mountains were not created just to climb
Higher and higher speeds by car absurd~
So much we are effected by the hero syndrome
To push the limits of humanity to its best~
To have that most perfect yet still body
Rather than improving the soul to pass life's test~
Vanity has honestly played it's part on earth
Money has become God as we all know~
But still so many risk life and limb
To be greater,more wonderful,get richer as they go~
We were not created to be a super human race
While we mostly fail on earth still today~
Do do the simplest task asked by God
To love each other,be a good person all along the way~
We as a human race often fail in basic responsibilities
So often as life it goes by ~
Spending endless hours of life pushing the human limits
To be a super race , while our very earth and many on it cry~
The playing of sport and being fit mind,body and soul
Is a wonderful thing to do~
But pushing the limits more and more of humanity
Is not what we were created for it's true~
So many lives lost simply playing games
When on earth there is so much positive work needed done~
And once fitness came from working very hard
And that is how becoming fit begun~
And not from playing games and being a super hero
These types of games were pretended by children all in play~
But so many have taken the children's games
On into adulthood and still play them today~
Being a real man and woman came from substance within
And stamina to pass life's diversities test~
Along with endurance and hard work and love
They strove back then to do their best~
I see people die so often for no real reason at all
But to receive a little medal best to be~
When they could have received way more appreciation
Doing as much for society ~
