Too much nice without pain or strife
Would name its price in cowardice.
Too much sin and the effort to win
Leaves the good that’s within too confused and a spin.
Not enough soul midst my pleasures and roles
Makes all loftier goals full of folly and holes.
Clinging to a rhythm I would choose on my own
Builds a man made of bone and a reason that’s flown from the unknown.
