As do and but
Are both in
Doubt
And seem to cover
What doubt is about
I find I say
When I doubt
I may do but …
Then I back out
As I’m convinced
So self-agree
You can achieve anything if you put your mind to it
Does not apply to me
But I want to grow
To self believe
To find the will
To achieve
And I have found
Where I can start
And from self-doubt
I can depart
I’ll leave behind
Do and but
As in doubt
Is
To bud
It doesn’t matter how bad it gets
Worse things happen at sea
So I’m staying away from the ocean
So worse things don’t happen to me
Though I must admit
I am intrigued
About what these worse things are
Is the sea better at worse things
Has the land just a small repertoire
Then again it could the currents
Or the phases of the moon
Or the sea seeking its revenge
For the human rubbish strewn
Or perhaps it’s nothing of the sort
Just something people say
To ameliorate the worse things
That on land
Happen every day
Mary had a little lamb
She kept it as a pet
So on the day the lamb was ill
She took it to the vet
Who told the distraught Mary
About an ill lamb cure
That although somewhat expensive
Would recovery ensure
But Mary said she lacked the cash
To ensure recovery
So to help the unwell little lamb
And allay its misery
She did the only thing she could
To pained pet pacify
And helped her sick little pet
Into a shepherd’s pie
The bullet and the bomb stopped arguing
About their respective worth
Their battles won
Their battles lost
Their impact on the earth
About which had laid the most to rest
Caused greatest misery
And which had caused the greatest harm
In defeat and victory
When both agreed they both agree
They neither win or lose
As both the bomb and bullet
Never friend or foe side chose
So in human affairs of stopping hearts
They’re firmly on the fence
As both are used to reinforce
Attack and defence
Then both agreed they both agree
Their use makes little sense
Today is the day when
For everyone on earth
The world becomes a better place
People will celebrate
Say what a great day this is but
Because it is a better place for everyone
Some of that everyone will ensure their better
Is a better better as,
Like they will say,
Our better has always been better
For those new to better
It will be hard to argue
As those who’s better is better
Have better arguments
Always have
Always will
