Turn Around

Turn around and look.

Look upon the source,

Of your wealth.

It is you, of course.

Given each person, truly,

Is the ability to succeed,

If one but tames the unruly,

And strives to serve a need.

Focused on another for a solution,

This is not your call.

Ignorance is no absolution.

Dependence builds a wall.

Keeping what you earn,

Is good to a measure,

But what you must learn,

It’s not for your pleasure.

What can you give?

How can you serve?

Your purpose to live,

Is to share and conserve.

Look no further than home ground.

Expect not satisfaction.

A life turned around,

Starts with your first and every action.
