Willingness and sullenness


Proverbs 19:2 

2 It is dangerous to have zeal without knowledge,
and the one who acts hastily makes poor choices.

 

Willingness and sullenness traveling to nowhere

Hand in hand they moved on not wanting to get lost

Wishing it was vacation so they did not have to waste

The time that went unnoticed, as others paid the costs

 

They forgot where they started and lost track of direction

It was not real important for there was lots of company

Almost like a party celebrating forgetfulness

The nonproducing lot complaining in solemn harmony

 

They are great at burning bridges right in front of them

With a risen calculated imprint through lead in their pants

Complaints about the future and failures of working men

They go through life and death their existence to enhance
