James Dunn

Born into a whirlwind, answering for our ignorance;
...expecting success through brute perseverance.
Priorities preached, as we act on age old assumption;
...life filled with waste, and our world with destruction.

...

Set still for a moment, think what we want;
...for ourselves, family, and those that are not.
Our life filled with wasted time, effort, and intent;
...our resources squandered, taken, and spent.

...

Had we another life, would we waste it the same;
...would we change our decisions, or find others to blame?
Or would we list things, wished not to perish;
...those things we hold dear and do heartfelt cherish?

...

Would we plan our decisions, step by step;
...each step a goal, each step a prep.
Then implement decisions and carefully watch;
...each step a result, a goal waiting to launch.

...

For unscrupulous people will empty your life;
...tricking and taking, leaving you strife.
Living empty of reason, all is taken from thee;
...your resources and efforts, your legacy shall never see.

...

Each decision you make has far reaching implication;
...lost are your resources if lived empty of consideration.

...
