There's nothing you can do

to make me anything like you.

You think life's about compromise.

You're unhappy - no surprise.

 

You'll get it eventually.

I know you'll get there eventually.

You see goodness conformism,

Peace and capitalism.

 

I know you'll give in in the end.

You'll have to bend and yeild again.

You pretend life's about loving;

Divining, dividing, deciding, defining.

 

There's nothing you can say;

Nothing that matters anyway.

You think life's about forgiving.

Baby, life's about living.

"You think life's about forgiving.
Baby, life's about living."
So true :)
This would make a lovely song.

I love the message in this poem :)
The rhyming makes it flow well and it makes us think about our lives today, how we live it and what we could possibly change about it if we aren't quite satisfied. Great message again, one that we all should live by.
