Pennies and Dollars
Since when is good enough,
Good enough?
Minimum, easiest,
Thoughtless and rushed.
We're giving pennies
Wanting dollars in return
We expect the gold medal
Without effort, it's not earned
Giving enough
to get by, and no more
Yet expecting the best
From the rest of the world
Too focused on taking
To ever give
But a one-sided life
Is no way to live
Good enough is not good enough
Half effort won't yield a full life.
If you feel like you deserve all the best
You've got to give what you'd like.
