A GUITAR'S ADVICE ON BEING BETTER

I long for my old guitar I'm no rock or pop star But a broken soul Seeking to be whole I long to play my old guitar Alone on the road with mud for tar In the shack building I'll stay awhile Where life is no more than a mile I long for my old guitar Nothing wrong with the new one named peter But I'm one with my old guitar My excesses cannot be shun by peter I long to play my old guitar It's old tune still without mar Tells me if I've come this far Just a mile, I'll touch the star I long for my old guitar My old friend and adviser Whatever it says, I'll say yes sir And it tells me to find glory in my scar Though the storms around me roar Though the waves against me soar Though life be cold as Mars Though I be falling from the effiel tower Though u be caged with a wild boar Though strength fails,and I have no power Though I have A newer better peter Though life breaks me with terrible shatter No matter what, it's no matter, Even if condemned as a matyr I'll still long for my old guitar Whose tune unlike that of Peter Says truth that's bitter Life's a mile, then hereafter Checkpoints are chaos and disaster No more than a millimeter These checkpoints may your character alter Or even make you better How you handle them,says what comes after If you must win and become master Defy these gods here, and hereafter FEAR,HATE,MISTRUST,EGO,PRIDE,ANGER THOUGHTS THAT MAKE OUR MIND CLUTTER THOUGHTS OF ESCALATING DISASTER THINGS THAT MAY HAOOEN, BUT SURELY NEVER If we think positively time and time after Think right now, you'll do right later Think wrong now, and you're a time rigged disaster Which happens sooner or later There are things you can't alter So beware what you sacrifice on what altar Find what your will always muster Your life depends on it like water Never forget God, never ever, A brother, foe, or sister Who helped you in disaster Disaster may be but a nanometer Many miles it has shattered Many more it will shatter Still it can make you better If only you listen to my old guitar It's tunes sweet, truth bitter You will emerge better, Now and in the hereafter.
