The Struggle


In the lives we live it is a tradition to struggle
We can be quite frantic in getting our agendas juggled
Like a gambler in Vegas trying to win with his last bid
Or a single mother working to provide for her two kids
When the game is on the line and you get the last touch
Do you shy away from the final shot or come up clutch?
When you struggle to do homework and stay up until two
It's always worth it to turn it in the next day when it's due
When an island is attacked and torn by a monsoon
The people will band together to sing a hopeful tune
To overcome a struggle is like going on a mountain climb
Do you get to the top or procrastinate and waste time?
Two councilmen get competitive and are attempting a checkmate
While the King and Queen declare war to improve their real estate
So when we have a struggle we do whatever it takes
To overcome the problem especially since your pride is at stake
-Daevone Molyneux
