An amazing world is out there
To be discovered, educating
And profound to the seeker
Life's key turns the tumblers
For those that venture it awaits
Sometimes good, others bad
Nothing ventured, nor gained
The course's end is unknown
But there are those who fall short
Never to glance beyond their nose
Selfish care, intent, and deed
Leave a bitter path in ignorance
Those who grow as they go
Autruistic wardens of wisdom
Without concern for game's glow
Its brevity is ultimately fleeting
Those who exist for self gain stare
Their starved souls coveting all
Traces of their transgressions still
They are tripfalls to honest men
Look beyond your nose as you go
That the world will not be lost
So in that brief span something stays
That validates in abstract belief
