There Is A Secret Poem by David Barry Temple

there is a secret
the dumb and lost must share
being born gives you no right
to being here

you must fight for that right
until the very end
no one can help you
not even a friend

if you cannot live
there must be a reason why
try the advice of one who loves you
before you die

you can continue on your way
or take a detour
that is what forks in the road
are divided for

sometimes you are flying high
then are gone in a flash
do not wallow in the sluggish mud
to never make a splash

whether you find happiness or not
my secret is true
around every bend
it is only and always up to you

when the night is lonely
and there is nothing to be said
you must arise
find a different bed

when work is done
with nothing you can show
you must fight for your rights
or find a new place to go

if by fate a fatal illness
tries to take your time
there are still other options
to occupy your mind

if you have been slighted
by a wrong unrighted
take no revenge
but walk the road as i did

do not be denied
if justice makes you mighty
when you have listened
to your heart and friend tidy

change your longitude and latitude
do not prolong a failure
do not carry a defeated attitude
get out of the sour sea, sailor

always give God your gratitude
and live for making love
that is how it happens
with the grace from the Lord up above
