Civil, Not Civilised
I'm a civil man
I'm not civilized
Behind that word
The Wicked and Cowardly hide
I'll not ask another man
To do my dirty work
To strike blows
and be struck
Bear my pain and my hurt
If you touch me
I touch back
and I will not stop
Not seeking a saviour
Not calling no cops
I'll saddle my own horse
Gon stomp my own snakes
I'll handle my problems
Whatever it takes
I understand living
And I know what a life's worth
I'm a civil man
but if I dish it
I can take it
For better
Or worse

Thank You, doing it yourself is reality for most of the world

Reality is harsh. Some people out there have no choice but to get their hands a little dirty sometimes. Good write.

Reality is harsh. Yet still we plug on. And for those Repo Men and Bounty Hunters and Corrections Officers and Police; please remember these words from Bob Marley's"Ambush in the Night"
"Why is it when you wanna get some food, your brother got be your enemy?"

A doss of reality in a world that likes to avoid it. I am appreciative of the way you bring in crutches people fall back on.
