Read between the lines

If you can read between the lines
You can see all of the signs
You won’t be lost for long
You’ll find where you belong
Clasping out your hands
To reach for heigh ambition
The nature of a man
Human condition
When you read between the lines
Make sure they are not fuzzy
Cos you will go down the hill
And it won’t be funny
So, when working out the words
Another’s false work
Make sure you are right
Cos falsity lurks
Food for thought
When you read what they brought
You won’t go hungry
You reaped what you sought

I know where you are going with that statement. There is a certain amount of truth to that, but one has to realize that being too skeptical, can be a detriment. If you start second-guessing every move you make, you are already doing something wrong.
But yeah, I get it, everyone wants to be safe. I got the feeling with this one, that you are acknowledging we all are just a little bit afraid of tomorrow. If that was the kind of reaction you wanted. You got it. ~ Geezer.
