Flashes of thoughts sparking in my brain;
Breeding impulses I can't restrain;
About this adventurous life of mine;
Wondering if I will ever hit the gold mine.

Been around for over a score years;
All Characterized by cheers and fears;
I look to my future and wonder;
Could my fears last any less longer?

Uncertainties trail me like ants do sugar;
Do I work legitly or frolic with a Cougar?
Or run a con that will leave the world dazed?
Cos that's the way brothers make it these days.

But woeful tales of such brothers' ends;
As well as desire to please family and friends;
Leave me on my legal grind day and night;
For at the tunnel's end, there's always light.

Though peer pressure may try to influence;
I still resist the lures of accidental affluence;
Because even though life for me may be tough;
My forelimbs always have to be on the legit plough.
