DRIFT ALONG

Man, is much like the river   I learned a while ago, but a man can't always be content   just rolling with the flow. In a complex river system   or complicated ways of men, to be approached with caution to    know just what he's stepping in. Man, must learn to read the river   and learn it's temperments, know the depths and shallows   to read all the many currents. When a man see through shallows   there's not much he must resist, but in deeper, faster water   the more complexity exists. Man, like a river flows one way   through a single lifelong trip, so care must be observed to prevent   a final journey-ending slip. If man don't sometimes fight the    system and beat the current's flow, he'll be swept away to drift along   where drowning fools may go.
