THE THING TO DO June 24/85 Karl Rigelhof

I could have been brilliant
If I was more resilient
To the temptations
Of the flesh

I could have been a hero
If I had only zeroed
In on the situation
And put it to the test

I could have been a millionaire
If I didn't give a care
For capitulation
Or even less

I could have been great
If I didn't hesitate
In contemplation
Of the best
Thing to do
The way to choose
