58 - Sign Of The Times
Litigation overload,
a sign of current times,
what we had and loved in life
gone for all mankind.
Now controlled by documents,
an motivational mess,
the life we lived was awesome,
to look back we were blessed.
Everyone’s accountable,
all were, mostly are,
whether living in the bush
or coming from afar.
It’s time to take a real good look
at who we want to be,
what we had was fine by us
and worked for all to see.
We all just made it happen,
we had to see things through,
nothing ever easy,
was up to me and you.
To watch and learn important,
to have a go was gold,
most of us responsible
and did what we were told.
Keen to take the world on
rode hard every ride,
second place not good enough,
to win was met with pride.
Get better don’t get bitter,
eye fixed on the ball,
play the game to the end
a common call for all.
Life is quickly changing
times are changing to
what we had and did in life
all now fallen through.
Safety and insurance,
is killing all the fun
competition out the door
all racing has been run.
Litigation overload,
a sign of current times,
what we had and loved in life
gone for all mankind.
Now controlled by documents,
an motivational mess,
the life we lived was awesome,
to look back we were blessed.
