Later is better than never
And greater is better than ever
To date we’ve
Endeavored as one
Revelators with jobs to get done
Because never won’t
Ever come later
Though better takes time
To be greater
Ever better takes climbs up the wall
Rather later than never at all
To pay reverence
Homage or severance
Allows us to cling to what’s clever
Now is later better than never?
…Or is greater better than ever?
No time like the present to fascinate
Even though we always procrastinate
V l let’s go somehow
Examine the here & the now
Revert to alert, make it work pull the lever…
…Later is better than never
And greater is better than ever
