Focus On The Future
Focus on the future. Focus on the past.
Focus on the present.
Make the moment last.
Focus on the crooked. Focus on the straight.
Focus on the crafty.
Make the decent mate.
Focus on the captive. Focus on the free.
Focus on the bondage.
Make the self-rule key.
Focus on the vicious. Focus on the kind.
Focus on the villain.
Make the goodwill find.
Focus on the crackpot. Focus on the sane.
Focus on the crazy.
Make the lucid reign.
Focus on the foolish. Focus on the wise.
Focus on the stupid.
Make the prudent prize.
