Grass

The grass may seem greener on the other side.

But sometimes that grass is Astro Turf.
Fake and ugly if you look close enough.

Other times it's been spray painted green;
While its actually dead and full of grubs.

Though you may have some rough patches,
You actually have it pretty good.

You have the ability to fertilize those places
With knowledge, hope, and really good books.

Eventually if you work hard enough,
You will have a perfect lawn

That will stay green for ever.
