expect more and get less in life because we B
 fail to strive to struggle to survive for what we B
 expect or deserve that's what leads us to the B
 trail of tears in this retrogressive world of C
 half-truth and broken spoken collective agreements D
 on this collision course called life Always being E
set up to fail:  So Never complain and never explain F
