in/out by George A. Crawford III

what goes in comes out
what we hear is what we are about
what we eat creates what we are
what we lift, run, walk, sleep makes our heart go far

what we read, is in our minds
what we touch is what we feel
what we cleanse helps heal and mends

a push might receive a shove
a smile might get back love
a gift to another, might bring back more than a dove

every action causes a reaction
maybe an attraction
sometimes subtraction

reduce the good to a mere fraction
everyone wants satisfaction

good brings good
or so we hope
bad brings bad
so your a dope

when precedents are established
they are hard to erase
bad memories may last forever
so be careful, your reputation is hard to replace

what goes in goes in
creates the fuel for the life
we then use it, or lose it
but it is in for some time
is most of what comes out
there is no doubt
that is what every thing is about
