In My World
"Gusto" means an overwhelming enthusiastic response to life;
"Gungho" means all this enthusiasm not well directed in this life.
So when you're all revved up - keep this differentiation in mind
Because "direction" will determine the effectiveness of every direction of every kind.
"Gusto" is most likely spontaneous, but "Gungho" is a "Gusto" gone wild.
These traits are part of children and young adults - "grown child."
The response to most of what life offers to this one --
They haven't heard of the "happy medium" yet so they're lost in "fun."
In my poems, I climb up on my perch and watch the world go by
And experience a flash back and an overview to see and try
To spotlight the unseen traps that are always there
And say, "Hey, you, walking there, take this light with you, Life is not always fair."
