Precedence

Precedence is a pre-tense, “What’s more important than ME?”-tense; “Sure, okay, they got it bad,” “but what about the problems I’ve had??” This sort of thinking, A thoughtless sinking; Keeps you drinking from another’s cup o’ struggles.
One weak stone means a wall’s collapse, A weak gear in a clock means its time will lapse; Society is one in the same, A weak ‘stone’ or ‘gear’ is disfunction’s blame; This point is the pre-tense, “It’s not about me!”-tense;
It is ‘WE’ who can fix the problems we have.
“Fix the problem before maintenance” is the concept of precedence, This is not to take from your own problem’s relevance; Simply to say “Hey, those things suck too,” “but let’s start with the big stuff, and come back to you.”
