Having money changes you.
The way you walk, talk, your point of view.
Struggling to stay you, is the biggest issue, once you get a few.
Dollars, Euro, Dinero, you know, revenue.
That wake up in the morning with nowhere to go, and nothing to do.
Rewards of past labor, for a future to come true.
Against the grain, you gotta do, what you gotta do!
Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall, there's no excuse.
If there's no lane, then make your own avenue.
So many out there that think the same, guarantee you.
Mind, body and soul, down to the last drop that flows in you.
If not, then you haven't really tried, that's all I can tell you.
Cause I tell myself, that there's no obstacles.
Have to get over yourself, like hurdles.
Rabbits and turtles, it's all the same race.

No limits!
Trying to Change my misgivings.
But what I'm giving keeps missing.
Off the mark, the target keeps moving.
Though I think it's just my aim.
Maybe it's too high, or too low.
Maybe I should identify the bar, and define the goal.
Under pressure, I know I'm a diamond, though I look like coal.
Never too young, never too old.
Everyday is a blank sheet, to a new story told.
Novel of a lifetime, be truthful and bold.
Winter is cold, and hot water scolds.
Just remember lies grow like mold.
Sickening the host, toxicity will take hold.
Seeping out the pores for all to behold.
Untrustworthy, is a heavy weight to hold.
You will bend, you will fold.
Stress free, is the easiest way to become old.
It's water under the bridge, but wat... |
Super
Sometimes the superhero used to be a villan.
Wearing a mask, so you can only believe In the actions.
No face, no origin of blame to discredit.
Sometimes all you need to have is faith.
And the trust to believe In it.
That's how you encourage change.
Which in turn inspires hope.
Together anything becomes possible.
So suit up, and rescue yourself.
Only then, can you save someone else. |
All The Time
God is good, God is great.
He puts breakfast, lunch, and dinner upon my plate.
He gives light to my eyes, so they may reflect upon the beauty of the world he did create.
He electrifies my heart, while filling my lungs with the air of his grace.
He strengthens my legs, so I may walk, and stand, after kneeling to pray.
He blesses my arms to hold family, protect, and create.
He bequeath endowment to my loins to procreate.
Through his mercy, I am allowed to father, to watch over and educate.
His infinite wisdom, gives my mind knowledge, in order to demonstrate.
How he can make a blind man see, and the evil about face.
His promises, filled with health and long days.
And when your exhausted, those lone footprints are him, carrying you the rest of the way.

Stars And Stripes
As I sit here and watch red, white, and blue.
Waving it's stars of a United nation against the sky blue.
So much anger, and judgment i could spew.
For my skin color is the recorded history, of some of your most evil.
Then there's the lives lost, in the name of you.
Based on a piece of paper, that defines our societal and governmental.
Our beliefs and values.
Ancestry is one thing, but I was born here, I am you.
So I will say this, as I have pledged allegiance to you.
Or rather, the ideas that are still a dream, and have yet to come true.
But the belief is what helps us get through.
That all men are created equal, and happiness can be pursued.
To promote the general welfare, so no one is hated or abused.
For when there is such, we can amend and outlaw, for we ar... |
As I Lay In The Dark
As I lay in the dark, accompanied by only my thoughts
and memories.
I can feel the grip of the night, clutching with its embrace
of ill intent.
Plunging me into the depths of its blackness.
Slowly drowning me in my fears.
Attempts of self calming being overrun.
An increase in body temperature, partnered by tachycardia.
Failure, rejection, compounding self doubt.
Anxieties deriving from outside opinions of charlatans.
Holding water in the cranium like edema.
Deep deliberate breathes, followed by slow exhalation.
Subconscious whispering rebellious philosophy.
Swiftly luneging into an upright position, telling myself
to listen.
Face all opposition, no matter the resistance.
There is no tomorrow, until you live th... |
Composite Of A Man
Awakened after years of dormancy.
Arrival of the time to be who I'm supposed to be.
A father, a husband, a leader, a King!
Sacrifice everything for the family, the queen.
With strength and bravery, I can do anything, therefore
the absence of fear.
Perpetuating that innate fire, to beat upon the chest
releasing a mighty roar.
Allowing renewed vitality, dignity, and spirituality.
So humility, can humble, spawning understanding,
and wholeness.
Opening the door to knowledge, leading to an area
of teaching and guidance.
Destroy and rebuild, modesty requires some defiance.
Applying the rules of nature, utilizing the laws of science.
Visualizing visions into existence, the creativity of these hands.
Brunting the weight of all things wit... |
