    Locomotion

     

    Walking our feet,
    carry us everyday
    How thankful are we,
    to remember, and, say
    how blessed we are,
    each day
    With two functioning,
    legs, and feet to 
    to move each way,
    forward, and back,
    dancing without,
    a thought for that
    Look after your,
    legs, and feet,
    that is a sure fact,
    carried on board
    bolstered, propped up
    Remember that

    All you need is a library 📚

    All you need is a library;

    A roadmap to the real or the imaginary.

    A portal to different nations;

    All books are destinations.

     

    The Librarian is a tour guide,

    Infomation, she will provide.

    The index she will show you,

    to help you find Timbuktu.

     

    The aisles form crisscrossing roads,

    Where books lead to crossroads,

    Or scenic view points to discover:

    such lovely places to linger.

     

    A mysterious map to hidden treasures;

    A start to many adventures.

    New escape routes will unravel,

    To the past, present and future, you will travel. 
     

    Down the canyons rattles the trolley-tram,

    Beware of the book traffic jam.

    From your reverie, you shall be woken,

    But your bond will never be broken.

     

    All you need is a librar...

    It's not fun anymore

    What happened exactly?.                                                            This planet use to be like heaven,                                               In the Good old days.

    In the times of barter trade                                                        They use to live in love and light,                                                hate and taking lives were scarce pandemics.

    One will be convinced Apartheid    &nbs...

    Being Here

    No longer beware
    Be aware
    Be here now
    Be clear
    How?
    Attend
    Tend
    Cultivate
    Meditate
    Grow
    Flow
    Don’t know
    Don’t no
    Just go
    With reality
    Perfect clarity
    Sweet sincerity
    There is nothing to fear but…
    There is nothing to fear
    There is nothing to fear
    So be here, now

    MAKE HEY AT SUNRISE

     MAKE HAY AT SUNRISE 

     

    Nobody has 

    the 

    chance of

    escaping 

    their 

    questions. 

    And 

    challenges.

     We've 

    got to 

    learn to 

    learn ahead 

    of trials, 

    in

    order to 

    make hay 

    at 

    sunrise.

    Remember, 

    according 

    as  

    mine word. 

    "Failure 

    comes by 

    unleashing 

    time, while 

    Humongous 

    success 

    is 

    timing." 

    Cherish time If 

    you really 

    wanted 

    to succeed.

    Uprising

    It’s time for an uprising

    An awakening of hearts

    A return to the beginning

    Where consciousness starts

    We must become the observer

    We were designed to be

    See that actions are an extension

    Of thoughts we conceive

    Some conscious ideals we can own

    Others deeply hidden, origins unknown

    In order to heal we must understand

    Differences are blessings

    Opportunities to grow, expand ©

    Condemned

    A youth doing his best to survive

    Kill or be killed to stay alive

    Now a man condemned

    For an unfortunate crime

    Simply being present

    At the wrong time

    Locked behind bars

    They intend to take his life

    To be murdered by justice

    How is that right?

    Instead decades pass

    He’s not the same man

    He’s changed his life

    As much as he can

    He deserves to be freed

    Given a chance

    To change his legacy

    Amend for the past ©

    Deception

    Patterns of deception filter through our lives

    Creating illusions and stories

    That define and defy

    Truth is a matter of opinion

    Based on personal views

    Nothing has meaning

    Unless acknowledged by you

    Opinions can’t be unbiased

    They’re colored by what we believe

    Doubt and fear are dark magick

    That work to deceive

    Dedication to your intentions

    And the life you desire

    Take work and commitment

    To own your power

    Enlightenment doesn’t necessarily come

    When you’re at the top of your game

    And you think you’ve won

    It can come when you’re struggling

    And trying to be brave

    Doing your best to survive

    Simply stay out of a grave

    The message is perfectly clear

    Keep working, keep fighting, keeping playing your game

    We The People

    We the people have lost our voice

    The leaders no longer represent our choice

    Party affiliation doesn’t matter

    They’ve all been compromised

    In order for their wallets to get fatter

    Disconnected from the average man

    Elite, privileged and entitled go hand in hand

    How can they understand the everyday plight

    When they live by their own standards

    Much different battles to fight

    Affordable healthcare for the people will never exist

    When politicians have their own special fix

    Unemployment is something they’ll never experience

    When their compensation is ongoing, continuous

    It’s time for people to rise up, unite

    Get ready for a lengthy fight

    To take back our country, to do what’s right ©
