Times have changed...

As some move along traveling through life
They take for granted,
Their days and there nights
Some look towards the sky
And love someone they never did see
Then hate everyday people
Like you, her, and me
The girls of today
Are growing 2 fast
Must be the water
As I look towards the past
Don't remember so many young women
With grown boobs, and ass
You have these news people
Who gossip like kids
I'ts like asking for money
from the homeless
They have nothing to give
Built like no other
Last of a dying breed
Also born a king
Changing colors like Fall leaves
To rise back up in Spring

Be or Born

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our Attitudes.”

Charles R. Swindoll quotes (American Writer and Clergyman, b.1934)

Happiness is all in the mind

Voices that are crying out loud
Aggression held in
Wisdom far from the truth
Where do i begin
This is a allegorical revelation
My patience iz my virtue
Only found through constant meditation
So i guess I'm patiently waiting
What should i do?
Can't rely on the next man
get up on my own two
Focused on my mission
So each step is crucial
Like the doc sewing you back
With exact precision
I'm phishing
Moving through intense weather
Situations where i lost
Only made me better
In muddy waters
You cee the tide
Didn't break my stride
just made me stronger
Now each day that passes
I'm only getting older
Now being old is just a state of mind
I'm as young as i feel
So you can say
I'm still on my grind
If life is a gamble
She iz my dealer
Playing hard
So I'm going to sit in this game
Never ever folding my cards!

I GUESS WHEN I FIND MYSELF
LOOKING FOR THE ANSWER
FRUSTRATED AND CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY
IT PRESENTS IT'S SELF RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY FACE
LIKE THE LEAVES THAT CHANGE COLORS
FINALLY FALLING DOWN
CYCLES THAT CONTINUE FROM THE PAST
REMEMBER THE TIMES WHEN I WAS IN YOUR TOWN
WITH A TIGHT GRIP ON THE MOMENT SO IT WOULD LAST
NOT KNOWING IF THE LAW OF ATTRACTION
WILL LET US B
LEFT WITH THE PICTURE YOU PAINTED
STILL THERE'S NOTHING I CAN CEE
YOUR INK FADED INTO THE PAGES
CHANGING
LIKE THE CLOUDS IN THE SKY
MANY DIFFERENT SHAPES
VIEWED DIFFERENT FROM MANY EYES
IT IS WHAT IT IZ
BUT IT'S NO LIE
THE PEOPLE YOU MEET CAN VANISH IN A BLINK OF EYE
SO AS I'M LEFT STANDING
PONDERING MY CHESS MOVES
YES I BEEN
CHECKMATED......
ASKING MYSELF WHY WE DIDN'T STICK LIKE GLUE ?
GOING TO EVERY DOCTOR
TRYING TO FIX MY PAIN
THERES WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO
SO AS THE PAGES TURN
THE UNDERSTANDING BECOMES CLEARER
MAYBE IT WAS GOOD I DIDN'T CEE HER!

WHAT IS LIFE

WHAT IS LIFE ?
IN THIS WORLD OF FAST CARS
SHARP DRESSERS
FROWNED IF YOU DON'T DRIVE A FLY WHIP
HAVE TO APPROACH THEM GIRLS RIGHT
IF NOT WATCH THEM DO THE DIP
LIKE ROACHES IN THE LIGHT
OR A FRIEND WHO YOU THOUGHT WAS TRUE
VANISH IN A FIGHT
IT'S IN THIS LIFE
WE JUDGE WHAT WE DON'T KNOW
WE TALK SO MUCH
IN THE END
WE HAVE NOTHING TO SHOW
TALKING RECKLESS OUT THE MOUTH
NOT EVEN BENT
EXPENSIVE VEHICLE IN THE DRIVEWAY
THEY CAN'T EVEN PAY THE RENT
MORNING REFLECTIONS
STARING IN THE MIRROR
LYING TO THEMSELVES
TOXIC WASTE THOUGHTS
THAT NEED A CLEANER
WHAT IS LIFE ?
I KNOW IT'S NOT THIS CLEARLY
BELIEVE NOTHING THAT I HEAR
OR WHAT I SEE ON THE TV
FOLLOWING MY HEART
TAKING NOTHING ON FACE VALUE
THE SIGNS THAT APPEAR
THAT WE DON'T PAY ATTENTION
2 THAT GUT FEELING IN OUR STOMACHS
DID I FORGET TO MENTION
THE WISE
WHO SPITE JEWELS
WITH KNOW CHARGE OR FEE
SOAK IT UP THE LIKE A SPONGE
ADD IT TO THE NEW ME
WHAT IS LIFE ?
I'M TRYING TO FIGURE IT OUT
IT'S IN THIS LIFE
I STAY TRUE TO MYSELF
