It Ain't Nothin'

It ain't nothin' on the other side of the fence
Just the same ol' walked over,
Beat down,
Littered in grass.
It has brown patches on both sides,
Half watered and weeds sprouting about.
Someone needs to tend to this here grass.
I pluck a few misfit plants when I cruse by.
Still, it ain't enough to make the grass green.
Maybe a strong rain will fall,
Then nourish the grass back to health.
Perhaps a good storm
To blow all the trash away.
Until then,
I'll tell you what's on the other side of the fence
In case you're wondering.
It ain't nothin'.
Just the same ol' walked over,
Beat down,
Littered in grass.

The Levees Broke

The levees broke and my soul went pouring out.
My heart rolled away with the flow of the water
As my people were washed away in despair.
I cried for my beloved, deceased and departed,
Tears flowed with the rapids over the mounds of dirt.
When the levees broke a piece of me was destroyed.
The place that I love was no longer a safe haven,

But a disaster area stricken by the works of nature. 

Sweet memories shuffled down through the streets

And sounds of the brass drowned when the levees broke.

With a dashing flee from the wretchedness about me, 

I prayed for a Saint to come rescue thee. 

The Water

As the water fell over my body I hoped it would wash away my day. I needed it to revive me like the rain returning nutrients to the soil. As it gently poured over my slain torso and down into the drain, I wanted the hurt feelings to go with it. All the conversations could have disappeared with the water vapors ascending into the air. I yearned for the water to cleanse my soul.

*Love Life*

Life is all we have. It is the contentment we find in the morning sun and the vibrancy of a beautiful spring day. To experience the conviction of happiness sharpens a dull soul. Life is an elegant gem that adorns our neck. Live it with style and grace, love it without restraints, fulfill it with purpose. Life is all we have.  

Get happy from the inside out

Our outlook on life determines the true peace within. I may become distraught with the happenings of the world, but I know I have a destiny to fulfill. It is my duty to find the goodness of the day and become one with it. My reaction is the judge of my fate. Thus, I must retain control at all times. I can allow or disallow anything I choose, so, I will make life happy on purpose.

Do something on purpose. Make your life happy for yourself and that is what it will be.

A life of service (MLK Day 2011)

For a very long time I've known that our purpose was to live here in harmony. Blended together as one whole, ensuring the peace of all. It is an awesome feeling to gaze out of the window and see the masses bonded for people empowerment on this grand day. Perhaps the day will extend into tomorrow and create a lifestyle of giving, loving, and prosperity for everyone.
