PERSPECTIVE AND IDENTITY

If I see a six, and you see a nine;
No perspective, needs a redefine.
Perspective, lies in the beholder.
Each is found, above the shoulder.

FREE TO LIBERATE

Every American has the liberty to simply choose.
Too many give that right up, for too many views.
Your choice might not be the same, as my choice.
Your choice isn’t better, making me lose my voice.

CENSORING MY VOICE

Don’t silence my voice, if it’s different than you.
My opinions are many, they are not just a few.
How can I stay quiet, when i was mistreated?
The silent, give it permission, to be repeated.

EFFORT ITSELF

Any effort starts with the decision to just try.
Effort requires energy, for us to then apply.
A decision of effort, starts inside of our brain.
The brain’s nueroplasticity, is what we’ll gain.

GET A GRIP ON YOUR GRUDGE

It is a hard feeling, when you hold a grudge.
You can’t let go of the past, and won’t budge.
All of the future is blurry because of the past.
They blur together, as time has then amassed.

THE COLORS WE ALL SEE

You will always see color, and me, will just the same.
Our eyesight doesn’t need adjustment, or reframe.
Color is something, we all see, with some emotion.
The colors we see, set our emotions, into motion.

OPEN YOUR MIND

Everyone has different beliefs, all felt in the heart.
First, you have beliefs, they make you fall apart.
Untrue beliefs, are confronted from the very start.
Understanding your current thinking, plays a part.

PARENTS AS ARTISTS

When your child is born, they are simply a blank slate.
They are but a canvas, for your artwork to demonstrate.
Artwork, is not a duplication, but an opportunity for art.
No formula or directions are given, right from the start.

WHO AM EYE?

Always be humble, kind, happy and proud.
Be the man in the arena; in front of a crowd.
Funny how we view “pride”, as a deadly sin.
I’m about to dismiss that belief, as we begin.

GROWING COMPARISON

Feeling envy, is chosen as a deadly cardinal sin.
Being jealous, puts you back where you begin.
Envy is wanting what someone does possess.
Jealous is the intimation; of a lack of progress.

MORE THAN BEFORE

Never less, or never more.
Never equal, out the door.
Compare to some, to all.
Making everyone then fall.

Good to Great Leadership

A leader inspires passion, and motives others to follow.
You must follow before leading, a hard pill to swallow.
A leader can see into the future and knows the pathway.
Creating actionable steps, to not make any go astray.

CONNECTING THE DOTS

Sides and corners, are for push and pull.
Making some right, making others a fool.
Dots connect, if they can just remain still.
Disconnecting, if moving, causing a thrill.

Dots are hard to connect, when in motion.
Water still connects, like waves in an ocean.
We have nothing to fear, but that of a shove.
When dots finally connect, they’ll spell love.

BE YOUR TRUE

All the same, the different, and the in between;
Are making the choice, to show up and be seen.
Sometimes questioning, what’s the best result.
A choice that is yours, without any more consult.

X-RAY VISIONS OF HOPE

Turn on your x-ray vision, and then lets look inside of anybody.
The differences outside, the same inside for us all, to embody.
Our skin color, is just the melanin, that our skin must possess.
The color of our shell and human interiors, make us all digress.

DESPISE THE DISPUTE

At some point in our life, we have all been in a dispute.
A dispute with a loved one, shouldn’t be trivial pursuit.
When we disagree on anything, it’s never about the win.
It isn’t even, about making, the other person your twin.

DIVIDED AND UNITED

The Republicans and Democrats, both think that they’re right.Standing up for what we all believe in, always worth, the fight.Through…

TAKING BACK CONTROL

When you turn eighteen years of age, you are finally in charge.
An impetuous rush toward someone or something, to enlarge.
No longer a child, you’re an adult, in charge of your own fate.
You are given the right to stand up against injustice and hate.

THIS IS U.S.

This is me, I’m a United States Citizen, hear me roar.
As of late, I have been treated differently than before.
The constitutional rights of some, should be ones for all.
Using liberty to deny freedom, democracy will then fall.

OUR TWO TRUTHS

When comparing our two truths, they are different or the same.
Withholding or compromising your own truth, will cause pain.
For your truth is yours, and my truth is mine, that’s accepted.
Never let anyone convince you that your truth, must be rejected.

THE STATE OF THEM VS U.S.

Some people, in this world, are hanging on by a thread.Hard to live by the punishment, given to them instead.Hateful,…

MORE WITH LESS

You can be happier, confident, and fulfilled by actually doing less.
Contradicting what many believe, who think more makes progress.
You shouldn’t add another level if there are cracks in the foundation.
You can improve the appearance of your structure with self-regulation.

BEING CONFLICTED OR RESISTANT

we see things that don’t match;
It is our head, that we then begin to scratch.
Things we know or believe, not what we see.
We then must give ourselves, the third degree.

100% JUICE

Apples to oranges, then pears, just the same.Loving whom you love, without any refrain.Those who excite and thrill you, always…

POINT OF YOU

In unison, like beats atop the drum, with that thumping pound.
See with me, using a movie camera, recording the latest scene.
Stopping and pausing, making sense of the camouflaged green.

ACCOUNTABILITY OVER PUNISHMENT

Let me start off by saying, that punishment will never be effective.
It does horrible things to you, from mistakes, making you defective.
It is easy to see, that not much logic, can be applied in the defense.
Punishment and incarceration, will make every human, feel tense.

LET LOVE GROW

Love is a feeling, that comes from emotions we all feel inside.
The combination of trust, respect, kindness, and even pride.
Affection we feel for others, must always start with ourselves.
Love doesn’t come from any gift, packaged by Santa’s

CALMING OUR CHOICES

When I’m feeling overwhelmed, give me the power to raise me up.
Don’t let the water start to rapidly overflow, from inside of my cup.
These feelings, overcome me, making it almost too much to bear.
The panic, doom, and terror, I feel inside, outside, and everywhere.

DESTINATION: PLEASANT

All the good things in life, are found on the other side of fear.
Enduring difficult emotions, can always be, a pain in the rear.
Most people hate feeling difficult emotions, wanting it to go.
Not truly understanding, they gave up, what they can bestow.

COMPARE AND CONTRAST

When comparing anything, we must also, then contrast.
Making the joy, that we feel, no longer continue, or last.
When comparing to conform, we betray our difference.
Seeing, being unlike or dissimilar, as a criminal offense.

WHAT DREAMS MAY COME

Too many of us our living our fears, instead of our dreams.
Living or perusing our dreams, never really what it seems.
Always pulling the emergency brake, fearing that we’ll fail.
Only reaching our dream, by believing that we will prevail.

TWO CENTS

The most powerful word, in the English language, is choose.
Humans beings always choose something, to gain or to lose.
Choices, that we make, are based on knowledge or on belief.
The results of our choices, will either bring joy or

OUR SECRET SKELETONS

The secrets of the skeletons, always remain, in our closet.
Some will try to take a withdraw, or even make a deposit.
Like a cobra’s snake skin, they will always leave a thin trail.
The skeletons, that have been shown and removed, prevail.

THE FIGHT IN THE BRIGHT

You might have thought, that you knew what it meant, to be smart.
Thinking it’s a number, a quotient, that is only the beginning, a start.
Intelligence and smartness, are two very different things, we possess.
Our numbers and quotients, all different, will never make us, any less.

SHADOWS OF A SHADOW

My shadow, is scared, of everyone, but not, me.
Following me around, giving me the third degree.
He chases me, whenever I run, at a great speed.
Always with me, it is me, who must, then concede.

SEARCHING FOR SOLUTIONS

o every problem, it is a solution, that we will always, seek.
It does not matter the year, month, or the day of the week.

Making this choice repeatedly, says that I finally matter.
It says I must first belong to myself, before fitting in.
Belonging to myself, to no long

YOU’RE THE PILOT

The brain can be programmed, to carry the entire load.
This is done, so that the mind, doesn’t simply explode.
Life can always be set to autopilot, if that’s your demand.
It is only then, that you’ll be unable to play with the band.

DETOXING THE TOXIC

I’ve encountered many toxic people, they make you, your worst.
They always get what they want from you, even if it’s coerced.
Always getting you to do what they want, it’s just about them.
Mastering the art of manipulation, in maneuvering a problem.

THE FORGIVENESS OF DECEIT

Things done behind your own back, will always destroy trust.
Not respecting the person enough, on their own outside crust.
Misrepresenting the entire truth, they were deceived the truth.

Can you describe the reality without much uncertainty?

SELF REFLECTIONS ARE PROJECTIONS

Done a lot of reflecting and projecting, in my day.

We’re no longer divided by the color of our own skin.

BLAMING THE BLAMER

People are often way too quick to judge,
and not let go of anger, holding a grudge.
Ending up hurting people, never knowing,
that it is stopping someone from growing.
