Life Is For The Living....

A Life not lived
Is like eating
Candy that's not sweet

Or Being at a barbeque
With No Meat

See Life requires teeth
So we can learn to bite

Life is a boxing ring sometimes
So we MUST... learn to fight

Some Folks leave me dazed
As I gaze into their Apathy
Then I blink away the Haze...
and in its place...
Is a Rage inside of  me

Hell No!
I can not just let it be
To walk through life so carelessly

I'm doing things with my life
That's why I BREATHE
I walk on My Dreams...
Because I BELIEVE
I believe I can create...
WHAT I DO NOT SEE

Manifestation
Of Creation
IS My Life
In front of me

I get Pissed when
I see Folks Dripped in
Layers of Lethargy

From them I separate
As IF they had Leprosy

Now I do realize that some
Of us...are indecisive about
Where we fit

Sometimes Life gets overwhelming
Instead of Flowers...
We get dealt shit

Yet EVEN Then
We can't give up
This means our Paths
will soon be clear

In Order to Embrace Life...
WE MUST live it...
With NO FEAR
