Reality
The majority of people duck reality. Reality is a river with a fierce current. You can try & resist but the current won’t stop. It moves faster & stronger then you ever will. People give in. People have to many vices that blur their vision. Most people accept what it is and never go against the mainstream. Swim up the mainstream, go against what is the norm and what is being force fed to you. Living life this way takes perseverance and determination.
Society, civilization, language, just living day by day, people are tired. They don’t have the strength to make change....

Appreciation for the Journey
You can’t truly appreciate
Freedom
Until you’ve fought
Your demons
Blood-knuckled
Knee deep
In the stench of despair
No matter how many times
It took

LEADER Acrostic
NEEDED
Regardless of the
direction you choose
to look, there is a
desperate need for
leadership on all levels,
among all people. Here
is a little acrostic I share
with my team.
WHAT IS A LEADER?
A leader...
L-eads himself FIRST
E-nthusiastic for cause/misson
A-ttitude set of positive
D-elegates responsibilities
E-mpowers others
R-eaches clear outcome objectives.
We desperately need leaders
who will lead from the front,
not the rear ... we use to have
these kind of leaders,...

Zeal
The shadows have darker shadows on the path unknown.
Surrounded by people, I'm always alone.
No passengers on this journey.
On a starless night odyssey.
To find the known in my bone.
Coated in the resilient sparkle of lessons
learned.
Pain is purpose revealed.
Nestled deep in the horrors is buried the zeal.
Surrounded by people, I'm always alone.
No passengers on this journey.
On a starless night odyssey.
To find the known in my bone.
Coated in the resilient sparkle of lessons
learned.
Pain is purpose revealed.
Nestled deep in the horrors is buried the zeal.

courage
there is dignity still. yes there is courage
sadness peaks and overpours it must be expressed
let notes of powerful beauty explain
bombs and guns can not silence the soul of the brave
the blood of humanity will cry out to the heavens, hear the Ukraine
rising on the winds to reach the hearts of others
yes, I'm still here, feel my pain
in the tall of my back I am speaking to the downtrodden and afraid
music soothing the frayed spirits
for a moment transported to better days
in an instant all the joyous days spent playing...
sadness peaks and overpours it must be expressed
let notes of powerful beauty explain
bombs and guns can not silence the soul of the brave
the blood of humanity will cry out to the heavens, hear the Ukraine
rising on the winds to reach the hearts of others
yes, I'm still here, feel my pain
in the tall of my back I am speaking to the downtrodden and afraid
music soothing the frayed spirits
for a moment transported to better days
in an instant all the joyous days spent playing...

Colors Of The Stars
Suppose it was a starry night
But all the stars did not burn bright
Because some of them wore green or blue
And me, myself took center stage
Declaring that it wasn't I
Who thought that it was right to pry
And mettle in someone's private life
Causing all kinds of disturbing strife
Pardon me if I go incognito
Sick to death of all that doesn't matter
Perhaps you do not even know me
Amongst all of the likes and follows
You must be aware I'm not a quitter ...
But all the stars did not burn bright
Because some of them wore green or blue
And me, myself took center stage
Declaring that it wasn't I

And mettle in someone's private life
Causing all kinds of disturbing strife
Pardon me if I go incognito
Sick to death of all that doesn't matter
Perhaps you do not even know me

There is No Password
Flying under the radar
Off course on purpose
Blackened wings
Off the grid
If you want to find me
There is no password
But there is a code
Remember what I told you
My protectors are none
My allies have faded
My course is clear
New frontiers await
Off course on purpose
Blackened wings
Off the grid
If you want to find me
There is no password
But there is a code
Remember what I told you
My protectors are none
My allies have faded
My course is clear
New frontiers await

i want to dance
i want to
hop, skip,
parade
myself around,
to glide
effortlessly
just above
the hardwood
flooring,
to foolishly
show off
my
non-skills,
to have fun
when it
comes to
the art
of dancing,
hop, skip,
parade
myself around,
to glide
effortlessly
just above
the hardwood
flooring,
to foolishly
show off
my
non-skills,
to have fun
when it
comes to
the art
of dancing,

I'LL GET YOUR PECKER UP
I'll get your pecker up,
I'm giving you a cup
Of aphrodisiac.
You'll fire well in the sack!
When you have drunk it down
We'll be heard around town
When we've broken the bed
As you serve pencil lead.
I'm giving you a cup
Of aphrodisiac.
You'll fire well in the sack!
When you have drunk it down
We'll be heard around town

Silver Linings
A Quatern
Because every storm runs out of rain
The dark will not last a long time
Eventually you will feel that the pain
Will subside into the back of your mind
But it will serve as a reminder
Because every storm runs out of rain
You’ll have to be your own pathfinder
Even if you go against the grain
At times you’ll feel like you might go insane
When the hard days seem to be so long
Because every storm runs out of rain
In the end when you become more strong
...
Because every storm runs out of rain
The dark will not last a long time
Eventually you will feel that the pain
Will subside into the back of your mind
But it will serve as a reminder
Because every storm runs out of rain
You’ll have to be your own pathfinder
Even if you go against the grain
At times you’ll feel like you might go insane
When the hard days seem to be so long
