Happiness, contentment, fulfillment, pleasure

are buried inside of us like hidden treasures

Like a wealth of good fortune or a pot of gold

it renews are spirit and empowers our soul

It's an inheritance that can't be stolen

A personal drive that keeps on rolling

Through trials, tribulations and personal

demons

My Duty

I do not own this pic

Why should I support your laws

when they're aimed against me

When all I want to do is

worship in my religion,

freely

And how in your right mind

can you think that it's fair

To repeal "certain" American

citizens healthcare

You hide behind a religion

that preached slavery was good

You try to control women's bodies

by defunding

Planned Parenthood

It's plain to me

that your laws are unjust

so it's my duty to

mount a resistance

Like the Boston Tea Partiers

and The Black Panthers of Self Defense

When injustice is the law

we mount a resistance

You call me a criminal because

I'm new to this

country

Inciting violence against me

while encouraging

savages to hunt me

You vilify my misfortunes

and claim all I do is bitch

When I ask for a decent wage

and no more tax cuts for the rich

You laugh at current regulations

to keep our air clean

As if my request for a safe

environment is

a little too extreme

It's plain to me

that your laws are unjust

so it's my duty to

mount a resistance

Like the conservative tea baggers

or The Black Panthers of Self Defense

It's my duty as a 'merican

to mount a resistance

Keep Your Face To The Sun

Keep your face to the sun, today

So when the clouds are covering the sky

the dreams you have of your future

won't be hidden from your eyes

The earth will keep on turning

The trees will still stand tall

While the curious among us

try to make sense of it all

And even though your

inspiration is temporarily out of sight

behind every cloud there

are

rays of sunlight

Which brings forth

The day

and sets the moon aglow

and most importantly,

casts behind us

our gloomy

shadows

The Lucky One

I do not own this pic

She was filled with joy,

jubilation, great pleasure

Her face lit up with light

Her body moved with delight

It was spectacular, grand, phenomenal,

a treasure

One that could not

be measured

As she danced on the beach
without a care

Seductively waving her hands in the air

She sang, "I 'm lucky to have you in my life"

at the top of her lungs

Her body reflecting the light of the moon

Her smile was as bright as the sun

in June

She was so excited, so happy,

having so much fun

But something told me as I witnessed
her moonlight celebration,

that I was
the lucky one

Our Destiny Is Determined By Our Attitude

I do not own this pic

It would be nice if we could just make things go our way

But, ish happens

At least that's what the people say

And despite the truth of this often used

platitude

I believe our destiny is

determined by our attitude

The direction we go

and where we end up

Some say it's preordained

others

think its read at the

bottom of a tea cup

I, however,

think differently

from the way they do

I believe our destiny is determined

by our attitude

But this is just my

opinion and you may disagree

That's cool

everyone must move to the beat

of their own Timpani

As you dance to the beat

I hope it's with deep

gratitude

Cause I believe our destiny is determined by

our attitude

The Attempt To Meditate

I do not own this pic

Body Mind

Spirit Matter

I seek relief from mental chatter

To a higher state

To a conscious mind

From the ego driven self to the divine

Fire Ashes

Earthly Eternal

The presence of distractions feels sempiternal

But with work,

I know, this too will

pass

As sure as the earth is round

and the universe is vast

Give Your Best

I do not own this pic

Give your best in whatever you do

For many times in life

your work speaks for you

It's your calling card
a step toward your goal
your work of art
a window to your soul

It is all that you are
and ever will pursue
So, give your best in whatever it is you
do

A River Of Ideas (Flow)

A river of ideas flow

Pouring from my soul like

a large natural

stream

A torrent of cascading

intentions, thoughts, plans and

dreams

A little extreme

At least it seemed

At first

Cause I was caught off guard,

overwhelmed by the

volume and force

But as the process

takes it's course

I realize

I am the source

I need not live

in uncertainty or doubt

I can let it all

come rushing

out

A flood of creative energy

It's me

Speaking to the universe

Line by line and verse by verse

I immerse

myself in my

gift

I won't drift

Cause as long as it's from my soul

I will find joy
in how it
flows

Unlike Any Other

I do not own this pic

Don't give them the power

Don't let them get in your head

Don't be defeated by the judgment and criticisms

you're fed

It's poison,

used to kill your esteem

Even coming from those who

were thought to be on your

team

So don't be discouraged

stand in your truth

Satisfaction from your commitment

will be your proof

For validation shouldn't have

to come from others

Because

the beauty of your

journey

is
it's unlike

any other

Each One Reach One

Each one Reach one

We gotta teach some

Before the system gets

a hold of them and eats 'em

We see it play out

everyday

They are made to feel worthless in every way

Stigmatized for where they live

Ostracized for the color of their skin

Persecuted in the streets

Executed on the cold concrete

Hating each other at every turn

Venting anger on their community

and watching it burn

When will it end

When will the awakening come

When each one of us, reaches one

Yes, that sometime thankless task

of passing on wisdom before we pass

For they're under attack before their young lives begin

From media portrayal and the legislative pen

Labeled thugs, criminals, and up to no good

And god forbid if they're wearing a hood

But they're our beautiful young,
talented, souls

With unlimited potential
yet, most haven't been told

You matter
We care
And we will do all we can
to support you,
protect you
and nurture your plans

For there's no
telling all that
they can become

If each one of us, reaches one

Prideful ( Our Minds Can Be Monsters )

Our minds can be monsters

lurking in the shadows

Preying on our vulnerability

and defeating us in battle

The more you're sure you know

The more you won't

recognize it

when

you really don't

It's a catch 22 for the misinformed

Who have formed opinions that can't be reformed

At least they think they can't

but it's a fantasy

brought to fruition

by arrogance and vanity

critical, judgmental,

and rarely seen

until it sabotages

some of everything

So the next time you

think you know it all

Remember the arrogance and

pride that comes before the fall

The Original Rock God

Hail! Hail! To the original Rock god

Ripping it up on his guitar

Music pioneer

King of kings

in Rock and Roll before it was a thing

When it was race music or the devil's spawn

He would rock the stage all night long

Separate but (not) equal was the law

But his Rock and Roll helped to tear down those walls

From the Record Player to the Juke Box

to Letterman jackets and Bobby sox

They were sharing a shake and shaking their bod's

Hail! Hail! To the original Rock god

Mr. Rockstar swagger with the winning smile

The British invaders loved his style

His presence, his influence, and his guitar riffs

This musical icon was a gift

that will just keep on giving

Though, without him around it'll be sad and odd

But I'm his memory,

Hail! Hail! To the original Rock god

Uplift

The gift is swift

as your body swings

You go

to the flow

and just do your thing

Something new

for you

Spice up your routine

When you arrive

get live

on this love supreme

The beat feeling sweet

as you begin to shift

Can't resist the bliss

of the Uplift

Infinity On My Mind

I do not own this pic

In you

I see

the wonders of the universe

Endlessly beautiful, engaging, diverse

Eyes like a sunrise's brilliant shine

Lips like heaven

Euphoric, sublime

Like infinity on my mind

Your aura is as seductive

as the stars in the sky

or a warm summer night

when lovers sigh

Your words sound of music

Exquisite, refined

Lyrically luscious

intoxicating as wine

Like infinity on my mind

As vast as space

as deep as the sea

majestic as mountains

mysterious as galaxies

Your alluring appeal

and prepossessing charm

was created by the dust

of exploding stars

Forever in your

presence is

paradise

Perpetual pleasure

infinitely nice

A more glorious

likeness I'd

be hard press to

find

Then the vision of you

transcending time

and representing all of creation

like infinity on my mind

Like infinity on my mind

Your Time Is Now

You can't wait any longer

your time is now

The "Perfect Time"

never comes any how

So the mission is,

if you dare

To bare your soul

without a care

To sing your song out loud

To live your truth and be proud

For Trolls will come and they will go

And obstacles will always be on the road

But if you truly want to be free

Create the world that ought to be

Sweet Relief

The ego is a lie

An artificial high

Anxiety is a thief

Offering no relief

In our daily grind

As we navigate through life

Even the stoic among us know

Emotions will eventually show

And often manifest

in characteristics that aren't the best

However,

If we stay

on guard

We can prevent

problems before they

start

Because

the ego is a lie

it's an artificial high

Anxiety is a thief

And overcoming the two
is sweet
relief

It's My Mind

It's my mind

Never mind

what's not mine

Myriad events

Deciphering content

Other folks 2 cents

Time not well spent

Wasted

Power resides in me

Once again, I see

Meditation is the key

I practice diligently

Face it

Spiritual competence

Restored confidence

And, returned strength

I've been grateful ever since

Lessons Learned

We relive the past most of the time

Be it through worry, conversation, or a habit of some kind

Emotional baggage that weighs us down

Steals our treasures and usurps our crown

But life wasn't meant to be full of regrets

And we don't make memories just to forget

So, what if we embraced lessons of old

What if we forged a new way, something bold

A different approach from new type of mind

A mind that learns lessons so things are better

next time

Embrace The Beauty Of Life

Saturday warms and Sunday cools

So this I say to you

Embrace the beauty that is life

which blesses us with day, as well, as night

And dazzles us with sun, as well, as snow

Marvel's us with Mountains high

and valleys low

Beauty that is displayed everyday

and bear's witness in every way

Miraculous Destiny

What's in the heart

What are we drawn to be

Listening to the inner voice

is the key

I mean, we all have desires

from time to time

That pique our interest and arouse

our minds

But the ego craves attention

and weakens the will,

bathes in accolades

and leave us unfulfilled

Intuition, on the other hand,

awakens the spirit

with music for the soul

we taste, feel and hear it

and open up

to what we were meant to be

A powerful life-force

with a miraculous destiny

Windstorms are brewing in the air

I think congress is trying to F up my healthcare

Social media got me feeling less social and more alone

They say the CIA is spying on my TV and Smartphone

We the people just commiserate and complain

While politicians deny the science of climate change

Bur that's ok, this is normal, they swear

When you're trapped in a Reality show Nightmare

We legitimize an election the Russians stole

And the Manchurian president is a Twitter Troll

Life Is Happening

Life is happening, as we speak

and it's not for the faint of heart,

nor for the weak

It smells weakness and quickly attacks

Often times leaving you flat on your back

Taking you through rough patches, spells and bouts

Pushing you around and knocking you out

But believe it or not,

it doesn't have to be this way

You wearing a wounded heart on your sleeve

everyday

Disappointment it comes

and it will go

But you don't have to let it defeat you

Use it to grow

Hone your skills

and toughen your skin

Learn the lessons of hard knocks,

my friend

Till it's written deep in your heart

and you commit

Cause life is all about what you
make of it

Face The Storm

It was a rough and windy day

That's what they say

Trees were bending as if they would break

And it seemed to be driving her out of her mind

She was worried and stressed out the entire time

Till finally she headed out
Things were blowing around

Danger was in the air and it made ominous sounds

And she could barely breathe as the wind pushed against her face

But, miraculously, she found her footing and steadied her pace

The winds increased and the storm crashed

And that's when she saw the world for what it was as last

Unpredictable, intense, severe and alive

This new found knowledge gave her drive

and from that day on she made it her norm
To put worry aside and face the storm

Set Your Intentions

I do not own this pic

Set the intention

Make your move

But be prepared to get knocked down

Cause when opportunity presents itself

opposition is always around

So keep your mind keenly focused

Know distraction will come your way

get back on course

forget regrets

Whenever you've gone astray

For nothing good comes easy

and nothing bad is hard

So when tenaciously pursuing your passion

Remember this and stay on guard

Let's Do What We Can

Let's do what we can

A bit of good

No matter where we are

Little by little, bit by bit

the impact will travel far

For what seems to be insignificant

will gradually unfurl

And what was once that little bit

Will grow strong enough to

overwhelm the world

Rise Above It All

When the petty are determined to make you feel small

Meet your potential and rise above it all

Not flippantly dismissing them for ego sake

Not with malice, ill will, criticism or hate

But to lead by example and set the tone

For what it seem the world ought have known

That when the petty are determined to see you fall

We must be the bigger person and rise above it all

Be Persistent

Persistence,

a firm continuance in your course in spite opposition

results are inevitable, if this becomes your daily decision

My skill has been honed by many years

of hard work, sweat, and tears

But there are still goals
my words have claimed

That I'm not quite sure how to obtain

As well, you have a special knack

Of finding the wind at your back

Invest In People

Invest in people

your time, your kindness and love

Why should anyone have to wait

till heaven above

To feel the sun

shining on their face

Or to feel relief from the maddening rat race

I'm not condemning those

who worship

under a steeple

but shouldn't we assist each other now

Shouldn't we invest in people

Invest in people with your knowledge,

your resources and skill

Instead of harshly judging those in need

show a little goodwill

Not just mindless giveaways

to ease guilty souls

But, see the best in who they are

And, teach a better way to carry the load

Cause as we were taught not long ago

We are our brothers and sisters keepers

And since that is so

let's invest in people

Why Lament

Why lament,

why wallow in sorrow

for time already spent

Why wail and moan

or weep or cry

Your fate's not set

until you die

So create

design, develop, generate

the world you see yourself in

Forge ahead, make it happen

Although, the skill you have
you

won't lose it

Unless, of course, you never use it
