Learn to embrace all that you are
Appreciate those who love you and you'll go far
Far beyond the realm of fair weather friends
And the nonsense of the it crowd letting you in
You're unique, compassionate and have a sound mind
Your resilience equips you for turbulent times
Born and bred of a love supreme
You work diligently to reach hopes and dreams
So have faith and shine as bright as the stars
And learn to embrace all that you are

As we strive to make it through to a better, brighter day
And deal with the slings and arrows we've endured along the way
May we appreciate the many blessings that were disguised as hurt and pain
And acknowledge the sun shines brighter after storms and heavy rain
For life is gifted to us from precious privilege to burden's bore
And divine favor and protection are given to those who give back more.

I know you wanna, but don't look away
You're tired but you must endure, stay
And, yes, you've been through a lot It's been rough
At times it has seemed to be way too much
But, you're a survivor, a thriver, and stronger than you know
So get up, dust off, cause you have more in you, for sho'
Through heartache, happiness, disappointment, hope
The times you feel at the end of your rope
Your successes will far out weigh your fails
And you will inspire us
and lead by example
as well

Whether we rise or fall
Make this worse for some or a better place for all
Should not be in the hands of the powerful few
who let "corporate sponsors" tell them what to do
No!
Why take a chance at destiny when we can choose
Why believe for us to succeed someone has to lose
Why not learn from our shortcomings and blaze a new trail
Be above not beneath The head not the tail
Not through dogma or through, so called, leaders who demand blind trust
But by realizing the fate of humanity
is totally up to us

Were you there
When the eyes of the world seemed to care
When people of all creeds caught a glimpse
And we heard those agonizing words from his lips
I Can't Breathe
Were you in disbelief, staring at your screen
Did your humanity rise up, holla' Did it scream
Enough
In that summer of soul was your voice heard
Did you take action, write a letter, say a gawddamn word
When the streets were alive with protest, and statues of hate were destroyed
When the Pandemic raged and hard working folk were suddenly unemployed
When corporations falsely claimed they would do their part
And a fascist leader, of privilege, lead with a hateful heart
When people of goodwill united and justice was in the air
Do you remember, my friend,
Were you there

AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE
Southern surge in the summer sun
Folks are sick of restrictions but Covid ain't done
It's a pandemic, ya'll, not an unwanted opinion
That will just go away because some folk are offended
Naw! We're in this together Whether you believe it or not
And the science of prevention is all we got
Instead of fighting and making this a political debate
Realize we alone are the masters of our fate
Which is intertwined through breath and blood
Destroyed by hate, restored by love
Not just love of self , but of fellow (Wo) man
Wake up, folks, we must do what we can
"To get back to those good ol' days"
We must avoid this ish like it's the plague

Billionaires' in space! Look at 'em go!
One small step for man, that's fo sho'!
I mean space exploration brings benefits, no doubt
But it's time we use that money, brain power, to figure more urgent things out
Call me old fashion or even naive
But, shouldn't we eradicate the problems on Mother Earth before we leave
Off into space! The final frontier!
If you got enough money, of course
Other than that, they're gonna leave yo ass here
