9/30 - Tipping Point

They say, opinions are like azzholes ... everybody's got one

Well, 

Everyone has a heart too

Everyone has the ability to be compassionate

Everyone has a brain, filled with thoughts ... good and bad

Just imagine if everyone used their powers for good

For the good of everyone else

Some would say, that's a very utopic idea.

And then there would be the ones that say, where's the balance if everyone is doing good for everyone else.

Imagine that. Where's the balance in the bad? In judging? In not being a humanitarian? In not being empathetic? Huh

Does your heart feel
Does your heart feel
Does your heart feel ...

heavier or lighter on your scale?

What's the tipping point?

Peace

8/30 - elevator thoughts

8/30 - elevator thoughts

OK, so, I know the purpose of elevators
Cuz like, unless ur super fitness minded, most are lazy ( like myself) and press the button

Ding

Oh snap, here comes the anxiety
Oh no, you're too close
Why are they all up in my space?
Why are they not speaking English?
Are they talking about me?

I face the door
Waiting all of two minutes, that feels like forever, when is the door gonna open?
Why'd he wear so much Cologne?
I can't breathe.

Dang, why is it so quiet?

I don't wanna be stuck in here, this little box, with these six strangers

Hurry up

What happens if we get stuck
Do I push the fire button

Oh shit!! I'm stuck in here with six strangers

I gotta pee!!

Do U

Do you

Wake up to a new day and give thanks?
Do you

Reflect on your imperfections and realize God doesn't make mistakes?
Do you

Touch your skin and bask in its hue
Realizing that there is NO ONE that is you?
Do you

Watch the sky as clouds go by and dream about wanting to be able to fly?
Do you

Stop and smell the blossoming flowers in the springtime?
Do you

Know that you are magic?

Do you?

They will not let us UNIFY.
Our Unity is their fear.
They will not let us UNIFY.
Our collective economics is where our POWER lies.
They will not let us UNIFY.
Our pride is too strong.
We cannot let the DREAM die.
It's not up to them.
Our Unity is our community.
Our fight is not with them.
When we fight each other.
Our POWER is in our community.
Our community is full of economic strength.
When the collective is joined arm in arm.
We will win.
Don't let the DREAM die.
Our Unity is their fear.
Our collective economics is where our POWER lies.
Our pride is too strong.
Our Unity is our community.
Our community is full of economic strength.
When the collective is joined arm in arm.
We will win.
We will win.
We will win.
We will win.
We will win.

FutUre, 2morrOw

Phew, where to begin

I didn't think in 2015

We'd still be trying to keep King's dream

Growing up, back in the day

Seemed like the future was something

We all wanted to belong to

So many things in the past
Thought we'd get past

Yet, some people wanna forget

The others, well they try

But every day it keeps coming back

All this religion

Ain't nobody saved Yet?

Where did the souls go

The ones that paved these roads

What happened to humanity

One could say, gone to INSANITY

It's crazy to think, to say, to do, or to be

Just another human be-ing

We're passing strangers, things

Getting stranger by the day

When we get too close

There's no words left to say

Just throw up your hands and holler

I wanna think, hope, pray for a better tomorrow

But then I realize, that's what our parents said

So what do we tell our children

In all this strife and sorrow

Things have got to get better

Or there will be no future, tomorrow

Oh To Be

Oh to be a raindrop on a flower petal.

To be so delicate as to nourish 

yet strong enough to free fall.

Oh to be a star in the heavens.

So far out in the ether 

yet bright enough to shine a light.

Oh to be a heart whose beat goes pitter patter.

To be the pulse that fuels a love hereafter.

Yeah ... that.

You ever been with, around or close to someone
Who makes you feel so much?
Amplifies every color?
Makes your skin glow from the slightest touch?
Finishes your sentences
And invades your thoughts?

Yeah, that.

That one who notices every little detail
From how you wear your hair
To the faintness of your perfume smell
How your brow raises in thought
Or when your mood changes
He's right there cheering you on
Arms wide open, hugging you so warm

Your cheeks hurt from smiling so much
He laughs at your corny jokes and such
His gaze is so focused, you are afraid he'll see right through you
And when your eyes meet his
He feels the complete you

Yeah.
That.

Too bad, he's the guy across the street, or behind the counter
Or he's taken by another
Or he's just a figment in your dreams
Yet you keep holding on to the feeling
That one day he'll notice you and wake you up
