"The Reality"
The reality is, things shift
facts change
love disappears
marriages desist
abortions exist
alliances alter
rules are rewritten
values are cast off
and replaced by new ones
expertise is challenged
or termed fraudulent
fashions come and go
Our lives are changed swift
"Backfire"
The boomerang effect
Something to expect
What you put into the tape player you get back with eject
what goes around comes back around
at some point in our life hurt is bound
lies and deceit will of course be found
Treat people as you want to be treated and with respect
Don't play on other's intellect
Evil doing will come calling on you collect
"The Root"
Skin is like soil
That people love to ponder and toil
And try to dehumanize and demoralize
Yet you should still can organize
Yet you should still can strategize
Yet you should still can conceptualize
That the power is truth internalize
"Fishing for our dreams"
Everyday we walk to our spots
Bait our hooks
Cast our lines
Sometimes no nibble to give us hope
Don't be frustrated
Don't be discouraged, just cope
Don't feel like you're at the end of a rope
Don't give up fishing for your dreams
Preserve in life's ocean, sea, or streams
There's the catch of a lifetime
Out there waiting for us prime
Losing faith is a crime
Reel in your dreams anytime
"Life's slot Machine"
Life is like a slot machine
The coins are work and ideas lean
You influenec the changes of winning with will
Hoping it will pay off in a money spill
We've got to keep trying till
All the cherries line up for real
The right idea, the right time, the right place
Someone eventually wins in the casino earth space
You eventually have to account for it in the IRS race
"An Angle"
Two lines merging at a common point
Two beings merging into a marriage joint
Relationships of lines, solids, surfaces, and angles
Relationships of love tangles
Relationships of gold and diamond dangles
Configuration, arrangement
Dating, engagement
Wedding, combinement
An angle of life,
An angle of becoming husband and wife
"A Road Block"
When will it end - - enough is enough
Never ending episode
Dating deception desist
Never ending sequel
Dating Deception desist
Never ending series
Dating Deception desist
Never ending segment
Dating Deception desist
Never ending saga
Dating Deception desist
Why is it - - Relationships are rough?
"Do We?"
Do we need satan
The evil one
The adversary
The prince of darkness
The father of lies
The enemy
The lucifer
The mephistopheles
The devil
The demon
The monarch of hell
The archfiend
Do we need hating?
"Punctuation Mark"
When a man doesn't want you anymore. PERIOD
Assertive
Desist
A POINT AT WHICH SOMETHING IS ENDED
AN ABYSS OF COMPETITION
A SIGN CALLED STOP
declarative
halt
When there is a full pause at the end of a stentence. PERIOD
"Love Lotion"
I POUR ON
the beauty of caring,
the attractiveness of sharing,
the prettiness of devotion,
the elegance of mutual respect & strong emotion,
ALL OVER MY BODY THE LOVE LOTION
"Love Game"
TO STUDY NEGATIVE EMOTION AND BEHAVIOR
LOVE IS THE SAVIOR
WITH UNPROVABLE ASSUMPTIONS
A SUBJECTIVE FIELD
TOO EMOTIONAL THAT SOCIAL SCIENTISTS YIELD
COUNTLESS STUDIES ON WAR, HATE, CRIME, AND PREJUDICE
STUDIES OF LOVE ARE OFTEN MISSED
NOT COMFORTABLE STUDYING LOVE PER SE
BUT WHAT HAPPENS WHEN LOVE IS DEFICIENT, THWARTED,
WARPED, OR ABSENT DO THEY
LOVE IS A SMALL WORD IN LIFE'S OCEAN, SEA, AND BAY
THE GAME OF LOVE WE ALL DO PLAY
"Facing Love"
To Face love head - on afraid
With my heart someone once played
Hesitant I am made
A sort of traffic accident of the heart won't fade
My haert was cut with a blade
Vagueness of the word foiled
For another man I am soiled
Vulnerablity toiled
My rusted heart must be oiled
Undersanding the apeal of music
Understanding what maks love tick
Understanding how to heal from heart sick
Understanding man's deceitful trick
Understanding how to cope with this blow - this lick
Understanding how to rebuild brick by brick
To face in majesty of love with vigor
To face the serengeti of the heart like a trigger
To face the cupid's arrow now I'm much bigger
Love's a wholesome violence to figure
"The Real Work"
The real work is in the daily "grind"
of working toward our goals
of knowing when to go to voting polls
of managing our lives and careers
of knowing when you've had too many beers
of contributing to our communities
of creating strong families
THE REAL WORK IS IN SHAPING THE "MIND"
of reading a book
of giving art a look
of catching a fish with worm and hook
of earning your own money--not being a crook
of learning to iron, clean, and cook
THE REAL WORK IS BEING AN ECONOMIC "FIND"
of knowing how and what to invest
of having a resume that is the best
of maximizing your learning curve
of guessing the lottery powerball trend swerve
of knowing how to reach total satisfaction
of devising a business, it's plan, and entrepreneur action
of differentiating between the profit and loss fraction
THE REAL WORK IS UNITING "HUMANKIND"
of ending the hatred and bigotry mode
of keeping parents in a healthy abode
of not being societies welfare freeload
THE REAL WORK IS BEING A "MASTERMIND"
"Repertoire"
TO GET THE ATTENTION OF THE OPPOSITE SEX
introduction
SPELLING OUT THE PREMISE OR PURPOSE OF

LEARNING A PERSONS PROBLEMS,
MOTIVATION & COMPLANCEY

THEN TIES UNRAVEL
conclusion
"Abrupt"
LOVE IS BLIND
when your lover could do no wrong
when you walk around happy singing a romantic song
when you feel closeness and warmth like you belong
when you only see what you want to see
when your emotions are played on and climbed like a tree
when you are overwhelmed by the attention,
companionship,
and tranquillity
when you don't see the obvious things before your eyes
and suffer humility
LOVE ISN'T KIND
"Hit the Road"
I DON'T NEED, WANT, OR LOVE YOU ANYMORE
make like a tree & leave
make like a ball & bounce
make like a tire & roll
make like the devil & go to hell
make like a green light & go
make like a bird & fly away
make like a bee & buzz off
make like a hurricane & up root
make like money & bye
make like a banana sundae & split
SEE YOU LATER MY EX AMOR
"Life's a Make-Up Case"
LIFE IS LIKE A WOMAN'S MAKE-UP CASE
many shades of eye shadow & eye liner
many colors of lipstick & lip liner
many tones of foundation
many hues of blush
MANY CULTURES BUT ONE HUMANRACE
"One Race"
ONE COLOR SHOULD MATTER: GREEN
not black not red
not white not yellow
SO MUCH EMPHASIS ON COLOR: OBSCENE
not black not red
not white not yellow
WE ALL ARE A HUMAN: BEING
"Step by Step"
Step by Step we walk our pace
Step by Step mortgages are paid for a home abode place
recipe steps to cooking a dish
staircase steps to reach a higher plain or level
educational steps to land a job
baby steps to learn to walk
promotion steps to higher wages and title
programming steps to using vcr when not at home
accounting steps to economically run a business' finances
relationship steps to eventually lead to marriage
maneuvering steps to operate the clutch of an automatic car
dieting steps to loosing weight
budgeting to manage income and expenditure
navigation steps to sailing the sea to catch a fish
STEP BY STEP WITH AGE LOSING A YOUTHFUL FACE
STEP BY STEP WE RUN LIFE'S RACE
