What Do You Stand For?

Depending on the perspective
The world can appear cold
a bit disconnected
but don't let this
distract from the main objective in life
to be kind and do right by others
even when those others are cruel
Don't do as they do
but rather chose to set the example
Be one of a handful of people
who treat you
as you're supposed to be treated
Don't feel defeated because you don't fit in
That's a great feeling...
it means you're not like them
Because unlike them....you care
You're aware that your actions matter
You consider other needs in the equation
Despite suasion
Jaded are they who consider only themselves
who help only those who can help them excel
The true judge of character
shows up in a scenario
where someone in need comes to you
with everything to lose
and nothing to give
The way you live will expose
the true character of your soul
Question is.....
what do you stand for?

Take These Idle Hands (Free Flow)

My mind's wondering
People screaming and hollering
I gotta get
out of this place
I'm bout to call it quits
Technically I'm out of my place
Somewhere in outer space
I gotta chase these demons away
before I fall from grace
Part of the human race's flaws I suppose
We can't all be God I suppose
But I still attempt to walk
in the path that He chose
Although I fall through these holes
and stumble over these serpents
I know every fumble has its purpose
And in the end it'll all be worth it
When I see Him in the Light so perfect
My eyes glisten
I finally found what I'd been missing
My Caretaker
Hear every prayer
My Maker
Creator of all things
Dictator of all beings on this earth
Please take these idle hands and make them work.....

An Undeniable Connection

As quickly as you came
You left in the same breath
but your presence still lingers
in a night I can't forget
You made me feel like no other
An other-worldly lover
who uncovered my true self
The way I felt was indescribable
Your aura was so desirable
An undeniable connection
A cosmic attraction
that felt so right
Your body against mine
Our souls intertwined as one
I just knew that it was Love
You looked in my eyes
and felt the same as I that night
Do you remember?
