Here’s how you gain prosperity
Pick the type of person you’ll be
In picking, keep your mind intact
Don’t be acted upon, but act

Look around at great ones you know
Their successes easily show
That this one maxim they enact
Don’t be acted upon, but act

When trying on the victim stance
Or feeling passive, take a chance
Stay on task - remember this fact
Don’t be acted upon, but act

Don’t rely on muscles and brawn
Do act - not be acted upon
Memorize this, and never go back
Don’t be acted upon, but ACT

Nothing in life is made, only re purposed.

The writer’s job
is to build the words,
not perform for applause
or join cheap cliques.
The printed word, baby,
that’s the nervous anticipation
for the 300 pound *****
who ***** the best ****.
Words are the hit of whiskey
after the sun drops
below the buildings.

-Ron Gavalik

Pigeons only **** on the tallest of statues.

You can only do so much to do right with no guidance, to quickly do wrong.

The sun either burns you, or, you have stayed in its grace for too long.

Snakes go where the grass grows tall.

Knowing the mountain will not tell you the climb, but help you plot a route.

Age is not just a number, but a ruler to how well one utilizes time.
