The world is a weird place
First it compels you to change yourself
And then when you do change yourself
It criticizes you for changing yourself!!!
It's pointless trying to hold on to someone whose heart is no longer inclined towards you..you have to let go of that person and all the memories associated with him,no matter how hard and painful it might be.Sometimes it hurts to do the right thing but you still have to do it.
Boy when you lose your health..you really do lose your mind!!!
It's true what they say..'health is truly wealth.'
It's amazing as to the effect self-belief and confidence can have upon you
For if you have these two
Even the most daunting of tasks can be accomplished
And the greatest challenge lies in having these two attributes when things are going bad
For that is the real test...
...When no one gives you a chance
Give yourself a chance by believing in yourself and being confident in your abilities
Your religion or nationality doesn't define you
Your words and actions do
It's pretty sad that a lot of people still think that people belonging to a particular religion or country are terrorists
Terrorism has no religion
When a bomb goes off or when a bullet is fired
It doesn't pick and choose it's victims
The streets bleed violence
But it’s not what you are thinking
Tv has got you drinking up
The new age of segregation
The cultivation of gentrification
One neighborhood split by the highway
One street built up with new projects
To expel so called misfits
Lies value profits over people
See specific skin colors as evil
Or at least deviant

So, I cry out across the canyon
“Tell me you don’t believe in it.
Please tell me you can see it.”

But even the echoes ignore me
How can I save humanity
If they can’t see what I see.

I Put one foot in the grave that I dug,
Take one last hug then I shrug.
Blood pressure rising,
from trying to fight the tyrants,
but it is a losing battle
and even I know it.

So, for every inch forward
I take a hundred and one back.
Till, I collapse ready for the dirt nap,
ready for the final pause,
but maybe someday someone better
will take up my cause.
