My name is “Israel” McCorkle, my name proves I am real,
due to its prefix, it’s not just a fix,
it’s a mental realization.

People always ask about,
and compliment my first name.

It has an aura,
It’s a powerful meaning.
Something that holds the strongest value
and is one of the most powerful parts of my identity.

And the word of the known name,
it goes back years and years
all the way to the Bible
and the Israel lights.

Not only does it have the wording of a country,
but it's a name most known in the biblical world.

It echoes through the ages,
back to ancient light,
From stories in the Bible
to the brave Israelites.

It sounds just like a nation,
with history so grand,
Yet also speaks of spirit —
a force that takes a stand.
I never ask for anything
that I don’t need,
I never beg,
I never shout,
I never pout.

I’m like a bird
with no wings
or no rout.

Giving money,
giving clothes,
giving everything that’s around you
and the closest to you,
but far nowhere near
the thought of giving support.

The money,
the nickels,
the dimes,
all of what can’t replace time
is the opposite of believing
in a single soul.

My mindset and motivation
doesn’t always run on money,
it runs on belief
and that is what keeps my engine going
during the hard times
of the storms and the clouds.

When I’m finally ready,
I will be shinny
more than the sun
has ever shinned
in front of the crowds.

I never do ask for what I need
because God already gave me
all of what I needed
deep down in my soul,
my heart,
and all of what’s around me—

the roof over my head
and a beautiful women
to motivate me,
to keep my engine going,
and to fight for what will be
forever ours in the future
and for what all we have left
on this earth.
As we live on this earth
day by day.

As we think about tomorrow
and experiencing that tomorrow the next day,
You realize yourself being in the future
at that very moment,
You realize you were thinking about the same day
that you’re in right now
that you were thinking about yesterday.

The present is the past
regardless of today
and as we think of the past,
as we are currently in the future.

Every day is the future
except the other days
that happened before today.

People who live in the present
will always have a hard time
trying to escape the past,
but if you think ahead into the future,
you will be unstoppable.

— The End —
