The Act of Thinking

"I got them old bones man"

There shakin’

And there rattlin’

These demons

I’m battlin’

Time

Is unraveled in

Sin, desperation, disbelief

Misconduct and mischief

 

Stretching

Feels like a prison camp

For old men

Where all those old men do

Is stretch

My body is a concern as my mind

wanders,

And ponders,

And potentially acts, on

large acts of

greatness

and I bear witness

to future bewilderment

that has already past

but lingers,

and fingers,

the ******* blame

on my ***

 

I wanna live a life of positive affirmations

That’s what I feel is happenin’ you know what im’ sayin

And I keep playin

Games I love and things that I believe

Goals not yet not accomplished

And new one’s I wanna achieve

 

And a New year brings new things

Don’t break your dreams

Don’t undervalue and don’t leave

Places you don’t want to be

Don’t be a double negative

Take advantages of openings and opportunities

Don’t be a hypocrite and you will completely agree

 

All those good things

Your gonna do more of in a new year

 

No matter how niave, egocentric  or misadvised…

 

… in someone else’s eyes  

 

Have no fear

share your gifts

and create your gifts

don’t buy them,

and if you buy them

don’t buy them at walmart

or in malls or in big cities

 

Everything I ever wish to write

Is an anthem to change the world

And the revolution starts

As soon as I change

As soon as I arrange my priorities

 

**** the majority

 

Start a brother/sister sorority,

And I will put down this beer,

Quit a job that doesn’t matter

And put my energy

Into passions and emergencies

And change the world

By meditating

Saying some kind words about myself

With my eyes closed

While deeply breathing

And exploring galaxies with ease

The entire universe…

 

… I think I Am going back to university
