A collaboration between me and my bro @AHumblefella titled Quiet Moments

@dtyler1973- Quiet moments are a test
The brain is constantly moving
Even in idle time it’s hard to rest
Though the peace is soothing
There is too much information to digest
So, we keep consuming
Until our mental appetite is suppressed
Gluttony of our own choosing  
 
But a quiet moment can be divine
It offers us peace of mind
Time to reflect
Time to inspect 
Time to plan for what’s next
If we are willing to take the time
To Invest 

@AHumblefella - In a quiet house, I drop my thoughts, 
On a sheet of paper or iphone notes, 
It could be something naughty to my lover, 
Or something educational to stop the drama, 
See quiet moments bring about peace, 
The peace we often overlook for that golden piece, 
We work our minds and bodies till we are forced to rest, 
Yet comfort doesn’t come from all that stress, 
We must learn to work smart as well as work hard, 
Because you see running tirelessly without a plan could leave you with an empty heart

You don’t need 20/20
To have vision
About where you want your life is go
You don’t need to see it with your own 2
To believe it will come true
All u need is
foresight
Intuition
And the ability to learn from insight
To execute it with precision

We purchase emotionally first
Parched for material things
Gluttony quenches our thirst
Our wallet is no more then a perch
Where Franklin resides
For our conscious we search
While our guilty pleasures hide
But we take action
Once our heart decides
We just need money
To complete the transaction

I have dreams to chase
So I constantly hustle
As I chase those dreams
I’m being chased by the struggle
Once caught it’s hard to untwine
So I keep my head on a swivel
And my feet moving at all times
Dreams in my scope
Feet on the ground
The look of determination
Disguised as a frown
With every step I get stronger
My endurance builds up
As the chase gets longer
I refuse to let struggle catch up
Dreams are allusive
But I’m closing in
Once I catch them
The fun begins

Sometimes you have to swim
Into the waves
In order to reach your heights
So you can coast into shore
And live your best life

We live in a place with high taxes but low wages. Where people live in savaged places with no hope for the future and the look of despair on their faces

We live in a place with overpaid attorneys and under
With over capacitated jails, with vacancy open for kids who fail and have been failed by parents who didn’t reach them in time. As a result they’ve chosen a life of crime

We’re known as the land of the free, home of the brave, the place to be. However, we fail to mention the disparities that greet us at the door on a daily basis. Disguised as the sun, moon or fresh air. So we head out there thinking we can see the world crystal clear. This is a sign and we shouldn’t ignore it, because we can’t afford it. We’re losing souls at a rapid pace. Once they’re gone they can’t be replaced
