When Did We Stop...

When did we stop
Saying good morning to one another
When did we start
Looking each other up and down and rolling our eyes
Side eye glare I call it
For no apparent reason
Hateful spirits
Unleashing negativity into the atmosphere
Representing those of minor home training
Happily presenting the syndrome of
Leading others into the destruction of doom
When does emotional intelligence come into play?
When do we teach our children and consumers
That our attitudes are not what we want them to exemplify
We are a reflection of our community, schooling, and surroundings
Choose not the attitude of others
Choose to be more than society expects you to be

Why Do People...

Why do people lie?
Bellowing out layers of fallacies

That would not have been said better

Than the serpent that lead Adam and Eve to their demise

Their slimy scales

Slicker than their gliding tongues

Which has no remorse for the false truths that follows it

Do these deceitful creatures know not what their eyes tell?

What their voice construes?

What their lies unfolds?

Deceit is selfish

Unyielding

Disheartening

Deceit is loveless

Love Lost

Love lost

Being tossed

One hand

One fist

Heavier than a kiss

Quick reaction

Hurt emotions

Long term sentences

The town has spoken

Ridicule for things unknown

Music blares a disheartening song

Tried without the court and jury

This is many man’s fury

Banished from the spotlight

Which society gave him

The beast society created

Now wishes to tame him

Mentality:

We created you

So now we can take you apart

Life as it is and has been

Is this the end of the beginning?

Or the beginning of the end?

In the Midst of the Morning Dew

I want to be lost if you forever

Return to my past being, never

This love of ours, together we tether

Any storm, any type of weather

Our union is real, not pleather

Our love I don’t want to sever

To infinity and beyond, we go to together

Just love and wish upon a feather

Position as Commander-in-Chief

Things change in the matter of moments

What would you do if you were faced with certain challenges that could change the whole dynamics of your organization, company, and even the world?

Could you confidently state you would know the right thing to do?

Sometimes people sit so upright in the scorner’s seat of judgment that they fail to see the role they play within society’s misconceptions of life.

Would these ridiculers make the same trivial mistakes in the decision making process

Or would their decision be what is best for the country

Making decisions and analyzing decisions are two very different accounts

One has the ability of affecting the whole world

The other is just supposed to be an evaluation of the pros and cons of the decision

We all know that analyzing decisions are often biased

With no real reliable data to go off of

And tends to steam from hate and emotionally charged words

As American people

We must know that all decisions are not the best decisions

We live, learn, and move on from our current state of mind

To keep this country going

It’s the only way

It’s the American way

So I say all of this to say

I give respect and patience to my Commander-in-Chief

For I know his job has not been easy

For I hear the blames being tossed his way

Even when he has nothing to do with the accusations

Stay strong

And keep going

When Forever Ends Tomorrow

Sometimes forever ends tomorrow
Leaving no permanent casualties
Only hurt feelings
And temporary states of mind
Forever is sometimes spoken
As to mean until the end of time
Or the end of our life time
We as people know
That our forever is sometimes overshadowed
By beautiful spoken soliloquies
With no partakers of this relational truce
Our forever ends unequivocally
Giving rise to a whole new meaning of forever
I say
Live forever with as much enthusiasm as possible
Because forever could one day
Be true to its inception
