The game of life is simple,
Follow the rules,
Know the walkthroughs,
And you'll get by just fine.

You should know that,

Life on Earth is a gamble,
And we're all here to win,
Making a bet on that roulette,
Wanting another spin.

Be aware that,

We care so much for ourselves,
And forget to consider others,
We all want fame and glory,
Leaving room for being mean and no more for sincerity.

Lastly realize and put to heart,

That every person on this planet,
Are like lottery tickets,
Scratch the surface,
To see the *** of gold underneath.
This is what I've learned about life so far...

let it be so
we wish to live a natural life
especially our children
to see us off
for they can bear the loss
once prepared for life
by us who loved them

let it be so
we wish to earn our keep
to toil as honest men
without remorse for deceipt
or shame without wealth
only health and respect
for ourselves and others

let it be so
we wish to drop our sword
and our judgments
to feel healed wounds
and heal others
not by miracles
but instead by kindness

let it be so
we wish to envy no man
to find peace without pain
to save those who would be conquered
as well as our own vanquished souls
to give thanks for our blessings
and to help those who have none

If God is for someone

No one

can be against them.....

But we must all

(believers, that is)

humble ourselves
....and pray....

If My people
turn, repent, and pray

I will heal their land.

No man

no group

no EVIL

can

stop

ME.

GOD is not a man, that He should lie.

Remember Pharoah?

He and his minions ALL DROWNED in the RED SEA.

Stand still and see what God does.

Hear my heartbeat now
With ears pressed to humble chest
Ever calling out
Short and sweet

dare i wonder what you think of me
for i do not know what i think of myself.
maybe there's a difference between how you see yourself and how you let others see you.
     am i a plague or a remedy
     am i stone cold or burning flames
     am i chilled to the bone or am i a home
sometimes home can be a person, but i am no home.
my hands are cold, they will burn you with
frost. i am kind but i am afraid.
my chest hurts with the thought of you.
not because i wish to have you but because
                            i don't.
maybe i do, but i am an ocean and you are lost in me. i can see the moon.
     do i flee from what i have only to retreat to what i am?
i ask of you, are you something new or the
                             thing that i can't find.
i have a treasure that i wish to keep and
                              not soil.
you are a treasure of your own.
yet i am not worthy.

i can have obsidian or i can have gold.
Man has always been greedy but i am
                      Humble.
     am i kind?
am i kind to take a cherry with
     cyanide pit?
you believe me a diamond, but i am only coal.
you, my dear, have a heart made of gold.

O’
Supreme
Master of universe
The creator of life and death
You fashioned me in heavens and
Sent me down to this dark place
Now guide me to your light
As I am lost once
Again

Fill
Me with
Purity of Thy love
So that your faith exists
Within my soul once again
Overflow my humble heart
With the aim that I am
Forever drunk once
Again

You
Know me best
So flow your passion
Within my blood streams once again
Intoxicate this wicked life of mine
In order that I will join
Your bounty once
Again

You                                                    ­                                                         
Are the supreme lover                                                                   
And I am in need of your affection once again
                                I have turned into a selfish animal
                                                          Shine your message hence that
                                                                                       I turn human once
                                                           ­                                                      Again
    Let                                                ­                                                            
        The moments be                                                              ­                    
                   When I shall bow to you here                                           
                ­                         And my soul will be there in                     
                                        ­                    Heavens with you once  
                                                         ­                                          Again
         Bless                                                          ­                                
                Me with a new day                                                            
­                                            And a new beginning once                                
                           ­                                                            Again                          
  Guide                      ­                                  
         Me to your light                              
                 As I am lost once          
                                      Again

Humbled by life
Not by strife
All the same
Holding blame
Each unique
Let us speak
From the ground
All around
Rising now
Help us how?
No oppression
Free expression
Let us see
What will be

You'll never have anything in life
you don't respect,
including love , money or whatever you want .

When I play music from my phone,
I delete songs
not because you were apart of that moment
I just don't like the left side of my chest
feeling like I'm falling out of the sky

When I'm trying to pick up the pieces...
Come back to me... *remove from playlist*

"I"
My mind
The creator
Of unachievable
Adonistic beliefs
Goes hammer and tongs
As an angry blacksmith
Fragmenting further
What was once
Beautiful
Innocent
Whole
Humility is such a rare element. The campus and surfer communities are so full of chest pounding ego pumping Neanderthals I often wonder if they ever started innocent too?!! Of course they did!
