Poem
Fresh and new Adventures to find Skipping to the beat Of a patterned mind Follow the line Never step on the crack The crevices will reveal Wanton lack Free, everything is free For anyone to take Maybe adults have to pay For Mercy's sake Wait! I didn't agree What have I lost Too young to wonder About payment...cost ..............shame ...........................no one, must know ..............................................ever Don't know when movement Stopped, time stood still Holes were dug And things were gathered around the feel .........what is real!?! The clear green pasture Overtaken by burroughs of dirt Landmines of sorrow Continually blowing up the hurt Lack, Lack, Lack Black and oozing on tomorrow Never paying back What was obligingly borrowed That's the thing Return is not an logical option Backward movement Collects waste laden toxins ..........in the soil of the soul One way to clear the path Till the ground with steel blades Ridding the soul of pockets Collecting beliefs that satisfy and fade ..........into wispy lies Today, Truth is clear I can not promise what isn't mine Money I don't have Or payment over time What I have in this moment Is more than enough To meet all my needs Though circumstances are rough LOVE has cleared the way I will flow like a river to the ocean Nothing will cause me concern Because I honor TRUTH by laying down reason and emotion.
