Escape Hell

                                         Hot as fu#!
                                      Broke as a joke
                                      Am I tuff enuff 
                       To overcome all this negative stuff?
                                 Responsibility galore
                               Yes, even if you’re poor
                                   Not poor in spirit
                                      Hear my plea
                      Don’t hand me logic based on fallacy
     Be dialectic with me so we may move on together transcendentally...

I GRADE ON MESSAGE , HEART AND SPIRIT EXPRESSED IN A POEM. This one rated tops in all three with me. I say truth outranks all other considerations and equally matches LOVE.. And both are eternal products of divine Light.

Perseverance is something each must learn simply to survive. At times we just simply put on blinders to stay focused. This is another excellent write from the inside. Peace my friend:)
