Notes About The Poem

IN ORDER TO GO, YOU HAVE TO STOP

 

Listen, understand, and be aware:

In order to go, you have to stop

Procrastinating and wallowing 

In abject apathy:-

 

You've got to stop saying to yourself,

“I can’t deal with this BS anymore”:

 The shackling of you, not going:-

Yes, in order for you to go, you have to stop;

You have to stop putting off today, what is

Necessary for tomorrow to become

A wishful, blessed today:-

 

Listen, understand, and be aware:

Yellow-thoughts, prepare you

To get ready to stop and 

Prepare to reflect on

The greening light

To go where He

Sends you:-

Remember, heat comes

With the light of wisdom’s fire:-

Thus, it’s time to stop just sitting there,

And get going where God has fired you up to be!

 

While there may often be blinking yellow lights,

Signaling a time to slow down and assess the route’s

Ongoing to where you are being navigated to be,

Just slow down, assess yourself, and proceed onward:-

 

IN ORDER TO GO, YOU HAVE YOU STOP

IN ORDER TO GO, YOU HAVE TO STOP

Listen, understand, and be aware:
In order to go, you have to stop
Procrastinating and wallowing 
In abject apathy:-

You've got to stop saying to yourself,
“I can’t deal with this BS anymore”:
 The shackling of you, not going:-
Yes, in order for you to go, you have to stop;
You have to stop putting off today, what is
Necessary for tomorrow to become
A wishful, blessed today:-

Listen, understand, and be aware:
Yellow-thoughts, prepare you
To get ready to stop and 
Prepare to reflect on
The green light
Where God
Is sending you:-
Remember, heat comes
With the light of wisdom’s fire:-
Thus, it’s time to stop just sitting there,
And get going where God has fired you up to be!

While there may often be blinking yellow lights,
Signaling a time to slow down and assess the route’s
Ongoing to where you are being navigated to be,
Just slow down, assess yourself, and proceed onward:-
