Modern Ways

Modern Ways People's modern ways may fool the innocent mind- you may find yourself trying to impress man’s "society" by communicating with some type of rap or by doing their doings. You will find yourself falling! When you fail to communicate with the world of the 90’s, Falling through your own self-made hole from feeling unequal for not being as- "Modernly stupid as them." I, myself tried hairdo's, fancy shoes, rap-attacks, funny shades, then I topped that off with trying to "walk pretty." Now, believing in God and being as poetic as I am, I’ll settle for butterflies, the fresh air after a rainfall, or just to see down in Dixie Land, a Black and White together, peacefully smiling. With these desires, I may not reach modern fortune or fame, or be called cool by someone wearing dark shades, or have in my back yard my own private plane. Since I've found God, I’m far beyond "Modern Ways." In Dedication to the late Luke Turner
