Positive

1/22/16


Always negative
Is not a good way to live

Be positive
And think cognitive

Don't speak derogative
Because that is preposterous
Considering that there will always be contrast and opposites

Across areas full of rocks having traces of phosphorous
And nearby deposits with onyxes

As well as places that have ostriches, hippopatamus
And rhinoceros

Or wherever it may be in all honestness
Across the continents

One thing it seems we all have common is
That we are members of a group labeleled Hominin

If you make and break the promises
Accept and face the consequences

Always be yourself and have confidence
But not to the point of obnoxiousness

I got to work harder for opulence
Because I want to help friends, family and the populace

With or without pairs of moccasins
All along the grid
No longer want to have any of my pockets thin
Got to bulk it up, going at a speed faster than any known rockets did

There was some wrong I did
But I wanted to make it right, and did not want to fib

Make it to the very top and grin
Near hawks, and anything else that walks and lives
