Prioritize Life

Prioritize Life

Negative affliction
Loves positive attention
Rub the genie in the bottle
Watch her soar full throttle
“You’ve got three wishes,” say positive attention
But negative affliction wants more
Like twenty-four
I cannot fulfill your wishes sweetie 
Until you humble yourself
And stop being greedy
You must treat others 
The way you want to be treated…
Take the magic carpet ride 
And prioritize life
Cause’ everything that sparkles on the outside
Isn’t as beautiful as to that of which glistens within 
Don’t you get the picture from positive attention?
Or are you blinded by false interpretations 
that aren’t even in existence
If that’s the case of all cases
Then count your blessings and talk to heaven 
Cause’ positive attention
Can’t stand negative affliction 
And lives are too short 
To be bothered by ignorance
