Substance Is My Life

Sage advice and self control Balanced living in heart and soul Shades of colours that bring to life Every aspect of this beautiful life Try to hurt me make me bleed But you cannot but you can't see Avarice means very little to me I live for love, light, compassion and peace You may look like you have perfect life But that doesn't appeal to me with all it's needs To simply be about show with little substance I know I want my life to mean a whole lot more than that Wearing brands and material crap Is not my style so you can have that back A deep understanding and knowledge of life Helping others in stress and strife Makes you shine bright enough Standing strong when times get tough Building character and resilience Helping others is magnificent Rather that just helping self Just to look better than everyone else I get more from life from helping those on their knees Than I do do when making money But maybe that's just me Yet I know that's not the case There are more I see Living this way but we go through life unseen Which is fine by me But I galls me when I see those who chase greed Plastered all over my TV screen It says so much about our societies.

Life at base has no inherent meaning...thus we are perfectly free to transmute the subjective spectacle we claim as reality...rather then seek to solidify what in essence shall always be fluid Always grasping at straws to prop up are personal narrative why not put others first going with the always interconnected big bang wow...what better way to celebrate Awesome how you not only see through the garbage cultures but open a line of discourse in an authentic way for others to see
