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.
