A best friend is one of the purest forms of love
Not just one thing nah they be all of the above
That's the flower stepping out of the dirt
Because,
They ain't a real bestie if it's never been muddy
Water over dark or boiling emotions
I'm talking the one that's seen your tears ocean
As well as your smiles explosion
Inside jokes got us laughing outside the body
When we're together it's more than motion
That tag team be an undefeated potent
I'm talking poetic words spoken
I start the sentence you finish
Best friend language is never broken
Chemistry so good they think it's stolen
That's my partner in crime, call us
Bonnie and Clyde, we're forever in our prime
Our relationship could never have dime or time
Constraints, because when it's real
It's love and that's the definition of a sublime you can't rank
I'm talking a bond that's chemical
Call us ionic and iconic, ironic
But that's just God's sense of humor
So I know we're divine
So go ahead and try
To separate the Ne-on from our shine
p.s. you can't and that's not even the best part...
"Nothing is Impossible -the word itself says I'm possible
Quote by Audrey Hepburn
I have faith in me
Faith to live a good life
Faith to be a good person
Faith to love my family and friends
Faith to believe in myself
Faith that the majority is good
Faith that the future is positive
Faith that our world will survive
Faith that the sun will rise tomorrow
Faith that good will prevail over evil
Faith to believe in all of the above
“Because I have Faith in me
anything is possible"
Each day carries new hope and new opportunities
I have learned to keep my eyes open for chances
to recognize special moments, demonstrate optimism, and
spread kindness in a world that needs all of the above
From the e u..For denying the reality of free
Speech..The benifice of free speech, and not encouraging 'free speech' although their existence, and purported mission is
To maintain, and project free-speech, also as a
Safety valve, for European citizens and
A sign of commitment, and reassurance
To the wider worlds equlibrium, as a result.'
The current failure, to be an effective broker of all of the above values..Leads me
To request the (paltry two billion) that I may redress the balance.'
The shuttlecock's not got a feather
my balls have lost their tether
yo-yo and hula hoop have gone for a loop
chasing rainbow's become a boring chore
in any kind of weather
and me I fling and fly frisbees no more
as now there's come the day
when games and music I can't play
the fiddle has a broken bow
out of wind such instruments
I know not how to blow
the guitar has no strings attached
the ukulele its self-same match
my drums I don't bang or bash
cymbals won't ride or crash
yet measure for measure
I treasure and love
the previously provided pleasure
by all of the above
I am all the people who came before me And I am all the people who will come after me
This is an ode to all of our ancestors Just because we don't all share the same blood Does not not mean that we are not one
To me inheritance Isn't just about family But communal experiences
I inherited my voice From those who were silenced but not quiet
I inherited my purpose From those who didn't get justice
I inherited my essence From ghosts Of our ancestors
I inherited the power of love A force stronger than the hatred They shoved down our throats
I inherited the strength From those who dared to go against the system
What I honour is every black life who fought, spoke and died for us And it would be a dishonour to keep quiet and not speak up
And to them I'm very thankful
And my children will inherit All of the above
An ode to our ancestors
Call it presence
Solidly empty
Infinite time and space
No-movement moving
And none of the above..
But unmistakably present
As all of the above..
Call it presence...
Being happy, being love, being peaceful and
courage's being all of the above
Being beautiful, being bold stay focus and
let your story be told
Being you is the goal.

There are twelve Zodiac in Chinese Fung Shiu.
Rat, Ox, Tiger, Hare, Dragon and Snake
Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Boar.
There were terms "Tam hop, Tu s/xung.
Meaning three for, four against.
Best matches are in the following strict order.
Rat, Dragon and Monkey.
Ox, Snake and Rooster.
Tiger, Horse and Dog.
Worse against are
Rat vs Horse, Hare vs Rooster,
Dragon vs Dog, Ox vs Goat
Tiger vs Monkey, Snake vs Boar.
These rules apply to all partnership and life long relationships.
If one does not believe it, one will face the consequences,
Especially when comes to worse matches.
All of the above was my knowledge,
Before I converted to Christian.
Chinese culture soon will be forgotten,
Resulted by mix races marriages.
If you compare two things alike
Just like two mountains where you hike
Don't go immediately to peer
If bases are so far or near
First try to see their heights and slopes
The mound-shaped ones are all we hope
Next find their curves — are they the same?
The steeper ones aren't for the lame!
If all of the above are good
Then find the mean and not the mode
Compute the distances between
Two centers whilst their spreads ain't seen
Divide this distance by the "pooled"--
But in reality we're fooled--
A standard dev Welch did revise
With DF sum of both less twice

Smoke and Mirrors
Amid the flux
Of shimmering sound and vision
Someone is lying
Is it your eyes
Is it your ears
Is it those pulling the levers
And splicing the tapes
Or is it all of the above?
In the end
It’s not the lying that matters
Since that’s what senses
And people do
It’s the believing
That will get you in trouble
Every time.

The only place where there is no math of loss or gain,
The only thing which runs existence, which runs blood through veins.
While devoting to each other, you become nonexistent;
The only thing that's worth doing—that's for certain.
You stare at each other, you resonate with each other, you hold hands;
It's a mystery—you are mistaken if you think you understand.
What is keeping us together? What can encompass all of the above?
The thing is love; it should be love; it must be love; it's certainly love.
No matter how much time you have to help others,
No matter how many resources you have to help others,
No matter how many favors you call in to help others,
No matter how many ideas you can come up with to help others,
There is a harsh lesson we must all learn about others,
It is not often you can save them from themselves.
Not even if you are their Mothers or Fathers.
So, if you have done all of the above for others,
And they still are hiding under the covers,
There is nothing more to be done about the others,
No matter how much it bothers.

Translation
I Want Money,
so do all of the above, then YouTube will reward me monetarily.
My “Obscene” messages
Have been seen by all.
Eyes twitch at the blue and grey bubbles.
I am disgusted.
They are disgusted.
We are disgusted.
A pungent smell,
A sour taste.
My senses have been contaminated.
One through five.
All of the above.
Gone.
Just like that.
Just one glance at fun-filled,
Childish words,
And you’re sick.
I feel full of regret,
But regret nothing.
