Best Lifestyle Poems

Basketball
It's not a sport
It's a lifestyle
No one understands
What it means to play it
Not for the money
Not for the fame
But the love for the game
Basketball
Not a sport
It's a lifestyle...

LIFESTYLE BALANCE

Apples, oranges and banana's to,
Strawberries are so delicious,
And are very good for you.
Lettuce, tomatoes, cucumber and some celery,
Make tasty salad dishes for you and me.
Potatoes, carrotts, mushrooms and peas,
A very healthy casserole,
I'll have some, "Yes, please!"
Vitamins are good for your bones, hair and skin,

A balanced diet
Is what is planned
Which invariably
Means I understand
Something healthy
Something bland

A healthy lifestyle
Is what is planned
So a balanced diet
If I might expand
Does not involve
A pie in each hand...

legs churning
lungs burning 
feet heavy
heartbeat unsteady 

another mile to go 
toughness time to show 
now or never go for the glory 
thats the story 

late night hours 
no fear, never cowers
shifting gears
to the crowd's cheer's 

given up many an indulgence 
to be an athlete of...

Living A Lifestyle That the Bible Forbids…

I know of someone living a lifestyle that the Bible forbids.
He told me; “how dare anyone tell me how I should live!”

He added; “what I do is no one else’s business but my own.”
“No one can ever tell me...

Once there was a royal man called Peter Royle
Who professed “positive lifestyle” key for “the royal” 
“Because your lifestyle
Becomes your destiny”
Bloody it’s great to be “filthy modern” than “the royal”!...

My Li(f)estyle

If  Yudhisthira* can have Drona* killed with a lie,
Can I not, a small guy, follow the path I desire.

With small lies it was a quick and easy try,
	    out of the mess I saw myself fly.
When I got away with...

Five lines, that's it, that's all I can write
My attention span has flewed the coop, taken flight
Age most likely's a factor
Think I'll become a Hollywood actor
To sustain my flamboyant lifestyle every night

In a tropical place, the climate
becomes a way of being.
Fruits and flowers on shirts and dresses,
breakfasts of bananas,
pineapple flavored passions of
afternoon, pathways to the moon on
evening seas, coconut-milk tipped waves at dawn,
palms tilting horizons and gulls gliding
the edge of time. 

Yet, where I live does...

In life…
Whether you remain as plain toast,
Or into a soldier you are cut,
Whether you are covered in marmalade,
Or dipped into yolk from an egg cup,
In life there’s one main rule, should you fall…
Stay butter side up!...

Drum beats inside black bare hairy chests
Tradition hidden in treasure chests
Chess played on mother earth , sounds like home
Home grown sounds ringing throughout the neighborhood
Stomachs kneeling and praying for food
Fathers  crossing boarder lines and going for good
Living life behind the calabash
Brothers behind bars
Mother's beauty...

But, what if this was the last time I cried,
Don't want to be hidden behind lying scrys.
The world forgotten on their prying device,
Humanity alone algorithmic thrice.

Heaven on you shoulder beckons you home,
Mirror-sucking...
