My First Priority Is Me
If theres one thing i know 
That's set in stone
Is that you can't be
Everything
To everyone you know
So just be you
If their expectin more
It's time to let them go...

Priority Disorder
Keeping up with the Joneses
Tit for tat
Caught up in competition
"You got this? I'll get that"

Let me 1up you
Everything an attack
"Whatever you do,
I have to fight back"

Destroying ourselves
Breaking up our homes
Pride over love
Ending up alone

The things that define us
Are the things that we own
The the things...

Premium Member Matters of Global Priority
Man explores outer space
     with probes and rocket ships,
whilst here the human race
     ebbs from the headlong tips

of balance: wars, famine,
     waste, hunger, crime, disease, 
and his wild greed worsens
   ...

Premium Member Strategy Priority
Stricter measures by most families, have to be taken,
In essence with cycling, we might have to reckon,
We must most certainly cut down on our bacon.
To price hikes of food, medical costs and fuel awaken,
Don’t let tomorrow become a financial frustration,
Think of the future, don’t let...

Premium Member Make Love the Top Priority
If the fate of the world depended on you
Have you any idea what new thing you'd do
Make love a top priority?
Treat everyone morally?
Not a bad start, lotsa luck seeing it through...

Priority of Time
Time is rather made to consume your time
No matter how extended it must end.
All the time depends on importance
Must at all be construed as truth 
Clock by clock must wind.

Time has to be exacted with work done
It must be programmed
As it intertwines it can’t be...

My Priority
Disintegrated
Forsaken to number two
But then I met you,
Absolute best to my heart
Nudging me to be the one...

Premium Member Priority Time
Our days are planned to the minute
Careers, children... we finesse all of it
Last anniversary was surreptitious 
I find this troublesome and precarious

We keep gallivanting - acting nonchalant 
Time to acquiesce - it's not what I want
When we attempt to set time aside for us
Too much...

The Priority Standoff
Reality is a game and dreams like shadows,
Stress the mind to select and choose priorities,
Between friends non exist in fun and frolic,
Winning became a criterion of dashed hope.

Selfless love lost in the story line fables,
Monotony prevails and we draw to fence,
Who rules the roost and...

A Priority Fulfilled
I find myself smiling
Must be enjoying this!
In God's perfect timing
It's possible to feel bliss
Awoken to His love
Choose not to think in apathy
Negativity, nor life in a glove
Your faith-muscles atrophy!...

Strangers
Dear Stranger,

I am not sure what you see in her
But she seems to have taken your breath away
Captivated all your senses 
And robbed you of your self healing at the same time
She has become your focus, clouding your vision
I am just a fleeting thought, no...

Premium Member A honey baked life
Promised a honey baked life by Uncle Sam,
a V.A. loan, and a mini-van.
Three kids and a fenced yard.
It should be attainable to those who
worked so hard.
They served, they sacrificed as mother's wept,
came home to be forgotten to a government
that's inept..
Our unsung hero's who fought gallantly,...

Premium Member Thoughts About Time
I have no time; I can’t do it.
Let’s take a moment, take a sit,
Think about time for just a bit.
Relax for now, don’t throw a fit.

It’s not the time that holds us back,
And not the time that we most lack.
Maybe we don’t use our time...

To Whom Shall We Worship
Despite unrelenting love, life eternal, we, a nation, stray away.
We choose to keep our sinful burdens, hide our guilty face.
God should be our focus - through darkest night till breaking of day.

We try alone, in vain, to keep our demons at bay.
We struggle to follow...
