My home state loses a football field, 
Of coastal land each day of the year.
I’m no cheerleader about this,
It fills my heart with fear.

I wish I had funds to donate to the cause.
Maybe if I expressed my thoughts of the situation,
It would cause others to...

Stay humble, my friend for trouble lasts for a while.
This life horrors us with many tests and trials.
Alone you may think you are, but don't fret.
Your enemies will soon be your footstool.

Honesty,courtesy, and prayer are are some components of humility.
Understanding yourself as well as others...

It is hard to get any help,
When every man is for himself.
It is hard to gain wealth,
Working for someone else.
It is impossible to cultivate,
When seeds don’t germinate.
It is hard to survive,
When you can’t realize,
That you have to pull up your bootstraps,
And don’t fall into any...

Teaching is not brain surgery,
But it is brain enhancing.
Teaching is not rocket science,
Unless you’re assigned to teach it.

The very shallowness of poverty swallows me,
Like a snake swallows a mouse.

Poorness,
It is the cause of my muscle's soreness,
Because my bones are too porous.

In salaries and work time and such,
Makes me wish that I was rich very much.

Eating,
Mayonnaise sandwiches,
Is not one of life's advantages.

Wealth,
Means a...

We are the salt of the earth,
But we're treated like scum.
We don't have wealth,
But we have enough heart to get some.
We often don't get what we want.
When we do, we often flaunt.
Because for so long fortune was a ghost,
It did haunt us with stuff that...

Others seem to have all of the answers
To the questions in your life.
Yet, still the significant others lives,
Are filled with mishaps.
Are they really trying to help you?
Well, perhaps they could be holding you back,
From approaching the finish line,
And all you have is one more lap.

People who have no backbone like jellyfish.
Unsurpassed, adapting to various environments like chameleons.
People of this caliber come more than one in a million.
Prancing and dancing graciously to the very, very, every, every
Every beat and singing to every command of the puppet master.
The popping and chopping...

Turns into tremendous change

A rose with no thorns,
Maybe a ram with no horns
Both are very young.
