Inner Child
You're never too old
to be young
at heart
even Freud was Jung
from the very start
altho' childbirth
is a labour of love
it's all in the swing
of things
and to about-face
child discipline
is strictly a case
of heir conditioning

ANALYSING
We don't know where we're going to
"Heaven or hell"
But we know where we're coming from
We know our roots, our very foundation
We don't know what the future holds for us
But we're not the substance of our circumstances.
We don't know how long
But we know it is certain
Because change occurs anytime
It's not very

No Discipline, No Freedom
You mine the gold, yet live in chains,
Trade your soul for shallow gains.
Your hunger rules, your mind is weak,
And freedom’s price you never seek.
You waste your fire chasing flesh,
While others build and carve the flesh.
Your leaders dance with foreign hands,
Selling off your sacred lands.
Discipline, black man, is the key—
Not guns, not gods, but mastery.
Unite, arise,

Don’t Miss Maybe Your Only Call: Jesus Is Here
Don’t wait for a trumpet when the breath in your lungs is already shouting.
Don’t wait for a sky to tear when your soul is already trembling.
The signs are not in the clouds, they’re in your compromise.
The delay is not His it’s yours.
You think you’ve got time?
You think your youth is a shield?
You gamble eternity on

The Look Is Fast As The Speed of Light
The Look Is Fast As The Speed of Light
I got the look!
Instantaneous…eyes snap sidewise faster than the speed of light…
Freeze tag pinned in place…
Duh da da duh… I'm in trouble, blown something…
No question… no room for doubt… Yet not really…
Dad's unique cue… falling in between traditional parenting cracks… Straddling between discipline and

The Voice of DISCIPLINE
It's quiet yet loud
It's righteous, not proud.
It's not weak but strong
It carries you the day-long
It's unpretentious; it just is.
It stoically says, "No fooling around; let's get to the 'Biz.'
There will be no applause
But it's okay because it's all about the cause
That solemn voice wakes you up early when you would rather press snooze.
Then it

Mothers of Invention, Deliver
Silence mourning, you who've borne no children;
mute derision and bear it no longer.
Beg not for mercy if you are barren
for barreness may prove you the stronger.
Your fruit lies in the way which you conquer
scorn - apparent un-productivity.
Another's offspring - your proclivity.
Teach them truths which bearers fail to mention;
teach self-discipline as necessity.
Deliver well, mothers

Discipline
Discipline is doing what you hate like you love it
Asking for more when you are past the point of quit
The dying of an old spirit to let a new one in
Forcing progression with a bittersweet grin
Just when it seems completely futile
When all you can feel seems abysmal
That is autophagy taking over
Out will come thyself leaner

The Manifestation
Where beauty nests in routine,
Where passion and order dance as equals,
Where every small choice
Creates the geometry of a life well-lived.

For the Life of Me
I swore I'd turn and back away,
Resist the call, from the lurking flay.
For the life of me, I could not allay the stay!
Before me lay a morsel, a mere tit bit.
A taste I took, another, another, but could not scoff remit,
For the life of me, I could not help it!
I told myself to turn away,

DISCIPLINE
If you ain't discipline
You will keep living wrong
Going astray
Thinking you're on your way
Going insane
Living in insanity
Believing in illusion,
Forgetting about reality.
In the pursuit of success
You can't substitute discipline
Right in your low,
Discipline is the elevator picking you up
It's the driver
Taking you safely to your destination easily.
You can't and will never
Conquer without discipline
Whenever it's time for

Someone always makes the rules
It is now legal to take THC
A drug now in gummies and Cannabis tea
But in Siskiyou County the Hmong growers move in
threaten the natives, who must lose so you win.

You can love him and leave him, have a sweet fling,
The government helps with the baby you bring,
We've got the highest percent
