Take out the trash,
it's so rude to bash
someone who deeply cares,
showing you the way out;
you must listen to wisdom...
before you start rocking
that baby in your lap.
Kids who do horrible things
greet rage into their kingdom,
digging their own grave.
Hanging out late past one,
getting drunk on cheap wine
and come home shaking
is bad for a beauty queen.
Earn your crown,
keep your grace, get noticed
for your loveliness,
don't live out harmful fantasies;
there are many dreams to chase.
Daddy is on the way home,
he'll put you in a corner
to count the length of hours
without computer and phone:
deep silence and a tale of horror
to remind you of obedience.
It's the age to have lots of fun,
not to mess around with boys;
you must earn your crown,
every single rule applies:
never following the crowd,
make mom and dad proud.
Earn your crown, aspire to glory;
wasting life is not realizing dreams,
tomorrow can wait, write your story:
nothing rewards more than memories.
Learn earn return
Learn
Every great man was once a child
He was once nurtured and taken care by the parent and his community
He was thought in school by a teacher
He learn to speak and walk by his own people
Time to time days after days
He keep growing and keeps learning
Till he becomes a man
Earn
Every man has a process of growth
After our studies at school
All we do is work
All we are faced with is how much to earn
On this time of life there is no more going back
Some men earn so richly
Some men earn so little
So when you are bless out there remember where you started from
Don’t forget home
Return
After all we learn
After all we earn
Home call is always worth it values
No place like home brother
So show love to the place you started
Return to your root after labour
Reconnect with your love ones
Don’t let any things to cut you off your home
Remember every great man was once a child
So give back to the community who saw you through at young times some
Returns
Horn Haiku
we would take our turn
to find out how we will learn
ways which we can earn
Challenge is to write our
haiku which will rhyme.
I be dealing on the side
To make ends meet
So forgive me if I prefer to hide,
It's my end that I don't want to meet
Cause I've got many mouths to feed
And many faces looking at me
So that when I speak they lip read,
For what I say goes, life for them is up to me
So forgive me if I'm different
It's my choice of my life
I was always born different
That's why at my age I don't have a wife
Cause I've got responsibilities on me
My priority right now is family and myself
And I don't want to pile one more body on me
Cause they're days when it gets tough to take care of myself
But be grateful I still send money home
When you receive just know I'm alive
Sorry I'm not able to call home
It's cause I don't have a permanent place I live
I'm always on the move at times I'm the corner boy
So I have to be on the look out at all times
But since I've been good I'm the go to boy
So my product always gets sold out all times
One to earn
One to burn
Isn’t a secret
One to burn
One to earn is cigarette
Earn the love and keep it,
turn each impossible thought
into a believable fact;
earn it and be worthy of it.
Paint love in bright colors,
accept the joys it gives,
don't reject its boring times:
follow in the footsteps of lovers.
Earn the love and keep it,
strengthen it
with togetherness
and push it
in the right direction;
in wanting it,
you reinforce devotion.
Keeping it puts you into high gear,
avoiding it is a cause built on a lie;
and whichever side you turn to,
you dig deeper the hole left inside of you,
with bitterness, you'll say,
" I was the generous giver with the biggest heart,
now, I am the lonely one in search of myself.
Earn the love and keep it,
in bringing it upright
there's merit beyond thought;
now, I am the repentant
one who'll pay the high cost,
the lost one without worth.
Learning
The pain
What
Earning
The doctors
Pandemic crisis
Hospital overload
Unprecedented
Panic mode
Double shifts
No time for tears
No one signed up
For a suicide mission
Heroes collapsing
One after the other
Earning their wings
And our respect

Elected representatives
sure earn a bale of pay
Yet rarely do we hear back home
'bout one had something nice to say
If I earn two paisa
I'll buy bread with a single paisa
and by the other, I'll buy poems
because in my life
the poem is the best flower
the poem is the best fragrance
the poem is the best darling
the poem is the best friend
the poem is the best food of heart

Adam and Eve sneaked back to the Garden
Hoping to earn for their sin a pardon
Eve saw the damn snake
And began to quake
Snapped snake: "Out of this garden you're barred in."
Dirty money like an ice cube in parched hand hastily fades.

Proverbs 10:16 (NIV)
The wages of the righteous is life, but the earnings of the wicked are sin and death.
I get it
I finally understand
You did not feel like my first choice
And the problem is you weren't
But you should have been
I treated you like I have been treated before
I once felt like you
I didn't realize that until it was too late
That is how come I lost my best friend
I wasn't his first choice anymore and he wasn't the same
But maybe we can rebuild you and I
We can't fix what is broken
But we can make a new
Just give me a chance
And let me tell you this
You have made me better
Thank You
J-ust earn enough money,
O-r make both ends meet;
V-igorously use your hands,
E-ach job must be legal or
