What did I do to you in my past life to get what you give in this one
What crime did I commit to you to get you to love me like you do
Is there anything I can do to pay for my crimes or will this be my eternal punishment
You get what you give
If you give respect respect to others
You will get respect
If you mistreat you friends
You are going to lose them
And you will end up alone
And isolated
From the outside world
If you make a promise to
Your friends you should keep it
If you break the promise
You will be letting your
Friends down
Joe lisa said, she wanted to forgive
and forget her pain.
I couldn't let her live,
she had to pay the price for trying.
She was living on the edge,
she never knew the floor was caving in.
You get what you give,
when every road is a past mistake.
They will never let you live,
when dying is all that they ever did.
Just spinning on the edge,
spinning on the edge of a life and death
But you learn to forgive,
when you're spinning on the edge of your life and death.
Be careful what you wish for me...
When you're wishing for my downfall
You're already down below me
Believe it or not, but you will surely be
I've Never lost to any opposition
Back to sender my shield
Thanks to my guidance and protectors for steadily giving me a remedy and medicine.
What do you do with others downfall ?
I pray you experience
Whatever you're wishing for others
If offensive or keeps you stagnant
You're crazy for making others feel lazy
You can't wish others bad and be good
You must get what you give
Back to sender my remedy and medicine.
Wish me good, good be your portion
Wish me bad, bad be your portion
I'm steadily reciprocating accordingly
You can't create chaos, then enjoy peace
I pray you don't get away with
Whatever harm you do or wish on others
Back to sender my remedy and medicine.
Seize the day - for it is yours
To make the most and live.
Open your mind and its doors...
You get what you give.
Regardless of your situation
And its circumstances...
Unemployed or occupation?
Both possess their chances.
From the moment you awaken
And arise from sleep,
The day is there to be taken...
For you to sow and reap.
As if a garden bed - each seed
A choice or a decision...
Planted with their need to feed
Under your supervision.
Whether bright and full of sunshine
Or weather wet with rain...
Hot or cold? Either is fine
To keep free from refrain.
Seconds, minutes, every hour...
Time for you to use
And utilise in your devour
However you choose.
If you feel you cannot seize
The day, then take this hint...
Your next is sure to come of ease
Pre-planned in blueprint.
Map your times of day in sections...
Allocate each one
With its own set of directions...
Checking off when done.
From its sunrise to sunset,
Seize the day with capture...
Even if it is to yet
Imply a sense of rapture.
Time of which you cannot borrow...
Life is short and we
Are all not promised tomorrow...
There is no guarantee.
Life is a mirror
You get what you give
What's held inside
It's what you feel
What's on your mind
It's what you dream
What you believe
It's the mirror of life
It's poetry
I
It is said ‘Harm none do what you will.’
Get what you give should be expected;
Then why do some become parasites
wearing down warm welcome mats?
How are they able to sleep at night
making so cringey a decision?
Loyalty, kindness, and a moral compass
should not be a trailblazer’s feat;
A smile morphs into manipulation,
would you like that done to you?
It doesn’t take religion to see
the benefits of human decency.
Tap, take, and leave the well dry
is not how you should treat a person;
No matter how this trend is escalating
put bluntly it’s a form of abuse;
Loyalty, kindness, and a moral compass
should not be a trailblazer’s feat;
Trailblazer’s feet remain inflamed
setting a fire where there was none;
Innate desire to pay blessings forward
that behavior should be the norm;
Basic practice includes gold conduct,
we all are capable of being honest;
Loyalty, kindness,and a moral compass
should not be a trailblazer’s feat.
I see how she is going to be.
Another repetition of our history.
The drama with sister Roni,
Could happen to anybody.
When you call me on the phone,
My undivided attention is shown.
I take an interest in your day,
I am here for you come what may.
Send me a text, I said,
With disregard, she went to bed instead.
you fail to get back to me, not occasionally,
But ten times three.
You get what you give in this relationship,
I’m done with the courtship.
If you have not the time to answer me,
This relationship is a bust, I do decree.
I've seen how mean
You treat others.
You're well known for stepping
On the necks of those
You deem beneath you.
You've conveniently forgotten
Laughing
Over many a misfortune,
Mine included.
So legendary is
Your cruel nature
And peacock-like arrogance.
You carry a baffling air
Of invincibility.
You think yourself
Infallible; better than the rest.
Or are you? Now I watch you
Slip deservedly
On a banana peel of poetic justice
With laughter
In my eyes. You hear folks
You've trampled upon clap,
And you don't like that?
Well, what did you expect?
I hate to admit
I feel no guilt or pity
For you and your troubles
As you've taught all and sundry
One true thing;
You get what you give.

Goes around, Comes around
==================
What you do to others good or bad,
Someday the same will unfold, unto you.
When you give respect, you get respect,
If you offend someone, expect retribution.
If you let your light shine for others,
It will also light your way tremendously.
The evils you did, and the lies you spoke,
Will visit you one day and knock at your door.
What we plant, grow around us,
Man will reap what he sows.
Our deeds have boomerang effect,
The thoughts and actions sent out will come back.
You can’t run away from evil and good deeds,
The universe is based on a fair exchange.
You will only get what you give others,
Always be good to everyone.
The good fortune and happiness you give others,
Reflect back in magnanimous way in your life.
Problems or successes, are results of our own actions,
Therefore do good things , good things will happen.
Life is an echo, It always gets back to you,
Learn to see good in every person,
Treat others as you wish to be treated,
It will make you to reap the most reward in all areas of life.

Tears of pain. Enemies at the gate.
Stay in your lane. People love to hate.
Sometimes it can be worth the wait.
Just make sure you travel straight.
Even at your best, It can still go wrong.
Always prepare yourself to stay strong.
Before too long, the wrong will be gone.
If it's worth it, hold on.
If not then move along, that is not where you belong.
Words left unsaid. Will stay in your head.
Focus on what lies ahead. Do the best you can instead.
What's done is done. There's nothing you can do.
Don't let obstacles get the best of you.
Be true, and make sure to follow through.
Stop screwing up, if you know what's best.
Never settle for anything less.
Get all you want out of life, and forget the rest.
If you don't make a change.
Everything will remain the same.
Get rid of the guilt and shame.
Get out of the game!
Life is what you make of it. You get what you give,
Just don't fake it to make it.
I turned to my wife
With desire in my eyes
And my loins a little disjointed
Forestalling sin,
She asked with no grin,
¨Kind sir, do you have an appointment?¨
You'll need to make an appointment
If you wanna have a shot at love
I was having a chat
With a sweet bureaucrat
Whose curves nature had appointed
The moment seemed right
When up came the red light
And a billboard reading, ¨Make your appointment¨
In the future, you'll need an appointment
For love, for kindness, for care
Some justice of the peace
Will preside your release
Or decide on your fate of despair
In time we'll be damned
To a hostile land
Ruled by gods we ourselves anointed
Hey, you get what you give
So don't ---- where you live --
Or at least not without an appointment.
The energy you put out
Is what you get in return
Although this is a lesson
Some will never learn
There are those who
Murder, steal and lie
Their lives are chaotic
And they’re left wondering why.
Some are getting in trouble
Always looking and trying
Then defying authority,
getting shot and dying
Loved ones left behind
Heartbroken and crying
Their stories being twisted
By the media’s lying
When all it would take
Is to be reasonable and collective
Rather than being resistant
Angry, and selective
When faced with authority
Just be calm and compliant
Rather than being mad,
Aggressive and defiant
When you are living a life
Full of love and hope
It makes life better
much easier to cope
With what life throws at you
No matter what it may be
With each challenge in life
the bigger picture you'll see
Do your actions support
The life that you truly want to live?
Are you emitting the energy
That you really want to give?
The energy you bring in
Is the energy you put out
Getting what you give
Its what life is all about
(own title: Get What You give)
You need me
I am well aware of that
You love me
and in your own way, you show me that
but your way is not necessarily my way
If you want the real me
don't condescend to me
and don't put down in me
the things that define me
Accept my flaws
Don't try to tell me how I NEED to be
Accept me for who I am . . .
as I do you
Hold me in the night
Don't make me ask for that
If you see me crying. . . open your eyes
and realize why-
then hold me even tighter
If you do these things,
you'll then get back from me
a love that is real.
Dec. 2, 2019 Inspired by John Hamilton's Pale Shelter Contest
You get what you give
Now I'm simply returning the favor
Of all the deception
You so graciously delivered
Around you I only smile
Despite the insults that you guile
If you wanted to be happy you could too
But you just can't stop the things you do
Call me heartless or even ruthless
My sympathy for you remains fruitless
You dug this grave and I can only hope
It's comfortable enough for you
