Missing out
in a world of make believe
of people hooked on games
and scenarios seen on screens
people have become expendable
everyone is now jaded
content in their isolation
closing in onto themselves
with a growing distaste for socializing
we've become cynical and antisocial
friendship no longer a commodity
we smile and nod without oversharing
not letting anyone into our bubble
time is a factor we refuse to

To Invest In the Future
To invest in the future,
One needs to believe there is a future,
Be diligent when doing due diligence,
Invest only with people who have a conscience,
Employ extra people to ensure few are tempted,
So, the coffers are not emptied.
Of course, these precautions might still not be enough,
If one does not think the return on their investment is enough,
To

Invest In Someone Who Is Safe To Love
Invest in someone who is safe to love
Get the toxic pressure off from your heart
You don’t need that tragic weight of lies
Guard your heart and
Invest in someone who is safe to love
As an individual, you don’t need to be shoved around
Symbolic postures proceeding in time
Calculated adventures peppered in the silence of the heart
The banner of

Invest In Your Harvest
Reaping is reserved for the planters.
The finding is reserved for the searchers.
How one opens the vault to overflowing abundance and resources is to ask for it.
With a positive mental attitude rooted in faith, you have already reserved it.
Choose to be happy, Now!
Put on a smile and smooth out your brow.
Everyday life presents a

The Biggest Sale For My Company
I was working for this South African company,
For its Lesotho registered segment.
I wasn't of the long serving ones
But a relative new comer.
Here we were in this industry:
Sales for an insurance company.
I had something of a different style
To how things were generally done.
Small premiums with government stop order
Were highly valued and rated.
They had fewer chances of

A Heavy Heart
A heavy heart
Makes for a new start
Life is finite
Time to be contrite
Apologies for recommending life
Insurance brings less strife
Farewell my friends, good
Others will save and invest for your brood

Invest To Save the Planet
The fires rage thought out the bush
yet still we do not listen
The ozone layers depleted
rising heat in play
Teach the people saving
teach a better way
create a solar planet
clean air now everyday
Venice it is sinking the
ice caps melt away
the ocean, it is rising
some Islands sink away
Electric cars for driving
if rich men buy them new

Trust

Invest in love
For a real friend may give his life for you
As our Lord has done for us on the cross
That fateful day
When he died
For our

The Dollars You Invest
Why does raising kids today take a ton of money?
Don't laugh -- Parents don't find it very funny
Yeah, sure, I know: There are art lessons, music lessons
Swimming lessons, tennis lessons, chess lessons, ballet
Lessons, piano lessons, guitar lessons, violin lessons and more
And once your kids hit college, you're out a

Invest In Me
I once had an idea
Thought completely off the wall
Replacing the piggy bank
I would have myself a jar
And instead of silver coins
I would deposit tokens
Coded different colours
For every conscious effort
A bright visual reward
An investment in my health
Or maybe more in kindness
Or just any goal I’d set
Couple years since my first thought
Brainchild still sounds rather good
Time is

Invest Shoppe
Feel that sure surge
Where lot prompts urge
Feel in a glimpse
How fancy dreams
Feel vivid flow
What fortune grows
Feel in fond ease
A grand fond peace
Feel that pure grace
That fills this space
Feel that fine core
Of feeling more
Feel how gain feels
As plenty thrills
Feel breezy lift
Of timely gifts
Feel in your heart
How bounty starts
Feel more and more
Soul’s ample stores
