Ancient wisdom,
Gives modern heroes,
What if not house nor ship?
Written by: Vaquero Waddie

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth
when you're chomping at the bit
the Withers of a horse is used
to measure height
Straight from the horse's mouth
believe what he say's
don't fail to wear your Halter
in your certain disipline
find yourself a true lover
one you call your freind
Backing the wrong horse
will have ya'll airing out ya'll's lungs
I could have told you she didn't
want all that kissy stuff
tire of you before
it was over
cause she plumb had enough
a great relationship
has it all
walk trot and cantar
slow when you need it slow
fast when it needs ah-cantar
you'll know when it's right
a smooth steady pace
I reckon all things like this
it the same all over the place
We lived many times, like days and nights, the time continued on.
We lived in many places, we bloomed like the flowers and trees, we grew and achieved.
We drank from springs, we laughed, we cried, we sang, we moved like the light bright, then dark, marking our marks.
We lived in love, we lived in him, we lived with all he created and we learned from our sins.
We let the storms carry away the ugly, the damaged, the deceivers, and all the ones that caused us damage.
We lived many times, we journeyed through time looking at all the stars, smiling at the moon with its shine.
We walked up higher in the clouds and tried to get a look at heavens high.
We dreamed each seasons, and worked toward marking this journey better each time.
Lifting prayers to God, today and always.
I’m not your typical invitation
Please apprise me of your inclination
Don’t you dare pretend
Or else I’ll apprehend
You! ~ and hang you by your subluxation
Library
Off to bury
Minds, spending time
Reading, soaring to imaginative levels
Harvesting curious ideas, challenging the devil
Experiencing many worlds, action always in a swirl
Around their setting, where the conflict can be upsetting
But when, the story comes to an end, happiness wins over the sin
If not in a hurry, destiny, visit the library, where the imagination will come alive, and cry
A good book is the way, to carry a day, under the sky blue, enjoying fantasies that are cool
Fail is to not pass, to not reach the needed spot, to not get the grade you needed.
Fail can be planned, planned by others that wanted you to fail.
Fail getting to your dreams, by not teaching you how to plan.
Fail by surrounding you in a bad environment, filled with negative and scary stuff.
Fail by having no mentors, no one that cares, making you lost in a place that will make you fail.
Fail is not always your fault, it can be caused from many issues.
Some want you to fail, to give away all your rights, to make you get a label that will make you have no future and make you fail at all you try.
Fail can be avoided if you plan well, if you stay on track and learn and plan well.
Remember not all want you to succeed they want you to fail, so they can reap all your rewards and good life.
So, pray, plan, love and learn, do not let anyone make you fail, if you fail do not give up, and stay far away from anyone that gives you negative stuff.
Lifting prayers to God, today and always.
Money is the mover, it makes us do things that can make us all shiver.
Money is like a power, it makes us glow with desire.
Money is like a culture, it has the power to move mountains and cause great things of oppression.
Money has taken all the free stuff, and turned it into a way to control us.
Money has turned our forests into cities, taking all the clean air and making us sick with lack of green cleaning natural living.
Money has a way, it has the power to make us all be afraid.
Money has taken most of the free growing apple trees and other trees, and made us pay for things that God gave us for free.
Money was only suppose to be for trading, not for oppression or for causing starvation.
So, plant the free growing food, make our spaces green with clean air, let the babies be born and stop all the killing, love, live, grow and pray, let the natural world heal and live life with love and care.
Lifting prayers to God, today and always.
Loves you have the power, the power to win, the power to create and live without sin.
Loves you are the one, the one that can change all of your life, life is a blessing, life is your gift so use it to all of its glory and carry it forward with all of your spirit.
Loves if you fall, do not give up, remember falling is part of learning, so get up and try again.
Loves life will be hard, it may be to easy, it may be boring, it may leave you in shock, but remember you have choices so learn, give, love, forgive and move forward.
Love I wish you well on your journey through this life, may all of your days be bright with light and blessings.
Lifting prayers to God, today and always.
Turn the page, start again, maybe the next page will be the winning end.
Life is like a book, it has many pages, many chapters, each one is like a season, it leaves its impression.
Turn the page, and smile again, do not feel sad if the last page made you sad, look ahead and smile again, for each page will make you grin.
Life can make us happy, it can make us sad, but we can turn the page and start again.
Sometimes in life, we need to keep going, keep on moving forward, life is like reading a book with many pages.
Do not give up, keep learning and growing, if you hit a bad page in your book of life, just turn the page and move forward.
Lifting prayers to God, today and always.
We often try to retrofit
The remnants of a bridge that burned
In fires that we never lit
With scaffolding of lessons learned
But if we are the only one
To put in work to reattach
We may find — when work is done —
The arsonist still holds that match

Take your house, your life, your history, your everything.
Yes, they want to take everything, they have no love, no empathy.
They want your all, your blood, your land, your all.
They did not come to help, they came to take and take, until you are done.
Take is the way they take your life, your job, your future, your everything.
They even take your descendants by teaching them not to produce, or others ways not known.
Fill your life with all of you, make children and teach them to be you, the real commodity is love, pass it forward and move with all your love.
For taking is something we were taught from God, he told us not everyone will love us and want us to be well.
For even heaven has exclusive people, not all will make it through heaven's gate.
Thank you God, today and always, prayers and thanks for all the love.

To solve the conflicts & avoid aggravations.
