Let's see... how do I feel today
Pretty much the same as yesterday except one day older
Guess that's the least anyone can expect
Wonder if an enormous amount of money just plopped in my lap
Would that make any kind of a significant difference
Sure would like to give that a shot
Perhaps I'll buy a ticket for the next ten million dollar lotto
To know how it feels when they call up and say
“You are our grand prize winner!
After the government grabs it's share
We will be sending you a cheque for $136.50!
As part of the rules of the contest
You'll be required to make a televised statement
Excitably explaining how this win has changed your life!”
WOWSERS! I'm underwhelmed
Been wearing these same old holey beat up jeans
For nigh onto ten years now
You won't believe how much this means to me...
Don't know how I'll ever begin to thank you!
I apologise if this sounds a bit cynical
But where did the other $9,999,863.50 go
This reply came back...
“Sorry this question does not compute!”
(I'm exaggerating a wee bit, of course!)
I tried to be the one who would comfort you when you were crying
I tried to be the one that was there for you when everyone was dying
I tried to be the one to give a helping hand whenever you could not reach
I tried to be the one to take you to church and listen to the pastors preach
I tried to be the one to take your broken heart and mend it
No matter the amount of money, on you I'd rather spend it
I tried to be your support system, the one you could always lean on
But for some reason, on your mind, I've never been on
I tried to be the friend , the father and mother that you never had
Because you've been through it all and I know it hurts so bad
I tried to be the one who always helped you get back on your feet
And now you look at my number in your phone and pressed delete
For all the things I've done for you I ask for nothing in return
I just hope that in time you'll find the peace that you deserve
The story starts last year
I had you as my friend
I had it all, you want me more
I trusted you again
You came along wearing angel’s smile
Was thrilled back then
You took me faster and
Grabbed the game of sabotage
I never saw it flashing
Would not so expected it
I underestimated who I was
troubling with
I had to know that she was
player played me like a numb
Now every story made feel like
I’m the worst and dumb
She’s better actress
Wearing a mask
She’s my tragedy, no!
She’s better known telling things
that can cause to madness
So she’s going to find
Cleaning her name when stains on
I won’t play with games
with you again
She should bear in mind, better bear in mind
There is nothing trust left
Unfriending you right now
She looks my life like shining gold
She needed me again
I gave it all, she wanted more
Find it’s so overrate
I think her presence bit so scary
and it’s troubling
She thinks I’m smart for I can
write deep thoughts from my mind
Sophisticated thoughts are things
that you want to know
But pushing people down is thing
that you want to do
Oh did they tell you that you’re
best in making world fool?
No amount of money can stepped
to your ill dignity
She’s better actress
Wearing a mask
She’s my tragedy, no!
She’s better known telling things
that can cause to madness
So she’s going to find
Cleaning her name when stains on
I won’t play with games
with you again
She should bear in mind, better bear in mind
There is nothing trust left
Unfriending you right now
It is easy for me to look beyond myself in Canada,
I do not have to go to a third world country;
or very far, I just need to look in Northern Ontario,
to the First Nation reserves to see horrible conditions.
Yet, although these people have no access to water,
overcrowded homes, unemployment, high food costs;
limited health care and are poor beyond poverty,
they have something within that there is no price for.
They have courage, you can see it in their eyes,
and they have forgiveness for all that has been done;
there are lessons to be learned from these people,
that no amount of money could ever buy.
They have strength of character, respect and love,
of their community, belief in the Grandfather Spirits;
they care for their old, do the best for their children,
and can smile though they have nothing of value.
But I think they have a lot of value . . .

If by chance I could relive my life
I will make more mistakes
will relax and be more sillier
Prasing every second of my life
than what has been so far in this journey of mine
I would have tolerated more,
took more chances and face challenges
Would have travel the world
and finally, yes, spent more time with my family
Maybe eating more ice cream and avoiding unnecessary drama
yes! focusing on real troubles
Then having fewer imaginary ones
If only I could do it again
I will travel lighter and go to more dances
perhaps spending time with nature God's Creation
picking more daisies
You know this life is a mystery
As we tend to grow old,
we have all our mistakes
unfolding in front of our own eyes like a movie
and we are just left with a phrase >
I believe that God didn't create us
to merely achieve name, fame, and power
For I want to believe there is something deeper
Our standard of life will measure our lives
Never of living conditions
We are not here to just entertain ourselves
with social media and doing robotic routines
To scroll up and down like a Robot
feeding our mind junk food,
rotting these marvelous brains the creator gave us.
We literally invented the most powerful tool
on the face of the earth,
to spread hatred on twitter and Instagram
literally building the most advanced computer known to man
and using it only to watch YouTube pranks
So let's change that
and make it our mission to walk the talk
Because there is a difference between a life well achieved
then a life fill with regrets
Remember, it doesn't matter,
the amount of money you stored
for as a matter of fact,
you are not taking it with you on the other side
So live your life to be happy
to have no regrets and finally to serve God your Creator
There once came a moment in my life
When I came to realize the reason why I took birth
I was walking down the road after a long day
And an elderly woman came close to me and these words did say
Pray, could you be kind and give me some money
My children and myself are all hungry
We have been left to ourselves, my husband ran off with another
And I'm trying to get a job, but so far, I've had not any offer
I took pity on her and handed her a two hundred rupee note
Hoping that, there would soon come to her, a change of fate
I then walked on home and tended to my own woes
Soon, I completely forgot about this woman and her pitiful cause
But then, came to me, around six months later, an elegantly dressed woman
She walked over and greeted me with the warmth of the sun
Thank you she said, thank you so much for your generosity
Thanks to you, I fed myself, I fed my children and even tried a chance at the lottery
Why, would you believe it
My ticket number won the jackpot
I won a huge amount of money, too much for myself and my kids
I bought a house and could offer my children more than I ever imagined
Now, I have even set up a home
For those, who, like I was once, had no luck next to their name
We had a nice chat, then she left and I took a decision
That I would help those in need more often
I felt good about my action
It gave me a sort of liberation
Why, I had found my aim, my meaning
Soon, the lady in her home and her carers was I helping!
Yes, helping people reach for their stars
Does give me unending joys
Helping people cross the well set borders
Does give me solace and comforting shudders
Now, I do be an active member of my society
Yes, now I do make a must to tend to those drowning in the waters of poverty!
Hoping they shall someday turn into Kings and Queens as well
For such does show that life does not be always so cruel!
For Contest Something Seemingly Insignificant and Unexpected Changed My Life
Written on June 24 2016
It has been drawn into attention that you constantly mention my faults. Point one at me and three you'll see point back at the enemy. You're no longer a friend to me; woman! My mind is like an anus. I'm in need of an enema; flushed from your hatred and cleared from your betrayals. I need a clean slate to scratch new records to turn tables. My head is stuck into a kink; of sorts. To name a few things, my shoulders have shrugged often; leaving my neck at your mercy; woman! Torture is my eternal chamber when I'm in your grasp. A bubble from my nostril; water fills my lungs. A hand pressed firmly atop of my face as the hot and cold water runs.
An illusion of the mind... Good one; woman! A falsehood created by manipulation of my own being. A battle with one’s own self righteousness as another holds the strings; the puppeteer is almighty; believes only in herself. She will cut your neck and wrap the strings around your throat. Left for brain dead and mentally broken; but I… (Yes! Me) I still want to help you. I care about you…; woman! For some unknown force compels me so. I can't place the blame because the blame hasn't a place; you know. It leads back to me. You control me because I let you; woman! You lie to me because I let you convince me; woman! You control me…; woman! But I (yes me!); I love you; woman! I love everything about you, even though you make me feel like **** and only care about yourself. You're an infectious disease which effects mental health. I love you more than I love myself. Woman…; lying, cheating, manipulating…; woman! But wait; just you wait a minute… man! (Minute man) I've heard that not all women are like you. I know its true (yes! Me) I really, really do! I met a few. They care about people and don't feel entitled to things that they haven't personally earned. (And-Even) Offer respect and help when a man does his part. Work is an obligation to provide. Which should be rewarded; not discarded as a lack of parenting that cannot be replaced with any amount of money; but give me a break; woman! We all must survive. I love those kids and want to have them in my life and I want to be part of the decision making…; woman! I hear there are many, many women would respect this. You are who you are; women! Please let me be who I am... There's a rumor floating around that not all women are like you… WOMAN!
2014
There was a man who owed a great debt and he owed it to the king
The fear of prison he'd sweat and that being the best possible thing
So he was now called before but the King dismissed all of his debt
He was in debt no more as back to his own home he had now set
In going on upon his way he seen someone who once did borrow
And what he did say just added to this man's already great sorrow
Even though his debt was forgave he demanded that this man pay
This little debt he would not wave much to the others around dismay
So he sent the poor man to prison until this amount of money was paid
As the others, to the King did they run telling of the decision he made
The King, not happy to say the least and called him back to His Throne
Our deal has now ceased because of the forgiveness you haven't shone
Forgiven a debt that was so great but unable to forget about a few cents
Don't let it be your own fate because the debt Jesus forgave was immense
Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those that's the prayer I repeat
A beautiful Light forgiveness shows and on the inside it feels pretty neat
Matthew 6:12
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors
Everyone attempts to put a price on everything.
From jobs, to going on vacation.
Fluctuating gas prices, the necessities we can't live without. The cost of everything is going up.
There really isn't too much that people haven't put a stature to the almighty dollar which constantly diminishes everyday.
We barely have enough time as it is without hustling trying to make time for the things that we truly care about and seem to neglect, having to constantly look at the clock.
It robs us of the sincerity that follows.
A genuine smile that is very courteous but is also rushed at the same time.
Somehow we've come to the idea that we need a certain amount of money to truly enjoy ourselves.
Big businesses know this very well.
They expect us to cling on to the vast images that we see flashed in front of us in subliminal advertisement.
Via television, social media, or word of mouth without realizing that too much time has already passed.
About the only thing we truly take for granted are the moments that we finally remember to breathe and cherish the very same moments we remember to smile.
Forgetting who we are in the process of trying to make ends meet while maintaining the perception if it's ever enough.
If at all possible, today I want you to press pause on the things that make you smile
And live in that moment for as long as possible.
As it doesn't cost a thing to smile, it doesn't cost a thing to greet someone with a genuine embrace.
It doesn't cost a thing to sit back and breathe for a second or two.
Set a limit to how much you give of yourself.
Because those whom take, will only continue to take
Laughter our bodies natural medicine
A wondrous gift we humans possess
Helps alleviate stifled woes
Releases life’s stress
Laughing relaxes your whole being
Life’s worries put temporarily aside
Therapy for heart and soul
That no amount of money can buy
Laughter unites us together
Breaks down our barriers and fears
It’s spontaneous , playful and infectious
Judgements and differences disappear
Spirits uplifted with merriment
Throughout laughter time
Leaving all that negativity
Tension and troubles behind
Hearty, explosive, raucous laughter
Purest medicine for the human soul
Laugh long, hard and loud
Free inhibitions , abandon a little self control!
Surround yourself with positive people
Have a truly hearty laugh
Loosen up and let your hair down ( if you have it!!)
Just enjoy a belly laugh and a half!!!
