Live Your Life To the Fullest

Everyone comes to a point 
Where they've had enough
Been through a 
Whole lot of stuff(lot of stuff)
Had enough minuses
Trying to stick to the plus
I've did more than most
Going to make it
Lets propose a toast
So what do you do
When the possibilities exhaust
Make the best of it
Find out your cost
No matter what you do
Live your life to the fullest
Its all up to you

Its your life
Get up and live it(live it)
Oh yea 
Make sure you make the right decisions 
In your life 
Live out your vision
It can be fun and so fulfilling (fulfilling)
Remember you can do this
Just live your life to the fullest

Everyone has a passion
Ohhhhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhh
Easy to lose sight 
With discrations (with distraction's)
Trying to make sure the world 
Is up to your  satisfactions 
So what am I trying to say
Be more than just a display (a display)
Go ahead and do all that you want
Don't let anyone ever say that you cannot
Build a legacy 
Dont be forgot 


Its your life
Get up and live it(live it)
Oh yea 
Make sure you make the right decisions 
In your life 
Live out your vision
It can be fun and so fulfilling (fulfilling)
Remember you can do this
Just live your life to the fullest

So what exactly will you do?
Focus on being
Someone other than you
Not realizing in your self
Is where your wealth
When I speak in wealth
Clearly I don't men money ??
I mean self worth honey
Continue to pursue 
All your dreams 
Dont give up no matter how hard it seems 
Go ahead and give it all you got
Aim to the highest reach the top 

Its your life
Get up and live it(live it)
Oh yea 
Make sure you make the right decisions 
In your life 
Live out your vision
It can be fun and so fulfilling (fulfilling)
Remember you can do this
Just live your life to the fullest

Chaga, Chaga

In the last four years I have had no seasonal allergies
Thanks to all of Chaga’s wonderful properties.
Then comes along spring of twenty seventeen
And I am back swallowing a bunch of antihistamine,
For I had stop consuming my magic potion.
Really, truly,  I had no notion,
Of all its pluses versus its minuses.
Now it comes too late for my poor sinuses.

Chaga, I hope it is not to late to reclaim your power 
So I may stop popping pills and get off all puffers.
I believe and trust that you will not let me suffer
So I might enjoy what this season as to offer,
Like the beautiful blossoms and blue skies
without having oozing and watery eyes. 
But in the meantime, family and friends, just stay polite
With each time I sneeze,  just say "Gesundheit"

Premium Member Looking To the 'Fore'

this (right!?) write is based on a bhuddist perspective of the "now" (quote:...
it is the being of an emptiness that enables a reality its manifestation)......
andt, the band 'u2's song "i've still not found what i'm looking for"....is the
fodder.
in the free verse the/a 'looking fore' is as a path ahead, between all common space-time logics (a bhuddist view)....pluses/minuses and all else somehow shift 'to one side' andt, new choices become obvious as if one watches a reality
movie in slow motion.
______________________________________________________________

i've climbed some high mountains...andt...
run....through some fields to be...

with 'a' you...andt only with 'a' you have i....
crawled and scaled these walls to finally...stay with 'a' you...
 
but my finding was....not a 'looking-fore' because...
what i found was not 'a' path to...seeing what 'a fore' is....

i'd made sweet slips that...felt like healing fire tips...
andt' was only desire for...'a' nice ice pack for the neck... 

still hadn't found the 'looking fore'...but knew 'a now' not a (k)not and...
how/what/where/when the 'looking for' is....it appears as on it's own accord...

anywhere everywhere....all becomes as one andt…
the 'looking fore' is before your eyes...as another dimensional world...

reality divides andt...your perspective is on a slow 'reality....movie'...
buddha's perspective presents many commonly...unseen perspectives...

it loosens bonds and chains and lets go the shames...of the looking 'for'...
andt not 'a looking fore' that is everywhere so...stop and let 'it' appear...

Premium Member The Glad Game

If you know what you're sad about
What you're angry and mad about
     Be a bit of a gadabout
     Find something to be glad about

You dwell on the minuses
Complain about the Why-nesses
     Time to elevate, Your Highness
     Unclog your mental sinuses

Enough of the gloom; enough of the doom
Destroy them now: POW and KABOOM!
     No more assigning blame
     Just play the Glad Game
 
Your eyebrows are fine
And so are your knuckles 
     Think about those two
     And burst out in chuckles

No phlegm in your throat
Or snot in your nose 
     Make a wee bit of effort
     Wash the dirt from your toes
 
You're not allergic to chocolate
Or cookies, or candy and cake
     And when you eat pizza  
     Your tummy doesn't ache 
 
No pimples on your face
Or freckles on your butt
     If you're over nineteen
     You've outlived King Tut  

Once you open your mind
And see what you've had 
     You'll always be glad
     My dear friend and comrade!

The Tunnel Vision

You can keep swinging in your smile
as your eyes see through the cylinder only
where the flowers radiate the scent
where the leaves wait for the rustle
of the fondling wind
where stars wait for the music
of the magical light peaks
where the blue sky waits 
for the golden kite
in the cloud towers
Where the staircase raises the ears 
for the sound of the footsteps
Where the mahogany branch
craves for the feet of the pair of the larks

The cylinder refuses to take
the wide angle lens
adding to the view
the greedy rats 
the spilling vats
the leopard like hungry cats
the pus and pain of the flats
that our apartment is proud of
housing the autocrats
None in your tunnel
You don't battle
Against the stale apples
the de facto brothels
in the apartment in isolation
with no ventilation

You are of course better off
than those who have
the same tunnel before the eyes
Only the field of view with no dew
For them in the queue
The rapists and rape victims
The murdered and the murderer
The cheats and frauds
The figures flawed
Nothing good and well
The earth a hell

You are better off
With your cut-off
eliminating the minuses
Including only the pluses
where the thorns
aid and abet the blossoming of the rose

We like to keep disjointed
And highlight the negative knives only
Turning blind to the beehives
And the humming bee
bridging you and me

You do have the ear
corresponding with the tunnel vision
to hear and respond
and build the blueberry bond
between the flute and the music
The circles concentric
of the lyrics of life
and the drumsticks

Premium Member The Side Effects Of Evil: Part 1

An excerpt from my new short story:

Contributing factors, however, are deemed as an assortment embracing negativity and were reinforcements for the young idealist. Granted to resonate by the dark lord was his underlying purpose. The premise has been appropriated. Likewise, the preceding groundwork was properly shoveled underneath. A particular young idealist realigns his outlook and foresees his fresh novel and still sought-after directive. Politics was a voracious subject, not so much academically, but it's a side subject welcomed by scholars considering it just as an extra curriculum. The topic may have been reworded, but his inner values sustain him representing his singular verbiage that goes on unwaveringly. As his agenda gathers momentum, attracting newcomers who realign their political views with his, draws the attention of the local region. Soon thereafter, the rest of the country will be on the ball, by way of his name. His political point of view which framed him since birth, now frames a country. The dark lord is on the rise bearing gifts purposed for an original firstborn. Introduced into a split family valued life of pluses and minuses, and compounded with his educational woes, evil's birthright was given a unique name. Historians, during their early stages, were amidst the golden glow of a virgin Europe, circa 1900.

It would later serve as a guide for his yet-to-be, future. WWI military losses for the Central forces were; 4,386,000, with; 3,700,000 civilian casualties. The Russian Empire conceded to the Bolsheviks Revolution who then executed the Imperial family. Military losses for the Allied forces were; 5,525,000, with; 4,000,000 civilian casualties. The German Empire ended after Kaiser Wilhelm II abdicated his throne on November 9th, 1918. Two days later on the 11th of November 1918, The Peace Armistice was signed by the newly formed, German Republic, and the Soviet Union. The end of WWI left a highly decorated Adolf, wholly confident and sharply experienced.
