No matter how many years we live in the flesh, it will still be a fleeting moment compared to the spirit's eternal life.
Therefore,
One should ponder this: " How wise would it be to sacrifice eternity by giving in to the immoral demands of carnal desires?"

Tea,
My friend
I can make
I have leftover from
The box they welcomed us with
When we moved into this accommodation,
Where we’re breaking from study for Monopoly
And the Yorkshire tea rations are especially lovely
When you’re used to whatever you usually have in
That you associate with stress of long nights completing assignments.
In every distance away
from you,
I'd still choose you.
no matter what comes
don't lose your humanity
~ show love and kindness

When it comes to me, my personality, my attitude, my confidence, just me in general - It’s No Matter
It’s No Matter what you say - If you say I think I’m all dat - And do
It’s No Matter how you feel - If you feel I’m bossy, I’m demanding, I want things my way… No lies told, I’m not no regular degular, I’m da Goat, TF
It’s No Matter what you think - If you think I’m doing the most, that’s cause you doing da least
And when I say it’s No Matter, it’s No Matter!
So ion’t know what type of time you on and who don’t like it, but just know, I’m still gon do me. So if you got a problem with me, move around and find somethin’ safe ta do. Just saying!
I'll find you someday somehow
My mind's set I'll stop at nothing
There's no obstacle too daunting
Wordku: 5-7-5 words
Say what you wanna say,
I'll love you so dearly anyway.
Say why you may not stay,
I'll give you reasons that may sway.
I raise my voice in an ugly way
angering my family
the dog still loves me
I rant and storm about
kicking and throwing things
the dog licks my hand
I shriek, wail and whine
my family disappears
my dog puts his head in my lap, loving me no matter what
Never fear when your truth is blamed
Fear when your wrong is justified
No matter how deep the truth will submerged
Truth will find a way to show up to the surface
Don't do it to others what not to do to yourself
Don't be proud to be good at turning the story upside down
Because one day your fakeness will be revealed
Don't say a word for revenge
Hopefully help your heart to cover with feeling
Guilt and restless every time you do not do good.
You can step up to the plate,
and hit that game winning homerun.
Everybody in the stands is cheering,
the newspaper says that your number one.
Or swing and miss and fall flat on your face,
while the other guy rides off with your dreams.
Your girlfriend tucked under one arm,
his pockets bursting at the seams.
Leaving you filled with shame and regret,
trying to find the bullets for your gun.
But remember there’s another game tomorrow,
no matter who it was that lost or won.
So keep on dreaming, planning, and scheming,
all the dreams that might never come true.
It might be happiness, it might be sorrow,
no one knows which is waiting at the end for you.
There is one thing we all have in common,
no matter if your life is filled with rain or filled with sun.
Ain’t nobody going to remember you,
when it’s all said and done.
Where to cut it? It all depends.
If you take too much off the ends,
you will waste a lot of money.
This vegetable's expensive honey -
but if you err the other way,
you'll be chewing half the day.
Make a decision. Have some guts.
Where to slice asparagus?
It's all about to come to fruition
to seath up and boil over in volume and commission
The intention of the off hand is to present the will of the common
driving down to the bottom with no cause to empty the plenty free you see.
I cast no spell to either side tho I hide behind honorable walls ready to peak around the side and utter my righteous mantra.
I might just have fun with the sincerity of others who are afraid of what they are told to be afraid of.
With love so right it's wrong to know when "no" means more to you than to them requiem this intent to stint the stench sent by the unrepentant to persistent intent.
I bask in the glory filled fortified facts that we stack high abroad to attack when everyone is watching.
Desencly watching with no way of knowing where you're going.
If they're told to hate do they know when to cease?
To release all bindings and so called findings of convenient facts
That stack on there mind so high they can't see over their own failure
To see that their freedom has been redefined for their confinement.
Your home is a castle
Heart is your palace,
Your mind is a chamber
For thoughts to cherish.
A hut is a home
Where a rich heart abides
Not the size that matters
But the hospitality with rites.
Food may be simple
Tasty all the same,
Cooked on wood fire
A savour to claim.
Our fate will happen no matter what, but the choices we make up to that point are all under our control
No matter how you live,
No matter how good you are,
You can just be sure the next mistake is not to far.
I stumble and I fall,
I stagger and I crawl,
And although my eyes were open,
Thet might just as well be closed.
As I just crashed right through,
I never noticed I made you blue.
But now I know I will surely try,
To show my love for you as this short life goes swirling by.
