Back to the basics
Beyond all the abilities
Basics remain un biased
Black boys block the breaks
But normally life nominates living.

Satisfactory

Achieving satisfactory
is not what you should seek.
It's the understanding of the basics
nothing more.
Advancing to the next level
yes, that is what
many of us
should look for.


Just the Basics

Flour, water, salt, yeast.

Staff of life,

When hungry, a feast.

Back to basics

These monsoon clouds, these rolling verdant hills
These gushing streams meandering through at will
These canopies of magnificent towering tall trees
swaying with the whimsical winds joyfully free
Beckoning me back where serenity reigns still.

Jesus Christ  is the reason for the season.

Getting and giving gifts on any day will do.

Premium Member Going Out on a Lim: Civilization

Civilization didn't just all at once upon humanity burst,
It had to be thought up, and practiced, refined, and rehearsed.
And just when folks finally got the basics down,
They pulled up stakes and moved to town
Because living in caves was the absolute worst.

Help! There are two of us in here;
one is ego, the other soul.
Save in deep sleep, ego prevails,
deflecting us from our life role.

Mind is the domain of ego
and soul’s abode, our glowing heart.
Discern with care, worthy hermit,
cause why head and heart stand apart.

Love breathes,on everyday life
...extinguishing anger's strife

Love awaits another's call
...lies patient in us all

Love creates a whispered word
...as romance's voice is heard

Love kisses emotion's tide
...hearts opening wide

Love ignites passion's fire
...releasing mutual desire

Cows of the Month

Cows of the Month, we're here!
This is a badge of honor, my dears,
Trophy of the year, hear, hear,
Once we were 'good little girls',
Now Cows of the Month do twirl,
Excuse me, what did you call me?
The basics, good manners for tea!
Cows of the Month, hear, hear,
It's trophy of the year, my dears!

back to it

Back to black coffee
back to ryo cigarettes
back to the grindstone
the wheel
the rat race
to nowhere

back to it
back on track
back to basics
the spinning wheels
the hampster cage
the invisible prison

back on the regimine
back to the doctor
back in the gym
the vitamins
the cardio
the end

Emotional Psychosis

A familiar sunshine
Fragile grins and warm hugs
Wilting trees
A shifting decade

It starts to rain
Strange conversations unnecessary
Youth decayed and childhood dismantled
A slow shadow play towards the end

Crippling wind
Monotonous basics
My Truth is an anomaly
In the end, we are all a dying story.

Righteously Reminded

Discontentment and resentment isn't instant faithfullfillment being impatient is contagious outlandish and outragious by being bias to the basics while relying on relations which unties communication creating carnal devastation destroying the creators great creation unless we as one nation under God finally awaken.

I watched attentively as each fold was creased so carefully and precisely, and then tested with great care to exact the chosen form. It was made worthy of long, sustained flight to compete with the other boys, whose fathers also taught them the basics of aerodynamics from the kitchen table.

Caught On My Tongue

Flea on my dug.
Digging the flip out.
It was ought the sweat.
Caught around my face.

How can I regret it.
The taste felt on my ears.
My eyes wept to hear.
Can't oppose my senses.
Insanity is alive.

Count the days.
Months passed
Basics common in court.
Dart of doubt is adapt.
Adopt what is real.
Let a rapper join me.

Never Mind

NEVER MIND.

Nurses know best,
Better than the rest,
Nurses do the basics,
Drugs for all,
Including Lasix,
Never mind, they'll say,
Better tomorrow than today,
You'll improve each day,
Never mind, be home soon,
That's their daily tune,
Never mind, never mind,
Words fixed firmly in time,
Better than the rest----
Nurses know best.

Preparatory School

The earth we live in
is a preparatory school
it’s a kindergarten
every human with a slate
to learn the basics of existence
and to mature according to plan
all must sit for promotional tests
only those who pass well
climb the ladder of excellence
failures do not repeat class
they do not remain in society
but are exiled forever
in super-limbo

The Real One

Mellow from head to toe

He’s got more swag than Duolingo

Excellant musical taste for someone that isn’t copy paste

Knows more than just the basics of aesthetics

Got so much style, he’s so worth while

A heart so pure I’d die chasing him more than a mile

Considerate of others, sometimes I wish we were brothers

Freedom

Freedom is the green grass where the antelope roam
It’s the darndest yarn of cotton 
It’s the bottom feed for human basics

Freedom is the buttress of the Moths wing
It’s the smile you give me
when you're in clover

Freedom is the languid river
And it’s the caterpillar’s prayer
And the hero’s scythe thrashing the tall weeds
I see a glade
for freedoms chance of burgess
