Short Prioritize Poems

Why do I choose music ? 
Why do I chase music ? 
Why do I prioritize music?
Quite simply it’s there. 
You are not....

In all that you do
prioritize this,
mutual respect;
Make it a habit, 
a rule to live by;

Treat people well;
Even upset
walk with soft steps,
control feelings; 

Remember,
speak gently; 
Please be sweet;

It’s free
to stay 

kind....

Work
so hard
morning, noon
night before sleep
reward is so unsatisfactory.
Wake up in the morning ready for work
have my breakfast
plan my day
to do
list.
Now
ready 
start workday 
review my list
prioritize my work for the day; smart....

What things are most important to me?
Things that I must give rapt attention to
We must all consider this individually,
Deciding for ourselves what is right and true
And prioritize our days accordingly.

Think, plan, scheme, devise
 Write, read, review, revise

Sit, wait, reread, reflect,
  Insert, delete, keep, reject

Rethink, rewrite, reorganize
  Snip, cut, paste, prioritize

A poem's a process of many a step
  From that very first 'No' to that final 'Yep!'...

I have seen a red sunset at least a thousand times
I've watched how the Northern lights play in the winter skies
And I have heard it all described within a poets rhymes
But I'd never seen Bobbie Ann bat those big brown eyes
Now the world is upside down when I prioritize

The life of a loner is equivalent to a lost kite
Viewable from all angles, 
Yet the finer details remain obscure
Floating away from grasps of the common person
Many do not prioritize viewing a lost kite 
Like the kite, the loner is miles away from companionship
The constant wind gust are quite brutal...

I will allow my trail to blaze behind. 

And leave behind the sorrow that binds. 

I must not be hidden alive. 

By a past that allowed guilt to thrive. 

As the influence of the void threatens. 

I must prioritize the passion that beckons. 

Another night in the forest. 

Is better than a prison where I cannot rest....

L-ove God above all things, 
E-very moment, dark or blue; 
N-ight and day, glorify Him, 
N-ever let Him ignore

C-herish God above all things, 
A-pril twenty-sixth Wednesday; 
R-ecognize Him as Lord, 
A-s you serve Him all the way. 
N-either your heart nor mind 
A-ims to deny the blessings; 
Y-ou prioritize the Father, love God above all things....

Let’s prioritize,
Revolutionize,
Synchronize,
Synthesize,
Modernize,
Electrify,

Excitement mounts in the mob.
They love the words.
They sound fancy, prancy, dancy.
They vote for the man.
At least it’s not a woman.
We can’t have one of those yet.

People are ready.
Want a change.
Except not a woman of course.
Never a woman.

Not realizing
All they really need
Is a house in the country,
With flowers, and a garden....

It's stressful 
Knowing that I have so much to do
I gotta do this
I gotta do that
I'm doing this right now
There's only one me
And not enough time
All that I've done
Little that I do
So much to be done
I can't get lazy
But I mustn't be stressed
I need to be free
& un-timed on what I do
But I do plan to prioritize
Cause I'm responsible
I must stay focused
I won't break down
I hate heavy weight
But I also need it
I gotta get back to you
So here I come...

Zoo Animals 

 Jubilant Tripoli 
Guns in every unsure hand 
They call it freedom. 
While zoo animals go unfed
 A Kaddafi son cared for them.  
It doesn’t matter now
Do not prioritize beasts 
They are dumb beings
And have nothing to offer
In our blind struggle for freedom 
And global capitalism. 
So set the camels free to find 
Their own oasis; let the lion 
Roam the vast hinterland 
 And the eagle, soar high above
Human’s murderous pursuit....

It's okay to say no and carry on your way..
Know that you are worthy, don't heed what others say.
Some will take advantage, and steal your precious time..
It's time to prioritize your own peace of mind.

No need to explain or defend, your needs are worthy of care.
You've given more than enough, this we can declare.
Let go of guilt, welcome self-respect, and honour your own self-love.
Grant yourself the power to choose, and recall all you've read from above....

There is a reason your so torn apart
The reason is deep within your heart

You can lock it away and lose the key
It will grow beyond and then burst free

You must search within yourself
Take those hurts from off the shelf

Prioritize and deal with them
Don't be another victim of a life of sin

Let go of the hurt let go of the hate.
Leave disappointment behind and lock the gate

Forgive all and you will be free
Let love grow like a great red wood tree...

I can wish and I can pray...
I can sit and waste away...
I can live in utter fantasy...
Blurring the lines of reality...
I can imagine my enormous wealth...
Everyone in wonderful health...
I'm not aging nor laying on a bed of regret...
I'm not afraid nor alone nor hiding from debt...
I'm never late to work because my car won't start...
I never prioritize my food from my grocery cart...
I never write about things that I fear,
And I love that image in the mirror......

Pumpkin spice wafts through the air
To spite the summer heat
I'm already planning what to wear
When I trick-or-treat

Buying back-to-school supplies
Or buying bags of candy
It's important to prioritize
What most will come in handy

Sugar skulls and jack-o'-lanterns
Are grinning from the shelves
And soon these cheerful phantoms
Will be joined by jolly elves

It's so hard to deal with August
When it's trying to be October
But if I'm really honest
I'll be sad when it's all over....
