Lady Wonder
No, I ain’t wrote.
I’ve been caught up
In the greatest things they say
Life has to offer.
But, in the midst
Of all my success,
I find myself feeling
Oddly like a pauper.
And in my darkest
Days and hours,
I get to thinking of the time
We spent together.
Your whispers
Never failed
To set my brushes
Hissing all across
The canvases of summer.
It’s strange of me
To come back

EMBODY YOURSELF
Know yourself
If not
People gonna
Write your story
Forgetting your history
But just for their glory.
They make you feel
Like you're nothing
Just to make you lazy
Feeling above you
Then act crazy
Making you the villain
Just put you on surveillance.
Steadily watching
Your moves and motives
So they can put you
On slow motion
Causing confusion
Leaving you

Steps Beyond Stagnation
Inertia's whispered promise: stagnation's dark shroud
We risk being lost in the undertow of untaken steps
Not all of us will wear the mantle of wealth
But inaction's chill grasp, we can all be poor
Education's radiant light may not illuminate every path
Yet, without effort, ignorance's heavy chains can bind us all
Love's sacrament, marriage, may elude some of us
But

Yes, I know
It’s really quite hard
I was dealt a bad hand
Nothing written in the cards
And I don’t have a plan
I couldn’t make this up
I couldn’t if I tried
I guess this is the point
That I’m at in my life
I’m batting for first base
And I’m back at square one
Always end up in this place
When I think that I’m done
I’m

The Resolution Door
Back against "The Resolution Door"
the first thing that hits you is the
depravity, then self-loathing follows
close behind. Then just when hoping
the first thought was getting better.
That you're getting the upper-hands
and there can't be too much longer.
The head goes light, as the light goes
out.
When the lights come on, reality sets
in.
Obstructed by

Truly integrated
First you get
Castigated.' Because they are?
Irritated.'
Next you get, indoctrinated through
Being educated.'
Then you'll be casterated
That gets you celebrated.'
Then you can, get trans-mutated
As truth becomes mutilated
Yet before all this goodness related
Can happen.' Did you get wormed?
And Hack-cinated.?
Only because juval haraani, needs to know??

No Anchor For Rancour - Comp
The rocks on the sea bed
Can be friendly in storms
When our sails are bedraggled
Or all tattered and torn
From our voyage on seas
Often left unexplored
But there's truth in the water
That cannot be ignored
In the wind is the Spirit
An adventurer's friend
So we move in directions
To where searching may end
There are hazards aplenty
As the salty air calls
There's that

Stagnation
In a dream, I was on a mission.
A mission to rescue a nation.
A nation in a quagmire.
A quagmire not as usual.
A high mountain, I had to climb.
Climb it, in its nakedness.
Nakedness and grassless up to the crest.
Up to the crest, it was slippery.
Up I looked. It was all stiff nature.
Nature hindered me reach the peak.
But

Life Is What It Is
You say Life is rough
O tell me what makes it tough;
If not of your idiosyncrasy
Life is a rock of intricacy
Room of animation and stagnation
Those must be tasted as abnegation
Yes, even the opulent must travel through
So live it madly or sweetly
And sing it silently or loudly.
Life is dark mode's light
It shines when lit
And overshadows the dark

Stagnation
stagnation a trait
which many soon come to hate
for what it negates
refusing to look, see, hear
beyond beliefs most hold dear
hardening one's mind
to those seeming unrefined
yields socially blind
unaware people are blend
of diverse thoughts, forms and trends
becoming like rock
which requires an extreme shock
to look past own flock
know evolution's in play
existence makes new each day
stagnation a curse
making humanity worse

Stagnation
I like when things remain the same;
Stagnation is my favorite game.
I play so well I never lose;
What’s set in stone makes me enthuse.
While others might redecorate
Or even move, I can’t relate.
New furniture does not entice;
My stuff is old, but still, it’s nice.
It isn’t normal, I’ve been told,
Becoming worse as I grow old.
I wish I

Exit Stagnation
Exit stagnation to be free
Else in bondage remain
Love is truth, all else contrary
High time we bliss ingrain
Why languish here, fear fraught
Pause thought, ego begot
Reclaim light, we forgot
Vibrant cessation
Exit stagnation
