Put pen to paper
Scribble the goals now or never
Time is ticking; pick a direction and start moving
Straightforwardly do something
Life is pure imperfection
Whether losing or winning
Stay active; don’t retire
Take it slow and let it flow
Smile, reconnect with nature
Give thanks; live in the moment
Follow your ikigai
The passage of time shows everything is fleeting
Leave the urgency behind
Life and time will take on a new meaning
Keep doing things of value
Make progress; don't argue
Bring utility to others
To shape the world around you
To be direct I project here I shan’t be shady
For people all around the world
You don’t own that baby.
Knowing me, knowing you and life thus has compiled
My truth made clear for all to hear
You don’t own that child.
If no-one ever told you- this I will uncover
Your boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife
You don’t own your lover.
Straightforwardly direct in hope you comprehend
You can own yourself all of times though
You don’t own your friend.
You can pay for others time and have some working bees
Though only does a wise boss know-
you don’t own employees.
This life has taught me many things
Some have been tough lessons,
Though we don't own each other
For people aren't possessions.
To be crystal clear and direct,
Without shady shadowy effect.
Straightforwardly, Unmistakably sound,
Plain-speaking plain-spoken profound.
Candid, Frank, Direct, Upfront,
Incorruptible and Blunt.
Honourable, Decent, Moral and Just,
To be someone whom others trust.
Blameless, Credible, Real and Sincere,
Righteous, Honest there and here.
Moral, pure, legit and true,
Authentic in the things you do.
Modesty prevails
Adoration upscales
Contentment from this jolly mirth;
Quality of human worth.
The truth, the indisputable truth
Will always be a force too sleuth.
No; I don't want to be a poet
Stinginess in certification
Not in me really
I certify straightforwardly
Everyone in the world is a poet;
But the phrase of words expressed by everyone
is not poetry
Yes, man is the crown creation among fauna and flora
But not everyone has humanity, conscience;
Brutality, bigotry, divider among human being
maybe something another but not human
because of my belief
The holy scriptures are not a measure of truth,
Through the veins of practical life
doing peaceful anything for the welfare of entire world peoples
is true religion
Worship, coming to the house of prayer
Just a sign of worldly displaying righteousness
That’s not the reality of self knowing;
The pious - the people who do everything on earth
without desire of exchange
No; But I want to be a true human, not a poet

Speech greenhorn Sue smartly stands smiling
Sleepwalking, she’s set for faith-sailing
Seeking for serenity
Sshhh, she spots security
She’s soul-searching midst silence-sealing.
Sleeptalking shows Sue’s secrets surely
Stressing statements straightforwardly
She shouts, “Stop selfishness*…
Shut up shameful slothfulness!”
She’s safe, speaking to herself soundly.
*1Corinthians 4:3 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.
