Supersayings

Dreams become nightmares
When one sleeps through life
To be awake is to be aware
Nonviolence is a tougher fight

The brain is a filter
And the heart is a storehouse
Stealing and Stinginess
Will lead to the poorhouse

Never abandon belief
It's stamina for your actions
The right combination of love and hate
Is equivalent to compassion

Diligence trumps intelligence
So never be too proud
Let the work itself be the gift
And bonuses are sure to come around

Pyramid-Maker

From a three-sided angle
Astrological purpose is unmangled
Triangle on top
Square on the bottom
Bright halo around God
Our tears fill His bottle
A Pyramid is a monument to death
A Tabernacle of wealth
Which comes into effect
When there's no longer breath
Is it mourning or celebration in stealth
Beyond Technology
Architectural prophecy
Geometrical philosophy
The place where Kings and Queens lay
Buried on a sun-disk
Dedicated to Day
The final form to decay
Hands form this shape
When they're positioned to pray.

Spirited

Journeying to the center
Of myself
In search of what I am
Versus what I've felt
When the sky melts
I'll keep soaring through
The molten elements
Telepathic fellowship
Makes timeless truths relevant
The faithful future settles it
A healing prescence 
In a world of pestilence
Provide mindless tribes
With intelligence
The ostrich seeks negligence
But excellence is just the beginning
A perfect lost is adjustment to winning
I'm spirited
I cherish it until I perish
Reappearing near the cherubim
Held staffs where Pharoahs sit
Divorce is not a topic worth marrying
I'm spirited
