Shine

Nice, cool mountain stream
As a string chorus flowing
See water sparkle

Duality

Female, male,
Intuitive, logical.
Negative, positive,
Passive, active.
Moon, sun,
Low, high.
Dark, light,
Blind, sight.
Faith, know,
Kill, grow.

How Sweet

Don't hold on to material things, 
because that doesn't lead you 
to righteousness, only pain.
The path of faith will be harder to fake, 
and the weight on your shoulders 
will be heavier to take.
We all make mistakes; 
get down on your knees and repent 
for He saved us for our benefit.
We can be gone tomorrow, 
but would that stop our sinning?
It's so easy to take for granted all the
miracles that happen every day; 
soiled crops with water drops, oxygen 
off of trees and shade from leaves, 
third rock from the sun.
He even gave songs to a blue jay
so it can give him all the glory. 
Always put God first; never doubt His
mysterious ways, for it pays to serve God.
How sweet!

Facebook Bureau of Investigation

Knows where you’re at; at all times so you’re easy to find,
Without an extended hand there exploring your mind.
Cataloging everything your liking, supporting, and sharing,
Likes and dislikes insights and pimp fights.
Knowing what you’re pursuing and what you’re trying to achieve,
Your family tree is in its reach and what friends to go see.
Just by knowing the frequency of the likes and comments,
Collecting your data like we’re nature born terrorist.
Where ever you log in your placement is being noted,
Every status they run it through a series of code words.
They have your hometown and where you live now,
Any of them match a singular eye will match your footsteps.
Giving blind vision to the sheep that’s why all you see are echoes,
You know what they know but you don’t know you know all up the ego.

Don'T Be Foolish

There not giving you all the angles yet you’re not confused,
We’re behind the curve that’s why you’re obtuse.
We refuse to lose but we’re quick to accept,
Diving into a world which has no depth.
You’re ruled by the three ring circus,
Watching the tube you rather let their life watch you.
GET UP and make you own trail,
When you build your dreams you can tell your own tale.
Don’t wait too long in a moment it could pass you by,
Gone from this world and you pass the sky.
Take advantage because their taking full advantage of you,
We’re in the matrix that’s why you go with the program.
Now instead of going hard you go ham,
You still listening for their cue man got damn.
You want to go straight to flying but not even want to take a step,
When you make a mistake you plunged got to learn how to trip.
