Lyfe


 If lyfe was easy if lyfe was sweet

If there were no struggle or ugliness on the streets

If beauty in the world outweigh the poverty surround

Dreams of running through fields of lilies

Smelling a sweet red rose 

Lyfe we all wish to behold 

Lyfe is what we make it, shape, embrace it, take it, create it

Lyfe isn't easy and sweetness is rare to be found

We struggle each day with the horror around

Peace, we hear about seen rarely 

Lyfe, I want to bury my head and not

Listen to all the shit how lyfe is only

Meant for the rich

The poor must submit

Never will they get

To have what they wish

All bullshit

If lyfe was easy, if lyfe was sweet

There would be no crying in the streets

Mothers’ tears would not wash away the blood stains

Of her children spilled

The homeless would have a place to 

Lay their heads

The hungry would be fed

And the earth would give back its dead

Lyfe is reality

 

 

In the Moment

In the moment your life-cycle changes
Embrace a new future
Instead settled for the stale past
The answers you come up with
Are not the ones you are willing
To accept
Circumstances leave no room
For guess work
In the moment time can’t be taken back
For an instant clarity is a diamond
Sparkling in the sun
Examine it closer and see it’s
Filled with inclusions
Blemishes that aren’t seen with the
Naked eye become visible in the dark
In the moment what looked good in the mirror
Evil fore shadows behind soulless eyes
Lips speak deceit buried deeply in the heart
Lure you in and trap your spirit
Still it was in the moment
That has brought you to this place
