Everything

 Come visit our shores

Come see our beaches
You may have the money and the power But we have each other and the weather Morning till night
Shivering in your winter coat and thoughts
While our babies run in their birth coats
Enjoying the free gifts of nature

Addereal you snort,
Noting 9_5 assignments
Just to add that extra dollar
365 you seat for the 401k
While the seasons are in our favor,
You might think you have everything
But come to our stead and see everything From natures perspective.

Minutes later the white boy arrived (let the hunger games begin) the lady who had ushered me in the makeshift lobby ran as hell towards the boy (poor thing).”We have been waiting for you,” she said. Schmoozing and acting all nice like she had just come into contact with a V.I.P of some sort. I wondered if I was say in Brussels, Copenhagen or London for that matter and was the only black interviewee in the room would I be accorded the same priority? My hopes fell knowin...

 I'd rather be an unsung hero Than a war hero I'd rather be praised by the silent majority Than by the simple majority I'd rather die hungry on my feet Than wine and dine on my knees I'd rather spend 10,000 hours perfecting Than 10 seconds psychophanting I'd rather fight for my rights on the streets Than in the hallways and corridors of fame I'd rather post anonymous Than have a gazillion followers I'd rather fight as a lone ranger Than depend on them pledgers I'd rather make 10,000 mistakes Than be the perfect role  model I'd rather ruin my reputation Than wallow in repudiation For the world is full Full of cowards Full of fools Full of morons And errors But the world is also full of beauty All we got to do is open our eyes To this, Endless possibilities.
