We CAN fill each others' cup!

Every rose has its thorns.

I’d like to simply be an angel

But many a time I wear horns.

When stress blinds, I’ve got to be less painful.

The preciseness of my words are lacking

As I struggle for cohesiveness

I fear my goodness is a –slacking

When I find myself in lower consciousness.

Life can be such a crazy ride,

The coaster rolls up ‘n’down ‘ n’ round

I hope my imperfections slide,

As I climb up to a higher sound.

I know naught how my energy

Ebbs and flows, or even why

But if I can conquer the dark & lethargy

I know I can soar high!

Apologies are in order to loved ones

For the effects of my stresses.

I promise to fend “IT” off as it comes

So that my tongue merely blesses.

It is ever increasingly important

To always put forth Good

As we raise eachg other above the Discordant

To bring Love and Peace to the hood.

We all must rise, Up, UP!

Break our mental, emotional, physical chains!

We can fill each others’ cup

As we move from dependence on governance to brains.
