THE REALITY

The reality is, things shift
facts change
love disappears
alliances alter
rules are rewritten
values are cast off
and replaced by new ones
expertise is challenged
or termed fraudulent
fashions come and go
Our lives are changed swift

------------------------------

FISHING FOR OUR DREAMS

Everyday we walk to our spots
Bait our hooks
Cast our lines

Sometimes no nibble to give us hope
Don't be frustrated
Don't be discouraged, just cope
Don't feel like you're at the end of a rope

Don't give up fishing for dreams
Persevere in life's ocean, sea, or streams

There's the catch of a lifetime
Out there waiting for us prime
Losing faith is a crime
Reel in your dreams anytime

------------------------------

LIFE'S MAKE-UP CASE

Life is like a woman's make-up case
many shades of eye shadow & eye liner
many colors of lipstick & lip liner
many tones of foundation
many hues of blush
Many cultures but one human race

------------------------------

THE ROOT

Skin is like soil
That people love to ponder & toil

And try to dehumanize & demoralize
Yet you can still organize
Yet you can still strategize
Yet you can still conceptualize
That the power is truth internalize

------------------------------

ONE RACE

One color should matter: GREEN
not black not red
not white not yellow
So much emphasis on color: OBSCENE
not black not red
not white not yellow
We all are a human: BEING
