If you want to fly,
Then fly
Only in your dreams?
Fly in your dreams, but fly!
If you want to love,
Then love.
No one to love?
Love yourself, but love!
If you want to sing,
Then sing
Only without words?
Sing without words, but sing!
If you really want to be happy
Then be happy , just be
If you want to forget,
Then forget
Close the door behind you
And leave.

Always on point you are
Don't worry don't doubt
Definitely don't shout
Look around n about
Take a taste n embrace this place like no time to waste
Tomorrow you may not be breathing
Mek sure a positive mark you are leaving
Behind
Like our ancestors done dat daily grind
To shine some light for the blind
Me personally am giving thanks
Full of gratitude on every level n latitude
I'm justa dude
Trying to piece this shit together
Whatever the weather mek sure I endeavour to make it a pleasure
For all that come into my zone
You will never hear me moan or groan
Like I keep saying everywhere is home

the breeze from the ocean
paused in sequence
with his entrance
the immaculate beachwear
gold rimmed Polaroid filtered
temple of a man
who had accomplished
the two women act
both now sizzling
in his undertow
energized by
Dionysian impulse
for the ultra man

He toasted me from the distance
"to the cause my friend" he nodded
"to liberty from your slave morality"
and with the whitest smile
he raised the glass
and returned to his entourage

Monday I'm pounding the pavement
the walk, the dead soul pain walk
for a job I've swallowed
for thirty years gone
and every day I pass
that little bank on the corner
where ninety seconds
is all it would take
to break this hell
that and a little steel influence
faces to the cool floor
I'd do a little wheezing now
having left it too long
filling the money sacks
naked ambition
finally realized
and all the while
back home
sitting in the drawer
that ticket to Uruguay

I like the bus shelter man
he's out in the spring sun
reading the racing form
on racing carnival day
"Dad's Boy for mine,
he'll run like the wind today,
then I'll bring daffodils home for the wife,
and even the dog
will be pleased to see me" he says
"Victory is assured!" says I
and he grins at his new found friend
slaps me on the shoulder
"it's you and me against the world kid" he says
then the bus took him away

Blast the basic primitive notion

to conform to the norm
or sware by another's devotion.

A brick placed against the same

In order to wall off trouble
will only in time be lost in the rubble.

So pay little heed to the dominant suggestion

when interference with in

leads your heart into question

when the common embrace

seems as one of oppression

You have a will to weild

In the right of your own choosing

And if so compelled

To choose such a path

You find in choice of persuing.

And knowing damn well
On who's account will be held

If your choice ends

by chance of you losing.

But then again

by that same choice you may win

The results of it all will only depend

Not by opinions of others

But what feelings are felt

That you alone will feel at the end

Our life journey can affect us, in many ways
Each section taking, years-months-week or days
Could it be the places, we get chance to call home
Or is it the people, interchanged with as we roam

Was there a plan, or did we randomly pick a reason
Why we went in that direction, or based on the season
Coastal areas when warm sun and sand , was the lure
Or did we focus on isolation, solitude a wintery cure

Whatever the choice, maybe reminded by a scene
Or people we encountered, that hover in our dreams
Every moment, whether happy or sad will be recorded
In our memories to remember, special ones hoarded

In the closet of our mind, to pull out and make us smile
But were these the only reason, we travelled many miles
Experiences gained, and friends that we made and lost
These are the price, as moving on we paid the cost

Some we never forget, though other gradually must fade
from our daily thoughts, and at that time when we made
Those memories, that enriched our lives and made us whole
It is the journey that was important, not the outcome our goal.

Was I searching for something, as I moved from place to place
And sometimes my thoughts are jolted, when I recognize a face
Where do I know them from, or am I truly wrong and mistaken
I smile at them when it happens, glad about my journey's taken....

The planets shift
And I'm on deck
Opened my mail
Nothin but checks!

I've given up
All sense of fear
That's all played out
No purpose here

Prosperity
She's comin for me
Prosperity
Has been stalkin me

Holy wow
Cash in my hand
Next thing I know
I've bought some land

So here I go
I'm off-grid, livin
Organic food
It's got me spinnin

Prosperity
She's comin for me
Prosperity
Has been stalkin me

This is cool
I'm lovin life
Oh my lord
I'm my soulmate's wife

Abundance abounds
Everywhere
We split our wealth
Cuz we love to share

Prosperity
She's comin for me
Prosperity
Has been stalkin me

See energy flows
Where attention goes
And this is how
My money grows

Raised our vibe
Now it's all good
Harmonious tribe
As we all should

Prosperity
She's comin for me
Prosperity
Has been stalkin me

Prosperity
Caught up with me
Cuz Prosperity
Is MY energy
