[ Your Whole Life Is Not Held Up By Twine ]

[ You Always Have A Choice ]
[ You Could Always Use Your Voice ]

[ If You Can’t ]
[ Get Up On Your Tall Soapbox & Rant ]

[ You Could Be Yelling About Any Subject ]
[ Unless Someone Steps Forward ]
[ & Wants To Object ]

[ You Must Come To Be Who You Want To Be ]
[ Put All Of Your Cards On The Table ]
[ For All To See ]

[ If You Don’t Like Your Own Reflection ]
[ Make Changes To Yourself ]
[ Section By Section ]

[ The Easiest Thing To Change Are Your Clothes ]
[ If You Like What You See, Make Sure Everybody Knows ]

[ Don’t Become Stuck On The Little Things That Do Not Matter ]
[ Never Take The Insults Seriously ]
[ When Some Inconsiderate Person Says That It Looks Like You Are Getting Fatter ]

[ People Who Make Comments Like That, Are Insecure In Their Own Right ]

[401][ Are You Ever Ready? … 4•22•2020 ]

[ Who Is Ever Ready For Change? ]
[ That Feels Like You Have To Take Stock In Your Life ]
[ & Then Rearrange ]

[ Rearrange For A New Idea? ]
[ Is That Like Looking For New Furniture ]
[ & Going To Akea? ]

[ Maybe You Can Search Their Catalog ]
[ If They Are Not Backlogged ]

[ But Do You Get To Test An Idea Like You Can Test Out
Furniture? ]
[ Then You Can Come Up With Your Own Nomenclature ]

[ Where Does The Idea Go? ]
[ In The Upper Part Of The Brain? ]
[ Or Down Low? ]

[ Not Down Low With The Other Meaning ]
[ That Definition Can Be Demeaning ]

(101)▪︎[ Some, Well Maybe Alot, Never Change … 1•30•2021 ]

[ They Say That The Only Thing Better Than Making
     Dollars ]
[ Is Making Change ]
[ The Only Way To Make People Hollar ]
[ Is To Take What They Consider Important Priorities, Then
     Rearrange ]

[ Rearrange The Order ]
[ So It Makes Them Say In A Recorder ]
[ That They Have Nothing But Disorder ]

[ They May Confuse Order With Respect ]
[ They Never Want Changes ]
[ Because That Is Something That Happens That They Would
      Never Expect ]

[ Order Is Something That You Hope Things Will Get In ]
[ Right From When Things Start To Begin ]

[ People Do Not Like It When Others Changes Things ]
[ Especially When They Are As Important As Queens & Kings ]

[ Change Only Happens Over Time & Through Alot Of Words
     Being Said ]
[ So Others Can Feel Secure As Things Sink Into Their Head ]

[ Some Never Change & Remain As Stubborn ]
[ & Unwilling ]
[ As The Day That They Were Born ]

[ Then Things Never Change With Them ]
[ Or ]
[ For Them ]
[ & They Can No Longer Ignore ]
[ That Is Their Biggest Problem ]

[ You Feel That You Have Been On This Trail Before ]
[ But You Guess That This Is Something That You Must Do ]

[ Everything Looks Different, But Kind Of The Same ]
[ But Then You See People That You Have Met Before ]
[ But You Don’t Know Remember Their Name ]

[ The Names Were Always On The Tip Of Your Tongue ]
[ You Get Kind Of Frustrated ]
[ Because You Were So Much Better @ Remembering Names
     When You Were Young ]

[ Everything Was Easier In Your Youth ]
[ It Was Just Easier To Stay In Your Groove ]

[ Now The Groove Is Covered Up With Foggy Memories ]
[ On Your Path Back, You Hope To See Alot Of Possibilities ]

[ Even Though You Got Knocked Off Of Your Path Doesn’t
     Mean You Can’t Start Another One ]
[ Even Though Your Climb Back Hasn’t Been All That Fun ]

[ You Find Out That Life Is Not Always Filled With Kicks ‘N
     Giggles ]
[ Sometimes Things Are Not Always What They Seem ]

[ Sometimes It Might Be Because Of Something From Your
     Past ]

[ There Is No Reason To Become Distraught ]
[ While Putting Others On The Spot ]

[ You Might Find That Others Have Changed ]
[ Because Of Your Fall ]
[ Your Life Was Not The Only One That Got Rearranged ]

[ Oftentimes You Can Never Go Back To What You Felt
     Was Normal ]
[ You Might Go To A Party Wearing Shorts & A T-Shirt ]

[ There Might Not Be Any Signs Of Normal That You Used
     To See ]
[ Chances Were Slim To None That Is How Things Could Be ]

[ Can You Ever Feel Free ]
[ While Living On Your Knees? ]

[ That Is No Way To Stand ]
[ While Trying To Be A Man ]

[ That Is No Way To Live ]
[ Being Greedy Is Not The Way You Give ]

[ Getting Grouchy & Angry Is Not The Best Way To Grow
     Old ]
[ Getting Older & Growing Cold ]

[ That Would Chase Everybody Away From You ]
[ They Just Don’t Like The Things That You Do ]

[ How Can You Improve Your Quality Of Life? ]
[ How Can You Be A Better Husband To Your Wife? ]
[ You Already Sold Both Of Your Guns ]
[ Now If Could Only, Lay Down The Knife ]

[ Say A Kind Word To Someone That You Don’t Know ]
[ Maybe That Would Help Someone Who Might Have Been
     Feeling Low ]

(150)▪︎[ Change … 2•18•2021 ].

[ To Prevent A Bad Situation From Repeating Itself ]
[ People Have To Look Within Themselves ]

[ People Need To Have Truth Before Reconciliation ]
[ But Without Truth ]
[ Others Cannot Even Have A Conversation ]

[ Sometimes There Are Three Sides To Every Story ]
[ Without One Side Seeking Glory ]

[ There Is Always Their Side & The Other Side, Then
     The Truth When Both Sides Are Combined ]
[ The Person Trying To Put The Story Together ]
[ Must Not Show That They Are Aligned ]

[ On One Side Or The Other ]
[ Because It Is Not Right To Always Believe The Sister Over
     The Brother ]

[ Some People Try To Mold Others Like Them ]
[ Most Of The Time ]
[ That Becomes A Big Problem ]

[ The World Does Not Need A Population Full Of Clones ]
[ & Society Doesn’t Need To Have Their Privacy Invaded By
     A Bunch Of Flying Drones ]

[ Who Wants To Be In The Privacy Of Their Own Backyard ]
[ Then Look Up To See Your Neighbors Drone That Has
     A Working Camera ]
[ With A Memory Card? ]
[ That Would Make Peace With Your Neighbor Quite Hard! ]

[ People Must Take Personal Responsibility For Their
     Own Actions ]
[ No Matter The Outside Distractions ]

[ That Is Where & When Most People Fail ]
[ That Might Be One Of The Reasons That A Large Part
     Of Society ]
[ Is In Prison Or In Jail ]

[ Spending A Couple Of Days Or A Couple Of Decades ]
[ Being Consequenced ]
[ For The Poor Choices That They Made ]

[ Some Parts Of Society Falls Through The Cracks ]
[ Not Having Enough Money For Meals ]
[ So No Money For Snacks ]

[ But Sad To Say That Some People Die All Alone ]
[ Some People Cannot Be Reached By The Telephone ]

[ Some People Think That It May Be Only A Few ]
[ But It Comes Out To Be Many ]
[ If There Is Way More Than Two ]
[ When There Shouldn’t Be Any ]
