(001)▪︎[ Modern Society … 2025 ]

What would you change about modern society?

[ I Feel The ‘VID’19 Was The Worst Thing To Happen To Our Society As A Whole ]

[ Nobody Trusts Anyone ]

[ We Are A Very Fractured Society ]

[ People Grouping & Labeling Others ]

[ By Gender, Sexual Preference, Race, Heritage, Politics, Religious Beliefs … ]

[ To Some, We Are No Longer Male Or Female Because They Want That Line Blurred. Like Washing Away The Line That Was Drawn In The Sand. ]

[ People Labeling You A Republican Or A Democrat. That Is NOT What People Are, That Is The Political Party That They Vote For ]

[ Everyone Wants To Be An Individual, On An Island. No Longer Part Of Anything. People Marking “Other” On Forms ]

[ But Then Wanting To Be Treated As An Equal, But Then Equal To Who. People Want To Be So Different Than Others, Then They Don’t ]

(087)▪︎[ So Alike, But So Different … 1•27•2022 ]

[ Does Everything Have To Go Up & Down In This World For
Everything To Work? ]
[ Even For The People That Have A Little Quirck? ]

[ Some Say A Little Quirckiness Is Good ]
[ They Should Tell You Before Their Actions Are Misunderstood ]

[ Everybody Has Something Quircky About Them, But It May
Not Be Obvious To The Average Joe ]
[ People Work Really Hard To Hide Whatever It Is, So It Won’t
Show ]

[ We Are All Not The Same By Any Means ]
[ You Guess We Would Look Somewhat Alike, If We Hid Behind
Enough Screens ]

[ We Don’t Look, Talk, Or Ever Feel The Same ]
[ So We Don’t All Have The Same Name ]

[ But Deep Down We Are The Same, But Some Are Not Treated
As Such ]
[ Alot Of People Are Being Treated Like They Don’t Mean Very
Much ]

[ To Who? ]
[ Well There Are Alot You’s ]

[ We All Have The Same Amount Of Bones ]
[ We Start Off With The Same Number Of Fingers & Toes ]
[ We Have (2) Eyes, Lips & Ears ]
[ & (1) Nose ]

[ Bias & Prejudice Are Behaviors That Are Learned ]
[ Not Earned ]

[ As Someone Grows & Ages ]
[ Their Personality Starts Showing ]
[ From Loving To Rages ]

[ Likes & Dislikes ]
[ Do They Like To Go On Long Walks? ]
[ Or Long, Exhausting Hikes? ]

[ Nobody Has THE Answer On How To Treat Each Other Like
Each Other ]
[ There Were Many Ways That You Were Like Your Younger
Brother ]

[ But Just Because You Are Blood, That Doesn’t Mean You Are
In Any Way Alike ]
[ Your Sister Was Like A (3) Wheeler ]
[ While You Were A Mountain Bike ]

[ Just Like There Are Many Types Of Cancers ]
[ There Must Be Alot Of Different Answers ]

[ We Are Alike, But So Different ]

(612)▪︎[ Are We All So Different? … 7•25•2021 ]

[ Are We All So Different From One Person To The Next? ]
[ Would We All Have Different Interpretations When Reading
     The Same Text? ]

[ We All Are Where We Are, By Taking Different Roads ]
[ We All Stress In Different Ways Under Different Loads ]

[ Your Eyes ]
[ Are Totally Different, When Compared To Different Guys ]

[ Personal Views Are As Different As Each One Of Our
     Fingerprints ]
[ Others Might Excell On Taking Tests ]
[ But You Don’t, Even When Given Hints ]

[ Test Anxiety Is A Real Disorder For Some ]
[ If You Are Unable To Excell On Tests, That Doesn’t Mean That
     You Are Dumb ]

[ When Someone Asks You To Look @ Things Through Their Eyes,
     It Is An Impossible Task ]
[ You Are Always Amazed That Some People Still Ask ]

[ We All Could See The Same Thing On The Nightly News ]
[ Then We Each Would Have Our Own Individual Points Of
     Views ]

[ You Did Not Get To This Same Date In The Exact Same Way As
     Another Guy ]
[ You Did Not Even Stop To Say ( HI ) ]
[ Because You Wanted To Just Walk On By ]
[ Would He Tell You A Lie? ]
[ If He Was Forced To Tell You Why ]

[ The One Thing That Is So Different From One To Another ]
[ It Is The Mind ]
[ It Can Be Different Even Between Twin Brothers ]

[ But Studies Do Say That Twins Are More Of The Same Than
     They Are Different ]
[ Sometimes It Also Depends On The Time Spent ]

[ Together Or Apart ]
[ Sometimes Distance Can Tug @ The Heart ]

[ As Much As We Are Different, We Are Kind Of The Same ]
[ We Have Nature To Blame ]

(525)▪︎[ Do Things Differently … 6•28•2021 ]

[ Whenever You Felt Like Taking A Walk ]
[ Around The Block ]

[ You Liked To Think Alot ]
[ & @ Times, You Liked To Be Deep In Thought ]

[ Sometimes Your Thoughts Would Travel ]
[ Sometimes Your Ideas Would Unravel ]

[ Not Every Thought Could Be Strong ]
[ Not Every Thought Was Wrong ]

[ There Were Times ]
[ When Your Thoughts Turned Into Rhymes ]

[ The Rhymes That Did Flow ]
[ Were The Times When Things Went Slow ]

[ But Were They Accurate? ]
[ Were They Exact? ]

[ Some Drifted ]
[ Those Were The One’s That Shifted ]

[ A Shift In Thought, In Words, In Topic ]
[ One Day You Were In The Woods ]
[ The Next Day You Had Been In The Tropics ]

[ Not A Barrier In Sight ]
[ No One Telling You ( THAT’s WRONG ) ]
[ ( THAT’s RIGHT ) ]

[ You Made Your Decisions On Your Own ]
[ No One There, Who Gave You A Negative Tone ]
[ Yes, That’s You ]
[ All Alone ]

[ That Is How You Like It Now ]
[ There Is Not A Single Reason To Ask How ]

[ There Is No Reason To Speak ]
[ There Is Not A Reason To Seek ]

[ Anybody Or Anything Out ]
[ No Reason To Pout ]

[ Things Are Turning Out Good ]
[ There Is Not A Thing That Was Misunderstood ]

[ That Is How Things Should Be ]
[ These Are The Things That You See ]

[ Do You Ever Do Things Different? ]
[ Do You Ever Get Stopped By A Deterrent? ]

[ Naw … ]

[ There Are Many Types Of People In The World ]
[ The Ones That Go To The Circus To Laugh @ The Clowns ]
[ & There Are The Ones That Grab The Batton & Give
     It A Twirl ]

[ When The World Gets So Heavy On My Shoulders
    I Have Trouble Standing ]
[ & When I’m Alone ]
[ Things Become So Demanding ]

[ Then You Will Find That There Are Two Different Groups
     Walking Freely ]
[ Out In Society ]

[ There Are The One’s That Look Before They Leap ]
[ & There Are Those That Always Finds A Way To Cheat ]
[ There Are Secrets That You Gave Your Word That You

[ Just To Yourself ]

     Else ]

[ An Oath That You Would Take The Secret To The
     Grave ]
[ You Give Your Word That Even Through Being Tortured
     You Would Remain Brave ]

[ There Is Always An Opposite Side Of Itself ]
[ One Goes On The Floor ]
[ While The Other Side Remains On The Shelf ]

[ Good Or Bad ]
