(316)▪︎[ The Real Thing … 2026 ]

[ Life Can Be As Fragile As The Petals Of A Rose ]
[ Your Story Book Can Close ]
[ Because You Think That The World Ends @ The Tip Of Your  Nose ]

[ If That Is The Path That You Choose ]
[ Than It Is Common Sense That You Lose ]
[ Because When Someone Spells Out This Simple Fact ]
[ You Refuse ]
[ To Act ]

[ Actions Speak Much Louder Than Saying One Word ]
[ You Could Be Softly Talking ]
[ & Not Be Heard ]

[ Actions Are Not Heard, But They Are Seen ]
[ Even Emotions Can Be Nice Or Mean ]
[ Or Somewhere In-Between ]

[ When People Get Really Old ]
[ Some Get Bold ]
[ While Others Turn Bitter & Cold ]

[ They Push Their Loved Ones Away ]
[ It Takes Alot Of Talking ]
[ To Convince Them To Stay ]
[ & Go Walking ]

[ Life Can Also Be Defined By The Moments That We Don’t See Coming ]
[ You Can Face Them Down ]
[ Or Take Off Running ]
[ Around & Around ]

[ Searching ]
[ & Hurting ]

[ Because Every Moment Should Count ]
[ Even As The Pressures Mount ]

[ You Should Enjoy Everything ]
[ Even When You Feel That You Don’T Have Anything ]
[ Even Though Most People Feel ]
[ That The Almighty $ Is King ]
[ If You Surround Yourself With People Who Are Real ]
[ Money Does Not Mean A Thing ]

[ It Is So Hard To Keep Treading Water, When The Waters Are
     So Rough ]
[ Keeping Your Head Up, When Life Gets So Tough ]

[ I Try To Rely On Others For My Meals & Care ]
[ Sometimes, When I Reach Out ]
[ Nobody Is There ]

[ I Cannot Keep Reaching Out, When I Have No Luck ]
[ I Cannot Buy Much, If All I’ve Got Is A Buck ]

[ Afterall, It Is The Almighty Dollar, That Makes The World
     Go Around ]
[ Sometimes It Is So Hard To Keep My Feet, Planted Firmly
     On The Ground ]

[ So Much Wrong Is Going On In The World, Right Now ]
[ You Look Sideways @ Someone & They Have A Cow ]

[ Actually More & More Simple Disputes Are Settled With
     Gun Fire ]
[ Every Which Way You Look ]
[ Someone, Is Being Called A Liar ]

[ Some People Have Actually Obtained An Allergy, With Sitting
     Down With Someone & Telling The Truth ]
[ It Is Like A Cavity, Overtaking A Front Tooth ]

[ Things Are Getting Way Out Of Hand, With How We Deal
     With Each Other ]
[ Kids Are Growing Up, Disrespecting Their Mothers ]

[ Whatever Happened To Lovin’ Thy Neighbor ]
[ Or Did That Go By The Wayside, Like Child Labor? ]

[ Marriages Are Being Thrown Away As Easily, As An Old Bic
     Pen ]
[ & Then, They Will Get Married & Divorced Again ]

[ No One Gets As Invested, Like They Used To Do ]

[ Others, Are In It For The Long Run ]
[ Those, Are The Couples, That Makes Being Married Fun ]

[ Those Types Of People Live Better & Live Longer ]
[ They Love Life ]
[ So Their Relationships, Are Stronger ]

[ Some People Float In & Out Of Our Lives ]
[ Just Like Some Guys Carry Guns ]
[ While Others Carry Knives ]

[ People Are As Different To Each Other Like Two Different
     Fingertips ]
[ Or The Imprint, Of Two Lips ]

[ As Different As Two Snowflakes ]
[ The Differences Between Pies & Cake ]

[ Things Are Vastly Different ]
[ & People Can Be So Indifferent ]
