NO MISTAKE


make no mistake,
have done my time,
toil and troubled life.

body worn and ragged
from chasing that almighty dime.
have reached that place in life

where resting this old body
suits me just fine.
sure ain't no crime, no longer

chasing that damned dime.
and make no excuse for doing nothing.
doing nothing a friend of mine.


intelligence is boss
and those with intelligence
rule the kingdom
and everything therein
everything!


perpetual state of being
lost in potential mist
with incentive towards flight
with paraphernalia needed
to catch a fleeting moment


entire lifetime is in study.
everyday we learn something.
albeit appear slight,
seemingly insignificant,

still becomes part of us.
part of our total makeup;
every single day of our lives.
never overlook the obvious.



double-edged words
shape but laced with honesty
honest speaks volumes

without honesty, we are lost
we are empty
we will, must ride honesty
toward truth and beyond

find out way
through dark and dismal
through emptiness
towards the light of day.



have seen that ghost,
that lurking ghost,
so very many fear.

no here, no, not here.
no fear shown here,
oh ghost so near.

hurry along now,
old lurking ghost
in your search of fear;
wind find no fear here.
