Whatever You Feed
It Grows
Do you feed the negative?
Don’t become pessimistic.
Narrow minded.
One sided.
You can’t grow from always complaining.
This is not up-lifting.
Don’t hold onto the temptation.
Leave the old ways behind.
Don’t push people away.
Hard road, age will turn gray.
To grow is to change.
I’ve always been impatient.
Feed the positive.
Not the negative.
A brighter day.
Up-grade.
Carry the lamp in the dark.
Be wise. Complain no more.
Turn off the noise.
Become your own man.
Your own way.
Strive to grow.
Wisdom will show.
Philippians 2:14
Fun is being care free.
Joining others together in activities
Filled with glee.
Adventures high
in varied joint festivities
We try!
Each ones
Proclivities
Done!
Fun is being care free.
In varied joint festivities
Glee!

kissing the night away: huh? huh?
(woman) thanks for the flowers and candy: I was just joking

(man) smells great what is it?
(woman) beef and potatoes and parsnip's, some greens and sweet potatoes.
(man) what kind of beef it looks a little strange?
( woman) it braised tongue: I thought you'd like something different, God knows I do, you will like the flavors your mouth has tasted!
( man) that's the same thing they told Aunt Fanny, before she
got hitched to Aunt Hick-up, and you know what happened their!
give the gravy to the dog and I'm taking you out on the town.
( woman) what about the tongue? I what to watch you and the tongue,
( man) save it for later
( woman) I have heard that one before!

What ever happened to BIRTH CONTROL?
Thirty million baby girls
murdered since Roe vs Wade.
The streets are lit in pink
they say to celebrate.
Child sacrifice on demand
from conception up to birth.
The devil is dancing in the streets!
Life has no more worth...
Whatever happened to that moment
In which I was so in love
Whatever happened to that moment
Where I could never get enough
Of you and I and moments shared
So happy free and wild
Perhaps a time left in the past
Would do best to feature now
Whatever happened to you and I
Where did our passion go
Whatever happened to us before them
Today it doesn’t show

What Ever Shall I Do
Don’t look to long behind the curtain
The wizard hasn’t got a clue
Don’t follow a rabbit to a hole in the ground
The grave is all he’ll do
Don’t sit at the table of the mad hatter
Changing seats with worthless words
And most of all don’t follow a step into the dark woods
Don’t wait for tinker bell to take you to the promise land
You might find a hook has caught you and the alligators are close at hand
If you find your short
Then not
Don’t listen to a smoking worm
And never let the jabberwockies found out what you learned
Don’t let mice scare you from your sense of time
If your house gets bullied as it often can
Don’t expect a super to fly in and take you by the hand
Don’t let a basket of collected stuff be your only game
The crumbs left behind someone else will claim
And if you want to follow
Remember what happens to sheep
And don’t forget to be contrary you will never loose sleep
The twist of each story is to get what you have
And keep you in a place of
Never Never land
Seems like a dream
Has over taken us now
Tossed in this turmoil
I'm not quite sure how
We've all become numbers
In this nameless place
Have pity on the whole human race
We've spent years of our future
Trying to run from the past
Relying on memories
That never did last
With so many questions
Who can we ask
Where are the morals that we used to have
Whatever happened to the morals in life
We opened the window
They flew into the night
Can anyone tell me how we'll ever get by
Without the morals that once held us so tight
The fewer the heartbeats
The shorter the time
The deeper the cavern
The harder the climb
The more that we look for
The less that we find
Of the morals that we left behind
Whatever happened to the morals in life
We opened the window
They flew into the night
Can anyone tell me how we'll ever survive
Without the morals that we once had in life
It was gettin' late,
bot dere was one ting, I've been wantin ta see
Is whot ever 'appened to Wee Luck McGee
So by nature I traveled, to the pub way 'cross town
pulled up a stool and laid me coins down
I first had a pint, then another to follow
Und just a wee whiskey, barely a swallow
When I 'eard a door slam, and in pops McGee
Walkin' and wavein' his way right to me
"McGee you old sod, where've you been" I inquired
"Spendin' me nites filled with lust and desire"
McGee then sat down on the stool to me right
Popped in a smoke and asked for a light
"You dog" I declared, I was surely amazed
A man of his age should surely be praised
Dat's wen 'E produced two pills from 'is coat
And said pay attention you'll want to take note
I first take Vigara as part of me scheme
Den an Ambien to meet, the girl of me dreams
Preach to me baby how you see God everywhere
and yet it's all too obvious, you don't see Him here?
I must be a radical, is my skin not right?
Why is it you preach to me if God is in your sight?
Personally I care not [a wit?] for your beliefs
just leave me mine and don't pass along
your judgments and your grief.
I see God in everything in you in me in trees.
I'd never think to tell you, you have the wrong beliefs.
By claiming, you are righteous and you have found the way;
you are being prideful, I wonder what God will say?
I talk to God's entirety, the She, the He, the WE …
they say that each of us, should let the other be.
Enjoy your revelations, shine in the Light
open your mind to diversity; it's a celestial delight!
For every time you claim you're right
you make another wrong ...
Please for the love of God
sing another song.
What ever i do
is never enough for you
What ever i say is
always wrong with you
When i cry it is
right for you
When i laugh it is
wrong for you
My heart is empty
because of you
I want to be alone
because of you
What ever i do
it is because of me
Why does it happen that we lose it when ,
we need it the most,
It is difficult to regain, what we have
actually lost..,
The situation becomes so unpredictable,
That we arent actually able,
To gather the reasons For it,
And we bear the loss every bit,
It becomes even worse when it can't be
shared,
The inner feelings we experience
makes us scared,
We ponder over the situation
And try concluding our tension
With any silly explanation,
But this is just to curb our depression,
Our mind keeps working constantly,
We aren't able to set freely,
As certain things affect us deeply.!
Oh Lord!
I wish to get the answers to my queries,
As there are million issues my heart
carries,
Like........
Did it happen bcoz I was being bad to
some one,?
Or
Did it happen bcoz u wanted my troubles
to shun,?
Or
Was it actually my fate?
Or
Was it fixed to occur on this date?
I do not know how to forget?
But
I believe in one thing
"Whatever happens, happens for the best"
It's funny when people think they have changed,
but they really haven't.
How they try to make people believe they have,
who they trying to kid.
Then they get all defensive about it when you disagree.
Well excuse ME...
The fake imaginary they plaster everywhere,
who you trying to be
I've changed, I'm not like that anymore.
what ever....
Is it me,
or are a lot people just really fake.
There's a saying that come to mind,
lay with dogs, you get there fleas.
Think about that,
next time you front me.

I'm crawling twords
the emptiness
My shallow
darkend thoughts
It's like something
you've known
to be true
but then you find
It's
not.
James ..........
Praise him for his mighty acts. Praise him
According to his excellent greatness
Let everything that has breathe praise the Lord.
In all we say and do, whatever state we’re in
He’s still mighty to save. In him we live, move and
Have our being, his precious life he gave.
God’s love is higher than the highest mountain,
Deeper than the deepest sea. He could have called
Ten thousand angels, but he died alone for you and me.
What more can Jesus do, to prove his love for you and me,
Once aliens and stranger’s rooming the earth,
Thank God for sending Jesus to give us new birth.
What ever you call it it's great
when your around it you feel great
when you breath you can't escape it
when i touch it i feel numb
you can't see it
you can't hear it
you have to trust it
you have to accept it
you have to realize it
it can be a person
it can be a thing
but whatever you call it
i know its love
