    Realizing

    How many of us take the time to think about the moments that we grow up?
    To stop and realize the difference between the man of moments ago and the man of right now
    The moment that you choose not to try to be cool but start doing the right thing and be cool.
    It's embarrassing when you realize that all this time you have been a fool.
    You played the part of an asshole for so long that you actually became that person.
    You let the fantasy person become your reality
    Your mind played tricks on you
    While you were taking the time to belittle people
    God was making you small in front of all those people
    And you are just now seeing what these people have been seeing your whole life
    Well maybe not your whole life but for the last 10 years
    And now that you realize that you have nothing
    It makes you think about all the things you did
    and said to people
    that have come back to slap you right in the face
    It becomes easier for you to understand the reason that you smoke
    weed
    It makes it right for you to smoke weed even when the government tells you that it's not right to smoke.
    You smoke because it brought you to that moment...
    that moment of truth between you and yourself.
    You looked at yourself and began to examine
    the direction of your life and the direction that you have just come from
    To think about your value of people in your life and their value of you 
    It's sad to realize that the value of all that adds up to little or nothing
    You just wanna grab all those moments back out of the hands of the past and make them better for the future steps of your son and daughter
    The  path that you would now prepare for them wouldn't have  them exhausted when they became President of the United States
    Your kids would speak of you not from pain and hatred
    but from love and undeniable joy!
    It's not too late.
    God forgives all
    Everyone is entitled to keep trying
    until the fat lady starts singing.
    So in the mean-time, between time
    Stay real my brother
    Pray my brother
    Let God lead your way
    and become that Better Man

    Thanks for the compliment. I didn't think that anyone would like it. I'll tell you a secret...I was high and writing this to myself!!!

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
