Feelings are short lived usually, and inevitably replaced

TRAFFICKING IN FEELING

I got  GOOD  today  y’all,  GOOD   going  for  cheap!
I’m  feeling  good  and  I want  to  share  my  belief
Hoping  you  will  buy  into  my  feelings ,  offering  relief!

You  say  no  thanks  I’m  not  into  GOOD,  cuz  you  got  GRIEF
 That  is  what  you  are  selling  today,  this  is  how  we  compete
Exchanging  feelings  for  a  price  as  though  its   a  commodity
Or  even  a  sport,   maybe  an  influenza  that  is  caught 
 Taking  hold  of  our  faculty,  left  back  and  blue  blooded  in  memory

What  causes  this  cut  from  reality?   
Is  this   2b  a  state  of  permanency?
Like  feeling  under  the  weather,  whether  cloudy  or  sunny.
How  can  I   be  in  a  constant  place  of  transcendency?
If  you  ain’t  feeling  me…….Letting  go  of  all  that  I  know,  or  felt
I  knew  there  had  to  be   a   way  of  overcoming  Overwhelming  experience

So  pardon  me,  if  I  share  and  relay  an  experience,
 hoping  you  feel  me.
Understanding   that  if  you  don’t  or  can’t   to  not  take  it  personally Like  catching   feelings   from  a   hello  or   goodbye,  believing  it  deserved
 From  being  a   good  or  bad  guy,   depending  on  how  you  seemingly  are  served
Is  always  a  blessing  from  such  an  alumunus  engagement, 
 of  any  occasion
Learning  to  deal  with  and   in  feelings   of  momentary  capture  that   snags   ya.

Always  remembering  that  throwing,  catching  or  holding  feelings  is  best  temporary
 And  that  feelings  are  best  used  when  fresh  before  their  expiration,  or  else…..Feelings  can  become  contagious  and  very dangerous  when  overdosed  in  particular
So travels  of  Happiness  or  Grief  and  all  of  those  feelings  inbetween  are  just  that
Feelings  between  destinations  on  life’s  fluctuations  in   being…….
So  I  hope  you  will Learn  to  embrace  the  temporary  planes  of  feeling!

EVERLASTING LOVE  WILL  REMAIN  FOR  ETERNITY

This is cool. There is a depth here...scratching the surface alone can not give you the true meaning and would be an injustice to this piece. I like the word play in this piece...and also like how you "laced" the write with certain terms. This was a clever ride...may the kudos be with you... Cheers!

Wow....thanks again...Brother MalikPeterson....I'm honored always when you pay a visit and drop a supporting comment...ONE

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
