Stroking and Rowing...       9/17/12




Life opens plenty of doors,
stubbornness closes many doors
before they ever had a fighting chance
to help the seekers of knowledge to advance;

stuck in the viscous cycle for knowing better
than their elders,
folks whom have been there and done that;

ignoring words of the wise
believing fraudulent replies and
robots internet disguise;

they designed computers after
the blueprint of the brain
so I concentrate my thoughts
and watch how the power magnifies 10fold;

amazed by the mental conditions of a person
that was always told had a mental condition;

conditioned himself to read,
learn,
and grow no matter the drama,
dilemmas or lemons
continue to duck and dodge the blows;

forever thankful to all the blessings
and life long lessons,
missing loved ones that have entered
the promise land,
but the solitude lies in the knowledge
of knowing in my heart they forever
remain and when my flesh no longer
walks this earth my spirit will reunite
with my fam and friends whom have taking
spiritual flight...

so I remain focused,
put down the smoking,
picked up the hoar's and started stroking and rowing...
