Point of View

Everyone is viewing the same point
But each with his own view point
And arguments without a point
Relationships that disappoint
Because no one sees the sense of a midpoint
Each time they reach a checkpoint
Hoping to find an endpoint
It’s the source they can’t pinpoint
It’s like their minds being held at gunpoint
And they pray, hoping self-control they can reappoint
But they still don’t see the point.

Now in an argument there are things to think of
There is more than one point to beaware of
But at the same time points to beware of
There will be things you’ll be accused of
But have faith; there is nothing to be afraid of
Your point of view is nothing to be ashamed of
So you focus on a point to take advantage of
And so of the main points be observant of
Then you hit with a point they could never conceive of
Or think you capable of
When viewing points from many views, just be mindful of
The things you must be careful of

Everyone has their own view
Not sure what to do so their experience they review
Using knowledge in their purview
Life is the feature not the preview
So sit in front the mirror and start your interview
Before problems brew and stew, of your life take an overview
Cause when the shit starts to spew and blocks your view
Make sure you think of each point’s view before you counterview
And that’s just my opinion, my point of view.

Beauty

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder
I saw her beauty before I held her,
But the blindness of society holds her
Defining what’s pretty
In another’s eyes that’s ugly
Discriminatory,
Too black, too fat,
Nose too wide and too flat,
Body type don’t fit the stats
Hair too nappy, cut your locks
Delilah, the best liar,
To fit in, silicone gets stuffed in,
There’s a ban on plastic so what you still doing,
Now beauty is extremely thick or extremely thin
Depending from which angle you’re looking
Or how tight the clothing,
For those who want revealing
And those in need of fluff concealing
Calling it toning
Pitch Black turn browning and still transitioning
Clorox for bleaching, Colgate for whitening, turmeric for coloring
Hiding from the sun, no melanin
Depleting the pigment in their skin
What’s happening
If beauty is in the eye of the beholder
What is the beholder’s definition of beauty and what is he beholding…
Does the beholder need glasses to correct the blurred vision of beauty that he’s seeing
Why tamper with a masterpiece,
God’s creation and in my heart I know he’s pleased,
So why modify the beauty I am to please mere mortal beings.

Random Thoughts – Questions

Why is Luke warm and not hot, or cold for that matter?
And have you ever wondered if you can cry under water?
Random thoughts provide good questions but no reasonable answer
Like since you can lock up and lock down, have something go uphill and downhill
Close up and close down, shouldn’t we be able to open up and open down
Or why do they have opposites when there are terms that defies this,
Like why isn’t shut up the opposite of shut down?
Or how is it that fat chance and slim chance means the same.
It’s the language that’s to be blamed,
Having so many words that should be different, yet they mean the same
Like thaw and unthaw,
Random thoughts that can leave you in awe,
Think about it, if you move from being aweless to awesome,
do you eventually get to be awful?
Or could you be so handsome that you eventually become a handful…

Think about this as your mind drifts, when you’re divorced are your in-laws now out-laws?
Or Would it be safe to say that a masterpiece is a fraction of masterful,
Random thoughts can consume the mind,
Coming up with questions with the answers being a puzzling find,
Like why they are called steps outside but stairs inside
Or If loose lips sink ships, does tight lips keep them afloat?
In our daily life we wonder about,
With thoughts that we dare not let come out,
Like have you ever wondered who or what time is telling on?
I have so many random thoughts, this list could get extra long
So, let me ask one final question,
What would happen if you get scared half to death twice?

Box

Behind their lies the truth lies,
Hiding the truth between the lines
Calling them fairy tales and nursery rhymes,
Afraid of the bible because it tells of signs,
To lead the blind, they tell lies in their vision,
Posting alternate facts on their television
Using a box to misguide the nation
Saying think outside the box because they have our brain boxed in
They put us in the box then instruct us on how we should be thinking,
They say stay on the inside, thinking of out,
Mind like a prisoner who wants to get out,
Confined to this box like prison bars,
Trying but can’t hide these boxed in scars,
Having fore-telling visions of a future lost
If the borders of this box can’t be crossed.
So they feed us impaired knowledge with our vision retarded,
Saying we have a handicap due to lack of knowledge,
While life poses a constant challenge,
We’re locked in the box seeking revenge,
The only way to gain the advantage,
Is to stand outside the box and be outstanding,
And while outside the box apply keen thinking,
Not of the inside or the borders the box provide,
But of the opportunities that the box tried to hide
So next time they say we are in a box, ask to be put in a boxing ring,
At least then you know you’d have to fight your way out to win.

I salute you…

Girl, when mi see you mi affi fi stand up,
Out of due respect to the goddess before me, I have to rise,usually by surprise, in an instant my temperature rise,
And I must get up, standing hardened, by the rushing blood coursing through my veins,
I salute you
My girl when mi see yu mi affi stand up
Cause it would be embarrassing to sit while standing
And I will remain standing until you exit.

Mind

It’s far from their mind
Fathers saying those genes aren’t mine
The jacket was never mine,
so never mind…
Mothers who don’t mind

Daughters saying “is a man mi want to get mine,
Don’t mind if him a never mine”.

Not realising she’s a gold mine,
She has no goals in mind
So she never mind
Giving up peace of mind
For a Sugar daddy,
who’s saying “that piece is mine”.

Son saying “give me a gun to hunt mine”
Education far from the top of mind
Society saying “never mind,
They don’t have strength only bad mind”
No sense coming with nonsense in mind
Destructive thoughts from a destructive mind
They must be out of their mind
Thinking we’re not of sound mind
Watch as I sound mine
Exploding like a landmine,
Talent, I’m going to master min
Show the power of a mastermind
No matter how evil trys to undermine
Never mind,
With thoughts and efforts combine
Seek and ye shall find,
God will give you peace of mind
So never mind,
God knows the devil’s design,
And already have plans in mind
So when they see you rise from the thoughts of your mind
With a different mindset and new thoughts set in mind
Lay out your options so when you change your mind
It’ll Blow their mind,
And never mind.
