Keeps poetic cats like me very humble.
When the struggle tries to get the best
Somehow we still find ways to smile through the test.
Even though times get hard
I try to keep my smile on guard.
So many things to rob me of my joy-
Entanglements meant to make life hard to enjoy.
My tear soaked smile has grown a muscle-
No dimples but biceps in my cheeks reflect my hustle
Just to keep a smile on my face through the struggle
Till we all get to Paradise and smile together with no trouble.
Oh what a day it will be
When we all can smile together freely
But I don't have perfect integrity
So sometimes I need MY POETS to help me.
Ground me.
Sustain me.
And sharpen me.
Because if I let it the world would grind me…
Dull.
Void of the spontaneous spirituality that truly defines me.
The better inner part of you and me.
See, it's the US we don't see that truly defines us.
Better than the superficial measures of success.
Better than titles we fight to earn from us to give to us.
So much better than the things we use to divide us.
It's the realization of this station
That allows me to smile through my situation
And you can accuse me of all kinds of hateration
Cause I'm not just blaming someone else because they are CAUcasian.
Nooo! I'm smiling through the consequences of my own decision making.
I'm full to the brim with excuses
All kinds of personal abuses
Just like the drug addict uses
Poison to masquerade the path he chooses.
I've been fighting in the dark to find light
But if I let my light shine I'll have light.
There is no brighter light than light from within
The soul of a real man when he is reaching for his spiritual height.
A light that no pain, no depression, no jealousy, and no lie
Can turn into night.
And that's one of the only things I know
Because there's a lot I don't know
Like where and if I'll be tomorrow.
Will I have my job? I don't know.
Will I have my health? I don't know.
Will I have my friends? I don't know.
Will I have my mind,
Make it through 2008 to see 2009?
I don't know.
But I'll tell you what I do know!
I know that inside of us is a beautiful light.
Divine Light.
Love's Light.
I LIKE this piece. For me, it really conveys the way I see the spirits I am sharing this Realm with. We are creatures of Light. It's just like Yoda said. We are so much more than "this crude matter" we use against each other. What is it inside of us, this "thing" we call life that we can't touch but we can take, give, destroy, and create? It's worth more than money. People kill to defend it. In the same vein, we fly "billions of $$$ worth of food and aid" over billions of starving people. Why? Why do we mass produce unnecessary goods and services to the detriment of family structure, the ecosystem, and our children's prospects of having a planetary home? As a case in point, please look at two things on a global level.
1) The gross financial profits of the Oil Industry. Masses of resources going to just a few. Why?
2) The understandable, yet also understandably disputable, Wal-Mart profit margin versus the stifling wages they pay their workers. Not to mention the fact that there is never a cashier available on Friday night or Sunday after Worship and you wanna just run in and out but there are 10 customers per cashier Why with that kind of profit would a company not pay it's employees much better? Are human beings and ALL of their dreams not worth that?
Perhaps you wonder if I ever have or would work for Wal-Mart. I did briefly on a temporary basis. But I also have done things like work in a hotdog plant grinding pork hearts and on top of Double Tree in San Jose all day in the middle of August, pushed a lawn mower through 90 degree weather and 90% humidity in the heart of Arkansas and dug a trench and put up a fence in freezing winds at Memphis International Airport and yes, of course, I did the fast food thing back during High School in Muskegon. First it was Burger King. Then it was Wendy's. By graduation in 1995 I finally made my way to MacDonald's. That was a brief stint too cuz I was ALREADY tired of workin'. Now that I'm 31, I'm VERY tired of workin' but I'm not as rebellious as I was in 1995. Thank God. Bills gotta be paid, right lol.
It's been a long and arduous journey through the "lower class" side of the Corporate American struggle. I have seen a lot of different kinds of people. Some liked me. Some hated me. I like some of them. For the most part I loved them all, though. Somewhere deep within my Quorizmatic Aquarian circuit board I got hardwired with the idea that people working to live doesn't make sense when everything we have was here before either the evolutionary process took place or God put Adam in the Garden of Eden or Aliens put us here or whatever you believe about our origins occurred. WE DON'T HAVE TO STRUGGLE TO SURVIVE.
Everything on this planet should be free. Technology has proven she can handle the job. We can let families take months off and food will still be harvested and homes will still be standing. Stress off the hearts of mankind will allow us all to finally just take a deep breath and LIVE. Isn't that what we SHOULD be doing? LIVING? As long as we keep allowing Corporate America and other powerful entities to facilitate this genocidal stress on us then they will continue to profit off of our fallout. How so? Prescription drug costs. Mental health treatment costs. On the job death, dismemberment, and exhaustion. Divorce. Teen suicide and pregnancy. Parental/elder neglect. This is nowhere near living. And we know this. This is why myself, and I know others, get so tired of all the rhetoric. We talk and talk and talk about the cost of this and the cost of that. Didn't Jesus say something like if your eye is causing you to stumble in getting into the Kingdom of God then you should tear it out? Well if the lack of money is causing so many of the problems we are having, such as keeping schools and colleges of all things open, but we have an abundance of money for wars we shouldn't be in, why cant we reevaluate the way we disperse basic natural and artificial resources and concentrate on nurturing the higher spiritual side of all humans by facilitating the existence of healthy relationships centered around the power and strength of love and get the stumbling block of MONEY out of the way?
This is what the X and Y generational creatures of LIGHT have to do. We have to find that inner spark that takes us to the next step in the revelationary process. We have never seen what effect a society where dominance and greed do not exist has on powers of the mind and body when set free as I am suggesting. What would it be like to know your society-which was the actual governing body-always had your back? Survival was never an issue. I know parents are like YEAH RIGHT! Yall think I'm trippin I know. But this is just how I see it. Stays on my mind constantly when I think about how much I would LOVE to travel the world with my children or take a ride in a spaceship with them. We all should be able to. It's a beautiful planet we live on. Don't you and yours deserve to see it too.......
We CAN do this and MUCH LOVE to you all!!
Your Brother,
Quorizma....
