*Be The Change*

Lately I've been thinking.
I do that a lot actually.
Kind of get caught up in an alterante reality.....
....that of my dreams....
but it seems,
that when i've been trying to better those around me to believe,
all that i'm saying, to try new things,
seeking understanding, but not even knowing if I know what i mean.
And since i'm not somebody who just wants to talk that good talk, but to also walk that good walk,
I had to rest my chalk
and let God talk.
.....So i listened............



Listened to all the fight inside of me
The fight to not be who at times I see,....
..in the mirror.
'Cause the clearer I become,
the harder I fight.
At times at night, when my mind takes flight,
I think about how many times I think I'm right;
...when i'm proly not....
I mean who's to say?
All I know is that i'm not perfect,
I do have flaws.
Got a smart mouth, self conscious at times,
an attitude and temper, to top it off.

But,

I have the desire to apsire higher expectations for the levels of motivation for all those that are in my life.
And by that I mean I have a dream to achieve and expect the best form of motivation and drive from the abgels God placed in my life who I know can Fly.
I have the audacity to maintain the capacity to act classically.
I am the definition of intuition, with no comission, constantly reminiscing
on stormy weather,
And comtemplating on how to see the sun a little better.
All while not trying to speak in ways that bring my father's ancestors shame,
then talking out my neck when someone calls me out my name.
Never hittin' the club up,
'Cause i'm too busy lookin' up,
Keeping my eyes on the sunshine,
and learning to dance in the rain.....

So no longer am I going to speak about it;
of what I feel one should do.
The Word is out,
has been for some time.
Lord, I just pray that they find you.

Awhile back, I called myself a Gardener,
So now, that's what i'll be.
I have to live with love in mind, body, and soul,
reap what i sow, and
plant the seed.
I see so much chaos in this world.
Too many of God's children are lost in the world.

And I was too, at one time.
And I remember how hard myself was to find.
Then, I remembered who found me......

And with that said, I know people have to figure things out for themselves,
that's why my voice goes unheard.
So I have to BE THE CHANGE I HOPE TO SEE IN THE WORLD.
I have to be that thing, that's best for me,
and also what every one's life needs.
If God's who I solely aim to please,
And I practice to Art,
of getting on my knees,
then I can make the world a better place,
starting with me.....

And since many people tell me that my truth hurts....
i'll leave you with a throw back, ..."from the Word to the wise, water works......"
