It Pays To Stay In the Moment
Yesterday was yesterday.
And today is tomorrow's past.
That's why it pays to stay in the moment,
To appreciate what is for what it is...
Since nothing about it is going to last.

That They Did Not Expect
I'm confused!
If he has been labelled a fool...
Why are they upset?
'He apparently enjoys it.
And that they did not expect.
He has made being a fool,
Something to respect.'

One Fat Rat Cat
Corporations
Banks
Utilities
Oil and tanks
All
Will come to fit
Snuggly
In one hand
Pawed within the claws
Of one fat rat cat
And that is the way
Things will be handled
Like that

Take Back That Rapping Of Smack
Take back that rapping of smack,
With a smothering it up discovered as substance.
And make it more than substandard rehash,
To pass as something fresh no one has before tasted.

Punished By Fame and Talents
Punished by fame and talents...
Leaves cries for help unheard.
A rest from this is eventually sought.
It is granted.
And the heavens rejoice.
Although touched hearts are emptied.

Exiting the Infighting
When opposition begins to arise,
Against those facts to be believed?
The best advice to minimize doubters...
Is to remove them from sight.
By exiting the infighting,
And leave.

Selling Themselves Out
After selling themselves out,
They remain dumbfounded.
No one has asked for a raincheck.
No inquisitive questions posed.
And no one seems to be concerned,
About availability.

Until They Are Made To Feel The Sting
The significance of anything happening,
Is more meaningful when it directly affects...
The lives of those at the onset are not interested,
Until they are made to feel the sting.

Lips 'Eventually' Shut Quick
To rush is to stumble.
What walking is to crawl.
And lips 'eventually' shut quick,
To someone told they know it all!
Realizing they do not...
When their back is against the wall.

Ask Again Those Questions
Why is there so much turmoil,
And problems escalating today?
Find a mirror.
And stay fixed in front of it.
Then ask again those questions.
I bet you will find a solution quick.
