Keeping temperament down, refusing to foolishly knock around. Only being firm enough, without getting too tough. Refusing to reach out, taking a more peaceful route.
Keeping control, staying out of trouble goal. Trouble cost, adds to the loss. Peace pays, brightens our days.
The path of least resistance, increases ones subsistence. Makes a person feel better, when self control is to the letter. Chiseled in stone, not unnecessarily picking the bone. A good defense, backed by a potent offense. Refraining from going on the attack, unless it's true ly a necessity to fight back.
Daring to be different.
Being a person of peace.
Pays off.

I tried that whilst being hit last Dec, the police arrested me?
These song lyrics and art are tales, tides and twinkling lights - tunes telling stories of warmth and sun, city and sand, paths that lead, and the coins we can keep in the Karma Bank. Spirit's been bypassed for sorrow, dreaming of a better tomorrow .
