Needs praying for before he crashes.

The latest,


From one of the greatest,


Is that he hates himself.


I wrote this,


Because my hand I kiss.


I use to feel almost the same,


In lifes game.


However I changed my game,


Gave it a new name.


Love thy self most dearly


And sincerely.


I preach positive so strong,


Because this is where I want to belong.


And until this day I remain,


And keep myself sane.


It's all in how you train your mind.


And to you it better be trained to be more kind.


God might hate me.


Other people may hate me.


Life may hate me.


But never again will I hate myself.


Self-preservation


Should be everyones designation.


This includes the mental brain,


which keeps us sane.


Choice!


I use to take a lot for granted,


on this earth planet.


Even happiness.


The years have taught me,


Don't beat me.


Treat me like a king,


Better than doing nothing.


Positive all the way,


in my physical and mental play.


Now it's just my way!


Choice,


And not Tyson's Course.


I feel sorry for the man,


Because he's only human.


We all got our negatives,


And our positives.

Try to treat yourself like a Poet... Remember that the Poets made the



gods, and the priest made the kings in the name of the gods.



Poet, You are filling spaces on the pages of Poetry twenty-first century.



Never rest Your pen; don't let Your quills dry.
