Kindness

   

Why are we so
afraid of kindness,
you ask me?
As kids
we are shown the full extent of
kindness -
and feel it's intensity and healing magic
and then Poof-
we grow up.
Our  bubble of
love, chocolate and kindness
Blows up and disappers!
We wake up
to a cruel, swamp of
blood suckers and pain.
We become
Jaded and cynical
feeling at war with
everyone and everything
and sadly like many soldiers
in the war for existence
in an unkind hating world -
we stop being kind too.

Think
how beautiful
our world could be
If we all made peace
with one another.
If we could all share
the gift of compassion
with everyone around us.
So why are we so afraid of kindness?
Cause deep down
We are all little kids
Who crave it so much!

Time doesn't wait for anyone

Time doesn't wait for anyone
Not even for you and me.
Time doesn't wait for anyone,
That's just how it'll always be.

Maybe in your mind you
can slow down
time just for  us
But in the real world -
Time waits for no one.
Not for you or for me.

Time  moves so fast
That if we don't hold on
to  each other
We'll just be left behind.

Time doesn't wait for anyone.
Love it. Hate it.
Time doesn't care.
It's moving forward.
Always forward.
with us or without us-
So hold on to me.

Time doesn't wait for anyone
And doesn't care about the past.
At all.
Unlike us.
Who always cares and remember
And always look more backwards
Than forwards.
So if you don't want to be left behind
We got to move on with the times.
I don't want to go
To the unknown future alone -
So please
Hold on to me.

You Will Become

Do you want to know Who you will become?

You will become the person 
you hated most as a young person.

Face it.

Accept it.

Admit it.

Learn.

If you hated greedy pigs.

One day you too will end up
living in your own mud  pond
blinded 
by your own desire for more

If you hated cry babies 
you will end up whining 
more than anyone you ever met.
If you hated abusers
Good chance 
you too will become an abuser.

If you hated your mother or father 

you will become them.

If you hated traitors

You will end up 
committing treason.

If you hated law and order

And thought 
you were the most rebellious -

You will end up 
working for the law.

dedicating your life 
to crushing rebellious souls
Like you so loved to be.

If you hated 
people who don't fight enough 
to keep their marriage alive

You will end up divorced.

Or just a regular betrayer
of the marriage oath.

If you hated with a vengeance 
a certain 
religion or race or skin color -

You will probably marry them

Or at least sleep with them-

Hating your own hypocritical soul

and uncontrollable attractions
to that which you hated in vain.

If you hated fat people

You will end up fat.

If you hated people 
who aren't straight

You too will end up 
much less straight than a ruler.

Listen,

The most important thing is

Don't hate yourself.

It's not your fault 
you turned into 
that which you have always despised.

That's just how all humans roll.

We dread what we will become
so we start hating it early on

Hoping our feelings 
will change our destiny

Which we know we can't change.

Never let anyone step on you!

Never let anyone disrespect you.
EVER!

Never stay quiet when anyone

Even playfully

Hints you are not smart

Or inexperienced

Or that  luck brought you here

 rather than your hard work and qualifications.

Never let anyone step on you!

Never let anyone plant doubts in your mind.

About yourself or your family.

It's just a more subtle way to destroy you.

Always remember

You are indeed magnificent.

You deserve to be here.

But only on one condition.

That you will never let anyone step on you

And that you promise to always fight

For your right to be here.

Always.

Cause everyone wants to be here

And those that don't fight

Eventually get pushed out.

Welcome to your new home

Among those that know what they are truly worth.

You are everyone's equal here.

You are among those who will never be stepped on 

ever again!
