ALL TOO MANY OF US


Just give me someone I can demonize, another one to idolize, I'm set. I know I'm right, I'm cool, I'm cute and wise, I'm sure as anyone could ever get! What I believe is fact, beyond all doubt; I'm right, and all my enemies are wrong. Reality, I don't know Much about, 'cause my attention span ain't very long! So, please, indulge and entertain me now, I'm very tired of thinking things so much. And You don't Make much Sense, bud, anyhow; I'm much too busy stayin' outta touch!”

BEING KIND IS SMARTER


 “Though mischief may ta jaded hearts appeal, it cannot help our inner wounds ta heal. It only will perpetuate our pain; friends, doing evil simply isn't sane!”

TOO MANY SPICES MAKE YOU SICK


(to someone focusing on unwholesome things)

“Too much attention paid ta crazy stuff! Of bullshit, some can't seem ta get enough. Your jaded mental tongue can't taste what's sweet; what Is this cockamamie crap ya eat? Too many evils tickling your brain, and blessings disappearing down the drain! Your mental food is way too over-spiced! Why not surrender all ta Buddha-Christ?”

Note: “Paying attention to what is not is like spice for your brain food.”

TO A DESPERADO


 “Ya don't feel loved? Now, love's a basic need, and self-indulgence can't real love replace. Might Be, if You would git from meanness freed, the need for change you're gonna need ta face! What once was best just might no longer be; that just might be a fact ya should accept. Consult the Lord, and maybe then you'll see: some things must be got Rid of, some be kept...” Ask the Lord for wisdom!

ABOUT THAT HABIT

Your clever trick is causing you some harm. Dig: self-abuse ain’t never healthy stuff. I’m sure that tickle holds a certain charm, but love brings JOY – why treat your body rough?”
