?
You bleed, you love, you get hurt, you scream
When in pain, you cry from the insides …
You die for love and love for your fellow man

You give a hand … especially, when you’ve
No umbrella, you give’em one!
You pray and beg God to be your very best
You kneel to the skies and your God …

You feel your heart beats with God in it
You look at your soul
You look really hard
You look at your heart

… of the color of beets
Yes, is red and purple
Is God in it …To be human
You have to roar and explore …

What is to be human?
Is to be like everyone
Be naked and dumb!
Then, we are clothed and smart

And, different from everyone!
Is what we all have in common …
However, we not all born
With the same luck …

Some may be born into money …
Powers and potent parents
And some with poison
Some not …

Some with financial strength
While some, can say they born
Without a curse …
Some born with a curse?

Some lack of money
Money, not a luck!
Yea, it could be
How can that be possible?

An innocent babe born without privileges!
How unfair! Who says life is fair?
Who says, we are all equal?
It is the will of man to give your very best

To your offsprings in order to bring and spring ahead … Is a start to jump start ahead
Let’s look at a homeless man
Let’s take a new mom …

… whose husband’s died
Let’s further elaborate
A newborn …
Born without a mom

She died in childbirth
Now, a single dad …
To raise a babe …
Must wake up without a breast

As it produces its own milk
Only mom produces milk …
As this new born dad
With a new born babe

Has to risk it all
With endless love
To feed his child
For a future … to his offspring

How can you start ? To untrick a babe?
It seems like a trick on your cheeks!
It is lies in silence of cries feeling weak and trick
You do the math … and pick a lucky number

Perhaps, if you win the lottery
Your lucks starts to change
Change the locks of your doors
Now, you unlucky as everyone

Knicks at your door …
Seeking a piece of your lottery
You pray to switch back to poverty
Too late, you got your wish …

Get on your knees …
Beg your God for forgiveness
You aimed to be wealthy…
No longer seeking happiness-paper rich

As they say “You got your wish, be careful
“What you wish for, you might get it
It may come true!”
Is never too late to be extra good

You human …
Like everyone else
You will make mistakes
You will love and hate

Change your view in youth …
Never to hesitate to seek love and bury hate
Never to kill nor disregard, 10 commandments
Pray extra hard prefer to be poor and your best

Ready and be assure
To sit by the shore …
Stay quietly by the seashells
Start counting all the sands

When you finish
Start again …
You tell me
What number did you end up with?

Or, did you go to sleep
Because, you human
An impossible task
You can’t count!

All the sands …
You must leave it to God
Whose’s the only Person
Willing and capable …

Of performing such tasks
He is not human like you and I
He is more human
You may ask me why?

Because, He know our witnesses
Because, we humans’
I leave you with a message
Aim to be rich in love …

Great in spirit …
Love the Lord your mightiest
Love is all you need …
Love is peace in thoughts

Love is in abundance …
Is a blue light
Is dim …
Is never enough

Aim it …
Aim for it …
Is the greatest of the gifts
Love, love, love … love
