Life Lesson Rhymes

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Lesson #1:Don't die before death.

You can die years before your heart stops beating;

when you stop laughing, when you stop believing.

You can live years after you cross the finish line.

breathing in the words you scribbled.

You are love, you are light, you are hope.

You are the intricate designs of a kaleidoscope;

today and tomorrow

peppered with joy yet tightly bound with sorrow.

Lesson #2:Don't be greedy for money.

One day they will choke.

With no love, laughter, or choice

For those who plant seeds-

Shall harvest tall weeds of greed.

They will choke on the $$|green note|$$

Lesson #3: Know definitions.

If they hurt you for getting mad.

Pack your bags and leave my love-

That’s not love.

That’s a red flag.

Lesson #4:Be Bold. Be Bare.

We dress our soul in clothes.

What we tend to hate about ourselves, someone loves most.

Why do we have to hide who we really are?

Why are labels the way to win hearts?

We are a magic trick.

We only choose to show others the side we pick.

Yes and no like the poles of a battery.

We have to learn to close the gap between dreams and reality.

You and I we are all related.

Besides, the most beautiful a soul can be is naked.

Lesson #5:Kindness without a motive is rare.

If the economy was solely based off the scarcity of rare commodities,

gold would be worth pennies.

The market would declare loyalty its currency

and sell stocks of kindness.

Lesson #6: Everyone does not get a happy ending.

What happens when

Cinderella doesn't fall in love with a prince?

A kiss doesn’t wake Aurora from her coma?

The Beast gets charged with abduction?

The ugly duckling doesn’t turn into a swan?

Lesson #7:You aren't as free as you'd like to believe.

We are slaves shackled not by iron but by doubt.
