REALITY:TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

IT SEEMS LIKE ONLY YESTERDAY
ALL THOSE YEARS HAVE SLIPPED AWAY
THE DREAMS I HAD LIVE NOT TODAY
BY THE PASSAGE OF TIME THEY FELL TO DECAY.

TODAY YOU MAY LIVE TOMMOROW YOU MAY DIE
PROVE THAT MY SPEECH IS ONLY A LIE
FORTUNE WITH FAME MAY CAUSE YOU TO CRY
TELL ME THAT YOUR FACE WILL NEVER WEAR A SIGH.

JOURNEYING THROUGH THIS INTERIM LIFE
I WITNESS EACH DAY THE TRIALS OF STRIFE
FACES OF RACES CUT BY THIS KNIFE
THE CHAPTERS OF THIS LIFE BRINGS GRIEF OR DELIGHT.

TRUE POSSESSIONS:YOUR UNDYING ASSETS

LOOK INSIDE YOUR HOLY SOUL
HARKEN TO THAT WHICH HAS ITS ROLE
WISDOM SHINING LIKE A PEARL
SUBLIME THOUGHTS GREATER THAN GOLD.

BE NOT AMONGST THE ARROGANT BOLD
AS YOU READ THAT WHICH IS TOLD
KNOWLEDGE SO PREGNANT BEGETTING NO OLD
ASK THE SAGES OF THIS MODERNIZED WORLD.

ALL THAT YOU OWN ARE THE DEEDS YOU HAVE SOWN
EVERYTHING YOU OWN HAS BEEN GIVEN AS A LOAN
YOUR VOICE SHALL CHANGE ABASED IN ITS TONE
IF YOU SHOULD PONDER IN YOUR HOME.

WITH YOUR EYES YOU HAVE BEEN SHOWN
LIFE IS NOT YOURS TO CLAIM AS YOUR OWN
A TRIAL OF YOUR FAITH THIS YOU'LL HAVE TO LEARN
SO START TO COGITATE THEN YOU WILL DISCERN.

THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO CRY OR EVEN MOAN
TRUTH IS LIKE A DAGGER THAT PENETRATES YOUR BONE
IF YOU ARE THE GUILTY THEN SIMPLY MAKE A TURN
GOD ALONE IS OWNER THIS YOU LOVE TO SPURN.

WILL YOU CONSIDER THE TREASURE OF YOUR SIGHT?
ARE YOU THE OWNER? OR SOMEONE ELSE HAS RIGHTS
WILL YOU CONSIDER THE STRENGHT OF ALL YOUR MIGHT?
ARE YOU THE OWNER?OR SOMEONE ELSE HAS RIGHTS
WILL YOU CONSIDER THE WEALTH YOU HOLD SO TIGHT ?
ARE YOU THE OWNER? OR SOMEONE ELSE HAS RIGHTS
WILL YOU CONSIDER THE LAND FOR WHICH YOU FIGHT?
ARE YOU THE OWNER? OR SOMEONE ELSE HAS RIGHTS .

I HAVE REMINDED YOU ABOUT YOUR PLIGHT
SO THAT YOU MAY REACH THE GREATEST OF HEIGHTS
STOP ACTING NOW AS IF YOU ARE A MITE
YOU DEEM YOURSELF AS BEING AMONGST THE VERY BRIGHT
I HOPE MY SPEECH SHALL MAKE YOU BITE!
MY MESSAGE IS CLEAR MY WORDS ARE NOT TRITE!
