He wanted

He wanted it all
He wanted Everything

And through his sons
He found even more

Better

Better
To live in the moment
With a woman
Than to revel
In your solitude

who loved you
without regard

immerse

Immerse

Immerse yourself 

Immerse Your Self

In what you do not know

What you do not understand

And what you prejudge

That is the only way you grow

Goodness

There is goodness in everyone. It is just with some people, you need a chainsaw and a blow torch to dig down deep enough to see it.

Answered

Some questions are answered with affirmative

Some questions are answered with negative 

Still, other questions are answered with apathy and by default the answer is No

If you cannot answer with either a positive or negative response, you have by default, answered No

Far too people who use this strategy understand this concept and far fewer who refuse to answer the question realize they have, by default, taken the negative direction. Life does not wait for, "I am not yet ready."  If a road accident presents directly in your path, you have a split second to choose your reaction. Not choosing a reaction, still directs the path of your car. You did nothing to alter its path. You answered the question, by inaction. I do not want to live my life by chance and my own inactions. I want to sit in the front seat, my hands around the steering wheel, turn signals, ignition, lights and mostly my foot on the gas and away from the break pedal. 

Because if I am going to get there, I want to drive the bus!

I'll write

I'll write what I'll write

And say what I please

I've stood on my feet

And dropped to my knees

I'll kneel to no man

But a woman I would

I'd bring back those gone

If only I could 

I'll live out my life

Be it days or be years

I'll laugh and I'll cry

And both causing tears

I stand with my brothers

Arms locked in arms 

I step up before them

Protect them from harm

I'll give to my sons

All the love that I can

And hopefully teach them

What is truly a man

But one thing I'll do

Or perhaps I'll do not

Is not laugh at myself

Even if I am caught
