Ego’s growing, be carful by how much
Stay grounded, keep growing or end up loosing touch
Don’t want to loose focus
Don’t want to be materialistic or vain
We are all the same, juggling the good & the bad
How much of me will remain?
Best way to maintain it is really with your mind?
Educate, aspire & entertain, its one of a kind
Need to keep on reading
It’s my mind I’m constantly feeding
All it takes is a little believing
Your life is what you make it
Make it real so you’re not awake but just dreaming
Say what you want, I can’t read your mind
Maybe I need to ask the questions right
Look forward to what I find
The key is to regularly warm up the brain
Work it out, do the maths; it’s only a simple equation
The key is you never completely stay the same
Knowledge enlightens, come up with the right persuasion
Being very positive with life, you get a salute
May be born working class, but it’s never absolute
Life can take you far, be carful how you choose your route
You go far if you learn to turn it up, but able to press mute
- You go far if you learn to appreciate & aspire better
Don’t throw wisdom down the chute
Don’t judge a book by its cover
Judge by how ugly inside
Birds of a feather, flock together
Trust & loyalty, feel at ease, unwind

- Comment from author about the poem: This is more of a reflection than a poem. It was written at a time I developed a song writing ambition. The best way I could write endlessly & unrestricted was to write about myself, questioning and inquiring about people in general, myself as a man and life with its ideals.

It is a reflection indeed, and yet it seems most of your postings are likewise reflections.
The beginning couplet is quite the warning. (In S2L2 you mean "vain")
It is a very interesting and thought-provoking meditation.
Yes, I think the best way to maintain lies with our minds, what we believe and follow, whether we are deceived or turn aside from the Truth to something more enticing, whether we can see clearly or not.
The title sets the stage that we never want to be stuck in our ways methinks, not that we don't believe in absolutes.
It is quite the discussion. Fascinating. The usual hopeful conclusion that maybe we can escape our present "class" to higher and that we must learn to truly if possible see others and not be deceived by outward appearances.
Thanks. How do you do it? You hit the nail on the head again!! Your right "we never want to be stuck in our ways" especially when they're bad habits.
There's always more or we can be more despite words from negative individuals who try to keep us down, but never out.
wow love it
