It’s true about life that it is short and tough,
there’s times of ease and times that are rough.
Don’t fall into this trap because you will get stuck
then nothing can help you escape; not fame nor chance nor luck.

…Life is full of greed, anger, and mistrust,
betrayal and denial of the truth is a result of this lust.
It is the bitter truth that you need to understand,
that life as you know it, will soon come to an end.
Glamor, luxuries, and the “American Dream” are all ways to keep you occupied,
so that materialism can continue to spread far and wide.

Life is really just a touch to the soul,
a spiritual existence for physical control,
an energy for the body to function,
a shield of emotions and feelings that covers the heart,
and a process of thinking within the mind.
Just remember, it may be prominent, but it’s not permanent,
and once it is gone, it will be nothing but history.

The reality of life is that it is nothing but
an illusion, a delusion and seclusion;
it’s isolation, confusion, and deception;
and nothing more than misconception or hallucination.

And if you have been trapped, deceived, confused, or deluded,
there is no known cure nor resolution concluded,
in any book,
except what God has revealed.

So open your ears, eyes, mind and heart,
and re-frame yourself and restart, because
if you got up this morning, healthy and ready to shine,
you have been given, yet another chance, for yourself to redesign,

And be thankful for this gift, for not everyone is blessed with it.
