Everything Is Connected
Beneath the stars, a symphony plays,
A tune as old as the dawn of days.
The earth hums low, the rivers sing,
The pulse of life in everything.
The roots of trees beneath the ground
Whisper secrets without a sound.
They speak to fungi, share the soil,
A quiet pact through years of toil.
The oceans sway to the moon's soft call,
Its tides a rhythm that binds us all.
The clouds exhale; the mountains breathe,
A cycle eternal we seldom perceive.

You Are Still Somebody

No matter what wrong may happen to you in your life and no matter how things may go wrong, sometimes by outside forces that you cannot control or maybe by your own poor decisions, you are still somebody.
You Are Still Somebody
Though shadows stretch and time betrays,
And dreams collapse in splintered rays,
When failure looms with mocking grin,
And hope feels foreign, locked within—
Still, you are more than pain and strife.
You are the echo of a life.
When choices weigh like heavy chains,
When guilt and sorrow carve their stains,
Remember this: the heart still beats,
Its rhythm defies all defeats.
For in the quiet pulse, you’ll find,
The ember of a steadfast mind.
The world may lash with cruel disdain,
Break promises like fleeting rain.
It may impose its random plight,
Turn morning’s gold to endless night.
Yet no storm claims your soul entire;
It cannot quench your inner fire.

Don’t Believe the Hype
They craft their words with gilded hands,
Soft whispers turning into commands,
A symphony of empty noise,
Meant to beguile and to destroy.
"Look here, look there!" the criers call,
Promising kingdoms, they offer it all.
Golden chains in dazzling light—
Freedom in shadows, bound in fright.
Don’t believe the hype, my friend,
For promises break and fashions bend.
What glitters now may rust with time,
Their truths are lies wrapped up in rhyme.

Live Your Own Life
Beneath the skies, where stars align,
A path awaits, uniquely thine.
No borrowed dreams, no shadowed light,
The truth unfolds in your own flight.
Do not be swayed by fleeting gales,
Or lured by songs of others' tales.
For every heart beats its own tune,
A quiet sun, a distant moon.
The world may press, its voice may roar,
Demanding paths you should explore.
But silence calls where wisdom grows,
And only you can choose your prose.

Mr. Lover Man
Oh, beware of the breeze on a Bahama night,
For it carries a legend, both bold and bright.
He’s the king of charm, the Caribbean’s flame,
The lover of lovers—oh yes, that's his name!
Mr. Lover Man, smooth as can be,
Struts through the islands like royalty.
Tiger-skin jacket with a golden sheen,
A panther of passion, he reigns supreme.
Thick gold chains dangle, glint in the sun,
Jeweled rings sparkling, each worth a ton.
A Panama hat perched just so on his crown,
White pleated pants—he's the talk of the town!

Alcohol Fueled Killer
In shadows cast by lamppost lights,
A predator stalks the island nights.
His weapon can be a blade or gun,
Fueled with liquid fire, the devil’s rum.
He lifts the glass with trembling hands,
A fragile man, built on sinking sands.
The amber poison, smooth and cold,
Transforms his soul, turns flesh to bold.
With every sip, the world distorts,
Morality bends, and truth retorts.
The whispers rise, the demons call,
From within the depths of his mental sprawl.

You Get What You Give
By the law of life, in ways unseen,
The balance strikes, both cruel and keen.
In the stillness of the waking dawn,
A truth unyielding, softly drawn:
The seeds you scatter, wide or thin,
Will sprout in kind, without, within.
The farmer knows, with furrowed brow,
The toil of then reflects the now.
He tills the soil, he prays for rain,
Yet knows neglect will yield him pain.
