a wealth of knowledge, emptiness, fulfillment, living life like it's golden, my richest come not from this world

When I was poor, I made poor choices.

I’m not wealthy yet I’m the richest I’ve ever been in my life.

I mean, I have a million dollar mindset mainly in part of the generous souls that took time to deposit a little love in my life.

Thumbing through the memory banks of life, it’s safe to say my rich spirit is an accumulation of the wealth of knowledge I received from the voices.

As one may never travel further than one’s thoughts, I’d advise you to pay close attention to the books that you read and the people that you meet.

There’s so much to be gained when you take an interest in others;
As the adage goes: you tend to help yourself each time you help another.

When you consider the human race and withdraw the hate, you’ll see that we’re all sisters and brothers;
If education is the passport from poverty, I just want to minister information to my sisters and brothers.

MY POEMS ARE NOT POEMS…
Once upon a time I caught jewels from those that live life golden,
Now that I’m living life like it’s golden I pay it forward by dropping gems in the street.

For those that listen,
Wisdom cries out to the streets.

I do it for those imprisoned,
Indigo Children, and men and women who wanna make it out of the streets.

Take it from me,
Nothing will change your life faster than the books that you read and the people that you meet.

Would you believe if I told you you are super rich without a red cent?
Yeah it doesn’t make sense like “your life will become more fulfilled when you master the art of needing less” defies your current logic.

Don’t worry, one day it’ll all make sense.
Many moons ago, tryna make a dollar out of fifteen cents had me sitting in the streets tryna make a profit.

I was told if you change your mind, you’ll change your life; I’ve been hooked on books ever since.
For wisdom is worth far more than silver and gold, if you see me sitting in the streets now, I’m tryna hear the prophets.

create your own sunshine, don't dim your light, inner glow, inner peace, living life like it's golden, shining, walking on sunshine

When your inner glow is too bright,

they can’t help but throw shade.
Never let their cloudy judgements rain on your parade.
Keep shining like the sun, 

let ’em throw shade. 
Nothing can dim the light that shines from within,

let ’em throw shade.
Their insecurities are not your issue,

don’t let ’em rain on your parade.
Remember, your inner glow is too bright,

they can’t help but throw shade.
When you create your own sunshine,

they wanna rain on your parade.
Sometimes you gotta remind yourself, 

haters gonna hate; keep shining anyway… 
Come rain, sleet, hail, snow

when you live life golden,

you shine on any day.
When you cultivate your inner glow…

in the garden of life your presence is like a sunbeam anyway.
The moral of the story…

when life gives you lemons, make lemonade.
Sometimes we must be intentional;

the sun doesn’t care if it blinds you,

don’t dim your light for no one.

Keep shining like the sun,

let ’em throw shade.
Never let their cloudy judgements rain on your parade.
DON’T TRY TO FIT IN…

even the sun stands alone,

let ’em throw shade.
When your walking on sunshine,

the music in your soul will have you doin’ the moonwalk in the rain.
When you learn to trust your dopeness,

you’ll see your inner peace is infinite

and they’ll never be able to extinguish your flame.
When you realize the sun, rain, and dirt are one in the same,

you must continue to plant seeds of joy amidst the dirt that they throw on your name.
You must continue to plant seeds of joy amidst the dirt that they throw on your name.
You must continue to plant seeds of joy amidst the dirt that they throw on your name.
