Favorite Quote:
"Drink water and mind your business today"


Stupidity is the enemy and the anatomy of the soul. It’s made up of emotions and bits and pieces of the universe. The temptation of getting lost is still here. Just in the back of the stem that makes up my body…the Brain…running on sunlight, and the disrespect of thou fellow people. Jealousy is the epitome and the anatomy of the soul. Running on lies, and disappearing acts. All good things come and go but nothing is coming my way. I just want to live in the trees and mind my own business. Gain health and happiness from the earth’s soil and water. Gain energy from sunlight and rest from Luna. “We cannot fight fire with fire. We are controlled by the things we think that we need.” Word to Efuru. Shaken with fear erupted by lightning. I have been set free….. For now. I guess.


The author's comments:

I am very interested in nature and spirituallity, so this poem is telling a story on someone who lives in nature and has chosen to let go of everything and live life spiritually.
