Choices

When you think about wants over needs, 

you had a choice and you chose to cater to self-indulges.

When you think about yourself, but belong to a family or unit of something larger, 

you chose selfishness.

When you want something, but want someone else to do the work for you, 

you chose laziness.

When you want to enjoy your life with someone, but want them to be responsible alone, 

you chose selfishness.

When you want your children in your life, but do not want to be responsible for the roof over their head, their safety, their provisions, 

then you chose not to be a part of their life.

When you want your community to be clean, but its not your job to pick up litter, 

you chose hypocrisy.

When you want money to spend, but do not want to work for it, 

you chose poverty.

When another person has things that you want, they are not lucky.

They chose to work for what they want.

Life is full of choices.

Freedom is a privilege that one earns through being responsible.

Choose life.

Choose to get up and work for what you want.

Choose to get help if you need that to get where you are going.

But whatever you do, remember that you have a choice and if you choose less, then that's what you'll get.

IMO Proper

Eighteen years of canvas written in block lettering and signed with a loving soul.

Thirty-one years of memories outstanding, wishing on a star.

A lifetime of achievement, wrapped in Krylon colors and salted tears.

Artistically unique yet widely unknown, his story had only just begun.

So many contemplations of what could have been - had he lived.

More than a bland memory, Proper lives in the hearts of all whom he had known

Inspiring each one that came after him, to reach a little higher - just a little more.

Thank you for blessing my life with yours.

Your memories never fade.

Evolution

 Deep behind passionate servitude she resides

A soul with hopes and dreams that hide to survive.

Catering to the needs of the greater community

Teaching how nature provides enough for both you and me.

Determination begins where empty confidence ends

No need to prove anything to enemies or friends.

Just keep pushing forward and do it with cause

Never mind useless chatter - they're already lost.

Human capital is where industrialism fell short

It failed to see humans as but a last and final resort.

Now the workforce is empty and business runs dry.

Perhaps they should have valued the actual human inside.

The people are marching to a very different beat.

Urbanites want gardens, not cement-lined streets.

Free market economy is where the center of wealth grows.

If you don't know about it, ask someone who knows.
