It is Now

It is now

This time

This season

No need for a reason

Whether it be pragmatic

Or spiritual

Insignificant

Or crucial

There is not a need but this moment right now

Just breathe

Just that one heartbeat

Inside your chest

No matter worst

Or best

No right answer

No test

Just this moment right now

Even on this vast planet

Spinning in an even bigger galactic dance

No need to take a stance

Just be here

In this moment

Right now

God is not asking for your atonement

Just show up please

Be there for you and me

And everybody

If we can just arrive

And be here right now

We won’t just want to survive

Or keep posting #thrive

We’ll be more

So much more

Than what we do now

And how we keep score

Never getting enough

Always wanting more, more, more

Here in this moment

Right now

We achieve our greatest accomplishment

To live and breathe

The way Lord Everything

Has meant it to be

I Return

I return

Again after a long weekend with friends, family, and kin

I realized so many things

In just a little bit of time

Most importantly

What I choose for my life is mine

I am the only one who needs to care when my dreams arrive

And it will be my measure of what it means to thrive

Not living this life just to survive

Because I’m the king of the jungle

The ultimate predator

Devourer

And destroyer

Not super concerned with who is my employer

But rather where I can get a good lawyer

Because like all kings

There came challengers

Niggaz that be trifflin'

And cops that be assault riffling

But since they can’t see the light in me

I must strike

Or start a fight

Then spend a night in the slammer

In the morning

Got charges to answer

But I beat the case

Like those whack challengers

Then pray to God for forgiveness

Lord show me your grace

Give me humility

Put me in my place

Which is here on Earth

As a member of the human race

Equal to all

And above none

As in Heaven on Earth

It shall be done
