Life Throw Curve Balls All The Time

Some hide their morals behind their pain

Anger stop people from letting go of their pain

🧭🧭🧭🧭🧭🧭🧭🧭⌛️

Tik Tok they say time never stop

So does our personal moral compass

I just want to go pass

🧭🧭🧭🧭🧭🧭🧭🧭📱

They say communication holds the key

I say let time pass and watch the truth unfold

Don’t waste trying to explain what the future hold

🧭🧭🧭🧭🧭🧭🧭🧭🔮

Only you know your future goals

What you morally decided to let go

You can just do

🧭🧭🧭🧭🧭🧭🧭🧭💵⏱️🩺

When you get older you health become your priority

When you are young, wealth

My goal is my state of health

🧭🧭🧭🧭🧭🧭🧭🧭⚖️

Who will fight for our self worth Justice

Our moral compass

Will not let injustice bypass

🧭🧭🧭🧭🧭🧭🧭🧭🪷

Be aware we are spiritual beings

Be self-aware

Decisions beware

🧭🧭🧭🧭🧭🧭🧭🧭🥳

It’s time to celebrate

The moral decision you made

Can be your spade

    So true that wealth tends to be a priority for younger people, and health for older. l suppose many young people take their health for granted. They are more likely to have the energy to hustle. Meanwhile, age brings experience and perspective, and the realisation that health is just as, if not more, important.

  • Be well, my friend. Be well.

    Can be our spade to dig a hole and bury the people who wronged us? I'm all in! Lol, jokes aside, your poem was so profound. I especially loved these lines: "I say let time pass and watch the truth unfold Don’t waste trying to explain what the future hold"
