Ode to thee dear chicken thief of not of game,
But of familiarity you cannot tame.
You steal from me my heart, my chicken,
Run away like the fox you are.
But remember deep within your greatest sin lies a part of me,
Which you can only see.
I watch your devious plots with quick envy.
I realize you devour the hearts of your chicken where I do not.
For me I behold that which you will always be unfolding.
Don't chase your game for it will always comes to you.
Say what you mean and not the opposite of what you do.

You Matter to Me
This one's for all you guys out there who allow a stumble, and fall in life to pin you down. Come on...there's more to life, than the nasty images that pass you by. The winner may take it all, but who decides where the game ends? Don't bother to explain your cause and beg for pardon from an insensitive soul. You matter to me ,and I hardly care if you've got shame or blame within your bowl. Why do you need to justify to all, and prove that you have changed your ways?Make amends to yourself and deep within and welcome new and sunny days.They are insensitive from praise and power and status and self-proclaimed name. It's not their fault...its their attitude that makes them play a one-sided selfish game.You are not bad, how can you be, if you are a reflection of his own sight You are simply soiled from a nasty fall and a hasty, misdirected flight.Get up, get up, the worst that you can ever do to insult yourself and dieIs reek of self pity and succumb to pressures when on the bed you lie. You are made of stuff that's pure power waiting to leave the magic wand You are the master of your destiny, does the lotus mind the muddy pond?
