Motivation

When I trip over my stupidity 

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

Heartache is strong motivation

I’m sure I can also say

The same relation goes with faulty expectation

It’s hard not to see it any other way 

What we learn that is if we learn

Is defined after the fact

The most memorable lessons

Are usually predicated: pain-packed

Pay attention

Take a hard look

Don’t repeat the mistake

Otherwise, it will become mistook

I need a connection

One in reality

“I am that I am“

Versus another chapter of metaphysics or epistemology

I need a connection

A covenant with honesty

One where I can dust off myself

When I trip over my stupidity

Emotional bruises

Last as long as we give them power

Take away the sun and Rain 

You take away the flower

On the other hand

In the process of struggle and growth, there is beauty

The Joseph Campbell heroes story

The 12 steps of the journey

At the altar of circumstance 

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

The collateral damage of loneliness

A tariff on the feelings we export

On what principle of this debt do we offend?

On what vice do we subjugate or report?

It’s one thing to know

That you are aware

It’s another thing to not know

As you silently stare

If we negotiate our values

To numb what we feel

What price will we pay?

At the altar of circumstance when we kneel?

“Eleanor Rigby

Died in a church and was buried alone with her name

Nobody came

Father McKenzie

Wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave

No one was saved “

Only takes two shakes of a lamb’s tail 

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

I’m not sure just where I am heading

But I am certain I know where I’ve been

Only takes two shakes of a lamb’s tail

To know where and when I begin

Mama told me yeah she told me

About Sunday school and sin

Sometimes it’s best to know how to lose

Before you think you know how to win

Can’t say I’ve always done the right thing

But I can say I know I have tried

Better to be honest and truthful

Then to lie when you confide

I don’t expect much from the world anymore

But I do expect more from me

I believe in self sacrifice

But I also believe in reciprocity

Only takes two shakes of a Lamb‘s tail

My mama used to say to me

But now I am on my own

And I will see what I will see

I believe in having a strong moral character

One to navigate the moral tide

Without such a compass

the soul is likely to hide

I’d rather be the victor

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

When you think you failed

Or your luck has run out

Learn from the mistake

Don’t listen to your doubt

Perseverance is an art

Cool Hand Luke with a plastic Jesus



“I don’t care if it rains or freezes
Cause I got a plastic Jesus sittin on the dashboard of my car.
They come in colors pink and pleasant,
Glows in the dark cause it’s irridescent,
Carry one when you travel far.

Get yourself a sweet Madona,
Dressed in rhinestones, sittin on a pedastel of abalone shells.
Goin ninety, I ain’t scary,
Cause I got the Virgin Mary
Assurin me that I’m not goin to hell”

There will be times when you have to dig deep

Search for inspiration

Stand up on your own two feet

Even Against All Odds I take pause

I’d rather be the victor

Than the victim

Of my own cause

Honesty 

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

Why do we lie?

Is it difficult to tell the truth?

How do we measure in adulthood?

How do we measure up in our youth?

It takes character and courage to be truthful

We must first solve the problem of self deception

Before we can enter a relationship

When we may battle the fear of rejection

in many cases

It will not be clear

The respect we may earn

Over the judgment that we fear

But this is not to say

we should blurt out everything we think

Sometimes we can acknowledge and elude the truth

Along with a wink

In any example there exists

The fail-safe of humanity

The power of forgiveness

The way to keep our sanity

“Exoneration is not for the sole sake of relieving guilt. But for the sake of the soul we do not want to deplete. My reason to forgive.”

Just think how now what you can bring? 

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

Woke up from a dream

With other characters I had in my head

But it made more sense

Of my own life instead

Do dreams, permeate language?

If you carefully observe the dream

What will it tell you about yourself? 

Just exactly what will it mean?

Can you see another perception of yourself?

Can you unlock another door?

Can you reveal another view of yourself?

That you have never seen before?

Can you decode this revelation?

Will you be able to remember?

If you dream in January

Will you know it still by December?

If you commit this to memory

Will you develop it summer, fall, winter and spring?

How are you better yourself?

Just think how now what can you bring?

If you see what I can see 

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

Love is patient

Love is kind

Love is forgiving

Love is blind

I want to see the sorrow behind your smile

I want to understand your motivations

The reason for the silence 

The feeling of your sensations

I want to be the remedy

The medicine that can heal

I want to bring you tears of joy and happiness

I want to make you feel

I ask for nothing in return

As for this, I do not know why

There is something deep inside of me

That makes me want to try

You may call it empathy

This connection I feel between us

It is not completely selfless

Because, because, because, because 

Maybe your smile was Cupid‘s arrow

Maybe it’s not meant to be

You wouldn’t blame me for trying

If you see what I can see

Five simple rules 

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

Denzel says you must first learn

Then you earn

and then you return

Which means you develop the self: the body, the mind and the spirit

Then you face the world; an agency in the community

What will you bring to the table?

What will be your ingenuity?

For the body I must have discipline and dedication

For the spirit, I must have devotion

For the mind, I must have determination

And for society, I must have diplomacy

Five simple rules

Discipline, dedication, devotion, diplomacy and determination 

This pilgrimage I take

With reciprocity and association

the quest for knowledge

The quest for peace

Materialism never wins

As the body will one day cease

Time is our currency

In the ever presence of mind

We live only in the here and now

Forever, are we bound in time?

The irony of opportunity and outcome

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

Equality of opportunity?

Is something indeed

Equality of outcome?

No motivation to exceed

The sophist creates the word games

It can never logically solve

Sounding good in face value

Cloaked with deceit that often escapes resolve

Appealing only to the takers

Of the society they represent

Rejected by the producers

Hence the problem of our discontent

Be careful for what you wish for

There are many who would agree

The tragedy is in the details

There is never a guarantee

The irony of opportunity and outcome

The choices you make will declare

Which master you will follow?

Which master you will despair?

If the man in office

~ DC ~ Leave a comment

DemocRATS are morally bankrupt

To feign virtue is to stay in control

To prey upon the weak minded

Only division is what they extoll

There is no unifying doctrine

Only an anti-American creed

The culture war now upon us

To incite hatred is to mislead

To rule by ignorance

To rule by deception and greed

To shut down any dissent

Cancel culture is what you need

You must revise a new historical foundation

Tear down a venerated past

Create a false image to exploit

A problem-reaction-solution-forecast

A wall now around the capitol

But to a border-less country they will flee

The tsunami of migrants will travel

Change the demographic overnight and see

Change the voter laws before an election

Circumvent the legislature, continue the endless count

No restrictions and no accountability

In ballot failures and chaos we will mount

If the man in office

Is compromised by the CCP

He would sell out our country

The globalists would agree
