Dreary Weather

Todays dreary weather

to sit around when we were kids talkin

bout old times about Hanks and Witch riding

on your chest paraylyzing u as u sleep

of Defens a Fox news former prejudge host

of the Fort Hood murderer the same diminitive

individual killing hundreds of unsuspecting folks

in speed boats blowing them up to smitherines

Mysteries N Life

The body just a shell

of an Inner Soul

Like everything in nature

body deteriorates as it

gets old

but the Soul a Space of time

and infinity 

The body conceals the Inner Soul

idenity who is in control

of the mind body and Soul

Each day as we know it

just natures space

a space thats been in place

since the beginning of time

The Inner Soul a mystery but

I always listen to mine
