POEM: I Want to be the Change

I want to be the change
I want to be effective
not just selective
but an agent of change
I'm not deranged
or strange
but want to be an advocate
for those with no voice
I want to be the one
that is able to cause little ripples
that turn into big waves
because we see all that is wrong
but noone wants to make correction
so it's time for a change injection
and someone's gotta make the decision
it is no longer acceptable to just sit there
like you're not aware or just don't care
I want to be an agent of change
and get us properly re-arranged
so that we can function
and work together in unison
let's go cause we can make it happen
so don't walk with your spirits dampened
change is in you and it's in me
just be the best you that you can be
and together we can make it happen

JSPS Sports is Today! I am a proud parent who will be there representing!!!!!!!!!

Truth is ...

Truth is...
no one likes plagiarism
people tend to be fake
children speak their minds openly
many people do not utilize their talents
many of us are in the wrong profession
too many of us hold grudges
many people are underappreciated
teachers have a lot of work to do
lawyers should give half their salaries to teachers
my ideas are not the same as yours
you may get offended by something on this list
I'll hear your side but will stick with mine

The truth is simply the truth. You don't have to agree or comply, but it is what it is.

I am the 5%.....

They say that when you join an organization, you have to accept its culture. I guess I'm the 5% that really needs to be a hermit. My stomach for nonsense is very small. I hate disorganization and foolishness. I think what peeves me the most is when everyone disregards your needs but wants you to help them to make them look good.

People who are users are the worst kind to be around and work with. Well, maybe they are on the level with the nitpickers, the lazy ones and hypocrites. I'm not perfect and I don't pretend to be. However, I can make things happen. I put my best foot first EVERY TIME! I don't need to be acknowledged for it. However, I expect that if I am in a team, that 110% will be given by ALL.

I am the 5% of people who will be vocal, be boisterous and be dissatisfied with the mediocre. I am the 5% of people that have no tolerance for stupidness. I am also the 5% that will be in the midst of mess and still try to save face.

How long can that go on? It's time for a change!

POEM: Changes

Performed at Artists Against Addiction Showcase

Today as we embrace another beautiful day

Let’s be thankful for the great things that have come our way

In life there are struggles and down times

But we still have to find it in ourselves to smile

No matter what challenge you are facing

Or what heavy decision you are debating

We have to make certain changes

And It may take a whole live rearrangement

Because the choices we make today

Determine our life’s pathway

So let’s strive to make healthy choices

and resist temptations’ devices

there are so many negatives out there in our way

but we have to decide what part we play

even if you feel that you are in too deep

and you can’t find rest and you just can’t sleep

there is a better way

and there’s just one word that you have to say

and it’s “help”

stop and pray

don’t let drugs or alcohol be in your relay

because those choices are the wrong ones

and sooner or later, your soul will be gone

so instead of taking addictions path

stand your ground and awaken your heart

Make life changes that can take you higher

And Let good be your heart’s desire

Surround yourself with positivity

And Let love be a part of your gravity

Raise yourself and stand proud in dignity

Because your healthy choices help to build a healthy community
