Stay Irie

“Lost” a poem/rap I wrote from the heart

How are we suppose to know what to do in life

as a kid the last thing i thought about is a job, a wife

growin up learning about things that don’t matter

how it that suppose to help us in the latter

purpose is hard to find

in this grind

we unwind

taken up time

is the only thing on my mind

I need a sign

something to point me in the right direction

something in life worth catchen

worth fetchen

I don’t take kindly to the idea of

doing something in life i wont love

a life of misery

is what i foresee

for peers who go into the industry

blindfolded, by the idea of accomplishment

They don’t understand the severity

of their so called accomplishment

on the well being of their soul

before they know it they’ve grown old

not living their life for themselves

instead, just living life for someone else

I can’t even imagine the feeling

Of someone who just realized how deceiving

Society portrays how to achieve happiness

Following society’s expectations doesn’t bring bliss

Only makes you miss

Your opportunity to be content with life

Follow your dreams

by any means

You only get one chance

Before death intervenes

A human being is part of a whole, called by us the ‘Universe’ —a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts, and feelings, as something separated from the rest—a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.” — Albert Einstein
