CHANGE

"Change is what is left over after what is spent." - Luchetta (Cookee) Manus © 2013

This. Is one of my sayings and it means when you have exhausted yourself purchasing things. In life (exhausting yourself physically and emotionally going through things in life, which you learn lessons from)

All that is left is for you to Change!

Of repeat the same things not learning from them

So mu quote,"Change is what is left over after what is spent."

BECAUSE YOURE HERE

Poem title: Because You're Here

Be your wonderful selves

It is you who bring color to the black, white, and grey canvas of this world.
Understand that your uniqueness should be celebrated inside you everyday you wake up.

Love yourselves

You cannot begin to love others until you have conquered your own disability of self hatred. Taking the time to nurture yourselves makes you a far greater asset to those who haven't mastered the task. Helping those help themselves

Believe in yourselves

Your dreams are entangled with other dreams of people creating a need of one another Supporting each persons vision for the bigger picture each of us contributes to

Life has winding roads
Valleys low
Mountain to climb
Bridges to cross
Some may need to be burned
You live and the joy in it is that you learn
You are valuable
You are needed
Turn someone's dark nights
Into days of sunshine
We have that power

Let it be

Because you are here occupying a space here on Earth metered, by time that God and creation may smile at the thought of your existence

WHAT HAPPENED TO FAIRY TALE ENDINGS

Poem title: What Happened To Fairy Tale Endings?
Written by: Luchetta Manus © 2013

In love with the idea of love
Fairy tale, happily ever after 
Till we grow old

I'm in love with the fallacies of love 
Soul mates
Understanding and caring
Being one unit
Unbreakable more than Alicia Keys
Unbreakable like a Charleston Chew
Those are hard to break

For Heaven's sake

I'm in love with the aura of love
Sunny days and fewer ones with rain
Embarking on a life journey
Weathering the storms
Entering life of the unknown

DEVIL TALK

Poem title: Devil Talk
Written by: Luchetta(Cookee)Manus © 2013

God is whispering
Devil yelling
Telling me
God is selfish, dwells in vanity
Ecocentricism
I block it out
Try hard not to listen

Life
Decisions
Hypocrytical people labeled Christians
Makes me wonder if their is a point the the voices yelling

Is demanding an answer from God Blasphamous?
Arfter all we are not mere accidents
But for some of us
Life is hard to bear

Hell on Earth makes you look up to heaven skies wishing you lived there

Don't want to eat the whole damn cake
I just wanna piece, will do
To know what it means to have peace from the devil yellin in my ears to cease

Hear me o Lord
Your dark child's cries
Of over exaggerated truths
Lies
Lights out to faith
As it dwindles
Dies
Faith tries
Stays alive
After repeated resuscitation
From flat lines
Lord I'm running outta time
