Do You Love Yourself Enough?

You love

But do you love yourself enough?

You love to fit imaginary lovers into the cookie cutter silhouettes of wishful thoughts.

You love the thought of someone who does not exist as they bake inside the oven of misguided meals.

A watched pot never boils and watched batter never rises yet...

You love to watch the ingredients of your imagination through the hot tempered glass.

You love to sprinkle these ideas on bake with sugary vanity unimportant to the soul.

You love the warmth and smell of the pastry

You swear that it's tasty till it burns your mouth and hands.

Now... cookies need love like everything does, but do you love yourself enough to not get burned again?

Do you love yourself enough to know that too many cooks can spoil a pie?

I'll tell you why.

"Get yourself a doctor girlfriend" 

As if he can heal your soul with the loose change he has left from the time he barely spends with your ass.

"Get yourself a woman who doesn't have any children"

As if killing the opportunity of a woman and child in search of a guardian is in the best interest of our people.

Really though...


You love

But do you love yourself enough?

Do you love yourself enough to go back into the kitchen of your soul and start again despite the pain?


Do you love yourself enough to cook from the feel of a freestyle, instead of the preconceived notions of a recipe for success?

Money, power, status and the appeals of the flesh are like confection to the tongue.

But when you swallow the bitter reality your palette is cleansed and the sweetness is done.

I personify in this fashion not to be critical of your desires...

Hell... You like what you like.

I'm just trying to show you the karma of cooking your "Happily Ever After" with sugars of the wealthy.

So if cakes, pies and cookies are all metaphors for unfulfilled love...

Do you love yourself enough to eat healthy?

The Outsider...

The problem with love is that too many don't practice.

Or so I thought, naive as I go out as a sheep among the wolves

The sheep representing how vulnerable you become when you create for the love of creating

The train tracks could very well be the first wolf I encountered

I will take you back to the days of my love of graffiti.

Watch that third rail booooooooooyyyeee.....

It will light your ass up! they would say

They never lied to me

We were all brothers creatively

We did it for love and it kept the art pure

But wait I'll tell you more...

The problem with love is that too many don't practice.

That was a philosophy I should have kept when Hip-hop entered my life.

Walked into my space as if she was my wife.

Coming to guide me through this jungle called life.

We were doing so well until the game became trifle.

I'll be the first to plead guilty to the courts and admit I was stingy with my creations

Stingy because of fear. Not quite sure how a mamma's boy
should express himself in a land of testosterone.

If my father was home

perhaps some of his courage would have rubbed off on me.

Again am I a sheep among the wolves.

This time the wolf represents the one's who mean to exploit your passion.

The problem with love is that too many don't practice.

So I persisted and became a better lover to women by loving my passion daily as the rising sun.

I practiced sharing my whole life through creativity which brings me to who I've become.

The fearful are so familiar that they no longer scare me with their insecurities.

And so I have time to practice.

It allows me to be free enough to create for the love of creating.

Though I walk on a path designed for me I walk not alone but with God's wind at my back.

His presence and divine grace is the one thing that makes me

comfortable being inside of the flesh of an outsider.

One of the few who practices love every day by creating for the love of creating.

I am no longer a sheep among the wolves

I stand as a symbol of a forgotten custom.

The custom where love has the freedom and strength to fly always...

Quickie...

     
     Call me old school, but I believe you should treat people how you want to be treated. This is simply good business. I proudly work with people and make sure we exchange ideas of equal value. For me it takes the stress away from the business so that I have more brain power to create. Many have accepted a "something for nothing" value system to equate success. Where as, if they aren't raping you, it's not good business for them. This is ridiculous to me. This thinking breeds laziness to me. As well as kills more art than it exploits. For those that know me well. This is not an attempt to get at anybody. I hold no grudges, this is me just speaking on the evils. If you feel I am talking about you then call me and we can both pray about it. 


Now then...


I am on the second half of my life and I do not have time for anything less than excellence. Make no mistake I love the business side when everyone respects one another, but I love the art more. So I am compelled to protect its integrity through originality.
