Don't allow the world to make you beg.

Trying to write.

Don’t allow the world to make you beg..

Can we be imprison by lies?

Can we be locked away and forgotten?

Don’t allow the liars into your mind,

don’t allow the naysayers to tell you

what is right or what is wrong.

Think, see, touch and decide.

Take the not beaten road, find the places where truth is still wonderful.

Don’t accept less.

Chase your dreams and be who you want to be.

Don’t allow the world to make you beg.

Be the ocean, not the quiet folks waiting for the graveyards.

Dear Coyote,

These words of wisdom go right to the reader's soul....Someone said, don't beg for a seat, make your own table. If one can keep the resolve and keep walking, one can overturn the lies. Struggles open doors. I've can testify to this from my own experiences during my recent travels. Persistence pays and accomplishes so much! What is the other option anyway? To wait near our graves? Certainly not for you and me! Thank you for this poem!

So true. Without greed or battle, follow the words, Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.. .. kindness at all times, forgiveness alongside.

Your words sing blessings, sir.

Thank you dear Emma. I agree with you. We need forgiveness. And a safe world for every child.

We need to ensure our world is taking care of the children. Reward people who work to have a good life. Time for good people to stand as one. For freedom, equal rights and the children. Once great man told us. The children are the wealth of the nation. teach them well. Thank you Sami for reading and the comment.
