Lorn
You seem to like staring at me.
Why not? It's the land of the free.
Sorry, it makes me think you're at a lower level.
Something that's around the lines of a devil.
Always giving me the creeps.
When at me, you wink your peeps.
Just try to peddle your smut elsewhere.
For your lifestyle, I never did care.

You can still get ‘er done
Rushing is sometimes fun
If too long you stare at the clock
Your brain could get a little shock
It will happen eventually
You gotta take things gradually
Every now and then, you must be quick
Good thing to give your drive a little kick
***
Missy
Some people really enjoy the country life
Very peaceful place with not much of a strife
Maybe a nice meadow and a creek
It’s seldom said to be at all bleak
Often many of a tree
Place you will surely feel free
And sometimes many colorful flowers
Spend too much time, you’ll track of the hours
And hopefully it’s bright and sunny
Good thing it does not cost cash money
***
Shannon
We should not spend our time dwelling on the past
Knowing that forever these things will not last
Eventually it’s all said and done and long gone
Be optimistic, tomorrow will bring a brighter dawn
Times right now can seem dark or rough
Rise above it, you gotta stay tough
When it’s over, it really is
Time to handle some new biz
Once again try not to dwell
It won’t help you to feel well
Always think of a bright future and forwards
Something that you can definitely look towards
***
Frustrating to have to “hurry up and wait”
Especially when you’ve got a hot date
Everything will happen in due time
Few don’t like stopping on a dime
As much as you tell people to hurry
It will only cause you extra worry
Some people are all about “get ‘er done”
Rushing things doesn’t lead to any fun
Impatience, a very ugly virtue
Can make you feel opposite of new
If you just get over it and relax
Your satisfaction could be at max
***
Viruses are contagious
Very stupid and outrageous
Probably should try to stay indoor
So you don’t end up dead on the floor
An outbreak could be really scary
From others do try to stay wary
The restrictions you might not like
For instance, don’t go on a hike
Having no visitors might be another rule
Over these , try not to get mad and drool
It will all go back to normal in due time
Just have to try your hardest to stay sublime
***
Everything happens with eventuality
Never going to take an eternity
Clock watching is some peoples addiction
This can have a feeling of restriction
Time is definitely not the enemy
Obsess about it and you’ll feel unfree
The phrase could be anal retentive
Not a very happy way to live
We’re looking at it before we go somewhere
Still you shouldn’t let it give you a scare
***
So they better have a reason
For their simple act of treason
Because if somebody does keep their word
It can leave you feeling like a turd
But it seldom happens intentionally
Probably won’t last permanently
Getting over it, is the best bet
Learning to forgive and forget
***
Olivia
You can see it in their eyes
To tell if they’re full of lies
Saying is when full of it they turn brown
They change if they have a smile or a frown
Coming in many types of shade
But they don’t ever seem to fade
***
Try your hardest to always persevere
Somethings can be good and severe
If at first you do not succeed
Do over, fear not a little bleed
We should always keep going
Helping our minds stay growing
Some think if you try to hard it can be bad
While others can think it’s totally rad
***
You can sometimes “get ‘er done” in five
Like be grateful that you are alive
We have to accept limited time
Do it, but not on the stop of a dime
Takes not much time to show gratitude
“Get ‘er done” can be a good attitude
***
Really busy everyone does get
Staying active you won’t regret
We just got to do it
Never say “oh screw it”
Actually it can be very healthy
If done right could make you pretty wealthy
***
Kali
Sometimes you just got to quit
Like if your jobs a bad fit
Even if at it you were really superb
The fact that you caved should not disturb
At times you just need to move on
Like the sun at the crack of dawn
When getting a new beginning
You can get a feel of winning
Do not be afraid to get it done
Another job can be very fun
Quitting in terms of drugs
Could lead to many hugs
***
Sometimes you just have to wait
Ensures you don’t miss your date
The saying is “time is of the essence”
A real and inescapable presence
It’s everywhere and vast
Some preferring it fast
With an attitude of “get it done”
But when you rush it’s not very fun
Everything happens with eventuality
Impatience, a really bad personality
***
Your enemy isn’t time
Try hard to stay sublime
Don’t get in a hurry
Won’t help if you worry
If on it you perseverate
It will just leave you all irate
Also, try to let go of the past
Forever these feelings won’t last
***
Adrian
You really should not hate
It opposes being great
Racism is despicable and mean
Leads to a life that is dirty and unclean
Judging someone for the color of their skin
Definitely makes you ugly from within
Practicing acceptance is what you gotta do
To have better relations between me and you
***
Jarvis
Don’t be a petty thief
Will fill up your life with grief
The word is piracy
Liking to say-me, me, me
After government, movies or even a ship
Some are trying to take these and not very hip
You really should not take what isn’t yours
That’s the reason people lock their doors
The opposition of this would be giving
And a happier life you end up living
***
Bob
Just maybe you shouldn’t
Don’t say that you couldn’t
Their approval is what you seek
Try your hardest not to be meek
It’s not about making them happy
Could make you feel a bit less crappy
You’ve got to please the boss
Seldom causes a loss
***
Being a smart aleck can be kinda sick
If done too much you could come off as a prick
But you have got to give them some credit
For how quick witted they might have said it
Your buttons it seems they like to push
But try not to let it hurt your tush
Liking to do it in good fun
It’s not like they’re pointing a gun
Can seem like a bunch of jerks
That’s not how it really works
Doing it, sometimes too often, as a joke
Just don’t ever let your spirit get broke
They obviously like to play around
Can help you keep your head on the ground
***
Gorgeous
You will surely fall
With too much alcohol
If one is never enough
Rise up and be tough
Can be difficult to abstain altogether
You need a hide tougher than leather
Getting it can be done with such ease
To store clerks, no need to say please
It can be seriously tough to stop
Something that can be found at every shop
But everything can be done
Even though not at all fun
Drugs can come in tougher types
Like ones that are done with pipes
Just because it comes with a legal age
Can still find yourself in a mental cage
Just try very hard to go without
You’ll have a better life no doubt
***
Carol
A word for it is grateful
Opposite of hateful
Try your hardest to show appreciation
Helping make a positive nation
It has to do with respect
So your friendships don’t get wrecked
Could be as simple as sharing
Being kind and very caring
Something you should always show
Will definitely help you grow
***
Don’t be fake
Will not make
Anything good
Hurts a mood
Not a good principle
Their hearts it will not fill
Avoid being rude
Not very cool dude
***
Darrell
Some people are just crabby
They are often quite blabby
Happy it seems they never are
In the end it won’t get them far
Learn to be nice, they probably should
To change them, we really wish we could
***
Patience takes lots of work
Practice and don’t be a jerk
We should try to always be kind
Prevents falling on your behind
Always give what you prefer to get
Life will be better, you can bet
If you’re in a big hurry
Life will be full of worry
***
Make it one for the ages
Life has many of stages
Bigger is always better
Water will get you wetter
You should always try your best
Get past every life test
If you don’t ever try
You will not ever fly
Some things simply cannot be done
Failed attempts can sometimes be fun
***
Get out of my face
This isn’t your place
I really don’t want to fight
Do you think you have the right
You shouldn’t put people down
Unless you want to look the clown
You will reap what you sow
Hate and you’ll never grow
***
Carol
It’s like some people take pride in being rude
The total opposite of a cool dude
Do they like the way they are?
It won’t help them get very far
If they would only realize
There will never be a prize
Seems like they really do not care
Makes you want to pull out your hair
***
Doing if you don’t like
Could still be worth the hike
If at first you don’t succeed
Trying again is a need
First attempt may have been a fail
But you should never ever bail
***
Some people prefer to smile
Can make them feel good a while
Others opt to frown
Looking like a clown
A lot of power in the human face
Making you feel in or out of place
But it’s something you shouldn’t hide
Try to always wear it with pride
***
It’s a bit of this and that
Going both ways, tit for tat
Could go up, could go down
Little smile or big frown
A popular term is bipolar
Monocle to a binocular
From west coast to the east
Famished or a big feast
Can really go both ways
Stable or in a daze
***
Don’t make fun of other peeps
Mean people are total creeps
Not everyone is the same
Different isn’t lame
Try hard not to be rude
That’s not very cool dude
It can be really easy to be mean
Off suffering some people feen
***
Let’s keep it simple
Like popping a pimple
Making a mountain out of a molehill
Our problems are never nil
Try not to overthink
Stay afloat don’t sink
Keep it small
Avoid a fall
***
Nathan
Back in the day they were so cool
Now treat each other like a fool
Really busy they may be
It can be hard to get free
Some people can grow apart
Real friends stay in the heart
Off the path some may veer
“Will they leave?” You might fear
Know you will always stay true
Friendship is there, no need renew
***
Jill
When something should be done
Try hard to make it fun
It can be called obligation
Often followed by appreciation
A feeling of “need”
Seldom makes you bleed
***
Katy
Time to make a change
Don’t get stuck on strange
Could be your “new year’s resolution”
A very positive solution
Different can make you feel better
Write them down in a letter
Doesn’t hurt to keep track
To keep you off your back
It’s usually very positive
For a very happy life to live
***
An eye for an eye
Just don’t die
Paybacks a witch
Might get a stitch
Must be done
Seldom fun
Can get served
Could be deserved
Not a good principle
Your heart it will not fill
***
Make the best of what you got
Don’t ever let your life rot
Never ever give up
Keep filling your cup
Life can be a test
Swat it like a pest
Positivity of attitude
Can make you a pretty rad dude
***
Same poop different fly
Just gotta ask “why?”
Things may stay the same
Consistency’s not lame
Saying is “same old same old”
Sometimes it’s already gold
***
Just hurry up and wait
Too bad, last out the gate
Patience is hard to find
Rush and you could lose your mind
Don’t be in a big hurry
Let downs can cause fury
If it doesn’t happen right away
On your mood, let it not play
***
Just got to rise above
Don’t hate, try to love
If negativity is what they are giving
Find the positive, life’s always worth living
Keep striving to find a way
To make each one a better day
When they try really hard to get you down
Laugh, because it’s difficult to make you frown
***
Val
There’s perception of self
Feelings you have on your shelf
Try to remember to always say “I think I can”
You’ll for sure end up “the woman” or “the man”
Another way to put it is self worth
Could give your attitude some girth
If expectations of your goals low
All growth and gains will slow
Personal outlook should stay positive
And a longer and happier life you’ll live
If faith in yourself you lack
It’s hard to get off your back
It’s all about self perception
Avoiding all self deception
***
Wait your turn
Do not burn
Say “give it now”
Look like a sow
Patience, very key
Bliss for you and me
Be too rude
Could get sued
Impatience leads nowhere
Rush and get crappy care
***
Somethings are downright aggravating
Leaving you feeling angered and hating
Both actions and things can rattle your nerves
Leading to major ups and downs in your mood swerves
***
Try to never get a scare
Could prevent making fare
If someone shows you fear
Overcoming them could be near
On our weaknesses thugs capitalize
So easier they can get their prize
“No rest for the wicked” is a common saying
A life principle that is seldom paying
***
There’s a time and a place
Rude people can shut their face
When someone is “acting the fool”
You can get so mad that you drool
Just got to try to rise above
It can be hard but turn hate to love
Really easy to find mean peeps
Try your hardest to avoid the creeps
To their level, don’t scoop down
Let them have fun acting the clown
***
Bria
Life can get really crazy
Just don’t be lazy
Everyone gets super busy
Better try not to get dizzy
Take one day at a time
For a future that’s sublime
Overwhelmed we may feel
But we can to get through this ordeal
***
Don’t be rude
I’m not in the mood
Some enjoy to get us down
Liking to make us frown
***
Life is what you make it
Just don’t ever fake it
When it doesn’t go your way
Gotta try another day
Say “the glass is half full”
Saying it’s empty is bull
When you only give it half
At yourself can you only laugh
***
It is what it is
Handle your biz
Not all can change
Staying same isn’t strange
Acceptance is the key
To positive personality
They’re what you make it
Don’t ever fake it
Got to be real
Hearts you will fill
Self perception
Not deception
***
Everyone should have lots of drive
Capability to do more than survive
Trying to be our very best
Passing any and every test
Being “all you can be”
As said by the army
If we do all we can do
Our problems will go shoo
***
Emmanuel
They say “size doesn’t matter”
And “the bigger the badder”
“Good things come in small packages” is one
Big or small it can all be fun
People, things an attitude
Even edibles like food
It’s like the size of a feat
Just don’t let it leave you beat
***
Rachel
Get out of my head
Stupid shit makes me feel dead
But we just gotta keep trying
On no one else can we be relying
***
Some things are just annoying
They can leave your head ringing
Personalities, dirty clothes and flies
Music, food and cloudy skies
Actions and things get under your skin
You start to bubble up from within
***
Persistence is the opposite
Of perseveration, which is hard to quit
Well not exactly different
But people get all bent
Out of shape, or stuck on the same
Repeating can be kinda lame
While getting it done
Can be really fun
***
Feelings change like the weather
Some are harder than leather
Being nice or being mean
Happy, sad or in between
Really good ones make you smile
Others cause you to frown a while
Anger, fear, and annoy
Opposed by happy, glad and enjoy
***
Making small gains every day
Always going to find a way
Never going to give up trying
Because giving up, and I’m not lying
Will lead to a huge decline
It’s too late to change the past
And the future comes too fast
We tend to spend our lives in regret
Not knowing how to forget
The term is “live and learn”
Respect is something you earn
Of our surroundings we must be aware
So our peers we do not scare
I must reiterate
To change the past it’s too late
Just got to stay positive
And a happy life you will live.
***
We can’t change the way we are
But we can still go far
We may not go all the way
We all refuse to stay
Stuck in one place
Little gains we must embrace
Taking pride in all we’ve done
Working hard can be fun!
Sweat a bunch and just keep trying
And to nobody you won’t be lying
***
Leroy
You don’t have to make a decision
To be a Jekyll or Hyde
If you are in the mood to be mean
Does it fill you with pride?
Everyone has ups and downs
It’s hard to regulate
The mood we’re in and our attitude
Just don’t let it lead to hate
***
We all desire to change
The present and the past
Turning bad to good
Try not to do it too fast
In moderation is the key
Taking it a little slow
Because if we rush
It will be hard to grow
***
Persistence is the key
To a life that is happy
Reaching a hard goal
Can warm the soul
Getting something done
That was difficult can be fun
***
What we’re going be
We cannot for-see
And what we want to become
No hope or dream is dumb
One will never know
To change is to grow
***
Try your hardest to get it done
Even when it’s not very fun
Even if things are really tough
And you feel like saying “that’s too tough”
Try to stay positive and happy
Even when things get crappy
***
You just have to suck it up
We can never ever give up
Keep going and trying
On no one else be relying
Keep hoping and thinking
You’re a ship that won’t be sinking
***
Laying in bed feeding really sad and better of dead
But giving up is not an option to even think to tread
Keep on trucking, make it through all the pains
We all have them, concentrate on your gains
Different in all shapes and sizes
Getting a haircut mullet to short fade
Digging with a backhoe now, and it started a spade
Tricycle then bicycle next a loud hog
First chihuahuas then Rottweilers when raising a dog
BB gun and crows and a sparrow
To deer with a bow and arrow
Rolling over, crawling, then to walk and to run
Giving up would never let us achieve such fun
***
Doing it slow and steady
Getting everything ready
Eventually it will get done
Rushing it is no fun
Taking time to do something
Can really make it pop and bling
Good things happen slow
Like seeing a child grow
***
Guardians
This is the Land Of The Free
A great place for you and me
I’m talking about freedom
Enjoyed by way more than some
It’s much more than nice
And can come at a price
Take pride in knowing it’s great
Some don’t know how to appreciate
People have fought for it
And let’s try not to forget
All that has been done
A necessity to having fun
If you try to abuse it
You’ll definitely lose it
Some nations take extra pride
Doing with grace and ease of stride
Be proud of your flag
But don’t overly brag
MJK
Rushing is sometimes fun
If too long you stare at the clock
Your brain could get a little shock
It will happen eventually
You gotta take things gradually
Every now and then, you must be quick
Good thing to give your drive a little kick

Off the path some may veer
“Will they leave?” You might fear
Know you will always stay true
Friendship is there, no need renew
***

When something should be done
Try hard to make it fun
It can be called obligation
Often followed by appreciation
A feeling of “need”
Seldom makes you bleed
***
Katy
Time to make a change
Don’t get stuck on strange
Could be your “new year’s resolution”
A very positive solution
Different can make you feel better
Write them down in a letter
Doesn’t hurt to keep track
To keep you off your back
It’s usually very positive
For a very happy life to live
***
An eye for an eye
Just don’t die
Paybacks a witch
Might get a stitch
Must be done
Seldom fun
Can get served
Could be deserved
Not a good principle
Your heart it will not fill
***
Make the best of what you got
Don’t ever let your life rot
Never ever give up
Keep filling your cup
Life can be a test
Swat it like a pest
Positivity of attitude
Can make you a pretty rad dude
***
Same poop different fly
Just gotta ask “why?”
Things may stay the same
Consistency’s not lame
Saying is “same old same old”
Sometimes it’s already gold
***
Just hurry up and wait
Too bad, last out the gate
Patience is hard to find
Rush and you could lose your mind
Don’t be in a big hurry
Let downs can cause fury
If it doesn’t happen right away
On your mood, let it not play
***
Just got to rise above
Don’t hate, try to love
If negativity is what they are giving
Find the positive, life’s always worth living
Keep striving to find a way
To make each one a better day
When they try really hard to get you down
Laugh, because it’s difficult to make you frown
***
Val
There’s perception of self
Feelings you have on your shelf
Try to remember to always say “I think I can”
You’ll for sure end up “the woman” or “the man”
Another way to put it is self worth
Could give your attitude some girth
If expectations of your goals low
All growth and gains will slow
Personal outlook should stay positive
And a longer and happier life you’ll live
If faith in yourself you lack
It’s hard to get off your back
It’s all about self perception
Avoiding all self deception
***
Wait your turn
Do not burn
Say “give it now”
Look like a sow
Patience, very key
Bliss for you and me
Be too rude
Could get sued
Impatience leads nowhere
Rush and get crappy care
***
Somethings are downright aggravating
Leaving you feeling angered and hating
Both actions and things can rattle your nerves
Leading to major ups and downs in your mood swerves
***
Try to never get a scare
Could prevent making fare
If someone shows you fear
Overcoming them could be near
On our weaknesses thugs capitalize
So easier they can get their prize
“No rest for the wicked” is a common saying
A life principle that is seldom paying
***
There’s a time and a place
Rude people can shut their face
When someone is “acting the fool”
You can get so mad that you drool
Just got to try to rise above
It can be hard but turn hate to love
Really easy to find mean peeps
Try your hardest to avoid the creeps
To their level, don’t scoop down
Let them have fun acting the clown
***
Bria
Life can get really crazy
Just don’t be lazy
Everyone gets super busy
Better try not to get dizzy
Take one day at a time
For a future that’s sublime
Overwhelmed we may feel
But we can to get through this ordeal
***
Don’t be rude
I’m not in the mood
Some enjoy to get us down
Liking to make us frown
***
Life is what you make it
Just don’t ever fake it
When it doesn’t go your way
Gotta try another day
Say “the glass is half full”
Saying it’s empty is bull
When you only give it half
At yourself can you only laugh
***
It is what it is
Handle your biz
Not all can change
Staying same isn’t strange
Acceptance is the key
To positive personality
They’re what you make it
Don’t ever fake it
Got to be real
Hearts you will fill
Self perception
Not deception
***
Everyone should have lots of drive
Capability to do more than survive
Trying to be our very best
Passing any and every test
Being “all you can be”
As said by the army
If we do all we can do
Our problems will go shoo
***
Emmanuel
They say “size doesn’t matter”
And “the bigger the badder”
“Good things come in small packages” is one
Big or small it can all be fun
People, things an attitude
Even edibles like food
It’s like the size of a feat
Just don’t let it leave you beat
***
Rachel
Get out of my head
Stupid shit makes me feel dead
But we just gotta keep trying
On no one else can we be relying
***
Some things are just annoying
They can leave your head ringing
Personalities, dirty clothes and flies
Music, food and cloudy skies
Actions and things get under your skin
You start to bubble up from within
***
Persistence is the opposite
Of perseveration, which is hard to quit
Well not exactly different
But people get all bent
Out of shape, or stuck on the same
Repeating can be kinda lame
While getting it done
Can be really fun
***
Feelings change like the weather
Some are harder than leather
Being nice or being mean
Happy, sad or in between
Really good ones make you smile
Others cause you to frown a while
Anger, fear, and annoy
Opposed by happy, glad and enjoy
***
Making small gains every day
Always going to find a way
Never going to give up trying
Because giving up, and I’m not lying
Will lead to a huge decline
It’s too late to change the past
And the future comes too fast
We tend to spend our lives in regret
Not knowing how to forget
The term is “live and learn”
Respect is something you earn
Of our surroundings we must be aware
So our peers we do not scare
I must reiterate
To change the past it’s too late
Just got to stay positive
And a happy life you will live.
***
We can’t change the way we are
But we can still go far
We may not go all the way
We all refuse to stay
Stuck in one place
Little gains we must embrace
Taking pride in all we’ve done
Working hard can be fun!
Sweat a bunch and just keep trying
And to nobody you won’t be lying
***
Leroy
You don’t have to make a decision
To be a Jekyll or Hyde
If you are in the mood to be mean
Does it fill you with pride?
Everyone has ups and downs
It’s hard to regulate
The mood we’re in and our attitude
Just don’t let it lead to hate
***
We all desire to change
The present and the past
Turning bad to good
Try not to do it too fast
In moderation is the key
Taking it a little slow
Because if we rush
It will be hard to grow
***
Persistence is the key
To a life that is happy
Reaching a hard goal
Can warm the soul
Getting something done
That was difficult can be fun
***
What we’re going be
We cannot for-see
And what we want to become
No hope or dream is dumb
One will never know
To change is to grow
***
Try your hardest to get it done
Even when it’s not very fun
Even if things are really tough
And you feel like saying “that’s too tough”
Try to stay positive and happy
Even when things get crappy
***
You just have to suck it up
We can never ever give up
Keep going and trying
On no one else be relying
Keep hoping and thinking
You’re a ship that won’t be sinking
***
Laying in bed feeding really sad and better of dead
But giving up is not an option to even think to tread
Keep on trucking, make it through all the pains
We all have them, concentrate on your gains
Different in all shapes and sizes
Getting a haircut mullet to short fade
Digging with a backhoe now, and it started a spade
Tricycle then bicycle next a loud hog
First chihuahuas then Rottweilers when raising a dog
BB gun and crows and a sparrow
To deer with a bow and arrow
Rolling over, crawling, then to walk and to run
Giving up would never let us achieve such fun
***
Doing it slow and steady
Getting everything ready
Eventually it will get done
Rushing it is no fun
Taking time to do something
Can really make it pop and bling
Good things happen slow
Like seeing a child grow
***

This is the Land Of The Free
A great place for you and me
I’m talking about freedom
Enjoyed by way more than some
It’s much more than nice
And can come at a price
Take pride in knowing it’s great
Some don’t know how to appreciate
People have fought for it
And let’s try not to forget
All that has been done
A necessity to having fun
If you try to abuse it
You’ll definitely lose it
Some nations take extra pride
Doing with grace and ease of stride
Be proud of your flag
But don’t overly brag
