Array ( [sid] => 163409 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Bigger Picture [time] => 2010-11-24 14:57:45 [hometext] => I did a little editing to this one before posting it. Some language was altered to be suitable to share. Please excuse some of the improper language. I hope you enjoy it either way. [bodytext] => We're forgetting who we are
Telling each other to ***s off, get lost
We're walkin round, talkin bout where we wanna be
How we gonna get there?
But, shoot, we ain't gone no where
We're walking blind, darn near in circles
Never talking until late at night, never talking
'til it's too late
We're thinking we don't belong, every thing's out of place
Everything's completely out of order!
Promises were never kept true but threats were
We got our morals out of whack, but everyone keeps talking smack
Like that's gonna get you somewhere in this big world
Who are you trying to be? What are you trying to prove?
You've got this dream rockin' on your shoulders
But it don't matter, everybody's got their own darn problems
We're forgetting where we came from, we're forgetting our values
It's not easy like it used to be
We're getting older now
So what I've got to say is,
Start looking at the bigger picture [comments] => 2 [counter] => 176 [topic] => 21 [informant] => the_unknown [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 6 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )

Girl you got it going on here.

Fantastic. The last line just brings it all together the way it should be.
So what ever it is that you're doing keep it up.
These two writes show wisdom beyond your years.
