All The Fat Kid Needs Is A Hug
All the fat kid needs is a hug,
to be held in warm love,
to be told so pure and genuine
from a real life soul
so sure, so whole, and so feminine
about her tasty, joyous happy apple angel, unique beauty
that she feels it so skillfully,
the keys to every dungeon of anger
that any judgmental stranger has placed her in
appear in the palm of her hand.
Suddenly she is no longer hungry.
All the ADHD kid needs is a calm grin
that transcends all the busy pressure pouncing
from the outside world of balancing
the processed stress against
the repressed man made mind idea of unoriginal sin,
to show him how to look out from within.
No wonder he does not want to focus on what you focus on.
Think about what you focus on.
You do not even like doing it, so why would he?
All the ghetto child needs is a smiling mind
that does not fear, judge, or find fault
in the 24-7 hustling grind he must endeavor
if he wants to make things better for his family,
a heart that doesn’t want to lock him in a vault
for doing what he thought he needed to do at the time.
If you have a million dollars in your bank account
you can not look down on someone who is poor and stealing.
You have no clue what they are feeling,
their dad’s grandfather did not have a chance to make a million dollars
since your dad’s grandfather forced them to be slaves.
Hey friends, don’t make life too complicated.
It can be very simple.
What is the secret to weight loss? Love.
How do you stay focused and calm? Love.
How do you not have issues with yourself or anyone else? Love.
How do you have the best mental health? Love.
What do people try everything except? Love
Oh everlasting child with a ceaseless smile
transcending the ticking dial of time,
live your life from wonder
and never wonder why.
Pure water
fountain of youth inside…
