SHOOTING SLOW TO LIFE

Some people move in life

Like shooting stars

While other are late bloomers

But it is a lifelong unfolding

Shooting slow to life

Some seem to be born knowing who they are

And what they are destined to contribute

Whole others stumble from one life post to another

Trying to figure out what they want to be when they grow up

Shooting slow to life

Some people overcome incredible odds and pass

Through hell and high water to meet up with destiny

Others are given every economic, educational, and social advantage

Yet are given abyss of unproductivity it all come down to one thing

Know yourself…Shooting Slow to Life

People who grew up in poverty may have to learn

Who you are apart from an environment

Filled with street corner drug deals

Substandard housing high incarceration rates

High teen pregnancy rates and low expectations

If you grew up this way

Your environment may tell you that

You are destined to sell drug

But actually you love to write science fiction

Get in touch with the real you

So that you can see your higher self

And realize your ability to distance

From the negative realities of a dysfunctional upbringing

If you grow up poor take time to know your higher self

The one who has destiny

That does not include incarceration

Drugs and unplanned pregnancy

Distinguish your true self from the environment

Where you grew up

Shooting slow to life
