LOVE LIFE

Sometimes...we don't know how blessed we are! Stay humble my friends...life isn't about what you have as you can lose it all in a blink of an eye. Remember the roads that have led you to who you are and never forget those that have helped you get there. I am proud of not having everything in life...I am proud of my parents Mitchell and Patricia Scott, who showed my siblings and I tough love and allowed us to make mistakes and decisions on our own to understand the values of working hard to get what we want out of life. I've learned to never boast or brag about my success as I know there are others who are better than I as I strive to accomplish goals that many have thought I'd never accomplish. I've learned to stay silent when others speak on their accomplishments as I know that it feels good to hear another's story as I may have already been there, but to understand that the particular moment in life is theirs and not mine to steal their glory. Life is but living...and we must live everyday to challenge ourselves to be better than we were yesterday. Thank God for my blessings and I pray that everyone around me...friend or foe....may be blessed as I challenge everyone to share their smile and blessing with someone.

I WROTE THIS...

I Wrote This...

I wrote this poem
For you

This...hardcore
Strum
From
Heartbeat joint
For you

In mind...melody, guitar n' strings
Yet, God knows I cannot sing
But these thoughts kept meddling
With my subconscious...
Unconsciously

Thoughts...echo
In circles
Around surface of mind...hello

Like sentence references in film loops
I studied these words...weed to seed...add substance...to feed roots
Like ball players off an assist...
Share points...pen to paper...the novelist

Studied abroad...between planets n' stars...built beautiful thoughts from afar...call me...cosmotologist
Science of art...shootin' stars
Osmosis...spittin'
Bars
Psychosis
Infinite bandwith
Devour knowledge...like sandwich

I wrote this poem for you...
To teach me...
To reach you...
Masses
Glasses
Blurred...half empty...
Catch Symphony from written scriptures...

I'm not Jesus
Yet my thesis
Is
Visionary
Catch vibe through vocab...dictionary
Taurus...
Built thesaurus
Bouncing synonymous
Antonyms
Viciously
Off rhyme schemes exemplary

I wrote this poem to inspire time
Free the mind
Unlock chains n' speak three languages...deaf, dumb n' blind

I wrote this poem...not for attention
But, to inspire decision
Realign socities thought process...solar system...
Sons n' daughters center Mother Earth n' Father Time...swinging life's pendulum, popping collars...
Chewing Starburst...sipping Starbucks in Java cafes darkness...counting seconds...third hands to time...tick tock...3 times...dearly departed...silence...pantomime

I wrote this...to free my mind
Connect thought to free world...n' be  design

I wrote this poem
For you

This...hardcore
Strum
From
Heartbeat joint
For you

In mind...melody, guitar n' strings
Yet, God knows I cannot sing
But these thoughts kept meddling
With my subconscious...
Unconsciously

KARDASHIAN

I'm angry...I feel like sometimes these kids wanna live like Kardashians
N' the point we're trying to preach is past them...

Like...we owe them...they don't cherish us...
N' have missed the bus
Completely...living life in a rush
Unherald of forefathers
N' mothers...ancestor
As generations
Become
Parents to society of gimme...or get jacked...
Or you're supposed to have my back
Without realizing
Sacrifices made...to shelter, feed and put clothes on their backs...

N' all we ask...is that they behave
Set standards for themselves when we're not around to engage
Like, where did we go wrong with prioritizing
Silver linings???
Showing them...that the world has problems
But it's up to them
To figure each one
To compartmentalize n' become
Their own
Champion

Like...where did we allow mannerisms to walk out the door
To accepting yeah...naw...rather than...yes, no sir ma'am
Please...thank you...or you're welcome

Have we taught our children that life is dandelions n' daisies
Or it's okay to be lazy
Without showing them that tough love
Is punishment followed by a hug

Where have daddies gone from raising their children
To mommies...feeling it's okay to accepting nothingness
As consequence
Rather than understanding it takes a village to raise a child's confidence...
N' to make this less
Sexist
There's father's filling roles...in motherless homes

We've compromised ourselves...
Acting as if we are parents of the year...
With high hopes...expectations...that our seeds grow in colleges n' universities n' establish careers

We have to...teach them
To become
Second to none
Other n' conquer
Their fears....
Make dreams reality...
Make us proud to shed tears

Our children feed on reality shows
N' nicknames w/ money associated within
Knowing damn well...the truth is...their lives is less Kardashian

Society...wake up neighbor...
Teach our children to love themselves from within...
Teach them...that every bully wears a grin...
Show them that ownership
Is ethic
In characteristic
Skin deep
N' that everyone we meet...will not always be friends...

Life is not of a Kardashian...nor a party sans The Weeknd
We are dumb to think freedom is free
Teach them to earn their keep...as the years go by...their ageless eyes will see...
Eventually the message we speak...
Will be theirs to use to mentor...the  eyes of their children, their future of whom...now ancestors we be...

FOOD...

You must overcome adversity...to find prosperity.#osmosisthoughtz

LEADERSHIP IS NOT DICTATORSHIP

Leadership should not ever be viewed/confused as a dictatorship. As leaders we should be mindful of those that we are leading and understand that the input of those that surround us matter. As I've stated a number of times...teaching goes both ways and feedback is a means of gaining knowledge/self awareness through those who are close to/around you. Therefore, leaders are teachers, but mindfully we are still students in the same. The people that we lead...are different in many ways (shapes, size, origin...etc). Ultimately, you will deal with them differently and with that...you must take the bad with the good in order to better yourself simultaneously. Imagine this...you (leader) have a 500 piece jigsaw puzzle (your people)...every piece will group with another (shapes, size, origin)...as the leader...you are charged with fitting those pieces (different shapes, sizes origin) together. You are charged with building from each weakness of the 500...to complete a beautiful display (I.e. the bigger picture)....therefore..."buy in" starts with the leader...and you must conform yourself to earn it. #osmosisthoughtz
