An old poem I wrote back in 2015
Treat people like you would want to be treated
Post your achievements online, then others retweet it
That's the world of today, women super conceited
If I say "Hi", she say "Bye", now I'm feeling defeated

What happened in this world? Image is everything
Money is power, people want to live like a king
We all have the same dream, but some of us wake up
To face reality when others choose to wear the make up

I'm not real, I'm just an ordinary guy
Honest Abe, and like George, I cannot tell a lie
Cheaters never prosper, except when they eating lobster
Some people serve an act, they deserve an Oscar

Why are we obsessed with women's physical presence?
What are we showing our daughters, what is the message?
Perfection lies in the form, its social acceptance
But the body is a temple that comes from the heavens

Imagine if our image went away, can our spirit light the way
To a new era, without the use of mascara
Or will our souls give weigh, shrivel up, and decay
Or will it stay true to the roots; aloe vera

People are quick to display their physical essence
But hesitant to showcase their mental residence
A mind is a terrible thing to waste, learn the lessons
And accept everything you receive as a blessing
