Receive and contribute, <br />To the giving of that which is good. <br />Be appreciative and grateful, <br />As if with a getting of your blessings... <br />This becomes a duty and by you understood. <br /> <br />'You know... <br />I can not begin to have a pleasant day, <br />Before 'someone' comes along... <br />Trying to mess it up, <br />Just after dawn. <br />It is much too early in the morning, <br />For me to hear that. <br />Why don't people like you, <br />Find another path to cross.' <br /> <br />To know love to give, <br />Is the ultimate peace. <br /> <br />'Oh yeah? <br />Well let me tell you a thing or two about love. <br />I...? <br />What the...? <br />Okay. <br />You playing with me? <br />You a ventriloquist or something? ' <br /> <br />~Brother? <br />You know... <br />I can not begin to have a pleasant day, <br />Before 'someone' comes along... <br />Trying to mess it up, <br />Just after dawn. <br />It is much too early in the morning, <br />For me to hear that. <br />Why don't people like you, <br />Find another path to cross.~ <br /> <br />'What's going on? ' <br /> <br />~I don't know. <br />But I strongly suggest. <br />You take two steps away from me.~<br /><br />Lawrence S.
