Love My People

Some folks just ain't going to like you. You can't give your life to.
Malcolm read his scripture, hoping you'd get the picture.
The only one y'all recall is at the window with the rifle.

Still can't get the picture. Framed in time--symptoms blind. Shame and a crime.

Loving unconditionally is tricky. Bill Cosby tried that and is about to get twenty years. That's not a rape joke. Ultimately love has to push through. Unharnessed, visceral emotion that fills your chest and cheeks with electric passion. Getting in your feelings is bad. Living in your feelings is beautiful.

Keeping pace and momentum in life is love. Love by example. For example, don't turn the other cheek--move forward. Hurt and hate are there no matter what. What matters is that they do not dictate direction. Love is taking losses with the same smile that comes in wins.

Love is patient. Love is kind. Don't brag or boast. King James got poetic and very real.

Can't force love but you can show it. Without bragging. Easy to say. Harder to do.

Love is learning. Learning requires failure. In love we all going to fail.

Just learn from it.
