Frozen Feeling

The bitter winter encases us in cold
“Move somewhere warm” is what I’ve been told
If it were that easy, it would be done
I’d love to experience the constant warmth of the sun

Regardless, the weather will be what it is
Stagnating outdoor activity with horrid driving conditions
It’s easier to warm up than to stay cool
In my opinion though these winters are far too cruel

Snowfall isn’t all that bad
But at this point the constant sight makes me mad
I’m use to seeing all four seasons
But still wouldn’t mind a different experience for many reasons

As I sit here in a bit of complaint
There are far worse circumstances to exclaim
So many things that need our awareness
In an effort to fight back against real unfairness

Look at the greater issues, not just your own
Many problems out there that need to be atoned
Don’t walk around like a mindless drone
Think for yourself, so you can formulate a comfort zone

Now step away from your phones
Go against the things you don’t condone
Rise up against the evils that grow
No matter what the weather decides to throw

Time Warp

They awake to find a change
Was it something of fate or destiny
Left waiting, their goal is in range
Never give up building a legacy

You dream, wish, and hope
That you reach your goals
Instead of slipping down a treacherous slope
But without hard work, that vision may fold

Motivation and dedication need to arise in this nation
Away from the greed and explicitly placed aggravation
When did this culture formulate such sadistic views
Operated by the public or just following what the media wants you to do

Social networking can be just fine
But many have lost themselves, making it their shrine
In due time many will soon whine
Wondering where the time went as it quickly passes them by

Look at your loved ones in this moment
Make your memories something that was chosen
Appreciate that which you take for granted
Because it can be taken away at any given second

Contributions

It’s a necessary situation
To ponder your contributions
Soliciting selfishness or selfless inclusion
There are varying degrees of personal infusions

What makes you unique
When did you reach your peak
Are you rough edged or smooth and sleek

Each experiment has a hypothesis
Are your priorities in order or do you lack confidence
Too many these days caught up in belligerence
So their special qualities aren’t truly be experienced

Time and time again you hear about interventions
Trying to persuade someone to leave an addiction
All that time wasted within the distractions
Leaves one wondering what could’ve happened

The time it takes to break
Is minuscule, given all the hate
Many try to escape
But running away doesn’t provide positive change

So what grinds your gears
Taking action could help prevent fear
If not this year, then when
Because your effort should always reflect one-hundred percent
