The Reality, A Collection
Monique Nicole Fox

THE REALITY

The reality is, things shift
     facts change
     love disappears
     alliances alter
     rules are rewritten
     values are cast off
     and replaced by new ones
     expertise is challenged
     or termed fraudulent
     fashions come and go
Our lives are changed swift



FISHING FOR OUR DREAMS

Everyday we walk to our spots
Bait our hooks
Cast our lines

Sometimes no nibble to give us hope
Don't be frustrated
Don't be discouraged, just cope
Don't feel like you're at the end of a rope

Don't give up fishing for dreams
Persevere in life's ocean, sea, or streams

There's the catch of a lifetime
Out there waiting for us prime
Losing faith is a crime
Reel in your dreams anytime



BACKFIRE

The boomerang effect
Something to expect
What you put into the tape player you get back with eject
     what goes around comes back around
     at some point in our life hurt is bound
     lies and deceit will of course be found
Treat people as you want to be treated and with respect
Don't play on others intellect
Evil doing will come calling on you collect



PUNCTUATION MARK

When a man doesn't want you anymore. PERIOD
             assertive
                 desist
A point at which something is ended
An abyss of competition
A sign called stop
               declarative
                     halt
When there is a full pause at the end of a sentence. PERIOD



ABRUPT

LOVE IS BLIND
when your lover could do no wrong
when you walk around happy singing a romantic song
when you feel closeness and warmth like you belong

when you only see what you want to see
when your emotions are played on and climbed like a tree

when you are overwhelmed by the attention, companionship, and tranquillity
when you don't see the obvious things before your eyes and suffer humility
LOVE ISN'T KIND



LOVE GAME

To study negative emotion and behavior
Love is the savior
With unprovable assumptions

A subjective field
Too emotional that social scientists yield

Countless studies on war, hate, crime, and prejudice
Studies of love are often missed

Not comfortable studying love per se
But what happens when love is deficient, thwarted, warped, or absent do they
Love is a small word in life's ocean, sea, and bay
The game of love we all do play



FACING LOVE

To face love head - on afraid
With my heart someone once played
Hesitant I am made
A sort of traffic accident of the heart won't fade
My heart was cut with a blade

Vagueness of the word foiled
For another man I am spoiled
Vulnerability toiled
My rusted heart must be oiled

Understanding the appeal of music
Understanding what makes love tick
Understanding how to heal from heart sick
Understanding man's deceitful trick
Understanding how to cope with this blow--this lick
Understanding how to rebuild brick by brick

To face the majesty of love with vigor
To face the Serengeti of the heart like a trigger
To face the cupid's arrow now I'm much bigger
Love's a wholesome violence to figure



DO WE?

DO WE NEED SATAN
the evil one
the adversary
the prince of darkness
the father of lies
the enemy
the lucifer
the mephistopheles
the devil
the demon
the monarch of hell
the archfiend
DO WE NEED HATING



LIFE'S MAKE-UP CASE

Life is like a woman's make-up case
     many shades of eye shadow & eye liner
     many colors of lipstick & lip liner
     many tones of foundation
     many hues of blush
Many cultures but one human race



THE ROOT

Skin is like soil
That people love to ponder & toil

And try to dehumanize & demoralize
Yet you can still organize
Yet you can still strategize
Yet you can still conceptualize
That the power is truth internalize



ONE RACE

One color should matter: GREEN
not black not red
not white not yellow
So much emphasis on color: OBSCENE
not black not red
not white not yellow
We all are a human: BEING



LIFE'S OCEAN

That Ocean Of Men And Boys
That Ocean Of Sadness And Joys
That Ocean Of Kids And Toys

That Ocean Of Disease Like Aids
That Ocean Of Homo's And Gays

That Ocean Of Violence And Drugs
That Ocean Of Pushers And Thugs
That Ocean Of Vacuums And Rugs
That Ocean Of Sockets And Plugs
That Ocean Of Ants And Bugs

That Ocean Of War And Welfare
That Ocean Of People That Do Not Care
That Ocean Of Hurt And Despair
That Ocean Of Parents Not Being A Pair

That Ocean Of Women And Men
That Ocean Of Sex And Sin
That Ocean Of Beer And Gin

That Ocean Of Marriage And Divorce
That Ocean Of Sad Children Of Course



TO SET FREE

From Education Comes Liberation
From Oppression Comes Mental And Moral Stimulation

From Restrictions Comes Knowledge And Skills Obtained
From Controls Comes Intellect And Understanding Gained

From Confinement And The Dark Comes The Light
So Set Your Soul Free And Erudite

From Servitude Comes Scholarship
Never Stop Learning Is My Tip
