LIVING WELL: FOREVER LIVING




Health is wealth is an old adage
Take it seriously at an early age
Because having a good health
Is worth more than wealth

Proper diet and physical fitness
Will keep us away from sickness
Healthy thoughts can fuel our desires
Set us free when we're in a quagmire

Becoming mentally and physically fit
They don't just come in a medical kit
What we need without reservation
Constant work-out, hours of devotion

The hourglass is running out of sand
As the lonely sunset seems out of hand
Multi-vitamins and herbal remedy
May help, but not necessarily mentally

Healthy thoughts and a physically sound body
Will do wonders for everyone not just anybody
What are you waiting for, let's start a regimen
Proper diet and exercise to maintain acumen

Living healthy is living well
Living well is forever living…

POETIC LICENSE




Poetic words of love and wisdom
Spread throughout my kingdom
Although a critic says I'm an amateur
I refuse to the rule of pedantic culture
Casting a spell of grammarian's doom

We are now on the cutting edge of technology
Where the imagination is not limited to biology
Confining oneself within a form and structure
Only limits creativity, stark naked in the future
Keep an open mind, immerse yourself in theology

As an engineer I like to think outside the box
And as a poet, I'm witty as a quick desert fox
I like my poems to flow like water
Conventional thinking does not matter
As long as my sweet  verses always rock

I weave words of love and wisdom between shots of hennessy
For the present and future generations, this is my legacy
Poetry in many forms some of which are futuristic
Sometimes they are funny, sometimes erotic
The fire within rises, showers them with ecstasy

The wings of freedom carry my poetic license
With fervor burning kindled with lover's incense
Words filled with love from within my heart
Inked with blood and although it may hurt
But that's all I got and a lot of common sense
