Don' wanna conquer the world

I don' want a palace with golden lines
I don' want a limo driving me to a stage
don' want million men calling ma name

don' want ma name on television screens
don' want statues made for ma name
don' want ladies dying for ma fame

A perfect life I do not seek
for trophies will gather dust in time
n' applause will fade as it flies

there will be a river with sandy shores
I will have a tree with grape n' vines
beside that there be my house
may she be the mistress, best friend and spouse
with deers and rabbits and hippos and ants
with vegan lions and bears and hyenas
mermaids swimming dancing and chilling

may there be some neighbors wise
all are nice and nights all bright
we sing around the fire so high
we sing 'till it fades in sky

life to the fullest or the simplest
or to find the meaning, a beginning
may be the simplest, still unsure..............

Give 'em all, expect none

Dear blog,
Though you consider yourself as a generous helpful person or not, you might have come across situations where it seems like even though you've done and tried your ass off something or to help someone, you ain' quite getting anything. That my friend, might be the worst mistake a wise man would ever make. If you're helping out someone don' help 'em out with something in the back of your head. If you're doing something, always do it from your heart. In a simple day to day act or even in a big land fair donation, don' expect even a simple thank you. They might appreciate it if they're nice enough, that's jus' their business. Jus' don' give a shit of what the others might say, good or bad, if you're doing it from your heart n' if you know that it is right. Bottom line, "Give 'em all, expect none"
Respect.
