Downsize your downsides
To increase potential.
Don’t forget the exercise,
Physical and mental.
No respect in retrospect,
All are due and proper.
Have to know what to expect,
What you have to offer.
Circumscribe your certain vibe,
Circumcise your heart.
Have to stand for what you strive
For, have to work so hard.
If reward is really worth?
What’s the cost of entry?
Try to keep your given word,
There is no exemption.
Downsize your downsides…
Oh, just forgot to mention:
Don’t you let those minor lies
Ruin your credentials.

No single day of his was same
I know he wouldn’t risk it.
He spends his nights in window bays
Around San Francisco.
A foot and inch to rest his head.
For feet just seven inches.
His life has taken twist and bend,
Which would a lot leave speechless.
Sometimes he gets some chance to sleep,
But often robbed and bitten.
The window bays are never deep
Enough to keep the heat in.
It has to be an early start,
Before the shop would open.
A run to gentleman’s at Bart
To fill his flask with water.
All day along in search of food,
Short rest beneath an oak tree.
And nothing could affect his mood,
A maverick from Berkeley.
