One Minute Society

How much worse does it have to get before we say STOP I just want to hear something nice to hear

How much take your clothes off music do we have to listen to, to remember a simple lyric about anything else

Don't sit to listen to stories of how everything is bad

Don't go to movies where you leave disturbed or had to watch many get killed to be excited about the movie

Don't go to events or share your time where it takes away from you, your family, your friends

Don't eat foods that will make you wish you didn't the rest of the day

Stop doing the stuff that we know doesn't make us feel better

Stop saying the things that you know you are saying because you are hurt and you are passing it along by hurting others with it

Stop paying to do the things that make the ills of souls more worth showing us then the best of us

We have come to pay attention to people messing up, talking about them, giving attention because we are just glad it is not us

We are better than that

Stop yourself when you find yourself ready to speak on something that you wouldn't want to speak about you

Stop yourself when you are upset at someone and you want them to know it rather than understand their point

Stop yourself when you say no to someone because you didn't want to take the time to say yes

And on the other hand, don't say yes to something that you don't want to do because you can't say no

We are putting a lot of pressures on ourselves that really don't need to be

WE are so scared to say the truth that we will say anything but the truth at times to make it go away

WE are so scared to say truth, just because we will feel like someone will then know what we want and we can't admit what we want even to ourselves let alone another person

If we give less attention to things we don't want to be and take some weird pleasure in seeing others do

And do as we want to be and not allow our energy to fill it's time with hardships

You will find that life has many things that are so much more pleasurable and less initially enticing

That life is forever for each of us, not a quick picture, gift or meal

We are us for the whole time we are here

We can fill it with a momentary "wow" that was cool, great, and then we forget it looking for something more

And the something mores live with us forever and nourishes us in our moments of quiet and calm

They excite the times we speak with others sharing our time, our meals, our interests and our music

We have to say "when" when it comes to what we accept

Whether it is the lowest grade fast food we take in our bodies

Or the lowest grade human behavior we begin to accept by allowing it space and time

Our respect for ourselves and then for others can only grow

As we learn to use different words to express ourselves

And different foods to nourish ourselves

And different stories to let into ourselves

We begin to see and feel hope

Carry and want love

For it's truth, not what we want from it

The One minute society is becoming old news, the has been of many generations

The One minute society is history, just like smoking a cigarette will make people wonder in 50 years how and why we would do such a thing

We have choices

And we have more choices

And out of all the choices we can make

We have to ask ourselves why we are too lazy to do the right things

Why our company and money makers bring out the things for money that end up being less for all of us

Our choices could only tell us who we are

And now our choices have to give us more

Who we want to be, now and tomorrow

Tomorrow really is today, stop tricking yourself into thinking then and not now

Promise you will listen to your heart and act on it's intentions

It is who you are...Stop saying, I don't know who I am

You do....we all do....we simply have to give it some airtime!
