Melo- I can’t imagine, a life without compassion

the art of love is compassion, lacking it

from others, lacking it from yourself, then the world

is a scary ass place

I’m lost, I’m lost

what are you doing? I’m waiting for

FAMILY

ohana education 101, the essence of family

is compassion, roots and bonds tied for centuries

tied all the way to the creator God’s self

family serves as a foundation

a relocation of one’s self with others

a tie that is bound together by a word

meaning lineage, honor, love, friendship

but most of all compassion

we are only human aren’t we?

compassion is what keeps relationships in tact

it’s what keeps everything together

the lack of it is what can destroy everything

or break it apart

so when the world turns on you

and you feel empty

lost

your family is gone

or inaccessible

first look to God

then realize that the biggest lack of compassion

if you’re feeling THAT alone

is coming from yourself

Melo- Day Dreaming

Day dreaming has a new meaning

Its like dreams have a new meaning

Standing ten feet from me are cute cows, purple pants

and of course, blue moccasins

Really does sound like a dream don’t it?

But I’m awake, so let’s call it day dreaming

With a new kind of, meaning

Like a new essence of being

Where it looks like I’m looking at the essence of beauty

Everyday now feels like that crazy maze of dreams that we have at night

One minute your doing something, the other

You find yourself with the most certified fly girl of your life

Counting tulips inbetween allergy induced sniffles

Feeling like Billy Joel in a beautiful lounge but your actually playing Chris Brown

and always ending the day with seven tagalog syllables

That every sappy lovey dovey filipino movie ends with

So I say to myself, I must be dreaming

The funny thing is

That I am

and I’m wide awake
