Attention Whore

We’ve lost our way in favor of a payday.

It’s a shame to say,

but we don’t value what we used to.

A pretty face, a stuffed wallet, a degree, all seem to mean so much more than WE.

How do we move forward,

If it’s all about me, me, me?

Marketing agencies tell us diamonds last forever,

Because they don’t believe in God.

Religion has it all wrong as well,

This is why so many of the youngins are playing COD as if under a spell.

In a world where BBLs, plastic surgery, and makeup are the norm,

Do we even know how to recognize a natural form?

The Bible gave us a clue,

But most have no idea what is really true.

Opportunists in the church expect you to listen to them,

And question not what they do,

While all along, living by a different law.

Karma is her name,

And dharma is the path to the soul’s gain.

Social media won’t ever make you whole,

Don’t get it confused;

Your ego is only getting swole.

Attend to yourself, but not in the way you think.

Honor thyself,

Your life is but your ink.

The things that are popularized,

I mostly despise.

Where is the love?

It’s highly unlikely to be searching for you

At the (strip) club.

No disrespect, I understand the hustle,

I just can’t comprehend all of the bustle.

I’m much more of an introvert and enjoy my own company,

Maybe that’s the reason I’ve yet to find someone to be one with me.

Grateful to God every day that I wake,

This life isn’t easy, now I’m sounding like Drake.

Started from the bottom now I’m here,

Done stressing about the world’s problems,

Let’s bring it some cheer!

Don’t be an attention whore,

But stand at attention, whore

when love is knocking at your door.
