"I'm Only Human"
  by JayLegit


Understand the type of man that I am, Human
Two legs and two hands, Human
Two ears & two eyes, Human
One body & spine, Human
One heart & one mind, Human

Notice, that I did not mention the mouth
I'd rather listen closely than shout out loud
Tat'd on my brother's arm is this written
"Knowledge Speaks, Wisdom Listens"
Engraved in his skin, burned right in him
Forever his life and I was right there with him

Use your body to your advantage
With that said, let me elaborate my language
You have two ears and two eyes
But only one mouth
Use what there is more of
And you'll clearly find out
The more you speak, the less you hear
The more you hear, the more you'll know
The more you'll know, the wiser you are
And wisdom is priceless

They say to go with your heart.....
If your heart is fragile, you better use your mind
I wouldn't want to see your mind go blind
Go with your heart, but know where you're going
You can't accomplish much, honorably, without even knowing
Your foundation should be stable
The backbone of your decisions
Stable & sturdy, leave out intermissions
The spine of the mind is a gift that's Lord given
Your heart is the life, the core and the engine
But, don't neglect the mind selfishly
Listen to words of worth, feed the mind healthily
Watch who you're around, they might take your life stealthily
And if you've talked more than heard, you might lose your life
helplessly

this one flowed very well.. sometimes people neglect to realize that we are all human... " you cant accomplish much, honorable, without even knowing your foundation should be stable the backbone of your decision" i love that line
