Correct does it need to be corrected

Correctly has no matter being correction

When a newborn entered its life healthy it’s correct.

As its life have see’s other live’s doing or has done wrong & not applied to it is corrected.

Being aware of the unwealthy & still live correctly does not have time nor space

being within correction.

As thee matter which means subject, object, or person taking up space needs to be corrected.

Correctly when & or as not applied an person of correction will address you correct.

Well no-thing’s nothing will appear & as nobody even no one shall arrive to have you corrected.

Even each entire Dept. sheriff correction officer will be corrected.

Head of chain of command leads correctly

by male man made laws correct, confirm, complete, correction, corrected,

CORRECTLY!?…

Poem from the <3 Heart by myself - Balance of Life

They see balance and they want to challenge or damage.

Thy heart <3 wants thy mind can’t percieve,

Bring in this state of pandemic a lot

of people run off envy and greed.

Our children look up to us

To balance their lives,

but from sitting in a 4×6 cell,

They can’t see how much we cry.

A true balance of life metaphoricly speaking

sometimes our heart <3 will die within.

We all miss our kin

Sometimes we have to tell our children,

beautiful lies to keep them happy inside.

Once is all it takes to upsetting thier normal lives,

That’s why it’s a must to have balance of life! 😊

How can we protect our goals;

When we are not being keepers of each other souls?

Obsessed with our past;

too blind to see our present.

Too caught up in current trash;

To understand our future’s present.

In a tureen; lost in a sea of oblivion;

looking for away out; out this morass material.

Reaching for a hand; to pull us up.

Event a rope or a ladder might make us jump.

Shedding tears of joy; and smiles of sorrow;

painfully hoping and happily despiring.

With pain so deep, like the marrow’s in our bones;

And comradery so fake, like a cartoon’s souls.

We both hungry for just a little refuge;

But, all we feed each other is plates of subterfuge.

Brainwashed to inure less;

When we are supposed to be our best.

How do we protect our goals;

When we are not keepers of each other souls?

So, place me deep, where you look within;

abyssed in your soul when you need a friend.

Place it dearly next to your heart,

But never negated when we are apart.

And even thought we have different mothers;

That doesn’t mean we can’t be prison brothers.

Hand in hand,

Side by Side;

GOD is beginning to change the tide.

So just hold on,

don’t let go;

may GOD let it be so!

Put GOD FIRST,

We have work to do,

And I onlhy want to;

Do it with you…

Let GOD in, your spirit

To HIM entrust;

And HE promises to

Lead us through:

The rest

Of this mess;

Into LOVE, Joy, peace

And FREEDOM

To do HIS work

And to live our BEST…

Life…

Im listening GOD,

You know ALL of my cares;

All of my Fears.

Even if I want to

keep them hidden;

but then it seems like I’m

put on the bench just

sitten…

Out of the game of life,

until I acknowledge,

Theres nothing GOD don’t already know;

So why put on a show?

We need to be completely real;

with the MAKER of the universe,

So we can learn in life how to deal!

The tides are changing; a new

Life is coming out of all this rearranging

Our GOD just keeps in reassuring without

blame; with HIM our lives will never

be the same…

JESUS showed HIMSELF to me;

And let me know, FAITH IS THE KEY!

I’ll never forget that day;

Or all HIS HEART has to say!

I believe, in faith: TO LOVE GOD 1st;

HE keeps us safe,

We’ve already been through the worst…

And I can see, just up ahead, is our victory!
