Materialistic World
Judged by What You Have & Don’t Have
- Oh boy! What a world we live in/ Human life is seen as nothing without a worldly possession/ It’s even worse than going against the grain or doing what is forbidden/ Because to live without certain things like enough money will have you stressing/ Bills you need to be paid, money needs to be made/ Most people earn it only, the money that has been calculated by the powers higher than management/ That counted money that has already been allocated by the establishment/ To have a house, a car and a business is ideal, so you can feel like you made it and be affluent/ No vehicle?/ I’ll say you’ll see it through/ Life is a wrestling match, the experiences are not unbeatable/ Renting vs owning now has a huge margin, no thin line/ Cash offers have ruined the market for mortgage loans to flourish, they want someone who has cash to buy/ Interest rates now are ridiculous, they’re far too high/ Better wear designer clothes/ Because people will realize you’re fly by your wardrobe/ But that’s if you are self-conscious about dressing to impress/ Some don’t care, like myself, I just take pride in what I wear nonetheless/ But I still put on some known name brands because it’s quality & so I can look my best/ How I get around? How do you want me to respond?/ Bus, train, Lyft or Uber/ If you don’t have a car, you’re looked down upon/ It’s a necessity, no doubt, will get one in the near future/ But you can still get around without it/ But if you don’t have it, you fall into a certain category in our society like the downtrodden/ People who are either homeless and poor, or in public housing/ The homeless can’t do anything for themselves/ Their as good as dead because they need to beg people for money to eat, it doesn’t end well/ Without someone giving them some spare change, they can’t fend for themself/ Some get upset when you ignore them when they ask, or say no or say you don’t have/ It’s frustrating being broke and poor, huh?/ No kidding, money is always something you’re begging for, bruh/ You starving, so go through the garbage/ Trying to get food to eat, yeah, this life is the hardest/ No mercy for the weak, you’ll get eaten alive like a harvest/ It’s everyone for themself and God for us all/ If you can’t fend for yourself, you’re at a loss man, you’ll fall/ Who doesn’t want the finer things in life/ Jewelry, clothes, fancy cars, designer things that’s nice/ Yeezys, Jordans, diamond rings that’s bright/ We all want some kind of bling that shines like sunlight/ Nike, Gucci, Dolce and Gabbana/ True Religion, Timberlands and dudes love to smoke weed, the ganja/ IPhones, smart watches, who doesn’t believe in reaping they seed and karma?/ if a man can’t provide in this world, homie is a goner/ Money ain’t a thing, Jermaine Dupri said that, it’s not supposed to be a bother/ But it is unfortunately, sorry, it’s a reminder/ Or kind of like the kente cloth that’s solely from Ghana/ Rich vs the poor, it’s a no brainer, choose, it’s like you’ll go and feed the piranhas/ Meaning the rich feed the poor the bread crumbs, it’s all about the notes, the proceeds, the dollars/ Face it, let’s be realistic/ This world’s materialistic/ It’s about earning that counted money for us that work 9 to 5/ We gotta become money makers before our time expires, keep it in mind as you strive/ Work hard, go hard and grind to live a better life/ Facts! Don’t fall off the ladder you climb, maintain the drive/ We live in a material world!

An Effective Leader
What exactly can be considered as effective leadership? What must a leader exhibit or possess? We have good examples of leaders in history that will never be forgotten, because of the kind of characteristics they had, which made them stand out. They brought on board amazing instances of leadership, which have been well-noted. The essential characteristics are what I am going to cover in the paragraphs following my introduction. As a leader, you must possess certain qualities that are unique and unmatched by the average individual.

The Layers Of Healing
On March 7th, 2022, my life changed drastically when I escaped domestic violence. Since then, I have begun to understand the true extent of what I survived, and I have been forced to take a deep look within to learn why I, and so many others, didn’t see their situations for what they truly were. In that journey, I have begun to see the patterns that led to the past. In most cases of domestic violence, the red flags present themselves right away; however, most victims have other circumstances that lead them not to see or straight-up ignore them. With self-love and motivation, you can heal your soul and live your best life.
