Life is a Beach: We should Live on It! (A Beach Bum's Poem)

 Life is a beach and not all things in this world are fair. We know this and we know that we can only influence things only so much. So I'm trying to come up with a good little jingle on life and life's unfairness from a beach bums perspective.

Let's not take things too serious. I have the wrong type of name so everything I do going to be an issue. It makes little difference who I am as a person (at least to some). That is the danger of hate...it marginalizes a huge percentage of society and while I might feel its unfair...many feel that is the way it should be. It creates barriers where there should be none. That often comes from the values people project.

Convincing people to reach for something greater takes a little effort. It also comes with all of the risks. Rollin the dice with moral conscious. :) Ok seriously this poem has got to be the dumbest poem I ever wrote! 🤣 If you embrace the truth, you can help others acknowledge the need to make out nation competitive. We are beginning to see the the benefits of fairness and human motivation.  Being diagnosed a genius doesn't mean things will be more fair (I don't feel like a genius that is just what a couple people said based on some preliminary assessments). I'm just a single dad raising mixddbrace kids in uphill conditions.

I don't want to leave you hanging. All systems can change and if your positive, polite, and work toward the greater good it makes no difference what anyone else thinks. Many are struggling to find their own way in life, some never see beyond their own nose, and yet we have an obligation to give back whatever little wisdom we can no matter who disagrees with it. I pray for wisdom and helping others to embrace a better way.

I don't plan on becoming a full beach bum, just someone who sort of tries to enjoy each day. Focuses on what is important. There are certain values we all have and we should all share. They may be buried in plain sight.  The good news is we can turn the unfair into an opportunity. Flip the script on hate for a learning opportunity.

I come from hard knocks I can trach others to overcome. The moral of the story is....you have to answer that for yourself. 

The Beach Bums Poem

Toes in the sand, 

listening to a band. 

Life is unfair,

wear jeans with a tear!
