Are there issues in life that you need to push through?
Is there something you want to do?
Get after it!
Are you tired of fighting to get through the day?
Of obstacles put in your way?
Get after it!
Do you keep looking for the right moment to start?
You carry a dream in your heart?
Get after it!
Sick and tired of looking for your reason why?
Is there something you want to try?
Get after it!
You don’t want to spend your whole life wondering how;
The answer is start moving now!
Get after it!

We are born as uncertainties
With futures we can’t know
They’re full of possibilities
Of many ways to go
As the years keep moving forward
Our path may not be clear
If we don’t choose one to move toward
The best will disappear
So make your choice, and make it well
For when you must ascend
Good or bad, there’s no way to tell
Until you reach the end

As info downloads via ear
And language is spread by finger
As lifetimes are learned in a year
As loved ones long lost can linger
We all must not forget our past
Or who we truly are at heart
If we are all going to last
We have to remember our start
– Shaman Romney 2019
The meek shall not inherit the earth
If it means they are weak
It takes a great amount of strength
To turn the other cheek
Someone needs a lot of power
To choose to stay their hand
To keep their emotions in check
Their pride under command
Acts of kindness do not matter
If you couldn’t be bad
It’s when you choose to be better
That virtue will be had

I seek pleasure in the material
But the effort is a waste
I seek succour in the ethereal
But can’t aquire the taste
I seek refuge in the familiar
But it’s all turned to stone
I seek shelter among others
But my thoughts are alone
– Shaman Romney 2019
Out with the old
In with the new
Welcome the changes
Whether good or ill
Things will keep moving
So try not to stumble
Keep up the pace
And continue the adventure

Coughing up a cacophony
Body feeling achy
Lungs bucking like a pony
Knees getting shaky
Head pounding like a drummer
Mind getting hazy
Being sick is a bummer
At least I can be lazy
– Shaman Romney 2019
No matter how I plead or try
I cannot change my fellow man
No matter how I beg or cry
I cannot make him understand
The only thing that I can do
Is live my life the best I can
Through actions I hope to show you
How to become a better man
– Shaman Romney 2019
If I hold ideals,
Am I not obligated
To live them myself?
—
In failure, I grow
Into someone with the chance
To fail yet again
—
Life: a sacrifice
To the gods, or to our fate
Willing or afraid
—
My life is fleeting
The amount is just a crumb
But the taste is sweet
– Shaman Romney 2019
Suffering from brain drain
From going against the grain
But I can’t complain
Because I no longer have to explain
My mind gets to be blank
And if I have to be frank
I have stopped the crank
It’s this stillness my thoughts finally thank.
But I don’t get to cheer
The time to restart is here
And as it draws near
The stillness of my mind will disappear
