Imagine there's no countries. It isn't hard to do. Nothing to kill or die for. And no religion, too. Imagine all the people, living life in peace.... - snippet from the song Imagine, by John Lennon
Imagination Is Far From Exaggeration
2023, Henery X ©
I write, rap, and produce
Only trees in Florida possess more juice
Than this Michigan Made Man
I’m attempting to squeeze a million dollars from a hundred grand
I know, helluva pen game
WritePath my pen name
And my pen game
For no games
All I write is fire so you can call me the eternal flame
The way I play with words
I’m willing to bet my life it’s a way you’ve never heard
Because when it comes to me originality is preferred
I fight hard to stand out
Find the unbeaten path and then booby trap the route
See, admiration
Shouldn’t include emulation
Seeing that the imagination
Is far from exaggeration
You just need to start trusting the thoughts you think
Seeing the thoughts you think
Will ensure you’ll either swim or sink
Everyday we all stand on the brink—
Of greatness
But the average person hesitates
To take that leap of faith
And out of fear of the unknown
But my only fear is being empty handed when I return home
So I dive head first
Praying for the best, and never being concerned about the worst
See, I’m motivated by an unquenchable thirst
To outdo what I’ve already done
Competition is none
Because you're like the Moon and I'm like the Sun
In other words, in due time
We'll both shine
And I don't have a problem with being at the front or the back of the line
See, self-improvement
Is the make of my movement
So when others see me
They’ll see all they can be
And begin to set themselves free
From the mindset of society
Imagination should be used, not to escape reality, but to create it.-Colin Wilson
