Devil In A New Dress

Today I was driving to the Bay Area and talking about how Paul Walker died so tragically this past weekend. I started reading about what celebrities were saying about Walker and to sum it up, he was a down-to-earth guy who knew there was more to life than a glamorous Hollywood lifestyle. He started a charity to give back to people less fortunate who faced tragedy because of natural disasters. I started to wonder, why is it always the good people who go?  It's never the people who this world would be better without. Then I realized, if the good ones weren't taken away, life wouldn't be put in perspective. We wouldn't realize just how much we have to lose. I started to think about death and if I were to die tomorrow, what would my legacy be? What would people say about me? I hope I would be remembered for good things, not bad.   Steve Jobs said that thinking about death is the only way he knew how to live.  Maybe we all need to think that way so we live...

Sometimes I sit and wonder, If Romeo really loved Juliet Or if she still lived, would she be a capulet I wonder if Al Pacino never lived, Would we still have Scarface Or if drugs didn't exist, Would there still be a reason to shoot up the place? I wonder if Obama didn't win the election, Who would be the face of hope Or would Americans just find another way to cope If there was no economic crisis, what would the dilemma be Or would we resort back to the fight against poverty? I wonder if the bum at the corner begging for pocket change and pennies, Is gonna use his income for a bottle of henny I wonder if we still had laws of prohibition, Would alcoholic men still beat on helpless women Or would they find a way to continue their sippin, and all of their other deadly addictions? I wonder if MJ never died, Would people still rep him with a sense of pride Would Tupac still be rappin' if he never got shot Finding ways to kill wit...
