The Atmosphere: It Was Violent / Vicious (Part Four)

 Looking for a shift in the atmosphere like the Jason Nelson gospel song.

Please! we're just trying to get over the hump per this HumpDay Extravaganza, staying strong..

..with supreme courage and maximum strength; what could go wrong? Brotha O? he's keeping it moving, futuristic, please! "I ain't done with tomorrow".

Your dude has next level aspirations but the past and the present? it's rough out here, they're still a complex macrocosm..

..leading to an emotional twist or two due to bad episodes that your dude is trying to clean up like a custodian or janitor; a lot of collateral damage that's due to pain and sorrow!

But I had to admit, I was comforted out there dropping this good word and the sound out there in waltzing gardens.. 

..similar to Quincy Jones / Barry White  / El DeBarge and others out in secret gardens? 

That's a cool atmosphere but life is hectic due to the violent  / vicious nature of these earthlings from Atlanta to over in the Middle East; Judgement Day? many will be looking for pardons!

The atmosphere shifted like paradigms and priorities so we found higher ground like Stevie Wonder mentioned..

Or even the Nathan East version featuring Kirk Whalum  so what's up / what's happening? actually?  solid ground needed, the devil and his advocates stay busy oh I paid attention..

..to words pastoral from that sinister minister aka artful dodger that were..

..leading to misfortune for many; please! I keep telling yall  it's rough out here!
