“My Truth”
Though the truth is hard to swallow
I cut it into little pieces
Place it on a platter
Serve it to the planet
Many times it felt my heart is taking my feelings for granted
So I decided to write them
I took my wrongs and right them
I face my fears and fight them
I let my tears flow freely
I used to hide them
Dear God I now feel inspired
By this seen & all the fire
From within me
Provide me with the tools to teach my own
So when they’re grown
They don’t change by their surroundings
They hold their own and change their surroundings
And the world, we need a prophet
To remind us there is more to life than profit
So give me strength to carry the weight of the hopeless
It’s weighing on my mind so heavily
I’m loosing focus
So I take a sip of that drink and a puff of that smoke
Trying to clear my mind
But a wise man said to me one time
You can’t clear your mind if your heart’s full of dirt
So I scratch out the words that I’ve written
And Dig deep in my heart for a little piece of heaven
And I thank God for everything I’m given
And I realize the food on my table is not a RIGHT, It’s a blessing
So, in case you’re guessin,
Where is he going with this…
NO WHERE
I wake up the next morning and commit the same sins again.

"The old man said…"
People move for less taxes and better circumstances
We move so the bombs don’t catch us
He said…
Tell the young ones, you know, the young guns
To put down the weed and the smoke and drink
And to start to think, And to start to wonder
You ever wonder why we ALL can’t wait for heaven
Cause everyday in our land is Nine-Eleven
It’s the end of the world as we know it
Don’t look to CNN for answers, they don’t show it
The Young child asked “Mommy, why are they trying to kill us with guns and things?”
She said, “We’re in a war son”
He looked up teary eyed and said, “I don’t know what that means”
“Is Daddy coming home?”
“No baby, you’ll understand when you're grown.”
“One day you will fight for your heart and all the pain that exists
Makes me cry inside to know... you’ll be labelled a terrorist.”

“Some of Us”
Lets talk circumstances
Some of us have it, some of us don’t
Some of us will, some of us won’t
Some of us care, some of us don’t
Some of us waste these precious hours
Some of us have minutes like dying flowers
Some of us live, some of us dream
Some of us are living our dreams
Some of us sweat blood for that cash
Some of us get it by any means
Some of us care for the hopeless
Some of us are filled with bogus
Some of us cry, some of us try
Some of us just need to know why
Some of us are caught up with the trend
Some of us only need a friend
Now , I’m not asking for the world to change
But I am asking... some of us…

“I’m Mad at Us”
I’m mad at us, cause we care when it’s too late
I’m mad at us, cause we’ve replaced love with hate
I’m mad at us, cause what we use for war we also call faith
I’m mad at us, cause we grew up too fast, our hearts became rocks too fast
I’m mad at us, cause we eat till our stomach hurts
I’m mad at us, cause what we call disasters is life to some
I’m mad at us, cause we cry for the dead and still don’t appreciate the living
I’m mad at us, cause “cherish the moment” is just saying
I’m mad at us, cause friendship is just a phrase
I’m mad at us, cause we’re separated by shades
I’m mad at us, cause happiness is just a phase
I’m mad at us, cause by the time we realize we’re ONE, it will be too late to put down the gun
I’m mad at us…..because I’m mad at us.
