Without Race or Color of Skin
Lifting our banner high, we nourish the dreams that nothing can smother
Chasing freedom that keep fleeing, out of ignorance and lack of tolerance light must shine
No matter how long the struggle we still strive, breaking down barriers even behind bars
Now I realize the blessings that are deeded to us all,” freedom” it can’t be bought, stolen or sold
Many wars has been fought many lives have been lost, no score to be counted no measure to yield
Peace is valued in the land of the free; we must keep fighting to truly keep our children free
We must not let our dreams be shattered by the lull of despair
Our spirit cannot be penetrated in defense of darkness, tucked, torn or scorned
Think purpose, peace and promise and what it takes to get us there
Rally your soul on this sacred journey
Always anticipating happiness and the submission of excitement
Revolutionize relationships and keep telling your story
Our supernatural imagination will capture the vision
Clarity and judgment is not translucent when our day is gray
This language is not ordinary and can only be available to the happy and free
Power is a treasure to be released unborn

Humanity
Why do we long and crave human company,
When together they can cause trouble and strife,
But solitary loneliness challenges ones insanity,
Feelings and emotions struggle in this life,
I did not ask to be who I am,
This makeup of me is all that I have within,
At times tears can well and flow for quite a span,
Memories of good, bad and sad send my head in a spin,
One converses with words, emotions and sound,
When alone these feelings are in compartments all aligned,
But silence of walls and ones mind confound,
Without human company were are all in a bind,
Love is the biggest devastation to ones heart,
Hit by the bolts of blue, feelings and emotions collide,
Fired by the closeness and longing creates a new start,
Inevitably sometimes things falter and slide,
Trying to keep ones humanity in balance,
Crying or laughing out loud hysterically,
It`s like matching that quilt with the valance,
The noise is needed to prove that this is my reality,
So one claws from the depths of depressed life,
Fighting those closing walls of silent insanity,
This is why we put up with the trouble and strife,
Because we all need to belong to the family of Humanity.

About this poem:
Sometimes one dwells too much on what is going on around them and this can become an obstinacy in ones mind.
We The Peep Hole
We the peep hole
In order to form a more perfect camera
Establish injustice
Insure domestic uncertainty
Provide for the common offense
Promote the general welfare state
Secure the curse of slavery to ourselves
And our posterity
Do ordain and establish this drone state
For the United States of America
For which it will fall
One nation under the dollar
With injustice for all
In order to form a more perfect camera
Establish injustice
Insure domestic uncertainty
Provide for the common offense
Promote the general welfare state
Secure the curse of slavery to ourselves
And our posterity
Do ordain and establish this drone state
For the United States of America
For which it will fall
One nation under the dollar
With injustice for all

About this poem:
Seem a little closer to the reality we have here than the original writing.
Inspired Meditation to Change the World
Intelligent observation with the dubious nerve to print the word
Negotiating the intricate conditions with clearly stated terms
Systematically laid out to all peoples, so our words might be heard
Perfectly imperfect, as the human race innately knows how to do
Idealistic without fervor of the extreme zealot of the few
Remembering our histories when we let tyranny continue
Education without stealing inalienable human rights
Demarcation of expectations continually executed in the light
Mediocrity ceased without ordering an unwarranted fight
Excellence in keeping the code sacred that no one will be above
Delicately written in all tongues as perfect trust and perfect love
Idioms of our entire species considered simply because
Together we unconditionally forgive and care for each other
Animated in essence as we share this planet, our great Earth Mother
Temperance in the true definition, softening our angry demeanor
Intrepid to explore the future without the acidity in our heart
Obviate worst expectations as each of us can and will do our part
Natant as we float on the pure energy of the divine to end and start
Thoughts evolving kinetic as they once were, no lies can be told
Oscillating between our differences as greatness unfolds
Sedulous in our goals with the end in mind for us to behold
Anticipation to deeds for the right and good of all
Visionary and efficient not repeating the fall
Exorcising the need for greed listening to the call
Training our minds to work miracles instead of chaos
Harkening to the global consciousness without a loss
Enlightened by the energy with our essence embossed
With freedom, liberty, literacy, prosperity and wealth
Organized by we the people of this blue planet in mean stealth
Recognizing our worthiness and a willingness to expel
Liege for no common reasoning in bigotry
Diligent efforts to erase hypocrisy
Negotiating the intricate conditions with clearly stated terms
Systematically laid out to all peoples, so our words might be heard
Perfectly imperfect, as the human race innately knows how to do
Idealistic without fervor of the extreme zealot of the few
Remembering our histories when we let tyranny continue
Education without stealing inalienable human rights
Demarcation of expectations continually executed in the light
Mediocrity ceased without ordering an unwarranted fight

About this poem:
A small taste of my political flavorings
I WISH
I WISH I COULD ALWAYS BE IN A STATE OF GRACE, BUT THATS NOT HOW THE WORLD WORKS!IT IS FILLED FOR THE MOST PART WITH MEANINGLESS JERKS!I WISH EVERYONE WOULD TREAT EACH OTHER NICE,BUT YOU SEE THEM EVERY WEEK WITH A BIG SMILE, AS THEY EXIT THEIR CHURCH,BUT THEN,THE REST OF THE WEEK; THAT SMILE TURNS TO ICE!WISHING IS A GOOD START, BUT THEN YOU HAVE TO STRIVE TO MAKE IT, A REALITY!I PERSONALLY WISH THAT NO ONE ELSE WILL EVER EXPERIENCE; A BROKEN HEART!

About this poem:
THERE ARE TOO MANY 2 LEGGED RATS WALKING ABOUT!MY BIGGEST WISH WOULD BE TO PUNISH THEM BEFORE THEY HURT ANYONE ELSE!Old Age Living
These twilight years of loneliness,
no one around for me to view,
surely being on ones own is not the best,
have even vacated the churches pew,
The four walls have now become my cave,
nourishment now taken just to fill the need,
looking out my window people pass by, not even a wave,
my life it seems is a vegitating seed,
I no longer have that adventurous clout,
crippling body is aging within,
all I can do is at the telly shout,
it seems old age is now a communual sin,
No one bothers to contact or check up on me,
constantly receiving those goddamn bills,
in this life I am no longer free,
all I do now is feed the rich mans tills.

About this poem:
It seems for some that ones life can become intolerably lonely as the years catch up on us especially those living on their own. Have you ever thought about your own future and where you might be?MELODY OF COMPLIMENTS
THERE IS NO WORLD WITHOUT LIVES
THERE IS NO LIFE WITHOUT BREATHE
THERE IS NO LOVE IN AN EMPTY HEART
THERE IS NO GRAVE WITHOUT DEATH
THERE IS NO FAITH WITHOUT
DOGMAS
THERE IS NO CREATURE, NOT CREATED
THERE ARE UPS AND DOWNS
THE HARDFACT IS:
SUCCESS DOES NOT DWELL IN THE SANCTUARY OF THOSE WHO FAIL TO TRY
THERE IS NO LIFE WITHOUT BREATHE
THERE IS NO LOVE IN AN EMPTY HEART
THERE IS NO GRAVE WITHOUT DEATH
THERE IS NO FAITH WITHOUT
DOGMAS
THERE IS NO CREATURE, NOT CREATED
THERE ARE UPS AND DOWNS
THE HARDFACT IS:
SUCCESS DOES NOT DWELL IN THE SANCTUARY OF THOSE WHO FAIL TO TRY

A FAMOUS LAWN TENIS FRIEND WON A TROPHY JUST AFTER NINE ATTEMPTSHow To Treat Women
Don't yell at them
Don't hit them
Tell them you love them
Show them you love them
Don't control them
Don't get jealous
Don't look at them as sex objects
Listen to them
Talk to them

Don't control them
Don't get jealous
Don't look at them as sex objects
Listen to them

About this poem:
Watched a documentary Domestic Violence. One of the more memorable quotes came from a little girl who said, "If my dad dies, I wouldn't cry." The theme seemed to be that there are a lot of guys out there that don't love themselves, because if they did there wouldn't be all this horrible crap done to women.
Anger
Be ye angry and sin not.
A Bible verse we have forgot.
Does your anger rule your life?
Do you always live with strife?
Many love their confrontations,
Seeking out new aggravations.
Being negative gives them joy.
For them anger is their toy.
They seem to hate their own existence.
In being arrogant they use persistence.
Aggression is a tool they like.
I wish their brain would go on strike.
Often anger can be good.
Just don't be misunderstood.
Many things should cause us anger.
It should not put you in danger.
Our self control we must maintain.
Or else you lose and have no gain.
Anger should be properly directed.
Not causing you to be corrected.
Does hurting others make you glad?
Do you feel joy when someone's sad?
Is there something wrong with you?
Not caring about what you do.
You can't always have your way.
Others would like to enjoy their day.
We all suffer through hard times.
Many are victims of bad crimes.
Don't let anger be your master.
It will lead you to disaster.
You can control it if you try.
It does no good making others cry.
Inside you there is a heart.
A great place for you to start.
You should also have a brain.
Something we all need to train.
You are not the only one.
We all feel pain from someone.
Some of us will do our best,
To make life easier for the rest.

For i am the Shepherd for the people with no leader to grace, this promised land on which i stand chosen by the sealer of fates. No invasion or persuasion by a serpent or snake, the wicked fell the dragons tell is of subduction and hate.
The fruit we labor grows unabled with no roots to be stable, the seeds we plant we must prevent poisons from reaching the cradle. forced into life searching for light struggles to fight, these cold nights can be fatal. This rose is breed sapience fed so his thorns doesn't harm his creator.
