The E R I C

"The E.R.I.C." by: Eric L. Boddie To each of you who feels you have failed to evolve Because you are constantly running into various barriers Sit back, relax, and let me tell you the story Of the eight realistically inspiring characters The first was a son to God and his mother As Seen Through The Eyes Of The Word and not any other Because he Learned That Love Is Stronger than what words can even utter Because Love Is So Much Of An Action, there is no distance it can not cover The second was a brother to his siblings and all humanity Blessed With Many Gifts, but never known for vanity Because he felt any fear outside of God only led to insanity So every situation that arose, he handled so candidly The third was a man, standing both, strong and proud Humble to all men but Only To God had he bowed Always soft spoken but forever searching for that loud Forever content with self-reliance, no dependence on the crowd The fourth was a friend, extended with helping hand Forever faithful and true, never using that betraying brand Knowing that friendships must be grown, they can't be bought in the can Because instead of desiring to down-grade, he wanted to understand The fifth was the freak, known to all and one The inspiration of desire, the innovator of monogamous fun One Eve at a time, that's how he got it done Because the motto was for her to only leak at the grasp of his gun The sixth was a nerd, but cool in all other ways Serving as a lifetime member in how her hip sways But something about knowledge always left him amazed And for that reason, attention is what he always pays The seventh was a soldier, always Fighting For Christ Which did he Love more, God or his Life Because the things that he did show that he paid his price In Respect For The One Who Made The Greatest Sacrifice And the eighth was the one who would let neither give up his fight Telling each he is not wrong until they PROVE they're right Because To Live Under The Star That Brings Bright Morning Light Can only bring Hope, and there is no better sight Each was greatly strong, each was greatly misunderstood Rarely could either be challenged, but far too often, each was abused In ways too great for a simply common mind to ponder Causing the E.R.I.C. more Prayers, A Power that can never be overused
