James Edward Lee Sr. Poet Free verse

You Filled Me Up

Politics, aerobics, arithmetic
All of this commuted reconvicts
Genocide, homicides, what's in if for all you guys
run, run, run,
hide, hide, hide alibi
Just confined, must be nine it's mine
Denomination must be graven 
Religious programing 
Regional back firing
all of this I desire

Chorus: Oh, I just wanna go ever so high, ever so higher
Lord you fill me up
I am all caught up all caught up and you fill me]
Cause you fill me up
Lord you fill me up
I am all caught up all caught up and you fill me]
Cause you fill me up
Lord you fill me up
Lord, I've had it up to here
That is why, I'm glad you've filled (me)

With you love, with your words from heaven above;
You fill me up, you've bless me with your love you filled me up
Oh, I just wanna go ever so high, ever so higher
Lord you fill me up
I am all caught up all caught up and you fill me
Cause you fill me up
Lord you fill me up

Unemployment, no unions
mothers fighting daughters over delusions
Father no longer here
Son no longer fears, where the rest is whose passes the test
High inflation, rhythms stations
Standing on the streets at night so out of sight
Grown up too soon, can't relied on anyone anything, anymore dreams

Chorus: Oh, I just wanna go ever so high, ever so higher
Lord you fill me up
I am all caught up all caught up and you fill me]
Cause you fill me up
Lord you fill me up
I am all caught up all caught up and you fill me]
Cause you fill me up
Lord you fill me up

Lord, I've had it up to here
That is why, I'm glad you've filled (me)
I am running out of steam think I've grown up too soon
All of this I desire comfort ride can you give me time
Lord, I've had it up to here is there any room
I still have an empty cup
Please Lord continue to bless me with your love as you fill me up
