a true warrior is one who fights for a cause
he never abandons the battlefield

this one hides & denies, lies

ruling with his ancient alibies
how can you protect us

inner cries
lingered,
fingers trace
imprints,
alibies,
I let go
the weight of worries,
go where music takes my
songs…
...and v e r s e d melodies
Have you ever?
Danced with the devil;
All the while, he’s stepping on your feet
Causing you tremendous defeat
Slapping you in the face, while holding your teeth
Have you kissed Ole Lucifer?
Your father of lies
Who’s filling your spirit with alibies?
Now emotional, riddle in pangs and pains
He insist you cry out his NAME
But you let go, say SATAN DON”T WANNA DANCE NO MO
I got a new partner
Git thee behind me you demon, foe
I dance now with Angels in heaven and earth
Now I don’t want no longer your curse
And for what it’s worth
MY GOD is real and He and His Son has set me free;
So barefoot I dance aloft
In and out with His heart
And with my mouth
I shall shout Halleluiah
Glory
As I’m dancing wit my Father God now only
Holy

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2021©
Heart is such an adamant thing
keeps busy, of her thinking.
Though every image drifted afar ;
every grain, every drop with her.
I know all have been said and done,
love wilted under the careless sun
yet heart is such an adamant thing
it grows such fancy wings.
Alibies of a child innocent
asking for that familiar scent.
Knows no barriers, no poison
cravings for that elusive union.
Heart is such an adamant thing
keeps busy, of her thinking.

They tell you the way to think
They tell you, you must conform
How many secrets do they keep
How many different suits have they worn
They tell you their share of lies
Pass it off as the whole truth
Hope that you'll keep closed your eyes
While they do the things they do
Don't bother messing with the facts
Facts only get in the way
There's not a fool they haven't met
Unconcerned with what you have to say
Shut your mouth and pay your dues
That is what they think of you
Every thing will work out fine
As long as you don't have a clue
With fingers crossed behind their backs
With lists made up of alibies
As they tell you where you should be at
Pointing to the dead end signs
Speak your true, always
Don't always listen to yourself
Speak your true, God says
There's no judgement in this
Ravish the heathen in you
Spit out those lies
Cry aloud the faith in you
Be true, immortalize
Climb those mountains of regrets
And don't fear nor do you fret
All manner of right shall come out your breathe
Speak the truth and lie not
It's easy not too
Glorious wonders of life and lights
Shall keep you forever in God's presents
Speak your true, always
Even in yourself you think their... lies
For the evil dragon Old Satan is the father of lies
So no alibies, no tear stained eyes
I gonna pray to do
Nothing but speaking the true
Cause God is love....

SPONSORED BY: MADISON DEMETROS
It was a short burst fire
You were my hearts desire
I cared for you
I was there for you
I found it was my duty
I call you my beauty
Ah!! how I love you
Ah!! how I shall show you
My darling dear
My monsieur
I long for you
I would even consider doing wrong for you
But my passions lies
I haven't any more alibies
Ah!! how I love you
Ah!! how I shall show you
I'll always be your guy
Until the day I die
And even afterwards
I'm your just deserves
You're my darling bird
Perched above the horizon
Ah!! how I love you
Ah!! how I shall show you
My forever woman of my dreams
My always and everything
my hearts desire

Ah!! how I love you
Ah!! how I shall show you
My darling dear
My monsieur

Restless night under summer skies
Butterflies and time that dies
I can’t exactly vocalize
Or apologize for all the guys
If you were wise you could surmise
The faults in my alibies
Then agonize what that must imply
And recognize how I exercise
Now rise, look into my eyes
Watch the sunrise
Ignore my cries
I’m not just someone’s prize
Don’t jeopardize to finalize
Though I let you fantasize
Romanticized and polarized
I can only compartmentalize
You monopolize but can’t characterize
Glamorize but don’t analyze
That I can’t moralize this disguise
I’d advise for your despise
Ones Upon All Numbers
There are numbers out there counted
Six of them speak clear arithmetic
The others use fingers to communicate
Use fractions to escape their masters
Education is required to survive today
And six reasons why that is
Five of them are excuses
Some whole numbers have alibies
Figures are another story though
Sure, numbers will never lie
The truth is; ones grow
There are four things
I just don’t understand
Science, algebra and calculus
Why digits even exist
Three is best
Time for home
No more counting
Two truths
Logic, Math
Ones
Created on 10/14/14 for The “I Do Not Know”-Poetry Form Contest
quietly......i'll disagree,
when everything points to dishonesty,
feeding lines, pouring out lies,
to construct its own personal alibies,
gathering masses to fight on behalf,
of the ego, embarrassed by his own immature grasp,
squashing love like a bug under his shoe,
instead of humbling himself to face love's truth,
to love deeper, letting go of the control in his hands,
for in balance, these extremes can ruin a man,
the willing love that stands at the door,
that gets backlashed, pushed out, and knocked on the floor,
and still gets back up to show love more,
but then again and again gets knocked out on the floor,
how much of a beating must one take?,
until the excruciating pain of trying to love makes them walk away,
do you think my God wants me to stay?,
while his child gets mocked for her compassion everyday,
i think not.....in your blank attempt to prove me unfaithful,
by means of your own ego, you tried turning the tables,
After all the fussing, fighting and talking
Up all night, with these floors I've been walking
You come in late once again last night
It looks like you had a real good time
Guess I'm 'bout to ruin a real good day
Party's over I've got somethin' to say
Yeah, I'm gone for good now get outta my way
There ain't nothin' you can do to make me stay
Don't try to stop me now I gotta go
But just in case you didn't know
How can you expect me to love you
When, darlin', you know I can't trust you
Baby, love can't live on alibies
Didn't your mama teach you not to lie
Guess I ruined a real good day
Party's over I got somethin' to say
Yeah, I'm gone for good now get outta my way
There ain't nothin' you can do to make me stay
Don't try to stop me now I gotta go
But just in case you raelly didn'tknow
I know all about your pretty little friends
And I'm sick to death of lies that never end
I guess I ruined a real good day
Party's over now I got somethin' to say
Yeah, I'm gone for good this time get outta my way
And there ain't a thang you can do to make me stay
Baby, someday when you're sober
Maybe you'll regret it but for now the party's over
Earth of gray,
Something dreadful on the horizon looms.
There is no black and no white today,
Laws exist but justice is doomed.
Morality is labeled religion,
And must be separated from state,
Whose own religion is political correctness
And determining God's fate.
Oh heaven rain down on us,
We are tasting your tears.
Yes we've become that bad,
Confirming your fears,
That what has been done ,
is being done again,
Those lessons taught,
coming to naught.
Judges and laws make it legal,
to be rid of your innocent babes,
Under a symbol of the eagle,
God's loving justice betrayed.
Racheal you cry the tears,
that now only heaven supplies,
because ours have dried,
In the dust of our alibies.
Excuses and lies are linked,
As you and I know well,
The truth is all but extinct.
Truth is foreign to hell.
Oh heaven, look down on this world of gray.
Something dreadful is watching and looms.
Is there nothing left but to watch and pray,
While Rachael wails by the dumpster tombs?
*This is a dedication to lover that i lost to the pathetic and horrible teenage heart.
I still love you Samantha, no matter what happens in bewteen us, always and forever.
So many secrets
And, honestly i dont just
Merely want to hear
Another lie if any were told...
Never the less, can i even
Trust a word that comes out of
Her mouth? or are they
Alibies? maybe i'll die right now
Cause i can't stand not knowing
Another hug and fake smile
Really darling, has it come to this?
Or is this just a dream that will not
Let me wake up? please release me me. this is
-A nightmare! im screaming for an answer
Never to be given. a hint that
No lies were told in this tradgic affair.
Where did the honesty go? doubt
Is clouding my thoughts and
Nevermore shall i cry for you
Let me jump out of my window cause
Alibies are all i ever here from you
Now do you understand how much i hate this?
Dying on the inside for you.
-continued from "Sabbath Morning Rap".
..and so brethren,
We're lost in the lust of loving lies
Conceived and retrieved as alibies.
to woo what we would instead of should,
To deify deeds ordained to deny
that Jesus Christ was crucified,
For you and me and he and she,
He lived and loved and agonized,
to dis the devil and tear his ties
to the role of the soul in his hellish hole.
Cause the devil is real and that's the deal
So if hate is your food and your crude and lewd,
you're flirtin' with hurtin', you're comin' unglued.
The devil is there so ya better beware
You're struttin his stuff and doin' your share.
Take a look around before ya drown
in the fire of his fate and the heat of his hate.
But Christ is saying :
My Peace I leave, My Peace I give
to those that ask Me to help them live.
And if you don't believe I can show you the way'
open your heart so you can pray.
Ill give you a sign for you to define.
What do you say gotta do it today.
Now it's up to you, whatever you do.
Don't wait too long cause the chance'll be gone.
Amen, I say, Throw your pride away,
I want you Here ...with ME ...to Stay.
Oh sky look down on this earth of gray,
Something dreadful on the horizon looms.
There is no black and no white today,
Laws exist but justice is doomed.
Morality is labeled religion,
And must be separated from state,
Whose own religion is political correctness
And determining God's fate.
Oh heaven rain down on us,
Ae are tasting your tears.
Yes we've become that bad,
Confirming your fears,
That what has been done ,
Is being done again,
Those lessons taught,
Coming to naught.
Judges and laws make it legal,
To be rid of your innocent babes,
Under a symbol of the eagle,
God's loving justice betrayed.
Racheal you cry the tears,
That now only heaven supplies,
Because ours have dried,
In the dust of our alibies.
Excuses and lies are linked,
As you and I know well,
The truth is all but extinct.
Truth is foreign to hell.
Oh heaven, look down on this world of gray.
Something dreadful is watching and looms.
Is there nothing left but to watch and pray,
While Rachael wails by the dumpster tombs?
