when speaking the truths
is called " bad attitudes , "
arrogances
or egotisms,
remember that some victim players
are on different stages.
As I rise up through the rubble
Constantly trying to escape from this world’s trouble
Closed mouths becomes idle for a second
Your voice and words is your weapon
What you believe in you must be willing to fight
Trust in the fight for peace, and victory will surely be in sight
My words have never been careless
The truth has always pushed the boundaries
The strongest weapon, we have is hope
With God’s words let’s inspire the poor by helping them to cope
Powerless, hands bound by the ropes of promises
Raise your hands and pump your fists
My roar is louder than the thunder of a storm
Things seem like everything is out of the norm
Our actions do not come without consequences
To believe that is mankind’s ultimate arrogances
My ambition is has lead me to learning and growing
How to keep the faith going and flowing
To have faith you must look beyond what your eye can see
If you believe in a world of love, hope will be for you and me
“Hold fast to dreams, For if dreams die Life is a broken-winged bird, That cannot fly.”
? Langston Hughes
"Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life." Proverbs 13:12 (NLT)
“Dam Change”
Dam change.
Mother and father love their plain ponytails and Lionel trains.
Then infancy crawls to scrap knees, tea parties. And headphone blast fast tones accompanied, by the arrogances of “me”.
Old Lionel trains sleep and ponytails worn plain train to feed or seek maternity.
Then mother and father love their plain ponytails and Lionel trains.
How I hate change.
