up to the light and fighting strong  
to hold my head up, high
because i (I) am with others who can hold 
there values to the light

I am aware of the dangers of being judgmental 
When it comes to the so-called celebrity “faith leaders”

If you could read my emotions
You’d probably lose focus
Be honored by my closeness
Honored that I wrote this
If you could hear my whispers
And see my gestures 
You’d see how my words could affect her’s
If you could read my offense
You’d see I have no defense
And you have...

I was cycling by a mountain stream
when a big Harley rider did scream,
he was mad that I biked
in the lane that he liked...
It says Bike Lane! Your a** I should ream!!

A core of nothing essential,
spinning around a void of irrelevance
Molten thoughts of lava movements ...
civilization crumbling, sand castles dissolving
Vesuvius pleasure nodes vibrating 
to the sound of igneous deconstruction
The societal matrix bond unraveling ...
all the colorful banner ants on the genome farm
keep gathering more excess technology...

Two lives brought together by fate
And, in the creation of...

I'm spirit 
Be not afraid of it
I'm clear 
legit

I'm lyric
Empiric
Satiric
I visit

the other
I'm water
You're hot
I'm hotter

I'm son
You're daughter 
My spirit is tall
My flesh is shorter

I'm wind
Free
Not pinned 
Neither thick nor thin

I'm skinned 
I blow as I wish
No one knows where 
I'm coming from

And where I'm going...

A decent home is a fundamental birth right, fought for by our ancestors
So is clean water and a good education to boot
Who said it ok to profit from these rights?
Who said it ok to make loads of loot?
Nasty times are making people homeless
Making them demoralised...

Thoughts are wild,
They know no bounds.
Some say they have effects none,
Some say they are insane .

According to me,
Thoughts give wings,
Inspire your dying dreams.
These are the  foundation stones.

You can never succeed, 
Until you aim to dream big.
Thoughts are just the first step,
That leads to a...

Freedom of speech is not what we want to hear
Freedom of speech is harsh criticism we bear
Let the critics speak without fear
Freedom of speech is the fundamental principle of expression
Let's not oppress speakers by giving them concession.
Note. Abusive language is inappropriate....
