Maternal never came natural to you But laugh we did, crazy things you would do, You caused so much angst, guilt and tension, But my mother you were, with your fair complexion, Years went by and we muddled along more My tears mostly dry, almost closed the door Beautiful you were I see this all now, Wish you could see...

that day in December I remember I sucked on my soaked tucked-in socks When I saw you with a neat pack of straw on your back. I beckoned to you— you came but my words you reckoned with— in shame ten years on, our paths ...

In rooms where futures are decided, old men argued about small voices, children who had been silenced for a thousand years. "Should we teach them in English, the language of their masters? Or let them speak in their grandmother's tongue?" One truth burned bright: every word they chose would echo in ten million hearts. They decided: Let the Kannada child dream in Kannada first, let the Tamil child sing Tamil...

To be a good father You already have to be a good man But apparently he couldn't be either guess it was just easier For him to be just like his father Him being a black father Made it harder The stereotypes That followed him around That policed He probably internally agreed He felt it must've...

I can hear your heartbeat inside me Even though you're gone. I prayed for you my whole life. You finally came, So full of love and light. We were always together. I thought we always would be. I took care of you, and you I'm watched out for me. Then one day,...

This is a season for peace but not where the war rages, not as our country men die, not as the grill burns human flesh and the sky rains ash. My dear friends, do not tire out as the bombs drop, As the gangs plunder, our babies starve, and friends go missing. As the water dries out, as the chasm widens, when moon shows no light and...

Children never fake it! True love comes from them I've never seen A child fake a smile Whenever they laugh It comes from their heart Portraying their beautiful soul Without pains or hidden intentions. Children never fake it!! With innocent They emerge earth Without sin Imitating whatever They see Watching whatever we do Doing more of what we do than what we teach. Children never fake...

Know yourself If not People gonna Write your story Forgetting your history But just for their glory. They make you feel Like you're nothing Just to make you lazy Feeling above you Then act crazy Making you the villain Just put you on surveillance. Steadily watching Your moves and motives So they can put you On slow motion Causing confusion Leaving you...

Do you ever Do to yourself What you've done to others So you know the pains That comes with it It's so crazy Very lazy acting without thinking. I just hope You get What you Wish on another Not preaching Ain't a pastor But a God son God save us From what we don't know Bless us With what we've never own....

The things she left behind Her tombstone stood amongst others who shared the same fate The air in the cemetery Heavy With the the weight of the souls it carries Her epigraph read: Beloved mother, wife, daughter, sister and friend Her family there to pay their respects Tomorrow they will lead a protest Her son left behind...

Precious gifts, society's treasures, Gifted from above, joy's warm glow. Aged hearts find solace, homes filled with glee, Yet harm them, and harm yourself, a truth to see. Forgiving and gentle, they shine radiant, In a twinkling, conflicts fade in a moment. Jesus' wisdom resounds: learn from their paths, Tend them with care, and blessings will bloom. Guardians of innocence, counselors of heart, Parents,...

When trust is broken Feelings start fading In love you become lazy or crazy Can't confide in each other A place of peace, calm or serenity Now a battlefield, steadily pouring out aggression on each other. Two hearts that caress and defend each other Start bruising or humiliating each other As they wrestle The children watch, then start screaming Don't...

Our love isn't a mime, nor a rhyming song, But one we sing that stings with grief and shame. A robe we wear with sorrow all night long, Our hearts no longer with passion's flame. The ripened time prepares to draw us wide, Our bond not stronger than a weathered stone. We stumble, yet let silence be our guide— Love suffers round...

God is always speaking, through people, things and all the time. He speaks through the weather, disasters and yes, even crime. Telling us to turn around, you're going the wrong way. Things are happening to you, because you're refusing to obey. There are messages from Him, all around we can see. Some have been passed down, through our history. Deep down...

There is one thing that I will always miss. It is the first time that I received a heavenly kiss. I was so down and out, I just wanted to go. But God determines when, and his reply was No! "I know the plan that I have for you. Just trust in Me and I'll see you through!" A weighty presence...
