When I look into my grandmother's eyes
When I look into my grandmother's eyes I see what she's had to sacrifice When I look into my grandmother's eyes I see a lifetime of pain she's carried When I look into my grandmother's eyes I see the hurt of not being accepted When I look into my grandmother's eyes I see Someone who once despised her beautiful...

A BOY AND A BIG DREAM
He crossed the seas with dreams in his hands a boy from home trying to understand how to grow, how to belong, how to be right when everything feels wrong. On the streets of Germany he welcomed every stare Every words whispered is a scare "Schau dir den ‚Neger‘ an, wie arm und wild er sein kann." In classrooms, he knew his stuff books,...

Feather Swords
What are you afraid of Look in their eyes For now it's time You've been soft for too long Head on her knees Arms wrapped around her legs And just like a prisoner For freedom she begs For a moment they pray The other she turns to prey If she doesn't marry, she's faulty For crimes she never did she's guilty Each day every...

We Are Here
We are here sorrowfully happy We are here crying and smiling We are Rich only on TV We are Rich only on newspapers. Where are they says the leaders Give them the remnants to eat They deserves a natural glass of wine And something to take as protein. We are here living happily happy With our swollen faces smiling Lest we appear wretched on TV Wearing...

Yesterday void of compassion
When yesterdays become devoid of compassion Past once filled with kindness Became stripped of those gentle hues. You look back,see what was care What felt like love now appears tainted by ego The smile you cherished now feels hollow. ...

Premium Member Freedom To Speak
When you're afraid to speak, you sell your rights for nothing You sell your conscience, your soul and country for nothing When you're afraid to express yourself, you don't subsist You're no longer alive, you're dead, and you no longer exist. Writers, poets, professors, professionals, teachers and students Be not afraid to say something, to tell the truth, to tell...

Premium Member Walking Through The Veil of Hate
I walk through life like a shadow unseen, Because they treat me like I’ve never been. No chains can bind me, no laws confine, Yet they whisper doubts as if they’re mine. Why do you fear the faith I hold? Why does my truth leave hearts so cold? Is...

Premium Member Racial Preferential Treatment
God laughs when fools behave like racists All persecuted individuals are His children God laughs when a few are obviously chosen And receive preferential treatment under the basis That the lighter complexion is superior and better. God created one race. The same blood flows like a river In all God’s children veins. This blood is red, not amber God laughs when a...

Premium Member THE WAY THINGS ARE GOING AND SHOULD NOT BE
Things going the way they are going, is really not good; For today, things are not going the way they really should:- Politics is, and will always be, about power and political control; And today’s politicians are musky mongers, both young and old:- Time for us to be about going and getting things as they ought to be; Particularly with...

The Color of Judgment
They say that God is clothed in white, A throne of clouds, a robe of light. The angels, too, in linen gleam, Like snowflakes stepping through a dream. The lamb is white, the dove is pale— All heaven's cast in frost and veil. And yet, beneath that sacred lore, A darker thread runs through the floor. They say the devil wears the night, That...

My Children and Grandchildren Don't Foolishly Follow People, Because They Will Pay
When problems come, we want to blame God first! But the truth of it all is your actions put you under a curse. The Bible says when you obey God, all will go right. And when you do not, you'll struggle most of your life! Cursed are all creatures who choose to disobey. Everything in the bible, written to show...
