Dream catcher made of turtle shell
Elemental magic, soul bringer, dream walker
Enlightens papoose, savoring his knowing smile.
Grandfather Shaman feeds the fire
Whose pleasure to warm is well-known in teepees.
Tribal spirit faeries hide in furs
Braves will return tomorrow
Hopefully from a good hunt.
Innocent ones sleep soundly,
Unworried, on small pox blankets.
Rising sun say something
Nothing else just inspire my dream
I am not moving in fiction
You and me and our hard story
Beauty of dream need a shape
I could not view future
I couldn’t do forecast about upcoming days
But need of life now realize
Dream of love need a shape
I have seen her in the dream
But my imagination make her alive
She is living legend of old time
I will bring her in this age
I am still confident
To give life to beauty of past
By my moral by my soul
Real Ganga show innocently flow
As a black man dies innocently
His family sits and cries
They know he didn’t do it
But you think he lied
As a black man dies innocently
You sit around and laugh
You sit around and talk on his behalf
Yes you do it in secret but why
Are you just cowards
As a black man dies innocently
You wonder why we retaliate
There is a reason why
We don’t want to sit back
And watch an innocent man die
As a black man dies innocently
You wonder why we cry
A black man, an innocent black man, will die.
As a black man dies innocently
He sits in his trial
He listens to people call him out of his name
Then he starts to feel shame
As a black man dies innocently
Our race is buried in sorrow
As a black man dies innocently
We try to find hope for tomorrow
Innocently guilty
All these people dyin'
All these spirits cryin'
Crying why give up on me
When you gave in to reality
reality…Counseling you should have seeked
Instead you got all these innocent people
On their knees....
cryin' for their own and prayin for you
Watchin' the spirits of their loved ones go…
How could you kill your mother? ...Mr...... I thought she raised me??
The woman who gave life to you
She would have died for you
But instead “you took her life”
And then took your own too.
“WHO... DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?!?”
INDEED, people are sick
But yo not that sick
But why speak a lie into existence?
Why kill the spirits of innocence
givin' hell to heaven..... Mr. Frequent!
You’re a little too late…
Cause they got you in hell
Prayin’ for forgiveness.

Surrounded by your beauty
My soul is found in your love
I am found in you
I have a love that is complete
This reality is real
This is not a day dream
I found you
I found a man that is true
The man that will stand by me for the rest of my life
I shall stand strong
I will be brave and bold
I will believe in what is told
I will carry myself to love him all the days of the world
To the ends of the earth
Where we shall survive on the love and the wings of angels that show us passion is
more than alive.
holding your hand after a 5 hour surgery
you're so beautiful and you look so peaceful
i know you are in pain and can not respond
i wish i could tell you how i feel right now but the
words will not come out
if they would they wouldnt be right
all i can do is cry
my stomach is in knots
but my heart is in pain
nothing like the pain you are in
i can only imagine how you feel
holding your hand closed eyes
trapped in an innocent face
unlike the face ive once seen
although your hope is running low
your heart is flying high
if only i could tell you how i feel
if only you could see how much your family really
cares then maybe you would understand how I feel
and maybe you could tell me what i wish i could say
