1. Are You A Leader Or A Follower ?
Answer _______________________ .
Most people say
They're a leader not a follower
But for me that's not the truth
I am a follower
I follow JESUS
And forever that's what I'll do
JESUS said
If I chase him
Deny myself
Take up...

The Song That you can Never SingThere are songs that you will never sing
There are lips that will never speak
There are voices that you will never hear
And there are some hearts that you cannot move
For the world don’t know the rhythm
Stay on the path that you are on and destiny
Will compose a new song
The rhythm is bellowing in my ear
But...

Silent One in the SkiesThe morning is walking in its own pride
And courage is leaning by my side
The sun is rising up from the east
and fire is burning in the belly of the beast
Morning is shining all over the place
And the evening sun is melting their faces
Strange things are happening in town
And the multitude is moving around
With bags...

Evil Dress in SuitsThe morning filled with beauty and luster creeps slowly under the mangrove tree and anchored along the tropical coast where the skies, sea and my lover frequently meet. Something unusual was going on there that disperse tension in the atmosphere and the shrubs planted along the shores breeds a kind of bird that make their...

Red States ONLY
Written By: D. Collins 6/14/25
In red states only does deportation get a pass.
In those states only did Trump reach out and ask.
It should be very clear his constituents made a point.
They're "carved-out" of policy where other people aren't.
Once all "illegal aliens" are shipped off to somewhere else.
What makes people of color think that they...

Sometimes The Strongest Leader Born In Time Of DifficultySometimes, it is in the most difficult times
That the strongest leaders are born.
Not by chance. But crisis,
Vision, and transformation.
Look at the life Moses in Egypt,
He was born out of circumstances.
Out from the Jews united aggrieved prayers
In Egypt Pharaoh's wanton slavery of the Jews.
Look at the life in a beehive without a Queen.
The ordinary workers...

The Voice in YouListen to the voice in you
And it will tell you what to do
Shake the burden off your head
And meditate upon your bed
Listen carefully to the voice inside you
And it will guide you, it is the voice
That speaks the truth, it is the voice
That will redeem you from your
Battered youth, head strong
Weak heart, head strong and
Broken...

Humor In LifeIt's not of anger's taken, love rules position
Heart we find enjoyment of laughter and smiles
But there's a bitter unforeseen circumstances
Of situation known to happen out blue
We do not find humor in life's beating
It could be worse, every occurrence is solution
Put smile on, it's one them things happen
No humor...

OblivionPoem ‘Oblivion’
Drastic times calls forth bold demands,
Not quiet hearts or passive hands.
For change to rise, the roofs and roots must shake,
To build a new, immoral and unethical ways must break.
Sometimes it takes the patience to fall,
To raise up justice, loud and tall.
Opposition paves the path, it’s true,
For something better, bold, and new.
Wrongdoing for too long...
