Word in words logically scraping speech
Word of words unlock hardened heart as priest preach
Word by word's exposition gain ground as sounds beseech
Word for word's daring compliment duly change to teach
Divided in divisions attentively awaiting wide open gate
Divide to divide confusion aiming to get hearts bait
Divide by dividing queries lured into an unending debate
Divide for divisions to be silent and no longer dictate
Born to burn boredom caressing darkness
Born to burn darkness' borne without prior awareness
Born of birth beyond scientific's cleverness
Born new birth- a magic yet amazing craziness
Light in fireworks beeping loosely creativity
Light lighting calm minds out of captivity
Light enlighten strangers' feet cum selectivity
Light lightening end afar when gold kisses negativity
Cool in cooler calming hotness foaming to burn tongues
Cool by cooler good at its usage correcting wrongs
Cool to cooling feet climbing life's ladder on open rungs
Cool for cool voices singing solemnly new hope songs
Freeze in frozen minds embracing caution to trap temptations
Freeze by free birds not returning for mothers' invitations
Freeze up freeman growing wings beyond limitations
Freeze out free Israelites wandering around manipulations
Hear tell ears of peace to pieces arrogance and ego
Hear from air blowing hot and cold to choose where to go
Hear about seer ranting of rest to all workers by will sow
Hear of spear piercing others cum eon's toast fondling woe
Tear apart tears inner eyes soaked in burning delight
Tear pairing code leading grace prospects into fright
Tear cheers growing solid cheeks hurting plight
Tear wears inviting comfort to blind eyes seeing flight
Full of fools open to wide gate of sulphur's flame burning spring
Full of rules that guides legs against commands of the mighty King
Full of truth to energize night of unknown songs morning sing
Full of tools rectifying faulty connections disobedience bring
Sent to sentence saint into everlasting cell never dreamed
Sent to sentence joy overflow through grace highly esteemed
Sent to sense need for change to shame end as deemed
Sent to see how blissful saints live having been redeemed

Life is not just about being world renowned
Or wearing a crown
Currently lost instead of found
In your eyes, I can see the pain, right now
Get rid of that frown
Gain ground
Turn your life around
Hold it down
Don't be a clown
Unless you want to drown
Not too late to rebound
Make your mom proud
She deserves to be feeling up in the clouds
If only more people went to the pound for a hound
To put it bluntly
I'd be lucky
To find someone that loves me
In a world that can be so cold and ugly
Thinking somebody would care
Looking around everywhere
And never seeing anyone there
Torment and despair
You got to be aware that life will never be fair
It's something that needs to be put into the air
Too bad if it's more than you can bear
Don't be scared
Get prepared
To reach beyond the top of the stairs
So start earning your share
Since everything experiences eventual wear
Got yet another itch
Which is getting rich
It's time to take some risks
Use your gifts
Keep your wits
About you, and watch your six
Because life is full of tricks
And can be hit and miss
Don't call it quits
Persist and have your spirit uplift
If you really want to get your fix
Watch out because you might get more than you wished
Before life starts to fade
And ending up in a grave
Be brave
Turn the page
Make a change
Regardless of it feeling strange
Soon enough paths are paved
If you gave your all and never caved

Why can’t we be judged by the content of our character?
Are we now racist, because of white privilege and black lives matter?
This is our new wall, racism is still dividing,
these two profound statements are creating bitter chatter.
Dr. King lost his life because of his dream in 63,
segregation is what this great man envisioned would one day leave.
The architects of our Republic intended all men to be free,
our declaration of independence is what we now need to believe.
As a people we need to remember, all of our positive achievements,
we need to move forward and continue to gain ground.
We need to focus on life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
We are all created equal, this evident truth has got to be found.
We all need to sit down at the table of brotherhood.
Everything we do right now, needs to be done together.
We need to erase all of our anger and live here as one people
if we join our hearts, there is no storm we can’t weather.

PRAY THAT SOON WILL COME BETTER DAYS
Soldiers on patrol-
drones on radio control…
They gain ground…as walls come crumbling down
Fire streaks through the night-
embers burn in daylight…
They all lose their minds… watching innocents die
Chorus
Well I just don’t understand,
what they’re fighting for
After counting the lost lives,
have they really WON the war?
After all’s been said and done,
and the sand’s blown away
(You’ve got to) pray ...
there will soon come better days
See the mothers weep-
their dead strewn on the street
They mourn so forlorn, the day they were born
The tears not only flow-
but, they just grow and grow
Where hope’s an absurd word that is rarely heard
Chorus
Well I just don’t understand,
what they’re fighting for!
After counting the lost lives,
have they really WON the war?
After all’s been said and done…
and the sand’s blown away…
(You’ve got to) pray ...
there will soon come better days
Running through their veins,
ecstasy and cocaine,
Thugs are so smug, selling them their drugs
The mirror speaks so clear-
the enemy’s still here
Survivals chance is slim, as he looks back at him
Chorus
Well I just don’t understand,
what they’re fighting for!
After counting the lost lives,
have they really WON the war?
After all’s been said and done…
and the sand’s blown away…
(You’ve got to) pray...
there will soon come better days
(You’ve got to) pray...
there will soon come better days

MIGHT HE BE SEEN AS I SEE HIM
ADORED AND SPOKEN FOR
LOVED AND ADMIRED
PREHAPS THE NIGHTS WILL THEN BE FILLED
WITH EXPRESSION FOR THOSE WHO
WISH FOR SOMETHING THAT SOMEONE TOLD THEM THEY COULDN'T HAVE
LESS THAN ARROGANT
JUST A NIJ PASS GREATEST
THAT CLOSE TO BEING THE BEST PREHAPS THE VERY BEST
IN A DEFENDABLE WAY
IF HIS EFFORDS WERE TO GAIN GROUND
AND HIS ABILITY COULD TAKE HIM BEYOND WHAT OTHERS SEE HIM AS HE'D
PROPER IN THE LAND OF THE FAMOUS
AND WOULD BE CHAMPION FOR THOSE WHO ARE LIKE AND ARE LIKENED TO HIM
SOME MIGHT BOO
SOME MIGHT CURSE HIM
BUT IN TIME THEY MIGHT EVEN RESPECT HIM FOR HIS EFFORDS
AND HIS ABILITIES
WORDS WHISPERED TAMONG THE FEMALES
THOSE WHO ADORE HIM MIGHT WISH TO BE WITH HIM
THJAT THEY TO MIGHT PROSPER IN THE LAND OF HIS MAKING
ONE ASKED, THEN HE THAT HATES ME SHALL REPRESENT ME AS CHAMPION OF THE CAUSE THAT I LIVE FOR
AND THAT I MIGHT STAND AGAINST HIM HE SHOULD MAKE THOSE WHO ONCE LOVE ME HATE ME
WHO ARE THE PREPARERS OF HIS WORDS
THAT HE HOWLS LIKE GRAZING CATTLE WHO WISH FOR WOLVES
THAT THEY MIGHT BE EATIN BECAUSE THEY ARE UNPROTECTED
THEN THE FIRST MAN RESPOKE, BEYOND THE MYSTERIES OF EXISTANCE
ARE THE SCEINCES OF PEOPLE
THOSE WHO WISH MEN TO COMPETE FOR THE RECOGNITION OF BEING BEST
STAND WITH THE CHAMPION THAT HE MIGHT FALL
STAND WITH THE CHALLENGER THAT HE MIGHT BECOME CHAMPION
OR STAND WITH THE BEST THAT HE MIGHT WIN
there is an end
repetitive engaged
newer orders
where we come from
is where nothing returns
the service of birth
to not come home
on foreign soil
only to war
only for war was i thought of
this one will not win
this strategy of me
a world
they enjoy and toy with me you will
toil till death does its part with you
you tend to my munitions
i confer and advance
you engaged me
and again i gain ground
no fence?
know fence
no place
mine
handless land, crawling
time honored minute, non traditional
warfares itself upon the service
none shall attend
being built in a bottle
speak
"Every struggle in my life has been a lesson and made me stronger."
Quote by _Constance La France
Gift people their roses
Gift people their roses while still around,
unspoken words continue to benight,
do not wait until they are graveyard bound.
Let your heart and lips master that sweet sound,
tell them you love them from your being’s height,
gift people their roses while still around.
Breathe in the air where butterflies fly round,
show gratitude to folks by matchless might,
do not wait until they are graveyard bound.
Weed nettles creeping on a fertile mound,
when trees have leaves and berries still bedight,
gift people their roses while still around.
Allow those kinds of beliefs to gain ground,
tell them they inspire you and feel all right,
do not wait until they are graveyard bound.
A life, with lilies and marigolds crowned,
on worth and value will shine a bright light,
gift people their roses while still around,
do not wait until they are graveyard bound.

Inspiration with a theme of - Introspection
If soldiers aren't disheartened by fright
and keep vigilant eyes on their target,
they surely will claim an extraordinary victory;
what does it take to win a battle, if not audacity?
To combat evil is to face the enemy boldly and fiercely,
humiliating him with awesome might, aiming high;
a defeat teaches the adversary to give up something...
would be dedicated and loyal soldiers turn their back on their country,
regardless of how undefeatable and cruel the adversary seems in reality?
Hasn't any wounded soldier invoked an impossible yearning?
Keep an eye on that dawning flag, hold its unbroken pole...
it must never fall on that barren ground stained by blood-red color,
lest a skirmish takes down the commander officer unable to yield;
fight harder, advance, and gain ground make a horrifying noise,
scare them away: this tactic has worked on a Roman battlefield:
amid explosions, screams, and bloody corpses, there's no choice!
If soldiers aren't disheartened by fright, they'll face death fearlessly;
their oath can't be broken by fear, treachery, demise, or defiance;
even today the youngest ones show their patriotism and loyalty
to lead their country to victory with the willingness of sacrifice!
