Rise up and communicate
rise up to love not hate
you have the power deep inside
to shine your light far and wide
Come together one and all
share the love, hear the call
the world around needs to heal
rise on up, help others deal
Rise up and recalibrate
rise on up, its not too late
you have the power deep inside
to share your love far and wide
Be the light you wish to see
clear the path for destiny
motivate don't hesitate
tell the past to close the gate
Rock bottom was hard, a real raw deal
but rise on up and take the wheel
strength in numbers helps you heal
so rise on up till love you feel
Yeh rise up and embrace the new
yeh rise up, the world needs you
plant those dreams in a row
be inspired and watch them grow
Rise Rise Rise and mesmerize
Rise Rise Rise lets energize
Rise rise rise
the world needs some healing light
yeh rise on up you'll be alright
Rise Rise Rise.
Sleep onto the vision square;
Covered naked raw in air;
Substance matter, does it matter
And is the aire really here;
Real raw truth...

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr ©2024
Real feelings.
Those niceties! Those smiles! Fake words to cover the long, lonely journey of miles!
Glass eyes - trying to be warmer but trying in vein!
Flow through, dinner and drinks.
Polite sounds hiding real feelings and real - still real raw pain.
Talk, talk, talk - with no feelings, pardons or sins.
Soft sounds - not prepared to breach the dam wall and let the real talk begin!
Tension, slowly building as the barriers begin to weaken and fall!
A hug signifies the evenings end. Warm clothes cover cold bodies trying to pretend that there is no malice or ill feeling here at all.
Drive home. Analyse the evening from the start to the end!
Hidden meanings, snubs, sharp stares and smiles through fury at full bend.
Misinterpretation - why did he have to say that?
Slow ride - why does it take so long to get back?
Reflection - stand in quiet and look deep in your eyes. Another wall - to protect the truth with your lies.
As I stare at this blank canvas
I wonder what to create
Should I write what I feel
I ponder if anyone can relate
Art in the form of words
There is no canvas that goes unheard
As I reach deep inside my mind
Gauging what's my biggest crime
I would have to say it's art
Now follow closely because this will get dark
Don't get lost in the shadow of my arch
There is no sun where the sun don't shine
I hope you listening close because that was a punch line
Art comes in many forms
I try to create outside of the norm
I was pronounced different from the day I was born
Now don't get torn
This is not sympathetic art
This is real raw lay out your heart
I make a puzzle out of my words
I like using synonyms antonyms and verbs
Not a shattered illusion
But a microbial infusion
Tell me can you follow
A canvas so hollow
Bruised at its outer edge
Heart still beating
But inside it's dead
Yet you can't help but stare
Would you buy it?
I bet you won't .. I dare
When things don't go our way
God we think is to blame
but really we should wait a moment
before getting into the blame game
We need to see it eternally
taking advice from God's law
for our Lord has expert advice
as our minds are real raw
God's love is so deep
wanting to show us His correct way
this is always for our good
that's why we should daily pray
So we need to see our situation
with the eyes of divinity
remembering God's always in control
as He looks down from eternity
God always wants the best
for His chosen children here
His love never gets mad
as He closely looks over us at the rear

waiting while worrying - weird
so sick,seeking,seizing
nothingness - no knocks
birth bleeds, life's lost ~
=================================
Queen's countless quoted queries
Revealed...remains real raw
Waiting while worrying...weird
So sick...seeking...seizing...
lets get down and dirty
to the knitty gritty
lets face reality
who said its gon be purrty
distance is between us
tension causes us to fuss
emotions covered in dust
still searching for the love
my eyes are sick of tears
heart is still in fear
.... day four and im speechles
cant even imagine writing this
emotions caught up in a whirlwind
cant tell my out from in
whose to say the truth
whose to say a lie
whose to make a suggestion
and whose the one to decide
still stuck in a zone
of not quite understanding
music is my lover for now
comin quite handy
things are zoomin by
everything that deals with life
....speechless
wait i say speechless yet im full of words
maybe cuz im full of hurt
still in disbelief
what is to become of me...
