Do you remember young love?
It was "Oh What A Night."
We vowed,
"Nothing Gonna Stop Us Now."
The time passed quickly,
as the many days turned into years.
Then there was nothing left to say but,
"If You Leave Don't Look Back,"
says it all.
Take a look around the world
people hurting everywhere you look
I ask you where is the love
Today stop think before you speak
Then love can really leak
out to the person hurting on the street
Friends no longer friends
Why is this , because loves gone away
Once walked hand n hand
Now can't look each other in the eye
Children treated cruelly too
Everyone is seeking to be loved
Will you make a difference my friend
And let your love send
Out to others who seek it so much
We can make a difference today
Stopping hurt, chasing blues away
Reach out and touch somebody's heart today
Drop everything everything
Drop everything everything
Drop everything everything
Stop, don’t do anything
And listen to my heart beat
Listen as our souls meet
Drop everything
Let our love sing
Out of tune but with melody
Out of time for the remedy
So
Drop everything everything
Stop, don’t say anything
But
I love you
Do we all suffer from the same fate
Be we individuals, nations, or life’s mates
Why can’t we hit ‘pause,’ why can’t we stop
Are the laws of physics so completely true
That we can’t bring us to say ‘I love you’
The day was humid and hot
Behind the bush hides a cop
I ignored the red light
Until cop was in sight
Then I did a rolling stop
Don't stop walking because the path is hard.
Rely on your faith; it will take you far.
Take the high road and don't look back.
Keep pushing to the degree where achievement is at.
Don't settle for anything less than what you deserve.
Keep striving forward; shake the mind of the world.
Remember, life will be full of shade coming from jealous people.
Continue planting your feet against all the deceit.
Nothing will stop your chapter from closing too soon.
Your book is just being written and will be on display in every room.
Wakes with a misaligned fanny
this tale is strange and uncanny
much unscrewiing it seems
with the man of her dreams
Her unfortunate state puts the blame onto Danny
Wont accept bhitch but accept a jolly good bonk
Discuss the size of willy......the wonk
I don't usually swear
or discus private hair
Here's the truth! This bard's not a shonk
Why stand with eyes fixed on the sky above,
While hearts grow weary and forget God's love?
The angels asked, "Why do you stand and gaze?"
When Christ has called us to more fruitful days.
The world distracts with sorrow, fear, and strife,
Yet Jesus is the Author of our life.
Look not beneath where passing shadows stay,
But fix your eyes on Christ, the Truth, the Way.
The signs unfold—wars, disasters, fear—
Yet every moment tells His coming's near.
This world is fading, fleeting as the dew;
Our lasting home is waiting, bright and true.
Why gain the world and lose your priceless soul,
When Christ alone can cleanse and make you whole?
Hold lightly all that time will one day claim;
Seek heaven's treasure, live to praise His name.
So stop your gazing—rise and boldly go;
Let all the world the love of Jesus know.
The risen Savior conquered death and sin,
And soon will come His faithful ones to win.
This same dear Jesus shall return again;
Till then proclaim salvation's joyful reign.
Point every heart to hope that will endure,
For Christ is coming soon—and in Him we are secure.
Love isn't something you find.
Love is something that finds you.
The peace. The calm.
Everything is clear.
Life is good
Oh no its coming
There is nothing I can do to stop it
The voices are getting quiet
The music is muffled
My shows all sound garbled
The ringing is getting louder
The static is screeching
Please make it stop
"Mom can I go to my friend's house?"
"Auntie can I have some ice cream"
"Huh?! What did you say?"
"Sister are you hungry?"
"Huh?! What did you say?"
"Why are y'all whispering?"
"We're not? We're actually screaming at you?"
I can't hear a thing
I can see their mouths moving.
It's clear they are looking for answers
But I don't know the questions
The ringing is getting louder
The music is muffled
No peace. No calm
I am crying and can't hear it
This can't be life
What am I to do?
It won't stop
The doctor says no device will help.
Is this my life?
The ringing? The static?
The distant conversation
What am I to do?
I'm tired
No more fight left
It won't stop
When does this feeling stop?
I heard your name
But this time,attached to a moment I wasn’t apart of
A part that not too long ago, you would tell me first
Suddenly my heart starting racing like the day we ended
Suddenly my vision blurry
Suddenly my eyes ready to cry
When will I stop caring about not being in your life anymore ?
Your name in a conversation and everyone moved on
I staying in the moment I heard your name
Suddenly the feelings I thought I was over with appears
I could think
But not anymore
The thought of you flooding my brain
The idea of us not being us
Suddenly breaking my heart all over again
When will I stop feeling this way ?
PLEASE STOP
Kill kill kill
Happening Everywhere,everyday
Young Girls,Young Men
College Students, Everyday people
It comes in all various places
To defeat these killings
We all have to gather that courage that's is in us
Thank God we have great heroes
Our local Police and just ordinary everyday people
That can stop these random killers
That keeps on fighting for our freedom
This country everyday is trying to heal
After all these shootings in this great country of ours
These killings has to end
As everyday are hearts continue to mend
People love to say,
"I have trust issues."
Like it's a confession.
Like it's a character flaw.
Like it's something we're supposed to apologize for
before anyone gets close enough to see it.
And for years,
that's what I called mine too.
Trust issues.
As if trust was the thing that broke.
As if I came into this world
with my arms crossed,
my walls up,
and suspicion stitched into my skin.
But that's not my story.
My story is that I trusted.
God, did I trust.
I trusted people with the softest parts of me.
The parts I hadn't even learned how to hold myself.
I believed promises
because I wanted to believe people.
I believed "forever."
I believed "I've got you."
I believed "I'd never do that to you."
I believed words
because I hadn't yet learned
that some people speak in comfort,
not truth.
And every time someone broke that trust,
they left carrying only the pieces they needed.
Why is it such a big deal to be an avaricious & pernicious alligator and just steal from every creator use all our data and turn even the meek & mild into a wild hater...
"How do we stop the lavatorial plop plop of AI slop
Cull the new crop an arch oligarch march to the top
No behavioural fop to an algorithm making you strop
Don’t be a sop to a pack who hijack a stack on the hop
Pander to your dander by knowing how you do shop
When you gander…. propaganda & slander they drop
This laboratory of hateful oratory is what we all cop
Cohorts sport.. escorts all sorts.. come on chop chop
All about the economy give woke folks a lobotomy op
Forgotten besotten rotten dot com bubble did pop
Impropriety no jobs swap entirety of society will flop
Social media greedier needier seedier stronger gallop
So how do we stay dry of sh*t from on high this AI slop
To stop bottom feeder sly lie then no longer be the mop"
I am forced to stop
the dead end holds me in place
I have left you in sorrow
I know I need you
without you I am nothing
I am returning to you
