you talk the talk can,
you walk the walk
talk is a manner’s talk of manner
you talk the manner can you walk the manner
a man’s manner is a man’s moral
you talk the moral can you walk the moral
talking is a cheap moral
talking is a cheap manner
moral is a cheap talk
moral is a cheap manner
talking is cheap,walking is highly
talking is cheap,walking is highly walking
talking is highly talking
talking is highly a manner of talking
talking highly is talking cheap
talking highly is walking the walk
cheap is highly a cheap talk
walking cheap is talking cheap
walking cheap is walking the cheap walk
walking cheap is walking the cheap talk
talking is talking a cheap walk
Community talk is cheap
My brethren money's dirty
My sisters mothers of the Earth
Take none of this for granted
Talk is cheap
Yes it is you can talk your way out of almost anything
Talk is cheap but it takes money to buy land
Lies are cruel
Everybody plays a fool
My profession they live by the Golden rule
When someone is down
Don't leave them on the ground
Do not leave them
Detached and bearing and broken found
Yeah talk is cheap
You want everything this is deep
But my brother takes money to buy land
Their children do not leave them
These are children let us not merely say
that we love each other (always)
Let us show the truth by our actions for you see
If you really really want to help me
Waiting right here let me turn my head
And give you my ear cuz you see my brother
talk is cheap but it takes money to buy land

Life’s about in my doing not in what I say,
my actions remain though time may creep.
Idle words can haunt me on any given day,
and because words come easy talk is cheap.
“Better to see something once,
than to hear about it a thousand times.”
(Asian Proverb)
don't just talk
get out and walk
better day you seek
don't be weak
you are the hope
get out and vote

Talk Is Cheap

Our actions and attitude shouldn’t differ
from the words that we verbalize.
The matter isn’t whether we will convey a message,
the issue is, the message we’re conveying already.
Are we passing God’s spotlight test?
Does a difference exist between what we’re saying,
and what we’re doing?
“Talk is cheap, and actions speak louder than words.”
“We are what we do, not what we say we’ll do”
We shouldn’t tell God what we’ll do
HE knows already!
I am not that person anymore
I have settled old score's
People can change
Can they ?
Do they really ?
You tell me !
Or are we not creatures of habit ?
And are the only people who this mythology dispel ?
Trying far to hard to pass off the same old set of cards
As second hand for new
But can't fool you anymore
Because fool me once
I stopped counting second chance's
When I ran out of fingers and toe's
And what we sow we reap
Talk is cheap
some this and that
and run like a rat
there word don't keep
don't be
knock off your feet
or weak
TALK IS CHEAP
In days gone cold
They a wire installed
Up to then we spoke a-free
Hours spoke away did we
Suddenly they charged us and still speaking did
But rather less, though speaking still
Now between us they installed
I speaking louder called and called
Charging more but less installed
Then signal lost between the posts
Are masts and masts and masts and hosts
Skype and such fragmented ghosts
Tangled up wires and pillars and posts
Towers and satellites and signals and names
Names of things unheard of till now
Don't worry it's just a tracking device
Please keep on talking nice
Lost in a crowd smile declining
Talked till I got hoarse
And they recorded the track
Quickly fast forward and slow motion back
No one is lying only signals got crossed
Just frustrated and senile and lost
Ignoring the question
Believing the cost
if you walk
than talk don't stark
walk that beat
words you keep
you see
you can't be weak
TALK IS CHEAP
if its what you seek
than you me kept
the word bond
to get the work done
don't be weak
walk the beat
until its complete
to see
TALK IS CHEAP
I would rather talk of love than talk of pain
I would rather embrace in love than think war
I would rather caress than fight a beloved one
I would rather do than think of doing it the act
For it only hurts so when it's a thought a wish
I would rather write of nice stories and hide the gloom
Them feelings spilling themselves on my poetic picture
That hardening of heart when i don't want to embrace
The hurt's and scratches deep inside my soul i.. wanna
I want to cry Daddy give me the grace to face all
Meat and bitter herbs i am partaking today-
Celebrating the Lords Passover - embittered
Would rather my words were pure sweetness
Soul in tears sacrificed at the pedestal of love
Soul that seeks to find refuge that elusive hug
Hugs that wipes away all the tears and fears
Cleaning all the grime and glut of this soul
Embrace that delivers from the pit of gloom
Hug that softens this hardness in mine eyes
Looking above - love and betrayal a is a cup
code 254
Lewis Nyaga

TALK IS CHEAP
Talk is cheap
That’s what they say
Say what you mean
And mean what you say.
Words of wisdom
For what they’re worth
May or may not ring true.
Verbiage can appear as anything
Close or far from fact
One has to listen carefully
To be able to discern the truth.
Words can say anything
Anything at all
Words can act as high fences between
Or they can be the bricks
Building up broken walls.
Words, just like people
Can appear to have no meaning
They can leave the versions
of their truer selves
Largely left unseen.
The higher words appear to fly
The farther their meanings may fall
One should always read words with caution
And carefully read between the lines
That’s the only way to know
If it’s true words
That one is hearing
By the author's own design.
