You decide
Remember when we were children?
We thought water flowed endlessly, and the leaves
never died.
At the playground, the sand was eternal. We would dig
to the very last grain until spring turned into fall.
Friendship lasted forever, every day
a new endeavor
We played until the sun met the earth, and
laughed until we didn't feel alone
Oh my, why does yesterday feel

Modern Woman You Decide
Have you ever noticed that beautiful woman,
the one who’s been single for years?
In this world where connection is at our fingertips,
where voices ping and echo across social feeds,
still, she stands alone.
It begs the question, doesn’t it?
Why? How? Who and where?
As if throwing a penny in the air and wondering
Would anybody care?
Maybe it's a choice.
Some women

If you decide to get a cobra
If you decide to get a cobra
Better make it one who is black said Mrs. Minty.
We have a pet cobra that is white
She is prolific, her babies number twenty
I was horrified, for snakes are not my favorite things
I cannot imagine choosing to be with them.
And yet here was Mrs. Minty, whose praises many sing.
Who thinks

You Decide
You can’t progress
Eyes can see it
Your eyes show as clear as day
You learned the art of taking advantage of others
Maybe consciously maybe unconsciously
Either way you learned it from another that did the same to you
And now you can’t shut it off
Your addicted
The question is
Do you want

You Decide
Yesteryear our forefathers
Declared their Independence
They fought for freedom
They built a nation
They etched out a life
They considered the greater good
Today, we demand our way
We deserve what we want
We destroy what is in our way
We expect life to bend to our will
We want what’s best for us.
Tomorrow is a new day
Which legacy do you want
Togetherness

You Decide
When you look at the present
What do you see
Is it the image you built
You portrayed it to be
When you look at your past
What do you feel
Is it an uplifting beat
Or is it a pain too real
When you look at your future
What do you want
Is it a positive image
Or will you let

Why Did You Decide So
Another day full of questions my son.
You decided to wake up late.
While you knew you the nation needs you.
Here you are just confused where to start.
Why did you decide so?
I just heard rumors you have a kid in the hills.
We have had many conversations about marriage.
Where is my daughter-in-law?
Where is my grandson?
Why did you decide

Just When You Decide
The barrier is broken
And the captive is pardoned.
The stainless blood is shed
And there’s no more a tear.
He was bruised
That we may be healed.
In our darkest and deepest despair
The Master’s love quenches all senses of fear.
Thanks to the Prince
We are no more slaves to sin.
Because of His peace
We can finally be at ease.
The battle is

Some Believe
“Our lives are influenced by fate and karma”
or
“The alignment of the stars represents our true personalities”
You Decide
Are our lives already pre-determined?
or
Is life what we make of it, through the options we have chosen?

You Decide
Beautiful I say
You’re beautiful
He laughs like moonlight on
Water,
Flashes those dark green eyes,
Reminding me of cave walls I’d love to
Get lost in
My darling,
You scream of adventure and home.
Beautiful,
Just beautiful
I whisper from the other side of a
Camera lense
Who would’ve thought
The collision of this day and the next
Would set the horizon on fire.
She paints words across
