ALZHEIMER


         
Why can't I be free
Everyone is living life except me
Is it that my brain won't let me be
Or is it because I'm acting irrationally 

Why can't I be free
I used to remember my past history
I never would have thought that this would be me
My brain is shutting down this is a catastrophe 

Why can't I be free
I can see everyone, but their no memory 
Everybody I love is a glare to me
I can't even recognize my on family 

Why can't I be free
To be stuck in a house, no more walking around freely
Lock doors and sticky notes are everywhere for me to read
I'm really getting mad at this life because of this difficulty 

Why can't I be free
I'm stuck in a prison of my own reality 
I'm trying to remember, but it's hurting me
I'm really scared because this is deadly

Why can't I be free
This disease has taken away my sanity 
There's no cure for this illness. It's not even a possibility 
You just fade away for eternity 

WHEN All I WANT TO DO IS BE FREE
BUT I'VE LOST MY Memory AND NO ONE CAN HELP ME!!!

Don't Stop

You will succeed in whatever you choose to do
The light will shine on the road ahead of you

Don't stop walking because the path is hard
Rely on your faith, and it will take you far

So take the high road and don't look back
Keep pushing to the degree where achievement is at

Don't settle for nothing less than what you deserve
Keep striving forward, shake the minds of the people who's trying to stop your world

Life will be full of shade coming from jealous people
Continue planting your feet on all the deceitful 

Nothing will stop your chapter from closing to soon
Your book is just the beginning and will be on display in every room

The Sound Of Thunder


At the first sign of the morning light
I hear the thunder roar!
It woke me from my sleep as the bed grappled my body
Not to be scared, I laid there motionless 
The lighting flashes through the window
I closed my eyes while I was listening 
Waiting for that moment to come - then all of a sudden 
Ka Boom!!!
Oh, what a sound!!!!  It drops your heart to the floor
While you are so scared, but be wanting to hear that sound some more.

Great Family Tree

Spring and Summer those seasons went by
The best thing in the world always falls from the sky
No matter the situation, the love was theirs
The price was no luxury for the poor boys and girls
To sit up and prosper with such a delight
It grew up so fast, like a thief in the night
Many more came from just that one person
The first one that came made things a little worser
Then things got better to the lucky number six
Because the best number of all was three from the mix
It grew up so beautiful with no time to wonder
Intertwined with the opposite, then here come November
With no time to spare, the poor thing grew
Then out of the blue one became two
Wasted no time at all it just happened to be
The best part about it came happy number three
To move out the way and stay the course
It was time to add one more, and that soon made four
The number was up, and everything was complete
And that was how it started my Great Family Tree!!!

Staying Up, Not Down

My emotions spinning around
My world's turned upside down.

I'm out of control
Confusion rules my soul.

Agony is reaching it's highest peak
My voice cracks when I try to speak.

Every hour of every day
I think of you in every way.

As the storm makes the wind spin around and around
Inside my mind, I feel like I'm going to drown.

The torture that's filling my brain
Make my eyes flow like a river drain.

Concede to the past and stop wasting time
Engulfing my heart with a piece of mind.

Thanking God for the passion of love
Celebrating my life like a flying dove.

WAKE UP

How can we conceal the idea of being a powerful race
When the identity of our ancestors is right in our face

We need to look in the mirror and see who we are
The reflection that stares back shouldn't leave you scared

It should open your consciousness and energize your mind
To a point of gravitation with endless time

To teach our young generation to have knowledge, not fear
To not be bound by the shackles for another thousand years

Let's deliver the message that we have enclosed
Let's stop having these meetings behind closed doors

Let's take off the aprons that conceals the message
Let's teach the word from the great "I Am" with hope and blessing

But we sit back and listen to the demonic race
Only to be told so many lies right to our face

Perfect Love

Love is like a flower it mature as you grow
It's passionate like a fruit that tastes so wonderful.

Love is blissful it captures the imagination 
It brings happiness to your soul, which has your spirit gravitating.
 
Love is so cosmic that it will have you floating on air
While they're sexualizing your mind with just a simple stare.

Love is so organic that it doesn't seem real
To the point you love their touch and the way it makes you feel.

Love is a boundary that no one should cross
Because your love isn't expendables it has no cost.

Love is making a person feel good with ecstacy 
Love is enjoying the company of a person very sexually.

So love the one you're with and don't let them go
Go sit down with that person and let them know.

That you love them so much, until death do you apart
Because that special person will always be in your heart.

SKATING UPON SATURN RING


We begin with the history of what life can bring
My history began with skating upon Saturn Ring

It was such an enjoyable and difficult defeat
I skate and dance while drifting on my feet

I then felt the intensity of this icy planet
My leg began to swerve, and I lost my stamina 

As I began to fall thinking, this is insanity 
No more questions. I began to use profanity 

Skating on the Rings of Saturn was such an enjoyment
I begin to wake up out of my dream with excitement

UNLOCKING THE NEGRO

The new becomes old, and no one notice
When the old was new, there was a motive
To plan ahead and take liberation back
When negros were mistreated and under attack

Before then, we were royalty with a mighty purpose
Before being enslaved by the ones who convinced us, we were worthless
We were transformed from riches, and they took our land away
Only to be brought to America on ships and made slaves.

Now the time has come to set things astray
It's time to revelate our mind from a sleepless state
No more being controlled and put in shackle 
My black race let's take over and show them we matter.

We are going to have the courage to fight every demon
With God on our side, they're going to pay for every beating
So let's not sit back and be afraid anymore
Heaven is unlocked, and "My God" is walking thru the door.

To save his people his most precious Jewels
With our spirit being reborn into a diamond of renewal
The time has come, so just say goodbye
Because this Caucasian race will fall on its side.

Love

Love is kind, love is blue
To Love someone means to treat them true
Love is like a flower it grows over time
Love is people who are sweet and kind
Love is a passion that draws people together
Love is a formula that has been around forever
Love is abstract, and you can't see it or touch it
Love is a feeling that has creativity 
Love is powerful it breaks when you're hurt
Love is what you get when you enter at birth 
Love is the very thing that makes the world go around
So love everyone and be happy to stay healthy above ground
