Love

The Ideal of love is to love, love 
isn't found in a person's fashion 
sense and it isn't represented 
by the amount in someone's 
pockets nor is it bounded by 
our shade of skin. Love see's 
perfection when your eyes only 
see's imperfections. The 
hindrance that I've come to find 
from this generation, Is some 
of us are misguided by one's  
outward appearance or we 
often vaule a person for their 
status. Rather than search 
someone's soul by using our 
hearts. I'm a firm believer in 
universal law which teaches: "It 
is In giving love, that we 
receive love" a true sentiment 
that some of us overlook, 
because in relationships we 
tend to  fall short from 
expectation and standards that 
we want from each other. I 
always thought how can we 
want to find love, but yet want 
too put a face to it.  Theirs no 
refund when it comes to loving 
a person, so don't waste your 
investment if your not willing 
the spend. I know we're all 
scared of the risk and the 
uncertainty in putting our trust 
and time in something we think 
that doesn't look promising, but 
it's that same fear we have 
built up that has us eluding 
love, at some  point we all need 
to understand we can't expect 
it to all be perfect. Even the 
flawless of any diamond is 
mined from the darkest coal. 
So how can we expect to shine 
as an union if we're not willing 
to struggle with the 
imperfections in one another.

Emotional Weather

Sade sings the opening intro to my love life "wars of the heart" it's so hard for these feelings to coexist inside this portrait of pain is painted with sadden colors of "purple rain" but when "dove's cry "it's a hell of a down pour so I hide my tears under the same "umbrella" as Rihanna but Ann Pebbles explains it better but tryin to forecast this emotional weather leaves my souls empty without her it withers "Ain't no sunshine" when she's gone while in my eyes these clouds of precipitation trying so hard not to form.

Portrait of a Black Man

I write this willfully hoping we 
brothers that are lost can all 
find yourselves, it is said that 
“The value of a man resides in 
what he gives and not in what 
he is capable of receiving.” We 
as black men have forgotten 
how to give, it was a point in 
time that we were seen as 
protectors and providers, and 
considered the structured 
foundation for our family's . 
What happened to so many of 
us? that made us fall from 
grace, and lost hope and 
discarded our faith. We've let 
this world misguide our 
direction and changed our 
steps, chained our minds to 
these materialistic idols that 
only dull our souls. Portrait of a 
black man lets paint divinity in 
the way we use to shine, and 
once again be a meaningful 
sunrise to a generation that 
turned off their lights. It's 
imperative that we find  
common ground with our 
women, because with faults in 
our own foundation we will 
never be able to build happy 
homes. Our own selfish acts 
and desires are the reason they 
made a "Plan B", to control the 
conception of birth when our 
"Plan A" should be to add value 
to a women's worth, and raise 
sons to become kings and 
daughters to become queens. I 
write this not to preach or to 
teach you, but only give 
enlighten thoughts for I once 
too sat in the dark, but know I 
understand why Prometheus 
took fire from the gods. Portrait 
of black man there's still truth 
in religion but there's none in 
your true religions, you can't 
buy those type of genes. Our 
brand names should be our 
legacy.

Greater

Let us change ourselves for 
today so we can proceed to be 
greater for tomorrow.  Live this 
life not for only you but a 
generation that needs more 
leaders and creators. For the 
mind is a dormant place that 
needs to be awakened to see 
it's full capabilities. For who are 
we to hold ourseleves back and 
who are they to deny us the 
right to achieve, For we are 
made in his image and he has 
given onto us an understanding 
and the mindset to seek 
knowledge, and from this 
wisdom is built to strengthen 
our foundation. So rise up kings 
and queens. For it is a fine 
thing to place your castles In 
the sky, but without seeds from 
the soil how can one really 
know what it is like to truly fly. 
So be afraid not to think 
different take control of your  
destiny be creative through 
your visions.
