To Live Within Destruction

To live within destruction is a nightmare in action
A living maze with no way out
A darken cave with hopes of light
For many a desperate prayer for help 
To be lost within your soul with helpless intention
With millions to come to the aid of many
To be carried away lifelessly
To survive on very little supplies

Managing life's daily task without the basic needs
No lights to brighten the nights dark
No water to wash away the mud
No gas to fuel the common vehicle
With contaminated air to breath
No food to feed the soul
Without means of communication with the out side world

Still to live within destruction is living within the world
To see my babies sweat continuously
To hear their cries of misery and pain
To live without a way to bath, and clean your house
to live in shame of your destroyed or helpless deed
To be misguided by the government assistance
To received no help at all from FEMA

what they don't want you to know is, how many 
sustained damage to houses, cars,furniture,and
others person items, But still was told THIS IS NOT A DISASTER !

Katrina

We were warned in advance, But
couldn't with stand the wind within

Katrina you came like a thief and the 
night with increasingly high winds

To claim the soul of many
You left lost within the land many to take a stand

Your powerful winds and strong rain
reach a 1000 miles in land leaving behind a destructive path

To bring about poor, hunger, misery, and pain
With millions at hand for repairs

Still nothing to compare to  the Experience within
You came with a plan, and left through out the land, your mark

Saying I was here see how I scored
Katrina a bad woman that said, you don't want no more of me.

Feel My Pain

Feel my pain
Hear my Cry
Live my life for once in your life

Teach me right
Teach me wrong
Teach me not for i will learn

You can shot me down 
You can shut me out
Without a doubt I will be heard

You can rape me 
You can take me 
But you can not break me

You can hurt me 
You can love me
But who am I without a father to love me

Feel my pain for once and see why i sing this song of pain
Hear my cry, Feel my pain,  For i am one living in pain.

We Well Rise

We well rise beyond the occasion of miseducation
to succeed in the process of educating our mind.

We well rise beyond the misery and pain
to find happieness and ambition and the arising

We well rise against the racism slang
to accomplishes so much more

We well rise above the destruction and treagedy
to succeed in reality

We well  soar through the air like a eagle
to catch a breath of fresh air

We well rise beyond our limits to reach 
our spiritual image.

To succeed in life beyond our misfortune
to live beside the fortune

My Life

I'm living in pain
I'm living in anger
i am livin with a sister
that loves to tell lies on me
I am livin with a mother
that doubt me
Iam about to go insane ,NO
I want let them get to me

I have a ability to succeed in life
I have the ability to leave behind my family
I have the power to prove them wrong
And make someone of myself.

I am livin in a week
that seem like it is constanly
repeating itself over and over again,
My life seems to be a livin maze
my life seems to be up side down
My head is span around
piece by piece they are turn me inside out

They down me cause of the way i am
 they hate me for who i am
 they see me passin by right then there
nose's and the air
rollin of the eyes
turn of the head,
 If you look close enough their's fire there eyes
they stare so hard that I swear they can see clean through me.
