James Edward Lee Sr. Poem
You look at me so uninviting;
I may have some missing teeth, stumble when I walk, bout' to FALL!!!
Stutter when I talk, but yet I'll still call;
Might smell like ole mothballs or mint or maybe even Old Spice;
You see me and you stare, you're looking at the patches of my skin YES! it's different (maybe diseased ) different;
different colors and wrinkled on my face, the gray in my hair;
Yes you still stand there and stare. . .
I may talk bout RCA, Philco record players you say "what's that;
I might talk bout Annie Oakley, BoZo the Clown, Captain Midnight, you say Whose that;
Well child let me tell you all...
Don't throw me away;
Cause I'm just like you;
Don't put me out cause I'm too slow;
You think I'm in the way and I can no longer grow;
Don't throw me away, place me in a rest/nursing home;
Don't put me away because you think I'm in the way;
I', senior don't talk bout me in front of me I don't understand a word you say;
I'm alive, I have more brain cells and I got all my memory, well;
That's more than I can, say for you huh-hey!
Imagine if I'd treated you such;
But I wouldn't cause I've got God's love in me so much. . .
Love you see
::::::::::::::::::::::::what?::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
So I just suck it up turn the other cheek;
I may tumble but I won't fall;
I may forget something's but not all;
And yes I still eat meat;
Cause I got all my teeth;
Remember your just trying to get where I am at now;
I'm a senior don't throw me away;
I'm telling you I'm history and I'm a part of God's glory wanna hear, come here;
Come here and sit down, I sit in a chair can hardly rise or go anywhere;
You see me and you stare I drive slow you begin to cuss and swear;
I won't do you ill;
I won't act like you will;
I'll take you today......
But I won't, I will NOT THROW YOU AWAY
Dedicated to all Gods people's 60 years of age to 100 years
Thank you for your wisdom, thank you for your life. . .

James Edward Lee Sr. Poem
I come from the twilight
Of dusk to dawn
Yet I can't stand
All around me downtown
All in up and around
Signs saying of "Whites Only"
Mustn't go into that café or restaurant
Funny, thing tho!
My soft money green, my hard money silver just like yours
With all this and all that
I am so glad so glad that
God ain't no respect of persons.. . .
GOD NO COLORED GOD
My blood bleeds red, we all have bone marrow tissue
Blood flowing through our veins
If I were hungry and stolen some bread would you prosecute me
Yeah I stole because I was hungry
You won't give me a job yet if I had yours I be making $1.64 cents an hour
No need to feel sorry for me
I didn't make myself I am brown, blue, black, charcoal gray
You still react no more signs labeled "Whites Only"
Now they're posted permanently in your minds
Different land masses hills, valleys, blue grasses
GOD NO COLORED GOD
The white supremacist, KKK, skinheads only the bad Muslims not the good
Anyone who believes in race/color separations
We're all brothers (God Is no color GOD)
We're all brothers not about the skin its about the soul;
We're all brothers not about what's outside but what's within
We're all brothers
God a No Color God
He's spiritual not natural
We're all brothers all colors NO colored God
God is a no Color God
God not a colored God He breathe His spirit into modern clay now we're in
dependent voices with free wills
Choices all knees will bow "White only-Colored Here"
The good the bad ravished happy sad black brown blue purple orange hues Red white you choose cause
GOD NO COLORED GOD

James Edward Lee Sr. Poem
We went all our children
To be in land of the free
We want all our children
To be, to be
Live in a land of liberty
By our consitution written by men
For all men
And when you're done all your miss treating
Denials and abusive beatings
Give the Government back to the People
but then in nineteen seventy's
Dishonesty with the presidency
Watergate
Mrs. Patrica Hearse, kidnappings
Zebra killings, brother, brother, brothers murders
Stop all the killings, those zebra killings
Black racism, Ku Klux Klan is not what we the people understand
OH, how we are hated abused, misused talking about separating
Laws are gathered together
But there's not for all flocks or all feathers
Hey! weatherman what's ya think about the weather
And when you're done all your miss treating
Denials and abusive beatings
Give the Government back to the People
Wanna make some news
Start a fire, a riot, or shoot someone
For the pleas of Nixon
Mama's still in the kitchen
Making homemade apple pie
My reality is still sly
And what of his men
So many of his men were involved in a cover up
While at the summer picnic Bobby say's "pass the ketchup"
And when you're done all your miss treating
Denials and abusive beatings
Give the Government back to the People
How do we protest most of them arrested
Right on, right on
Ain't gonna twist my arm
To the man whose head is in the sky
My brother ain't no galaxies he can't divide
I am not the sun or the moon
I am not the morning dew
I am not the air the water your mother's daughter
And when you're done all your miss treating
Denials and abusive beatings
Give the Government back to the People
The atmosphere contains within it's self so much pressure
I'm a black one, black man whose skin color makes me no lesser
All men, all creeds, all nationality
Who sits within the marble walls of Washington
Oh, Mr. President give us the government congress, senate
Can't you see, that you really, no really you work for me
Take a look at me, tell me what do you see
And when you're done all your miss treating
Denials and abusive beatings
Give the Government back to the People
Stop this one man rule before it
s to late don't be the fool
So once more America will never loss faith, never more disbelieve you
Right On, right on whose gonna stop you
America give the pride and dignity most men live on
Forever we give love people don't be cruel the man in the office represents you
For the pleas of Nixon
Mama's still in the kitchen
Making homemade apple pie
My reality is still sly
And what of his men
To the man whose head in the sky
My sister, my mother, my brother, my father
Don't be surprised
On any level of thinking wrong or right
Post positive negative relatively or not
Take a look at me, tell me what do you see
And when you're done all your miss treating
Denials and abusive beatings
Give the Government back to the People

James Edward Lee Sr. Poem
The Hop Devil you've already been defeated
You've been thrown out of heaven
So now you're casting lots trying to defeat me
But what you don't understand is it's not part of God's plan
I am a man and I take my stand
And I must insist I shall resist
Those fiery darts headed for my mind and my heart
I'm going to be more than a conqueror
More than a conqueror I'm more than a conqueror yes I am
More than a conqueror
I am excising my authority over the enemy or
I am more than a conqueror
More than a conqueror I am more than a conqueror
Yes I am more than a conqueror
I am exercising my authority over the enemy
I am an overcomer by the blood of the Lamb
I am more than a conqueror yes I am
I can't be defeated but this is not part of God's plan
Satan get thee behind me but I am taking a stand
More than a conqueror I'm more than a conqueror
Yes I am more than a conqueror
Satan I rebuke in you and in myself I resist my thoughts
But my Lord my God has helped me be this conqueror
More than a conqueror
More than a conqueror
I've got my trust in Jesus and my God has supplied my armor
I will go to war into the battlefield soothe it up and holy gear
I am ready for the battle and I shall not have been more than a conqueror
I am more than a conqueror yes I am
I am exercising my authority over the enemy
Bring it all Lucifer I am free the fiery darts will no longer persuade me
I have authority over you I rebuke you I'm suited up in righteousness
Time to end of this faithfulness the victory is the Lord and he has overcome
I am more than a conqueror yes I am

James Edward Lee Sr. Poem
Mama and them, took us aside
When we cried
She wiped our eyes
She grandma and Auntie
Bathed and feed us
Took us to church learnt us bout' JESUS
And when it was time for bed
We kids would put on pajamas and them night shoes
~
NIGHT SHOES
We won't need in glory
On them heavenly golden grounds
NIGHT SHOES
Worn in the daylight
Shines in steps of grace
When grandpa died grandma said he paid his dues
Ole granny told the mortician, sir, please dress him in them old
Night Shoes

James Edward Lee Sr. Poem
<(Strong Faith displayed sung/said throughout entire song)>
Strong Faith
There are so many things in this life
So many obstacles that isn't right
You have to sit there for a minute
Be clear and no that Satan not always in it
Sometimes yo just have to beware
It's you and your personal choice
In sin nature
I am so glad that I repented
I hate to be late for my trip
To heaven when I pass this life
I am saved and guaranteed
That I won't be first nor last
I'm gonna be number eight
I believe I got this
I got strong faith, strong faith;
I got it, strong faith;
Use to be a sinner man
Now I'm just a repented soul
Use to say just any old prayer
head bowed down and folded hands
Sometimes I jut have to beware
It's me and my personal fears, (my choices)
Can't blame it on friend or family
Or even sin nature
I am so glad that I repented
I hate to be late for my trip
To heaven when I pass this life
I am saved and guaranteed
That I won't be first nor last
I'm gonna be number eight
I believe I got this
I got strong faith, strong faith;
I got it, strong faith;
So what if the world gonna end one day
So what if police and gangs shootings keep on
So what if a major disease comes and terminates every family
So what if there's more tropical storms
And in Alaska still they try to keep warm
So what if there's a World War 3
So what if California drops off the continent
I shall and so will you be covered
By the blood of the one whose already set us free
And I believe, I believe, I believe
I am so glad that I repented
I hate to be late for my trip
To heaven when I pass this life
I am saved and guaranteed
That I won't be first nor last
I'm gonna be number eight
I believe I got this I got strong faith
