We The People...

Destroyed by government, controlled
by greed, living in hate, dying in need.
The need to live free, the need to let
be, it’s all about them, not you and me.
Taxes on this, taxes on that, give ‘em
their money or they might take it back!

Rejection

Fear of rejection has trapped me inside,
while anger and tension have damaged
my pride. I’ve tried to live right, yet have
only lived wrong; and the harder I try I
just can’t become strong.

I leave those behind that are closest to
me, and...

Uncle Sam

Living large on his golden throne,
this “trustworthy” man has grown,
and grown and grown!

His love for money grows stronger
everyday, and taking with it, man’s
freedom to choose his own way.

Give him an inch and he’ll take
a mile, give...

My Children

They’ve made me laugh
and they’ve made me cry,
but the best thing about
them is knowing they’re mine.
The world to me would stop
without them, for a reason to
live would be pointless again.

A purpose in life is what they are
to me,...

Betrayal

The knife in my back was worth
two through my heart.
And to think that I vowed,
“’Till Death Do Us Part!”
Never again will I trust like I did,
and be forced to let go of the
“one” life within.

I thought that I’d found a
soulmate for...

Love to Hate

Criticize – Don’t compromise,
to deal with these fu***ng lies.
You hesitate – I’d love to hate,
the things we do will dominate.
Stand-alone – Don’t be unknown,
this life you live cannot be shown.

Through darkness into light,
these feelings...

LOVE II

We live and we cry,
we love and we die.
Giving and taking love
as if it were a lie.
And while hate is still far from gone,
love, as always, stands boldly
beautiful and significantly strong.
Living life without the love
of one another;...

HIS Love

Live in love, die not in pain,
this life we live is not in vain.
Trust in Him your every sorrow,
be thankful if you’re given tomorrow.
In evil fear not, be righteous and stand,
His strength and power are placed in your hands.
Ask of His love...

LOVE

Love in its weakest form,
is more powerful than the strongest storm.
Gods gift to all who are willing to accept,
black, white, or red, it’s to HIM that we owe
this gratitude of debt.
When we know where to look,
LOVE’s abundance is clear.
As...

A pandemic victim...

What is it that drives me? You ask.
I don't know...
Could it be God's grip
that's seemingly growing cold..?
Alone with pen in hand,
in a dark and quiet place...
Driven to this life I lead,
though I'd rather be face to face!
Given no choice,...

Sorrow

What if I said I was contemplating suicide?
Would you believe me...? What if it was a lie?
I just couldn't control myself inside!
How do I get past what's keeping me bound?
My one, my all, they're flipping me upside down.
Are these only the fringes...
