Church mess

The Preacher says “we need more leaders”
But I'm lead to believe he's looking for more believers
A few lack luster achievers maybe a few thief-ers
Dipping in the collection plates filled by collective faith
Hoping to buy their way to heaven bypassing buying that new 911
Or the future of their own children's tomorrow
Letting this man talking for God borrow a few dollars
So when he follows his speeches with who's in need of saving
I think to myself the money in the church is going straight
To his BOYFRIENDS Le Saber
As they give each other the eye as he directs the singing
The preachers wife is mad as hell but she is getting really nice
Coming to church in her nice tight dress
Heals and freshly done nails
Smiling at all the brothers holding the hand of her man
But she's of course giving the glory to another
Scream JESUS when she isn't at church
As another man other than the pastor lays hands all over her
Mean while I sit in the back wanting to ask some question
Like “who made God, and who made WHO MADE GOD”
Instead I sit quietly knowing when I move out my mothers house
I will no longer be stepping foot into some one else SO-CALLED holy house
When all I see is the devil dancing
And sister Nancy pretty much dropping it and shaking it faster
Try to get the attention of the pastor
Who eye's are on the booty of the man who his wife calls “that bastard”
While she winks at brother Jenkins stuffing another $20 in her Victoria Secret bra
Which is not such a secret to all because I see it all
Waiting wondering wishing the doors of the church would hurry up and open
So I can run through the opening and carry my behind home.

Definition (23)

I am the sentence’s message
The speeches mission
The words of the meaning of life
I am the scream of protest
The reaction of revolt
The blasting bombing boom of blaspheme
As I break the burning beacon of silence with my mention
I am the 40 wpm pounding of a keyboard
The printed out doctrine of speechless thought
Constituting reason is my voice
And logical placement is my force
I am a simple vision put into words and spoken, written or acted on

I am a STATEMENT

Times like this

Times like this I wish I never had a child
Not because it’s hard work of because her mothers wild
But because of all this mess going aroun
People killing themselves on web cams
Or getting shot over food stamps
Individuals demonized for mind rants
When the true devil with the angel face is in your place
Nights like this I hope I don’t wake in teary sweats
Cursing life for allowing me to meet, love and lose Celeste
Making me turn away the rest because I have had the best
Then forcing me to love on with needless feelings of regret
Catching glimpses of people that resemble her
Giving me rage till I realize she’s not around
I know my sleeping sobbing woke the house
But I wish my words would wake the world
At least my own pain could heal the sick
Instead of everyone feeling as if things are well as I deal with this shit
I wish that this was a time to celebrate
Instead hope and dreams separate logic from facts making truth feel like fiction
As they call bondage freedom and Revolutionary talk Revolting
Times like this I wish me nor my daughter were around
So she won’t grow up in a world built on fear
And I wasn’t here forced to se it all powerless to fix it all

Well...

Well….you couldn’t stand me
Tried to kill me
Silent’s me
And those that taught me
Raped women that loved me
Teach children wrong that want to understand me
Well…
You wanted to use me
Enslave me
Abuse me
Lock me away
They say it’s wrong of me to escape
Well…
You thought you had to tolerate me
Over come me
Cheat me when no ones looking
Misconscrew my words
And undercover demonize me
Well….
I guess you love me
Rushing into my nations
Tune into my stations
Join in on my frustration
But fall short when you try to match up to me

Well…envy me but you NEVER will stop me

The winds are coming

The winds are coming
The winds are blowing
The winds of change are flowing in
Blowing away the BS thought to be too heavy to topple
Too deeply implanted to move
Dying to remain the same standing on weak foundations
The winds are moving the loose ground creating new landscapes
Along with the dark clouds, rainy sky’s the old world is being eroded away
Leaving behind a new refreshing chance to grow better
This is a warning to all those open to a different life
To rush to higher ground adapt to their new surroundings
And be ready to float on the changing tide
Because the winds are coming
The winds are blowing
The winds of change are blowing in

It's own evil

When the decision was made it was in good intentions
Driven by a worthy purpose with a positive outcome
Everything about it was good and needed
Demanding of time but the time that was used was well spent
It burst to the surface from the hard work and optimism
It grew with loose lips telling the world about its arrival
But as soon as multiple uses became an option
It was used to hurt and blind the masses
Used as a reason to kill its desire was it's own
The purpose it served over stepped it's boundaries
And when a few wanted to put it back in check
It was used to alter it's own evil reality
Nobody saw that it changed into a virus
Became a killer of what it was made to help
The only hope now is to kill it for the worlds hope
Build a new one but with everyone watching
To make sure it doesn't once again go out of control
High off power
Control
Strength

The Government we build after we kill this one must be for the people
And not for the government itself............

There's better ways to die

There's better ways to die
Then playing the part of the fool
Pulled into a “nigger moment”
Fighting over food
Killed over shoes
Being in the wrong place at the wrong time
And knowing that it was wrong before you got there
Executed for a crime you didn't commit
Eating yourself to 3 or 4 heart attacks
Being aborted when you didn't ask for life
Using toxic birth control instead of self control
Killing yourself for any reason not worthy of life
Cold hungry and homeless
Warm greedy and pointless
Being shipped off to a FEMA camp
Murder because a government is afraid of the people it should work for
Letting that stocker get close one too many times
Driving 100 in a 30 at night with your lights off
Shot by dirty cops with selective sight seeing a black gun in the hand
Holding a white iPod shuffle owned by a black man
Shit being black in a white nation
Being bold around paranoid people
Being desperate in a wealthy country
Starving when other have enough to share
Just being there when it all fell
There's better ways to die but too many die needlessly
But I'll fight to my death before I let it be me

Love her

I stand here unknown to my enemy
But well know to their cameras
Watched, stocked and monitored
Still they know little about me
Just the knowledge I fight them keeps them watching
They fail to see my motivation
My need to keep going forward with unrelenting pressure
They know I’m coming but they don’t know
Because she told me to
As she flies over me
Glowing her light on my path
Her love guiding me on
Telling me for us I should stand
For her love I demand justice
Change is always in motion but I make it change in my favor
As she looks at me forever smiling
I fight because she loved me
She once stood right beside me
Made me strong by loving my tremble
Making me strong when I weaken
My queen my lady my moonlight NOW my mission
To live up to her belief in me keeps me moving
For her and our people I demand our rights
Search for the truth
Fearlessly running my mouth
No longer fearing death because my love waits for me over head
I talk to her twice a day
Sleep with her through the night
Honor her in every way
Since she was here everything was all right
Though she’s gone I carry her love into battle
Vocally firing off rounds loud enough for our heaven to hear it
I gave them my reason for continue the war
Now they can look over there shoulders
Because thanks to her love I climb the walls

The Words of a speechless thought

The said unsaid
Words heard through the wind with no direction
Soundless racket pounding ear drums
Echoes with no vibration
Hums origin free
Haunt my vocal silence
Bring meaning to nothing
Form to transparent
Crowds to depravation
Out of the need to shut up to save your life
I speak the undesired truth
Destroying the needless lies
Thinking of fiction as I uncover false
Break chained minds with repeated info
Supply the fiend dis-creditor with reference collateral
While raising interest rates
With the words of a speechless thought
Brought to the surface made buoyant with rising consciousness
Snuffing of the hot air hell source
At times with force
Of course to make sure what is real is seen
And kept quiet is heard
For the sake of knowing what’s going on
Ensuring life goes on
For the most first of all
Because many needs out weigh the few
This is something we should all know
Yet selfishly over look staying numb to the worldly pain
With pills covering collective symptoms
Killing your connection to all
That’s why I rabidly attack the normality of sleep
With words foaming from my mind to your eyes and ears
Ending your restful state rapidly returning
Real nightmares back to your long lost mind
With the words of a speechless thought
From this 3rd eye un-blind

Gentlemanly Dilemma

If I respect and honor women is it wrong for me to mess with a hoe
Join my lust with hers and burst the yearns
Kick up her heals and just enjoy how it feels
Forget what my mother taught me and enjoy the filth
Speak quietly of our exploits
Only to voice loudly our conquest in the room with her alone
Call her when I want some
Answer her we she’s ready to receive
Keep conversations to one topic
Talk only when she’s moaning my name
Show emotion to her when she’s occupied with my “brain”
Enter her mind through my lap
Demand a kiss after giving her behind a firm smack
You can’t turn a hoe into a house wife that’s what I’ve been told
But if love and respect is all you’ve ever learn to give a women
And all she cares about is making you release a little sperm
Is my respect something I should give to her freely or something I make her earn

With no words

Yes I believe I am better
Though I didn't have to say it
But you know it expecting my eyes to faultier
Diverting from your glare
Yet I stare waiting on you to make a move
Threatening my personal space with your intrusion
Your steps get closer but my direction never changes
To you it's strange for me its the same
Never will I step to the right and till my head
Or accept your gift to me of shame
Head high and walking
You jaw tight and pupils gawking
As you jump from my path
In that moment 500 years of false superiority is slapped down
When I told you I was a man with no words spoken
Never to be your token
I look back and your stuck as if your choking
When you notice the Red Black and Green flag on my business bag

Always loving

Always loving
Always golden
Forever mine

Forever for you I gave you my heart
You left with me the keys to your emotion
Gave you my everything
Shared with me your all
Wrapped my coldness in you
And your heart made me harm
Allowed you into my darkness
And you love gave me light
Promised you the world and you gave me the stars
Wanted you to be my queen
You choose to be my wife
I played with your complexities
Yet you just held me simply
Told me you love me as I told you I needed you
Destiny took you away
Internally here your love stays with me eternally

Always loving
Always golden
Forever mine
