Freedom,FREEDOM,freedom

Boom,Boom like thunder,a distant sound/
Lighting like flashes from the grounds morning dew/
Closer and closer,Ma,Ma Iam afraid of the storm/
Dearest daughter thats' the bells of freedom/
For our people everwhere/
Smell of gun powder death abounds/
Rivers and creeks running red with blood/
Stench of death over flowing/
Thunderous cannons shaking the ground/
Booms of freedom,our distant friends/
The price of freedom a heavy toll/
Free from slavery's chains atlast/
Slave to freedom the hard road to began/
40 acres and a mule is what they said/
A lie on which we will grow old/

W










Hunger,pain and sorrow traveling the unkown road of tomorrow/
Droplets of tears,a babies eye's/
My breasts run dry,as I listen to my babies cry's
A hurricane twisting inside/
Hands blistered from picking cotton/
Barefoot,hungry and cold,the masters cruelty prevails/
Many lay dead/
My women's treasure stole from me,the masters pleasure/
Burning my mind as I travel the road ahead/
His wip still stinging me in my sleep/
Help me my Lord get on with the fight/
Hatred every where,Their eyes burning,the devils fire
Decade after decade/
In search of freedoms bed/
Tell the day Iam not judge by the color of skin/
But the man Iam/
When life is all over/
And my body has been burned/
I will ask of you then/
Which color Iam........

Exposed

Taken away his trickets and cash/
now in open view just another ass/

Love

You have given me something
I hope with no regret
I will never return it I expect
Through joy and sorrow
It is the only thing I look forward to
Each tomorrow

John's World

He sits in the darkness of day light
What world does his mind dwell in
Only to see what he wishes to see
His ears hear what he wishes them to hear
He no longer knows what he will say or has said
No longer young, but far from old
He has no goals, his world consist of thee
He knows everything, but yet his life consist of nothing
But for thee
It is all he wants, all he seeks
He sets no example for you or me
A mentor he will never be
He ask that his life be extended as long as can be
No matter how expensive that may be
He has no money anyway you see
He leaves all that up to you and me

Ignorance

Surrounded by ignorance
Expelling energy of thought
To those with no tolerance to understand
Sitting their ass in despair
Ending up nowhere
Listening to one another thoughts
With great care
We learn the greatest knowledge of life
Developed from people everywhere

His Mask

His mask in place
He hides his face
Not wanting you or me to see
His world in toil
A life, failed to be
Alone in his brain
Hideous thoughts remain
The world fading from refrain
Being special is only in his brain

Eyes

Your eyes do not see
What is inside of me
Open your ears so you can understand
Close your eyes and listen
Learn of your fellow man
Only the minds intentions
No mirror to show reflections
Have you gained full reception
Now that I have your minds attention
