Love is not a color,
No hue, neither a race.
All of our blood is the same,
That runs deep within our veins.
If we could lift up each other,
And know that we all care.
If we help our sisters and brothers,
There's a bond that we'll share.

The Las Vegas shootings were Horrific.
The people running as the rapid fire was
sounding off in the background!
The wild fires in California, fifteen people
dead, and it is not controlled yet!
Hurricanes Maria, Irma, Jose, southern
coast is devastated, Puerto Rico is in need
of help!
Pizza Gate Pedophile rings in America!
Players kneeling and disrespecting our flag
for which Men and Women have sacrificed
their lives for.
Enough is Enough!
You will Not Steal My Joy, I reach for the remote
and turn off the "Joy Stealer" the TV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In this land there is a mighty voice that can
sing a mighty song.
Often it is a song of I don’t belong and all sort
of other things that are wrong.
This mighty voice can herald itself in the
grateful praise of being strong.
All while asking what else is to be spawn in a
struggle to do no wrong.
Should it be we shall live in all eternal
knowing wrong being strong.
It is God’s place to be so strong and
to know all wrong.
So it is in praise to him we should knell as we
spawn our grateful song.
There is one more thing in his Love
eternal song
We all belong.

"Make America White Again"
Will never make any sense
Despite the tweets of "GENIUS" Trump
Or Republicans like Pence
Brown-skinned people filled this land
From one end to the other
And though they had their differences
"Eve" is everyone's mother
Though some are prone to cast a stone
Or ridicule their brother
What makes a nation great again
Is love for one another.

Slipperier than a Greased Eel In a Vat of Astroglide
That Hillary’s sociopathic streak is a mile wide
In case you haven’t noticed, the fix is in
But her followers love her even if she’s guilty as sin
We all think she should be a woman of greater convictions
Both moral and criminal, given her total lack of friction
She’s got a layer of Teflon thicker than Gotti
And to the Secret Service, a mouth full of potty
She looks crookeder than even a barrel of snakes will
Phonier than A William Jefferson Clinton three dollar bill

No, I won't come,
because you don't want me to come!
*
Even though this is the last chance to see you,
I won't come.
Even though every cell of my body is crying,
I won't come.
Even though I need to come
just like I need to breath,
I won't come.
Even though I'm dying,
I won't come.
*
It's the most difficult decision
I've ever made in my life.
However, it is much easier for me
than to continue rending my dignity.
*
I'm tired of my love for you!
I'm tired of myself and you!
I will never come to you!
keep ignoring me, Sangmi
and please, travel!

Why do people walk away
Am I so easy to leave
Despite the effort and the love
Too often, I grieve
Do I do the same to others
Have I done so in the past
Is it just life’s complications
Causing good things not to last
Perhaps, there’s no awareness
Communication nowhere found
That’s caused this dark blue feeling
I keep losing so much ground
Insecurities take over
Not knowing where I stand
I know that I need people
Like the beach needs the sand

If we just let go...
If we just let go
To not live in fear
To just go with the flow
I think the world may just be a better place
The world may... just turn out allright
Where peace could live and love could embrace.
If the soul is so dark that not even a sprinkle of white
Paint could cover it
What has become of our species...?
We cant just go with the flow
Sometimes it can be poisonous
We cant live fearless when danger is all around us .
Everybody is doing something for selfies reasons
The world might never be a better place
The world might never turn out to be allright
We can choos...
We can choose in which direction we want to go!

Gentle on My Mind
You play along the edges,
of every memory worth having.
You have been there since,
I care to look back.
I was stupid,
fearful,
distrustful,
and dangerous.
You… ever were patient,
kind, and slow to anger,
walking a measured gait.
Cowboy,
You speak in a voice,
that melts my heart.
but your real words,
more often are unvoiced,
but always felt,
tangibly… changing
the fixed temperament
left behind,
in the wake of users,
defilers of dreams.
You make me look up at the stars.
You make me find new paths…
You are a cold drink,
to my parched journey.
Now I no longer…
walk alone.

BIO MODIFIED - SOUTHERN GENTLEMAN
Southern
Being courteous, sentimental, compassionate, helpful to others
I love Jesus, Southern Gospel Music, and Family
It is my plan to buy a new car, travel, and be on my own
Blessed to feel content, at peace, and filled with joy
My fear is not being ambulatory, losing my eyesight and being bedridden
Meet President Trump, restore late model cars, and sing bass in a gospel quartet
I am a resident of the great State of Georgia, one of the original 13 colonies

How America has changed
(First Sunday in Austin, Texas, 1955)
I go to church
Ten minutes early
To meditate and pray
I hear an organ playing
“In Christ there is no east no west
In Him no south no north
One great family bound by love
Throughout whole wide earth’
I open my eyes
I look front and back
All pews are filling up
I look to my right
I look to my left
No one comes
Sits in my pew
What’s happening?
I wonder
Do I smell?
I look around again
No blacks
No browns
But all whites
Except me
BUT TODAY
You know the answers
All I can say is
I am grateful to be an American

through the duration of time to think sublime
heroes are made through like hellos
the wrestling with the window
one to embark on its solstace
throughout the duration of time so fine
with love to climb upon
long lines formed in desolation
burst inside with appreciation
live long & prosper
keep your mind in heavenlies
illusively through a dream
meadows are plain in view
horizons of beautiful personifications
each door we close there's always one opened
search your heart to help impart the meaning
believe in hope
so far to cope
down to your last thin rope
love has hope we can share
let's look above to the heavenly love
sare with others a brand new you

The heart of
my ancestors
beat not,
but their love does,
all in one accord,
our drums beat
for them,
and our love
always
once again,
beats our heart,
we are united,
warrior and peace pipe,
in
the light of the sun.

My love
Beguiled me,with
Soft sensuous lips,sleek
Long thighs with rounded hips,twinned heart's
Enlaced
with
Eyes closed
As lips caressed,
Mouths joined,impassioned
Tongues explore,in our love's embrace,
Time-framed
in
The warmth
Of love's invite
Encompassed my desire,
In two soft whispered words of love,
Be mine !

america, love,
We love it, we laud it, we honor its name.
We want to protect it, this country of ours.
Our forefathers bought it with blood, sweat and tears.
They left it with words we must never forget.
Simple men served it and saved it for us,
And folks for its honor are willing to die.
They've come in great numbers from all of the world,
To states melded together, one nation to be.
Her skirts are voluminous, lengthy her reach.
She's gathered us here in harmonious way.
Our love gives her riches and wealth ever more,
Filling her corners, West, East, North and South.
As we teach our children of her worth and beauty,
America must always be loved by us all.

Covid 19 what can it mean....
sweeping the World with a vengeance it seems...
A call to love one another caused by extremes....
Will we all come together to answer the Call...
bypassing deep divisions among us all...
refusing to let one another fall...
The Truth of the people is now what we see...
I care for you and you care for me
revealing the only division came from the media on TV....
We are deeply United in answering the Call
putting our trust in the God that created us all
refusing to again listen to the divisive that want us all to Fall!!!

Destruction and obstruction.
Cities burn, run by herds!
Anarchy, you see,
Is no mirror of democracy!
Businesses destroyed.
Free running shoes, girls and boys?
Patriots simply do not steal.
They love this land, with utmose zeal!
Have faith, have enormous hope.
Mature Americans are not dopes!

If I spit at you
Wouldn't you smile at me
If I swung a bat at you
Wouldn't you give me a big hug
If I trashed your store
Wouldn't you want to hire me
If I hurled epithets at you
Wouldn't you vote for me
If my folks and I'd been doing this for 65 years
Wouldn't you want to live next door to me
Huh? You say you wouldn't?
WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU, MAN?

You are so beautiful with a voice so sweet
You are invincible when they keep being so mean
Your battles are frightening, but your smile's a diamond
You are incredible for being able to fight them
An oxymoron in love with everyone but yourself
A free slave to humanity, a priceless pearl in your shell
Your heart bends but still unbreakable, your waist slender, your lips tasteful
You soul tender but unshakeable, don't let the men be so ungrateful
miss America, you're beautiful
miss Universe, international
traveled, experienced, far from elementary
in vino veritas, you sing the truth so eloquently

Many years ago as we've been told
Pilgrims landed on America shores
Remembered for their gifts of love
Shared with natives living there
Surviving those long winter months
Who would have thought
Their kindness would cross the seas
To our small Bahama Land!
We celebrate Thanksgiving
With turkey and pumpkin pie to!
It is a time to give God thanks
For richly blessing our Bahama Land!
The adoption of this tradition
Inspires us to reach out to those in need
And draw closer to our divine purpose
To be sincerely thankful for all God has done!
