For me, the big chore is always the same: how to begin a sentence, how to continue it, how to complete it.

God The Mother
I begin to see God as Mother
as the one who holds me to Her breast
as the one who nurtures
as the one in whose arms
l may lie
with complete surrender
with complete trust

Another Day
What seems like such a winter's tale
Lightening runs through the fallen flames
By kneeling down we're here to pray
At that point forsaken unafraid
I only wanna feel you being strong
I only wanna feel you being strong
Call me up and let's begin
Call me up and let's begin
Another day
Call me up and let's begin
Call me up and let's begin
You done that to me
Feel my breath go cold and calm
My pride is last and I sin again
And all the seasons change their scent
A year of hell they come against my head once more
I only wanna feel you being strong
I only wanna feel you being strong
Call me up and let's begin
Call me up and let's begin
Another day
Call me up and let's begin
Call me up and let's begin
You done that to me
INSTRUMENTAL
Call me up and let's begin
Call me up and let's begin
Another day
Call me up and let's begin
Call me up and let's begin
You done that to me
Call me up and let's begin
Call me up and let's begin
Another day
Call me up and let's begin
Call me up and let's begin
You done that to me
Call me up and let's begin
Call me up and let's begin
Another day
Call me up and let's begin
Call me up and let's begin
You done that to me

The Collective.
Walk in the factory door,
Daily eight hour necessary‘chore'.
The‘bore'is about to begin,
Starting by‘swiping'in.
Get your hypo-spray,
Only‘think'the company way,
Another week another day.
Forty hours, for your‘fake'pay.!
No individual, only collective thought,
Your labour sold and bought.

Whoever Attempts to Diminish This Image
I continue to polish my gift,
God has given.
Be it copper, brass or gold...
It reflects a heart that is genuine.
Encased within me.
With an obedient soul my Master holds.
And whoever attempts to diminish this image...
May begin but will not complete that task.
It was not given to disregard or discard to disrespect.
This is not accepted.
Anything less is subject to my protest.
A rejection at best comes!
Think what you will...
But my pride you can not kill,
Or fulfill your will to impose your insecurities.
Not on me.
I am not here to provide you with that kind of attention!
Nor are my desires a repetition of yours.
Nothing on my path reflects you!

Papa's Birthday Today
he was a day short for the day of the hearts
but he loved so well and gave himself all for mama
some fights may be on the usual domestic chore
but no physical abuse that was what i saw, the real score
born on the 13th, he lacked a day more
to complete the whole heart's picture
he died with a broken heart and he once broke many hearts too
but that that was long time ago

The risk of racial prejudice infecting a capital sentencing proceeding is especially serious in light of the complete finality of the death sentence.

And I don't want to begin something, I don't want to write that first sentence until all the important connections in the novel are known to me. As if the story has already taken place, and it's my responsibility to put it in the right order to tell it to you.

Love Is A Crime
Oooh Yeah
Chicago
If love is a crime baby
I'd do my time
Whether it's wrong or right
You can sentence me to life
If love is a crime baby
I'd do my time
Whether it's wrong or right
You can sentence me
Sentence me to life
Some might say I'm guilty of loving the first degree
If the jury wants to lock me up and throw away the key
There's no greater punishment than what I face inside
Won't tamper with the evidence cause there's nothing to hide
(He lives inside my heart)
(I'm in the middle too)
I'm in the middle too
(You never had a clue)
Unless you felt it too
(If love is a crime) baby
I'd do my time
(Whether it's wrong or right)
(You can) sentence me
Sentence me to life
(If love is a crime) baby
I'd do my time
(Whether it's wrong or right)
You can sentence me
Sentence me to life
Better tell the truth, just let me plead my case
The thief who stole my heart from me I couldn't let escape
He's my only alibi, but I won't drop a dime
So how can I give up to you, my partner in crime
(He lives inside) my heart
(I'm in the middle too)
Ooh yeah yeah
(You never had a clue)
Unless you felt it too
(If love is a crime) baby
I'd do my time
Whether it's wrong or right
You can sentence me
Sentence me to life
(If love is a crime) baby
I'd do my time
Whether it's wrong or right
You can sentence me
(Sentence me to life)
You can take away my freedom
But you can't take my love from me
I won't die a lonely prisoner
'Cause my heart will set me free
Oooh ooh yeah
Whooh!

Mother's Continue...
Through eternity Mother's continue......
her mother bare her
and mother's continue.....
WE all started out as some mother's baby boy or girl, except for Adam & Eve
mother's continue Adam & Even were created fully grown, that means God
was mother to them.
Mother's continue
babies are still being conceived
Mother's continue.......
Hey Mom I know you've been wounded by life
before
I know you've cried, worried and needed someone to hold you up, pray for you, you will continue....
I thought when you I saw you take you're last breathe Friday July 13,2007 I
would go too, you leaving was hard for me.

(Scams Poem) A Gift I Shall Not Be Claiming
Now why would I give you any personal information?
You could continue to make up these fairy tales all you want..
And if you want to call it business proposal to sound more official feel free.
But still you will fail in both getting my entire and complete identity or my money.
And trust me when I say I don't have much.
Definitely below poverty level.
I only made 11000 dollars last year.
Yet you continue harassing me why?
What is gained from your consistent persistence.
I will not change my mind not in this life or the next.
So good luck, and god bless.

The Dance! ! ! !
THE DANCE ! ! ! ! ! 1
IF IT CAN ONLY BE EXPRESSED, FOR THIS THERE ARE NO WORDS!
BUT HOW THEY LOVED TO SKIP AND DANCE,
AS ALWAYS, IT WAS FUN TO TAKE A CHANCE!
TO SKIP AND DANCE, SO EXCITING AND DANEROUS IT IS TO TAKE THE CHANCE!
TO LET THE LADLE, TEAPOT, AND BEAUTIFUL SABLE SKIP HAND AND HAND,
ROUND AND ROUND ON THE FORBIDDEN TABLE!
BUT THE DANCE WOULD NOT BE COMPLETE, THE SPELL WOULD NOT BE COMPLETE.
IF THEY COULD NOT GET THE DRAGON TO DANCE WITH THEM.
TO DO THIS, THERE NEED BE VERY, VERY SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCE,
TO GET THE DRAGON TO DANCE,
TO ONCE AGAIN DANCE AND RAISE IT’S FIREY LANCE!
BUT THEN SUDDENLY THE “SPOONS AND FORKS”WOULD SHOUT OUT,
YOUS’ MUST STOP, YOUS’ MUSTIN’T-DANCE ALL ABOUT,
YOUS’ MUSTIN’T SHOUT AND SING ABOUT,
AGAIN AND AGAIN THE “SPOONS AND FORKS”WOULD YELL AND YELL,
IF YOURS CONTINUE IN THIS MANNOR,
YOU’LL ALL GO TO HELL, YOU’LL ALL GO YO HELL!
AND THE DANCERS YELLED BACK,
WE WILL STOP NOT, STOP NOT,
FOR WE ARE THE WICKER AND THIS IS OUR DANCE,
FOR WE WERE GIVIEN ANOTHER CHANCE!
OUR MASTER WILL ONCE AGAIN RAISE THE DRAGON AND IT’S FIREY LANCE,
ONLY HE KNOWS THE WAY OF WICKER AND THE DANCE!
HE CATERS TO DISASTER,
FOR HE IS OUR MASTER!
THE DOOR BUSTS OPEN,
AND THE DRAGON MAKES IT’S ADVANCE,
AND HE SHOUTS AND SHOUTS,
GIVE ME, GIVE ME MY LANCE,
NOW LET US BEGIN, LET US BEGIN AGAIN THE SPELL AND THE DANCE,
FOR THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Concise is the Plan
Concise is the sentence that is embedded in jokes,
A fire has been written from the heart, and your jokes
Are worth nothing. Their fire has been extinguished, already.
The writing on the wall has a funny effect,
Someone has feeling for the art of definition.
We complete the gesture of music in pictorial form.
Thus we are complete, as people of belief.
Crazy boys and girls have the opportunity to learn
Of art and music. Their roles are not different;
They are the same.
Fencing with words has new power of living,
But hitting with the fist of fire has been tragedy.
Concepts of life are mastered by the tragic aspects.
Were we ever-willing to contrive a potion of right?

Heaps And Heaps Of Leaves Under The Trees One Early Morning
ahh
I see. Too many words
sentence upon sentence
i become less and less
of what i am.
Look up the hill
a tree as bald as the leaves
that the winds had taken.
It is dead.

To Find My Family
To find my family, is no more
I found my family that is to adore
I feel as if i'm complete
Isn't life just so sweet
To find my family is no more
I feel as if I could soar.
To find my family was a dream
Now my family flows down the stream
To find family, is no more
I've completed my family tree chore.
