If it is too good to be true....it is probably a fraud.

Too Good To Be True
Her imagination ran wild
Could this really happen to me?
She could barely hold back the tears
It was too good to be true
It was too good to be true
It was too good to be true
Everything that shed waited for
Everything that shed dared to dream
Suddenly was outside her door
It was too good to be true
It was too good to be true
It was too good to be true
There was no talk of giving in
And just as hope was wearing thin
Her eyes were like a child again
Too good to be true
Morning on the outskirts of town
Sitting in the traffic alone
You dont know what it means to be free
It was too good to be true

A Toad With a Lisp?
You know what a fraud is?
'A frog? '
No!
A FRAUD.
'A toad with a lisp?
Man,
I don't know.
It's been a while,
Since I've visited this neighborhood.
Why...
You've got one in the house or something? '
I've begun to wonder,
Why I brought the subject up.
'Why don't you kill it.
You want me to kill it for you? '
No...
I'm cool.
But I have been given a lot of insight into you.
You are really quite innocent.
'You are not trying to approach me...
Are you?
'Cause you know I aint into that! '
You have no idea how grateful I am.
'Cool.
So...
You want me to help you catch the 'fraud? '
No!
My bad.
It was a mistaken identity.
'You still smoking that weed,
Huh? '

Robbed by Death—but that was easy
971
Robbed by Death—but that was easy—
To the failing Eye
I could hold the latest Glowing—
Robbed by Liberty
For Her Jugular Defences—
This, too, I endured—
Hint of Glory—it afforded—
For the Brave Beloved—
Fraud of Distance—Fraud of Danger,
Fraud of Death—to bear—
It is Bounty—to Suspense's
Vague Calamity—
Stalking our entire Possession
On a Hair's result—
Then—seesawing—coolly—on it—
Trying if it split—

Money Ain’t God
Money is not God,
Albeit good health and great wealth
Will put a commoner in the position to afford
The most luxurious amenities on earth.
God is wealth;
Good health
Is the richest gift
That can be bestowed on a chief.
Money is like a gaud;
It is a fraud
To think that money is God.
A King or a Queen, without good health,
Is sinking at the bottom;
He or she is dead, indeed worthless.
A penniless pauper, with great health,
Is wealthier than one can fathom;
He or she is darn blessed.
God is wealth;
God is health;
Money ain’t God;
Money ain’t God.
Good health and great wealth
Are like divine gifts;
Adding a little wisdom and a good heart,
Such combo will put a cherub on a celestial lift,
Where life is wonderful and set apart.
God is wealth;
Good health
Is the richest gift
That can be bestowed on a chief.
Money is like a gaud,
It is a fraud
To think that money is God.

Thats Good
Everybody its a good thing
Everybody wants a good thing
Everybody aint it true that
Everybodys looking for the same thing
Aint it true theres just no doubt
Theres some things that you cant do without
And thats good
Aint it true as the sun that shines
You got yours and you got mine
And thats good
Everybodys just like you its true
Everybody wants a good thing too
Now lets have a great big hand
For everybody who can understand
Lifes a bee without a buzz
Its going great till you get stung
And let us not forget to toast
Everyone who might have missed the boat
And to everybody else who waits
Until the next one sails in again
Everybody its a good thing
Aint it true its a monumental good thing

Good People
How true in all time, good people can’t see
How true and sublime, their good could just be
How true in life’s grime, good people agree
How true with their chime, they sing of happy
This thank you decrees, to holding the keys
Of thanking with pleas, to hug good with ease
Good people make haste, to help and befriend
Good people are placed, with help that they lend
Good people won’t waste, the love that they tend
Good people are faced, with love to defend
This thank you extends, where it knows no ends
Of thanking my friends, where help and love blends

This Constitutes Fraud
Organizations based in inner city communities,
That are overwhelmingly those of color.
And those same organizations solicit funds,
Stating they provide activities and training...
That does not get done for everyone,
But 'some'.
And those funds are used for other purposes,
Surburbanites are hired to inspire...
Those 'urbanites' of color,
With their point of view.
As if they are suppose to!
And doing this not to train or motivate...
But to employ the chosen few!
Themselves!
That is what they do.
And to instill their ideologies.
This constitutes fraud!
And that is not only my point of view.
That is what they do!
And those living in inner cities,
Not benefitting from activities claimed.
Deserve much more than apologies.
They deserve to be praised...
Not shamed.
For raising such deceit on their backs!
Or at least identify,
Those organizations by name!
And their lack of supportive deeds,
That continue such bleeding and succeed.
'What constitutes fraud? '
Mental manipulation!
That constitutes fraud.
To deprive those in need,
By keeping the rich...
Although quite flawed,
In a state of awe and greed.
And organized to keep the needy teased.
'What constitutes fraud? '
Organizations set up like these.

Good Friend
I used to think that you were someone else
Then I'd loose my mind each day
I used to think that I could help myself
But its true
what they say
There is no reason without a way
This is
Good Bye to you and Me
what a good friend you've been to me
and I owe it all to you
every good thing that I do is you
I used to wish that I was someone else
then I'd dream away the day
those dreams have made me into someone new
and its true what they say
there is no better time than today
if this is
Good Bye to you and Me
what a good friend you've been to me
and I owe it all to you
every good thing that I do is you
I am here
I need to say
that I will miss you
everyday
and its true what they say
there is no better time than today
if this is
Good Bye to you and Me
what a good friend you've been to me
if this is
Good Bye to you and Me
well what good friends we will always be
and I owe it all to you
every good thing that I do is you [x2]
its you
Every good thing that I do is you
its you
every good thing that I do
well I owe it all to you
every good thing that I do is

The true the good and the beautiful
They go together
& so even if you are good but not true
then you are not beautiful,
and even if you are beautiful
but you are not true then you are not good
or even if you are true but then you are not good
then you are not beautiful
always remember that
they always go together so for you to be beautiful
and really beautiful
you must be also good and you must be always true,
this is the goodness of truth and its beauty
that all depends on you, now i can go, so please be
the true, the good and the beautiful

We know that if gold, if fraud, if force can defeat us, they will all be used. And we have resolved that they shall not defeat us. We shall arm. We shall meet fraud and falsehood with defiance, and force with force, if need be.

Snakes Praised In Shaky Places
There is nothing like witnessing,
The acts of fraud exposed for what they are.
And those behind it,
Losing credibility.
Especially if these 'creatures',
Had a tendency to leech...
Successfully,
From someone else's abilities.
And that had been discreetly deceived.
There is nothing like witnessing,
The exposure of these acts of fraud!
But unfortunately,
Those once leeched upon...
Have taken their expertise,
Away from snakes praised in shaky places...
Where lies and corrupted minds thrive!

His Sermon
at the pulpit
he keeps reciting the three attributes of God
that God is true
that God is beautiful
that God is good
no one disagrees on this
soliloquy
have i really felt this?
some questions keep on propping
inside my mind
in the middle of this crowd
and uniformity
is something true always good?
will good be always beautiful?
what about the bitterness of the true life?
what about the ugliness of the desired good?
shall a good feeling be not wrong sometimes?
the bitter herbs of life has good teachings too.
the badness of failures make us strong and vigilant.
and so on and so forth...
and then it is time to leave, sometimes an end is good.
like life, like death
like the beauty of a fading sunset
like the cover of the darkness
like the coming of dusk
like the birth of a new day...

True freinds
A true friend will hug you
A true friend will kick you in the ass
A true friend will wipe your tears
A true friend will create them
A true friend will make you feel good
A true friend will make you hurt
A true friend will listen
A true friend will answer
A true friend will come often
A true friend will come less often
A true friend will not stab you in the back
then pull the knife out and ask for forgiveness
A true friend will always be true
and ask nothing of you but freindship
Its not the party that matters
its not the food that matters
its not the vacations
its not the valubles
its the people your with
and when thats fully relized
true freindship has been achived

I'll Do Anything
I'll do anything 2 have U like me
I'll do double 2 have your love
I'll move mountains 2 make U happy
Mountains, oh yes, because
What good is a me if it ain't got a U?
What good is dream if it don't come true?
I'll do any, anything
Anything I'll do, ooh
I'll fall off the Eiffel Tower if only 4 applause
I'll wrestle with a tiger and suffer every claw
I'll paint a beard on the Mona Lisa even though its my favorite jaw
I'll do anything, anything because
What good is a captain if he ain't got a crew?
What good is a room if it ain't got a view?
I'll do any, anything
Anything I'll do
Wait a minute
Wait a minute..
There's a good reason why I'd do anything, baby
And that reason is U
Check this out..
What good is a car if it ain't got no gas?
What good is a future if it ain't got no past?
What good is a one if it ain't got another one 2 make it 2?
What good is a me, baby, if it ain't got a U?
What good is a dream if it don't come true
And what if I live 4 your love?
Be justa strollin' through
I'll do any, anything
Anything 4 U, it's true
I'll do anything, baby
Anything 4 U
I'll do any, anything
Anything I'll do, ooh ooh
I'll do any, anything
Anything I'll do, ooh ooh

True Love
True love passes all understandings.
True love expresses loyalty.
True love hurts but can learn how to mend.
True love dreams the highest dreams.
True love waits until the stars visit the day.
True love seeks good for the other.
True love lends forgiveness.
True love cries but washes away the pains.
True love makes an ignorant boy a mature man.
True love softens the heart of a girl to a nurtured woman.
True love never lies.
True love loves a person until forever.
True love sees love even though the hair is white.
And most of all.TRUE LOVE never breaks promises,
