For Heaven Sake
For Heaven Sake
Written by: Wilfred Mellers, Wednesday, January 5,2011@6: 05 PM
Sometimes I sit back and I ponder
For those who don’t understand, it is that I wonder
Is it really worth it all?
For on the father I now call
Why can’t I make you understand?
I am so tired of being your kickstand
At this rate we shall disband
Our ship sails now unmanned
All I do is for you and you give me so much grief
From this type of stress I need some relief
In me you never ever had any belief
So go ahead and be the chief
The constant badgering seems to be a Motif
You treat me like your personal handkerchief
After every conversation you I must debrief
Floating now in the wind like a Greenleaf
I am tired of everything you must inspect
For me you’ve lost all respect
From me what do you really expect?
I am always the criminal and the first suspect
Your woes and worries on me you project
I am neither a clown nor I a reject
I am just a man and I'm far from perfect
When I am gone take some time to reflect
The things you do will follow you
Insanity, profanity, you’ve got not a clue
Jealousy is the pot of stew that you brew
Respect of my consciousness is long overdue
Sometimes I sit and wonder about it all
So quick the mighty shall always fall
So big but yet so puny and small
Before you walk you must learn to crawl
Humble yourself for I have done you no wrong
Disagreements you like to prolong
So weak from once so strong
It seems like you and I wont ever get along

R.e.s.p.e.c.t
It's hard to tell them when what's true,
'Cause deep inside you know they’ll judge you,
Put you down and even condemn you,
They perfectly don't know what you feel,
But still, they don't want to understand what’s real,
'Cause for them you're just the dirt in their hands,
They won't open their hearts and accept you,
But they'll slam the door and push you away,
Tell you you're nothing and stab you with the hurtful word they say.
No one is perfect as many people would say,
But in their eyes, they feel perfect and they won't listen to a word you say,
Respect is a broad word to understand not by mind but by our hearts and soul,
It's confusing to know what respect really means,
'Cause respect couldn’t be seen,
People are people and yes we make mistakes,
We try to be perfect but still, there are rules that we break,
The test of time will measure who we really are with every brave soul that sticks to the word respect and practice it,
Is a ghost of reality that haunts everyone to change what they are today,
Change the things that are wrong and learn to give way.
Good people often get hit by intrigues all the time,
But it doesn't mean revenge should come on the line,
'Cause if only people would learn to give respect to live and if we learn to give respect we'll all be happy,
And we'll never see someone crying or planning revenge to somebody,
Let's RESPECT everybody, treat them as a family.

Ode To Somrit Mellers
Written by: Wilfred Mellers, Wednesday, February 16,2011 @ 11: 12 AM
My feelings for you are endless
I bear my soul to you in its bareness
Words cannot ever mention
in your arms I find redemption
We are the perfect duet
I thank god the day we met
Over you I am obsessing
You are truly a magnificent blessing
A love so amazingly real
You have that certain sex appeal
There is no better way to spend my days
I cherish you now, here forth, and always
If I was granted only one wish
I would make all your pains vanish
A world without you I want no part
To you I have given my very heart
Even though we are at a distance
You remain my sole existence

Respect
For reasons I dont know I treated you so cold
I wish I had those times again
Cause something that you said keeps ringing in my head
Someday youre gonna wanna come back and youre gonna wanna treat me fine
Everybody needs a little respect
Everybody needs a little time
Everybody needs a little respect
Everybody needs a little
I watched me push you down in dreams I had of you
And all I remember about those days is I would run around thinking that youd be alright
But you lost your light along the way
And oh you were right about the things Id say
Cause if I had it back again I know Id treat you kind
Everybody needs a little respect
Everybody needs a little time
Everybody needs a little respect
Everybody needs a little time
Everybody got to have somebody
Everybody got to have someone
And all I ever wanted from this play
Was someone to talk to when I get down
It seems you get the things you give along the way
Now all I need is one more chance to make you feel like hanging round
Everybody needs a little
Everybody needs a little
Everybody needs a little respect
Everybody needs a little time
Everybody needs a little respect
Everybody needs a little time
Everybody
Everybody got to have someone

Anger, Hatred, And Violence
Anger, Hatred, Violence
Written by Wilfred Mellers
Castaway on foreign shores and we know not how to solve them
Chastised the golden child the so-called source of your problems
What of we done so wrong to make you so upset
What of we done so wrong that you cannot seem to forget
Anger, hatred, violence
You’ll go down in silence
Try and try as hard as you can
But you cannot win
Analyze, criticize, and compromised
Is what you’ll find yourself in
Bound, changed, and shackled
This is how we’re living
Victimized by brutality at the rise of your society
Bound, changed, and captive
This is what you call humanity
Some may rise and some may fall
What’s the sense of it all
Closer we creep we downtrodden ones
We answer to his call
Standing alone in a crowd
To be heard I have to shout
Victimized by the system
There’s just no way out
Sacrifice your self-respect and you’ll have no life at all
Mankind you’ll never know yourself till your back is against the wall
“Marcus Garvey said”

Do What You Like
Dont tell me what you cant do
Never had a hold on you
And dont tell me where youd rather be
Just say the word, Ill set you free
You wont believe what you wont see
The only one youll lose is me
Dont tell me what you cant do, oh no
Give a little, I need a lot
You never think about what weve got
Maybe our breakup is long overdue
If its over me, its up to you
Dont make it harder than you need to
Youre old enough to hear the truth
Dont tell me what you cant do
Id do anything to make you stay
Id be a fool to let you get away
They say true love never runs smooth
But when its gone, what can you do?
You wont believe what you wont see
The only one youll lose is me
Do what you like, you know that you can, mmm
Dont let her go!
Maybe I should let her know
Ill try to be strong
But its wrong!
Im gonna have to let her go
If you walk out on me
Id be lonely as a man could be
You wont believe what you wont see
The only one youll lose is me
Do what you like, you know that you can
But girl, if youre wrong, please understand
Do what you like, you know that you can
But girl, if youre wrong, please understand
Do what you like, you know that you can
Dont tell me what you cant do
But girl, if youre wrong, please understand
Never had a hold on you
Tell me you like, you know that you can
And dont tell me where youd rather be
But girl, if youre wrong, please understand
Just say the word, Ill set you free
You wont believe what you wont see
The only one youll lose is me
Girl, youre losing me
Youre losing me
Just do what you like
Do what you like, girl
Walk out of me, walk out of me
Girl you walk out of me
Say the word, Ill set you free
You wont believe what you wont see
The only one youll lose is me

So Tired
Well, Ive been on the road
For a year or more
And Ive done a lot of things
I never did before
Now I want everyone
To listen to my song
And you can tell me
When youve heard it
If you think Im wrong
cause Im so tired
Of everybody staring at me
Yes, Im so tired
And Im so uninspired
Please help me
Well Ive seen em rise
And Ive seen em fall
And I use to think that
I was having a ball
But I was kiddin myself
For a long long time
But now I got myself a spoon
And Im feeling fine
But Im so tired
Of everybody staring at me
Yes, Im so tired
And Im so uninspired
Wont you please help me
Where can you go
Where can you go
When there is no one
To show a guiding light
What did you say
What did you say
Have you been thinking about me
Day and night
cause Im so tired
Of everybody staring at me
And Im so, so tired
Im so uninspired
Please help me
Wont you please me ...

Respect To It
Respect to it has more than a one sided way
Do not expect the respect of others if respect to them you don't pay
You treat other people as you'd like them to treat you
And in turn they will give you the respect you are due
You may be the wealthiest and most powerful person in your town
And you feel that you have the right for to put others down
And others respect you or so to you it does appear
But between feigned and true respect the difference is quite clear
Despotic leaders believe the masses them do revere
But this sort of feigned adulation is adulation through fear
To protest in such circumstance they'd be risking their own lives
And the lives of their children as well as their wives
If you do not respect then respect do not expect to receive
Just a known fact of life that one ought to believe.

Sheepish The Lion
The Sheepish Lion
Written by: Wilfred Mellers, Sunday, January 9,2011, @6: 59 PM
It’s a dirty rotten shame
Chance never given to play the game
Not even a farthing left to my name
Now who is really to blame?
No one so back from where I came
Sought out fortune and fame
Everything remains the same
The pauper I became
The waters now inflame
The wild lion now tame
Fires now enflame
Onetime associates now disclaim
Friends now I rename
Diligently they took aim
For my name they now defame
O so true for they are so lame
On mountains high I shall exclaim
The greatness of god I proclaim
Great is the meaning of my surname
Slender is my frame
My self-worth I now reclaim
For the world I now set aflame
No longer a laptop but a mainframe
My exploits the media wont ever acclaim

Sick & Tired
I feel it, there's tension inside of me
Pressure is presently pushing down on me
The first time it starts with just you and I'm
Repeating myself but you don't hear me
I can see what you see
But is it worth it to me?
The same old conversation
Over and over and over
I'm just sick and tired
Of all those lies you tell me
You say those same things to me
Over and over and over
It's safe to say you're surprised
I see right through you this time
But I keep telling you
It's over, it's over, it's over
You've taken these things that belong to me
Twisted so tightly and torn so carefully
The last time it ends with just you and I
Alone in a room with these torn bed sheets
I can see what you see
And it ain't worth it to me
The same old conversation
Over and over and over
I'm just sick and tired
Of all those lies you tell me
You say those same things to me
Over and over and over
It's safe to say you're surprised
I see right through you this time
But I keep telling you
It's over, it's over, it's over
You swore that I'd regret it
Now thanks to you I can't forget it
Cost of this constant battle
Won't even miss you at all
Free from those lies that you call...
I'm just sick and tired
Of all those lies you tell me
You say those same things to me
Over and over and over
It's safe to say you're surprised
I see right through you this time
But I keep telling you
It's over, it's over, It's over
I'm just sick and tired
Of all those lies you tell me
You say those same things to me
Over and over and over
It's safe to say you're surprised
I see right through you this time
But I keep telling you
It's over, it's over, It's over

Velocity
Tell me something that I dont already know
Tell me how you play to change the world
Im tired of people trying to tell me what is right
Im tired of people trying to pull me down
I know that you might never understand the way I feel
I made a promise to myself that I would never let it show
Nver look down
Never look down
Just keep my focus straight ahead
And try to walk this line
Tell me all about your favorite human being
Tell me everything about yourself
God, the story is so terribly interesting
I wonder whats so good about myself
I know that you might never understand the way I feel
I made a promise to myself that I would never let it show
Never look down
Never look down
Just keep my focus straight ahead
And try to walk this line
So let me take a good look at your perfect life
So I know just exactly how I dont want mine
Everyday I see these
Same four walls that keep me here
And I want to change the things that hurt
I want to end this constant fear

Respect You Don't Deserve
Why do you
Treat me like
I'm a stupid kid,
Just because I don't
Give you all the
Resepect
You think you deserve.
I'm sorry that you're
Not All-Important.
Actually I'm not sorry.
You treat me without
Respect
So why should I give you
Respect?
I would follow your
Rules
If you said them
Politely.
But since you don't
I don't really want
To follow them.
You're confining us
With your stupid rules.
Just give me some
Space.
Here are my rules:
Give me space and I'll listen.
Treat me with respect amd I'll do the same.
Treat me like an adult and I'll treat you like a teacher.
Don't patronize me and I won't patronize you.
I want to learn
But you're not letting me.

Go Ahead On
(madeline bell / dusty springfield)
If youre gonna break my heart
Go ahead on
Guess you think youre kinda smart
Go ahead on
(well youve got another girl)
And youre having fun
(got her head in a whirl)
See what youve done
Go ahead on
(go ahead on)
I said go ahead on
(go ahead on)
You never call me on the phone
Make me so sad
Sittin all alone
Feelin bad
(tired of being your fool)
cause you told me lies
(I cant take no more)
Of no alibi
Go ahead on
(go ahead on)
Go ahead on
(go ahead on)
For a little while
We had a good thing goin
Everything was peaches and cream
But the devil in you started showin
Do you understand now
What I mean?
You put me down
Every night
If you wanna be a clown
Thats all right
(when its all too late)
Then youll see
(shes done the same to you)
Like you did it to me
Go ahead on
(go ahead on)
Go ahead on
(go ahead on)
You put me down
Every night
If you wanna be a clown
Thats all right
(when its all too late)
Baby youll see
(shes done the same to you)
Like you did it to me
Go ahead on
(go ahead on)
Go ahead on
(go ahead on)
Git, git, git
(go ahead on)
Go ahead on

Youd better pack your bag
(go ahead on)
Go ahead on
(go ahead on)
Bye, bye, bye
(go ahead on)

You're Not Me
You think I've got it all
You think I've got it made well
How come my only friends are the ones I pay?
No one understands
What I would do to change my life for just one day
Don't say if I were you (say if I were you)
Or tell me what you'd do
Or things would be if
You were in my shoes
Cuz you're not me
You know what I need
And it's not another serenade
I get so tired of all the things you say
So give me what I want
if you only would
I'd gladly throw this all away
Don't say if I were you (say if I were you)
Or tell me what you'd do
Or things would be if
You were in my shoes (cuz you're not me)
Please take me as I am (take me as I am)
This isn't what I planned
But I don't expect that
You can understand
Cuz you're not me
I know you think you're bein' nice
But spare me all your lame advice
Time to play my hand and role the dice
Everybody's got their price
For far to long I've been denied
I'm makin' my move so just step aside
No one can say I never tried
To do everything to get back my pride
Hey, you were never me
Why can't you see
That you're not me (me, me, me, me, me, me, me)
Don't say if I were you (say if I were you)
Or tell me what you'd do (tell me what you'd do)
Or how things would be if
You were in my shoes (cuz you're not me)
Please help me if you can (help me if you can)
This isn't what I planned (this isn't what I planned)
But I don't expect that
You can understand
Cuz you're not me

Some Just Don't Have A Clue
Some Just Don't Have A Clue
Written by: Wilfred Charles Mellers, Saturday, February 25,2012,8: 44 PM
Some can't face it so they fight it
Some can't get over it so they get under it
Some can't stand in front of it so they stand behind it
Some can't stand next to it so they have to stand obliquely by it
Some can't understand it so they dismiss it
Some can't feel it so they can't vibe to it
Some want it but just can't have it
Some have it but just don't want it
Some are in disbelief so they are frighten by it
Some are in amazement and want to be a part of it
Some are captivated and embrace it
Some get high by it yet not understand the message of it
Some are freed by it for their mind has been enslaved
Some can empathize with its movements
Some are disillusioned and find redemption in it
Some find a greater understanding by it
Some try it and find they like it
Some hate it for they didn't create it
Some mimic it but can't feel it
Some worship it and then curse it
Some have to nurse it
Some have to rehearse it
Some are spoiled by it
Some take advantage of it
Some jumped on the bandwagon on it
Some fall off the wagon on it
Some just can't play the game of it
Some abandon it after reaching the fame of it
Some find hope in it
Some find joy in it
Some find love in it
Some find their dance in it
Some want to tune in and tune out by it
Some find their religion in it
Some find peace in it
Some find what they have been looking for in it
Some find themselves
Some lose themselves
Some regain themselves
Some just don't have a clue

While You're Here Enjoy
While You’re Here Enjoy
Written by: Wilfred Mellers, Friday, May 28,2010 @ 11: 25 AM
Endurance people stand up or nobody will care
Support brethren for your time is near
Stay focus and be positive
Stay strong and learn to forgive
Don’t end up at the bunt of a knife
Don’t folly for it will end your life
Always remember that you’re a Queen or King
Stay righteous in each and everything
Don’t always take do learn how to give
Make this world a better place for us all to live
Not every tale will be conclusive
Make love your only ulterior motive
Respect your elders and your better half too
Love yourself and others can learn to love you
Never end up as somebody’s mule
Stay in school and be nobody’s fool
Life can be so very cruel
So to the fire don’t add more fuel
Don’t waste you life on a barstool
Pull up your pants and stop trying to be cool
Be noble and remember where you’re from
Be kind to others and respect your dad and mom
Remember to always stay calm
Each day you must chant a psalm
Stop the nonsense for we have all had enough
Pulling your gun doesn’t make you tough
The system is meant to keep us childlike
So remember to think before you strike
Good reasons why Solomon was wise
He never rush into his own demise
Eyes pealed around every corner
Watch your steps or you’ll be a goner
Not too many you can truly trust
Not every journey has to end up in a bust
Remember manners and always say please
If you lay with dogs you rise with flees
Learn how to take a compliment
You can’t always win every argument
Make your life an event
Remember it’s not the words, but its intent
Live your life filled with joy
Never end up as somebody’s toy
People’s lives don’t try to destroy
Life is too short so while you’re here enjoy

Heaven Help Us All
Heaven help the child who never had a home,
Heaven help the girl who walks the street alone
Heaven help the roses if the bombs begin to fall,

Heaven help the black man if he struggles one more day,
Heaven help the white man if he turns his back away,
Heaven help the man who kicks the man who has to crawl,
Heaven help us all.
Heaven help us all, heaven help us all, help us all.
Heaven help us, lord, hear our call when we call
Oh, yeah!
Heaven help the boy who wont reach twenty-one,
Heaven help the man who gave that boy a gun.
Heaven help the people with their backs against the wall,
Lord, heaven help us all.
Heaven help us all, heaven help us all, heaven help us all, help us all.
Heaven help us, lord, hear our call when we call.
Now I lay me down before I go to sleep.
In a troubled world, I pray the lord to keep, keep hatred from the mighty,
And the mighty from the small,
Heaven help us all.

Respect Poem
_________________________________________
Resp ect your elders all if they deserve;
Respect your servants who will serve;
Respect your father for tilling the soil;
Respect your mother for her love and toil.
Respect all teachers who gave you the knowledge;
respect your parent who will pay for your collage
respect your friend who saved you from the ledge
respect yourself from not going to the edge.
they are so many things we tend to say
giving respect does not come everyday
don't reject, don't regret just correct
but don't forget to bloody respect.
respect it something i like
doesn't matter if your wrong or right
doesn't matter if you black or white
doesn't matter if your rich or poor
doesn't matter what the hell you own
doesn't matter what way were you born.

Waiting For You
Waiting For You
Written by: Wilfred Mellers, Friday, August 27,2010, @ 8: 50: 43 AM
In my days of solitude for melancholy interludes so rude
Imaginings once thought everlasting are now shades of grays for happier days
Thoughts once shared have now all disappeared
Hollowed now are memories from distant countries
Wavering in my mind of happier times so kind
Solis seeking words no longer speaking
These words in the vernacular once spectacular
Saying my goodbyes as my dreams dies
Joys once bountiful to love so beautiful
Filled with anger as days grow longer
My heart beats from stress while working with less
Yet still trying my best without rest
What more can I say to you for respect long overdue
My heart won’t divest beating loudly in my chest
Seldom can I unwind for memories set in rewind
Life so unkind for that’s how it’s designed
Yellow walls now confined and the sun no longer shined
For the heart is blind and wont leave you behind
How long will it last as all hope fades fast
All roads incline from letters I no longer sign
Is it true that I still love you?
For you I’m dumbfound for my life ends when you’re not around
Days go on forever for these ties wont sever
I’m so lost without you and I don’t know what to do
These days I hate and only serve’s to frustrate
Searching for an updat so I wait
Ideas I review for hopes I try to rescue
Standing in a cue for life I renew
This line should I pursue a new?
Waiting for a breakthrough I make-do
Abused and always standing accused
It will only end and I will ascend when I’m in your arms again

Hope
HOPE
Written by: Wilfred Mellers, Monday, January 30,2012, @ 3: 37 PM
Sometimes I want to lie down and cry
Sometimes I wish I could just die but why?
I cannot stem the tide, though I have tried
All I can do is to change my mind
A future I have to define
I will still try until the day I die
The tears won’t flow from my eyes
I must scale the tallest sky-rise
My soul shall touch the skies
Stress is just evil will in disguise
It is just no good that wants you to compromise
Let go those sad and lonely goodbyes
Keeping my eyes on the prize
Tomorrow can bring a surprise
So what, my life is not at a gallop
I shall never give up
I may never blowup
Blessed with life so I’ll getup
Life is a performance and not a warm-up
I will cope and never give up hope

Time Is Mine And I Its Master
Time Is Mine and I Its Master
Written by Wilfred Charles Mellers
This day of March 8th,2012 @ 9: 57am
I have lived a thousand lifetimes before
So shall I again until I get it right
I am like the wind
I am chasing for the breeze
I was there when a spark lit the fire that fanned the flames that illuminated the universe
I saw life come into being
I saw the first smile and uttered the first words
I was there when the dinosaurs went extent
I traveled the world and watch mankind crawl out of the oceans depth
I nurtured him and taught him how to take his first footsteps
I watched him travel into the great beyond with marvel at his progress
My soul is eternal but this vessel is not
I ride though existence on a horse named faith
God has granted me a soul to live, love, and learn
When my days are truly done I shall reunite with my maker for the glory of all times
I shall watch eternity passing away as I spend it with my true love
I will be there when the sun spends its last fuel
I shall rise again at a new dawn of civilization
The divine has set my purpose
He is truly the master of all things and I his humble servant
May good graces follow you as I it does
The Holy Spirit dwells within us all
God is good and so are you
