Look at what we have come to.
Always looking over our shoulder.
Always praying for the soldiers.
America the Great, America at stake.
The land of the freedom and home of the brave,
or land of the poverty and home of the slaves.
Wall of hope, or wall of terror.
Oh America, how clever.
Are we making enemies, or creating fools?
Do we know what the next step is to do?
We have come a long way but still have the same mindset of living back in 1968.
Traditions change but things that we remember stay the same.
The future is near,
will we stand tall or fall with bullets of steel.

Blue skies
Blue eyes
Blue lies
Thinking I could go back and change time.
What a fool was I.
Blind sighted by the attention, wanting the person I was missin.
Stuck in a time zone of fake love.
Glad I realized I was just being taken advantage of.
Forgive but never forget,
because the one time you reminisce will be the time you go back to your ex.

Do we actually listen, or do we actually pay attention?
Is life actually short, or do we just listen to the critics?
Sometimes we take things for granted,
Never understanding the message.
For some it takes a reality check just to see who is next.
Live everyday like it is your last or live ever day according to the past.
It is your choice, your decision.
You must prove to everyone what they are missin.
The mind controls a lot, but do you have what it takes to control your own thoughts?

Black, White, Asian, Chinese.
Are we actually still racists in todays society?
We act like we don't care but in reality we are scared.
What is there to fear?
The color, gender, or background of a human?
To be scared of our own kind,
seems pretty crazy when we are all built of the same mind.
Look at our culture, everyone acting like vultures.
Where does it end?
When the white men win, or when the black man always dies in the end.

What color do I see
Green
Life is not based off black and white anymore.
Its all about the money.
The things we would do for a dollar.
Basing our principles off of high scholars.
Fast, easy money is what we want,
some people act like predators going on a hunt.
What would you do for the green,
trying to make sense of what our society sees.
so do me a favor and end this poem with the most known phrase
The love of money is the root of all.....

Do you feel better, or do you feel worse?
Are your actions right or wrong?
The revenge is humble but the sins are trouble.
The wrong actions may feel like great satisfaction.
Don't get too comfortable because she is always near.
Maybe in a week, month, or year.
Karma is a ***** yes, that is true.
So watch your back or she will come to you.

Love is precious, love is kind.
I wake up everyday wondering will it take time?
Am I going to make it?
Am I going to shine?
Am I going to prosper?
Am I going to rise?
All the pressure is on me for who I am going to be.
I get nervous, but I don't fear.
I know you are by my side to show me where to steer.
Is love a feeling?
Is love sincere?
Is love just a word, or is it just an affection for who is close?
I can't see you but I can feel you.
I can feel you but I can't see you.
Which is worse? One or two?
Do you know what to do?
If you actually understood what those previous lines mean,
then you know who to go to.

You ever meet someone so pure that they just show you a new meaning to life?
Yeah, me neither.
You ever meet someone so thoughtful that they cared for you as much as you cared for them.
Yeah, me neither.
A positive mindset can change everything.
Your views on love, hope, trust, and loyalty.
Do you have what it takes,
to love the soul of ache,
the hope of a snake,
the trust of a mistake,
and the loyalty of a fake?

One nation under God,
seems like our nation is falling under frauds.
Our independence, freedom, and loyalty slowly fading away.
When did our nation go under such change.
Was it the day we stood up for our rights,
or the day we fell down in fight.
With liberty and justice for all,
that saying is so cliché knowing we don't get **** for what we say.

Day n Night
Crying in sight.
I want to be alone, or maybe I just want to hold my own.
Hiding behind a mask,
trying not to face my next task.
A fake smile a day will keep the questions away.

A fake smile a day will keep the questions away.
Hiding behind a mask,
trying not to face my next task.
Why are we so scared?
Are we unprepared?
We are women, NOT timid.
With strength in our eyes,
our mind comes alive.
To believe life is a challenge is a mind game that we play
everyday just trying to find excuses that we can name.
We wake up and look in the mirror,
look at that beautiful face so sincere.
Do not shed those tears of sorrow,
but smile for the joys of tomorrow.
You are a strong beautiful woman of grace,
Remember who you are and NEVER lose faith.

End of time
End of lies
End of cries
Things that are supposed to be bad are good,
and things that are good are supposed to be bad.
Will we pay attention to the signs that are right in front of our eyes.
Influence means everything, especially in this day-n-age.
Peer pressure, drugs, security,
God look what society is doing.
Live with no regrets on this earth because when the end of times occur you might be where it hurts.

— The End —
