Mae
A bright light came shining through
shining brightly saying I Love You
As the crash came, I saw her face
she just smiled and left without a trace.

She was sent as an angel for my protection
to take my life towards a diffrent direction
If I know Mae, she did all that she could
She talked to God as I knew she would.

She took me under her wings only to fly
She removed a situation so I wouldn't die
Mae made it clear for me to understand
She said God wants me to be a better man.
Mae Francis is my mother-in-law who died 3 days after Christmas in 2010. I was in a terrible car crash 12/18/12 and I saw her face. I dedicate this poem to her. She was a great woman with a great spirit. Love  Forever
The cans are empty, no money
in the jar.
can't ride the bus, don't even  
own a car.

The phone won't ring nor
make a single sound.
can't wear shoes to keep my
barefeet off the ground.

The stove won't burn, cause
there ain't no gas.
can't drink water or even
wash a single glass.

The world is dark and filled
with doubt.
can't find my way around,
cause the lights are out.
I had a dream about a witch,
she stood in my path trying
to ask for forgiveness for
murders she committed some
years ago.

yet I have nothing to offer
her, nor do I care about her
nor do I care about her wishes,
the witch could have made the
better sacrafice years ago.

the witch chose to **** my
family blood for the sake of
a sack of change, a career
she never had the talent to be,
someone told her she was cute.

the witch allowed this poison
to go to her head, seven snakes,
an abortion knife and a brother
who never had the guts to tell
her no.

the witch killed me with an
double edged sword in which
i call ****** for money and
life for money all stirred in
a boiling *** of deadly brew.

in the end the witch always
perish from the spells that she
casted upon others, somewhere
she picks up the vile, drinks
from it and then she die.
You can explain things to a man
but does he really listen, no
he has it in his mind that no
matter what he's always right.

Man let pride get in the way
and instead of seeing truth,
he wants the world to think
cool be he and he be cool.

You can point to the problem
yet he'll refuse to see it, and
then man will turn and blame
it all on you.

An unbreakable image for
what the the world must see,
all the time afraid like a boy
screaming, i want to be a man.
Our worlds are totally far apart,
my life is full of destruction and
loneliness, its like a broken down
boxcar that sits in the ghetto

Our eyes met and I see you
everyday riding the trains
and walking the streets
of India, good or bad I don't
know

Our dreams may be different
I only dream of you in gold
and diamonds and a will to
always protect you

Our train ride together offers
me a chance to leave my world
behind, only to join you and
your breathe-taking smile

Our thoughts about life and
who we protect are the same,
kind hearts beat that way and
you make mine beat in a very
special way

Our journey like the train, goes
in different paths with you never
knowing that when our eyes meet
you take me wherever you go
sometimes you have to wallop in
the mess thats created around you.
you try to run, you can't get away
you try to hide but you're always
seen.

scream as loud as you can, but no
one really cares about what you're
going thru, so it seems that you're
out there all alone, nobody but you.

get up, face it, what do you expect
someone to come running to solve
the mess you've made.
no one can make this right,
except you.

stand up for yourself and stop
looking for self pity. before you
created this awful, awful mess
you were doing just fine, weren't
you.
Smile in your face and place
you on top of a mountain.
Only to drag you down for
the amusement of the town.

Religion he claims for the
whole world to see,
a member of pure darkness,
con artist and a liar.

Prestige, a sense of falseness
cleverly put into play.
A game for the kisser and
no room for the weak.

No yards to be gain as the
quarters come to an end.
In the end its all worth it
because you will learn.
