Everyone is looking for a savior.

Yet, no one wants to save her.

The clouds turn gray and the memories fade away.

Imprints of bodies are all that remain.

And no one really wants to go to war.

Yet everyone wants someone to fight for.

When really,

Flames lead to dust.

And ashes smear your cheeks.

The air reeks,

Of broken,

muddied,

*dreams.

Forever.
Is forever to forget.
To let your mind become worthless.

To let that pressure within it off.
To not think about it.
To know about it.
Or even speak about.
Why?
Because you've got forever.

Oh, yes forever.
That one word we use for certain aspects of life.
Some, we hate.
Others, we love or least like.

For example.
Things, we wish could last forever.
Like Peace.
A word that carry so much weight.
Make no mistakes about it.
Who truly wants to argue on a date?
Yes, peace carries a lot of strength.
It's what we seek when we want an end to wars?

And like Love.
Ask any lover's , what they truly hope for?
But don't be shocked by the answer.
Because love of realness speaks in volumes.

Many seeks it.
Many adore it.
Many live for it.
Many love it.
And, there can't be a couple that don't want it forever?
There just can't be.

It's one of the reason people carve a heart upon a tree.
And mark their names, with forever.

But, then you want to forget things completely too.
And hope it's forever to forget.
We hear it often.
And repeatedly told.
That there are something about a women.
That needs to be left to a man imagination.
As, if they hadn't imagine anyway.

They say cover up.
Cover up your goodies.
They just don't need to be shown.

But you can cover up head to toe.
Men will still try to figure things out.
Some women just know this for a fact.
Even, if you cover up all the way to the neck.

Many women have attracted men with less.
That's for sure.
And some will always remain independent against advice.

We see sinners of lust in the street.
And many more in the house of the Lord.
They just pretends more to support the cover up.

Cause many times, it was the uncovered that created the trouble.
So, we know at one time they was covered up.
Another politician falls.
And it didn't even concern a bribe this time.
But money were involved.

Another celebrity caught.
And like them all, it's never their fault.
But money were involved.

Money causes trouble.
Trouble comes from money.
It's the root of all evil things.
It has been that way down through the decades.

Create havoc only for you to explain.
Destroyed many divorces that create hate for days.

Yes, money create trouble.
Some die for it.
Some **** for  it.
While others simply adores it.

Through all it conflicts.
Many doesn't change.
Money doesn't affect their world in anyway.
Cause many realizes trouble comes and fades.
Just like money in many ways.

Some folks can handle it.
Others just abandon it.
Money and trouble will always be a headache.
One, of many you have told I love you.
One, of many you profess have hurt you.
You come apart like a toy with the cheapest of glue.

The minute that you don't get your way.
Instant fury will soon come your man way.

You forget about the things of good he has done.
You instantly lump him with all the other ones.

So, I 'm asking you to think back.
And figure out with honesty and truth.
That I'm different than any other man you knew.

I was your counselor.
I was your unlicensed doctor caring deeply for you.
When you were sick and even healthy too.
Who stayed up comforting you?
When all the friends you had was destroying you.
I'm not one of those many men that ripped you apart.

I was the mender of your broken heart.
Who bought you deeper into a closer relationship with God?

Remember that.
And remember this too.
I was the man of them all that truly did love you.
A wise woman spoke to her man honest truth.
That chasing another is only a sign of a fool.
That she were the only honest woman he knew.

That the one he was chasing with lust.
Was a money hungry fool.
Once the money is gone.
And you can't support her world.

That she will seek another man to support her.
And there are many foolish men to play that role.
But he failed to listen to her every world.

Until , he was ill in health.
And wanted his first true love again.
The wise woman that spoke honest truth.

She refused to be any man's fool.
But accepted being his friend again.
And every now and then.
She would rub it in.
If he pushed her to speak.
That she warned him about his choice of lust.

Funny thing is there are many men like this guy.
Who left a good woman?
Who would have stood by his side?
Who went out to chase a dream?
Who found out she wasn't exactly as she seem?
