One Family united as one
The Father, Mother Daughter and Son
In unity we can set things right
In the darkness be the guiding light
Keep your heart open
Keep hoping
The Family be the truth to all lies spoken
We have the tools set it straight
I can't wait to see the date
We all can relate
Not to hate
A Families love
Black,White our blood is both red
ONE PEOPLE ONE WORLD we must move ahead
We can do it
Take a moment show someone you care
To get it together for..
ONE PEOPLE..ONE WORLD..ONE BIG FAMILY AFFAIR!
Written in the 90's M.A.N.
Guard your heart always but let your emotions play
Reveal your mind but don't let it slip away
Happiness is a goal dreamers want to obtain
Misery is reality for those who believe it can be sustained
Fleeting emotions becoming one with the wind
Never knowing ourselves is our greatest sin
We seek what we feel not knowing the way
For an emotional treasure will be revealed one day.

Ooo....
Here we go again
Just you and I
Running in a circle I just keep wondering why
We play these games
With no shame
I was the one who took the first look
You never saw my face
I was so out of place
your lips I wanted to taste.
I finally caught your eye
I wasn't an average guy
Fates intertwine as the circle starts to connect
Like the infinity sign my love for you forever set
To keep running in a circle I just keep wondering why....

Oh Poetry, Oh Poetry
You have given me new life
And another reason to be scolded by the one in my life
She doesn't approve of any thing that I do
to her I'm just a silly rhyming fool
She is the anti poet I don't say this in jest
She says poetry ***** and points her finger in my chest
I crack a big smile as I sit in eternal bliss
I ponder my next poem will it be a hit or miss?
Should I make one about flying away on wings of words
Or create a universe where I float away on ships of verbs
My mastery is endless as I spin a syllable through time upon my magic carpet made of rhyme
For finally, I have found my one true home my confidence everyday has grown
I'm grateful to this ancient art, I pledge to poetry to do my part
To reintroduce what wasn't lost for that I will pay any cost
Oh Poetry, Oh Poetry you have given me life
I was just kidding
With poetry I can express my love in many ways to the one in my life
As long as she doesn't knock my
Oh Poetry, Oh Poetry. =D

Why is it sometimes we force our love?
Is it in our nature to push and shove?
Forcing our will upon our obsessions and desires
Chances burning up like a funeral pyre
I know, I've been down that path
Its riddled with lovesick fools who never did their math
You need to stop it!!
It will never work
All your doing is multiplying the hurt
For "True Love" from the beginning is true
Nothing anybody or anything one can do
Destiny will always find its path
It's laid with broken hearts that felt its wrath....

I will be your guide in the darkest storm
I will pick you up when you are battered and torn
Heal your soul with Heaven's light
Restoring your beauty to shine so bright
Our illuminating love guides our way
As we journey through each hour of the day
As night time comes you begin to fade
For it wasn't you but a memory saved
I breathe my last breath all turns to night...
Together forever we walk into Heaven's light...
Poem felt incomplete so expanded it a bit...7-3-13 M.AN
I can't stop my poetry flow
It's getting out of control
I love it..Need it!
My soul is completed
All negativity within has long been defeated
What has been created is a Poetry Beast
Hunting down words for this poetry feast
Feel my fire
Born from desire
I feel I can build or destroy any empire
All in the mind
Answers we thought we could not find
Keys to stop suffering cure ills of mankind
Through our intelligence
Let us signify our relevance
Our existence means something we must regain our elegance
I realize some people will never understand
Minds open up like fingers of a hand
I'll do it
Give it my best try
Even if it means I have to die
Build off legacies left behind
Martin Luther King Jr's plight should be in everyone's mind
He had dream the advancement of all
Through Peace and Intelligence
Not building new walls
Battles begin as old ones end
It all comes down to the message we send
Mental pollution hides the solutions
We imprison each other create institutions
Really?
You think that is the answer?
Hmm wonder why there is no cure for cancer
We are stuck..too many situations ****
Political systems always become corrupt
How many times do we have to see it in history?
Repeatedly failing there is no mystery
I apologize if you get riled up
This is for the thirsty go grab your cup
How will we do it?
Where do we start?
As an instigator I've done my part..
TOGETHER
Bonds can't be severed
We have begun a journey long to be endeavored
Can you feel it?
It has begun
Roads open up go ahead choose one
I take them all
I know my destination
Push and poke at every nation
For now...
That is my time..
I'll  be back..
Hope  message stays in your mind
No limit how  high we can climb
Let us do it
Let it begin
Answer to life's questions lie deep within.
7-2-13 Poetry by M.A.N Wrote this a while back did an edit for twitter hope y'all like..
I remember the moment I learned we die
I was a young , I screamed out, WHY!!
I looked to see if I was on Death's path
listened to see if I could hear Death's laugh
Frantic I found myself in my mothers arms
Embraced by all her motherly charms
Held me close, wiped my face
My mouth was salty from the tears I taste
Calmed me down with her tender love
Comfort felt like a hand in glove
She told me son you gotta live....
You are special You have so much to give.
Rocking my soul gently to sleep
Aware now of deaths slow creep
Fading I fall into dreamland
Where once again I took my mothers hand
Mommy I love you this poem is for you
Can never change what we went through
Time will pass my love won't change
Everything around it I will rearrange
To see you in pain cuts me like a knife
To ease your suffering I would give my life.

Cycles of life wondrous in your flow
Nature is a rhythm that forever will just go
Bringing your beauty since the beginning of time
Repeating patterns to which reality is defined
Seasons arrive passengers on the wind
Eager to flourish and begin again
