How many times?
You heard be real.
Except when you are someone feelings get hurt.

Don't matter the matter.
You find something or say something that ticks someone off.

Some ladies love to say just be upfront.
Whether it's about love.
Whether it's about ***.
And most men know this one create more problems.

Be real nicely said by some.
But not seeking truth from you.
When suddenly you heard, "you hurt my feelings".

Sure, there is protocol involved.
Except many of us only know to speak from the heart.

We heard it.
Hard to believe it.
Especially the position they hold.
More so when it involves a minister.

Daughter pregnant and unmarried and suddenly you heard she been put out the door.
But this the one guiding the flock.
Speaking about forgiveness.

To many in the know this minister more concern with image.

Who hasn't wanted to say what?

They say smile, things will get better.
Sure the sadness for now hurts.
Except in my heart nothing matter without you.

The sun can beam bright.
Except it won't bring happiness back into my life.
At night the moon can glow.
Except you won't see me smile.
Cause nothing matter without you.

You the foundation of my world that I have built.
I cater to you.
I love you through and through.

Oh, don't worry suicide the last thing on my mind.
I love you to death.
But at no time am I thinking of taking this life of mine.

I am focus upon loving you.

Was, we GREAT when we gather the Asian Americans into a camp in the United States?
Were we great then?

History, when written by them, seem to wash on the story in editated ways.

When Jim Crow's law passed to enhance them and their racist ways.
Were we GREAT then?
Or just as stupid as we are now.

When we see foolish political leaders jump on the built this wall train?
And separate children's from their parents?
Are we Great?
Heck, we barely can address this mistake.

And many wearing this Making America Great hats and caps will be the same ones discriminating with pride.
Only hiding when exposed as being a supporter of racist ways.

When Civil Rights workers disappeared or were killed?
Was America GREAT?

Obviously, they couldn't convict those that were guilty.
When evidence was presented before their very own eyes.

When busing was an opportunity for races to connected?
We saw groups of bigots protesting highly over federal courts decisions.

Thank God some judges are not puppets but use their WISE minds.

Girl, you say love me.
But, I hear a different story.
Girl, you say you need me.
But I believe you getting over.

Why?
Does a man of my worth get hurt?
When my genuine love has a worth.

Just remember this I am not a toy.
To be tossed around and destroy.

Girl, you say love me.
Except I can't believe it.
Girl, you say I am needed.
But you can't make me now believe.

All my doubts have come to the surface and all my thrill subsided.
But just maybe they might return to you.

It's just a matter of time.

The truth lies in believing and not deceiving.
Lies starts with deception instead of confession.
When in your heart you chose to do anything for the lord?

Stay the path.
Stay the course.
Two subjects mention in the scriptures decided to play games with the truth.

Or agree to be deceptive for no apparent reasons.
If they felt not to follow through than they should state it.
Peter, was an honorable representative in place of Jesus.

Why?
Keep what you promise to give?
And you weren't pushed too.
Ananias only were exposed when questioned?
And offered up a false answer.

Believers, the TRUTH holds strength.
Ananias found out too late what it meant?

Then his spouse had a chance.
For some reason, she failed the same question.
When she could have given an honest answer.

Believers, the TRUTH holds substance.

Promise God nothing if you can't keep your word.
This is what we all have as our honor.

Some stand on the corner and seek a donation.
Stating nothing more.

I believe some of the nicest people, are the homeless?

Now, the meanest are?
Mmmm those with negative comments.

Why?
Don't they get a job?
Good point?
Except, those that donate do so from the heart.

And yes, some are hustlers with a job?
But those with cars might not be homeless at all.

We know not their stories and many have a testimonial to encourage another.

But in my heart, I believe the homeless, are some of the nicest people?

Have you been around those judgemental church folks?
