Offended, get over it.
Comments hurt but only if there is truth within it.
Folks, seeking a mythological world of fantasies is hiding from reality.

Our past offends one more than ever before.
Even, now you see it going on too.
Still making up laws to discriminate against a few.

Folks, it's nothing new.
It still the same hue from the powerbroker's crew.
And they cry let's get over end to hide.

But truth always been on the oppressor's side.
You know the phase; you can run but you can't hide.
Besides history can't be erased for them to save face.

Your decisions hit ever minority race.
And now here they are crying in modern times.
Sensitivity hurt, so put it in your pocket.

And face facts, eventually you will pay in time
Daily, we do change.
Sometimes for the better than again.
It's simply hard to say.

But when it's a new year, there should be a new you.
A new year to love.
A new year to live.
But with every new year crisis happens.

And that's the problem with certain people.
Let not your sadness

Parents, Say It
All parents, say it.
Say you proud of your son, daughter, grandchild.
Say, it with pride.
Be happy, be proud.

Simply have no regrets.
Unless you ashamed of them.
Some achieved and succeeded against all odds
I hate this.
I hate that.
Well, what do you love?
Tell your parent since you the complaining child.

With less many do more.
Thank them instead of being a complaining child.
Love them, protect them, adore them.

Stop comparison to friends with more.
They have complaining children too.

Name brand, forget it,
Eventually, when older?
You be able to afford it.
Now, face facts on reality too.

Parent or parents has more complains about you.
Some tell you.
Others refuse too.

Be glad you have someone to tell your troubles too.
Oh, for sure.
Oh, for sure, we thank God for the parents we had.
That father.
That mother.
That grandparents or maybe some siblings in that role that raised us.
Guided us from danger or certain trouble.

We knew a parent stare and what it curtails.
We knew the consequences wasn't going to be good.
But that message stuck with us not to find out.

Oh, we not saying we perfect.
Except this present generation couldn't handle the crisis.
Yes, some spoil, and that apple fall upon their adult tree.

So, sometimes in comparison, we say thank God that that firm dad or mom.
And yes, various neighbors played a part in it too.

Act out at that visiting home.
You might regret going back to yours.
Oh, we knew how to act in church.

Even, sat that aunt or uncle.
We just knew.
So, thank God for individuals that raised us to know respect.
Sometimes, we don't give them enough credit.

You, I Enjoy
I like your eyes.
I love your smile.
I adore everything about you.
Hate to admit this even that attitude.

I enjoy your laugh.
I enjoy your hugs.
Both are to me a sweet comfort.

If I must die to protect you from harm.
Then that I will do.

Just (Be You)
When others opine on you?
Saying, you're different than what they use too.
Just be you.

Whether it's deals with the music you listen too?
Or car of choice.
Or race of the woman/guy you love.
Just be you.

Who has the rights to control your choice?
But you, yes but you.

Be you in life.
And live it right.
Although many will say it's not the way they like.

Just be you.
Even in your political views.
Many will try to narrate you to act like them.
Applying pressure your way.

Just be you.

Ask Yourself
Many reasons, why you lonely?
Just accept the blame.
Just ask yourself.
Was it those lips upon your mouth that got arguments started?
Just ask yourself.
Many times, quietness works.

Was it being home and not cleaning it?
Expecting others that works hard to come and do it.
Again, ask yourself.

Was it you're drinking and more that made your partner walk out the door.
And you find excuses to use.

Maybe, it's you that created a lot of mistakes you can't recover from.
And now you are crying about being the lonely one.

Calling Love
jeffrey conyers Dec 2024
Here, I am searching, seeking.
To some maybe pleading.
But I'm calling love to complete me.

I have a little of this and that and could use more.
But what in my life I earned.
I just need something to support it.
I am calling love because I want it.

In fact, everybody needs it.
Except many afraid to admit it.
So, they decide to avoid it.

But not me because I truly enjoy it.

Jimmy-Man of Grace
jeffrey conyers Dec 2024
Some folks are angels without knowing it.
Or choosing to be.
Just by your caring nature and humility, you created a greater legacy.

When folks?
Can mention you without much negativity.
It only contributes more to your legacy.
Jimmy Carter, you were a man of Grace.
Something, a few leaders can never claim.

Maybe it was your southern charm that impress many.
Maybe it was having Rosalyn upon your arm during your union.
Either way, you a classic example of son raised greatly by their mom.

Maybe, it was your loyal dedication to our country.
As a soldier or presidential leader.
To many you were a great example of what many should strive to be.

A man of grace without any apology.

If The Skin You In
jeffrey conyers Dec 2024
If the skin, you in feels a certain way?
Change it.
Change your perspective to reflect you.

Especially, if you have any racial views.
Only you, can control you.

If the skin, you in makes you shivers?
Change it.
The world constantly rotates.
And there not much room for mistakes.

Whether you liberal or conservative.
You find both exist within you to some extent.

So, if the skin you in makes it hard to be loved?
Change you.

Can't Stop Me
jeffrey conyers Dec 2024
I hate to say it.
But it must be said, you can't stop me.
I got to fight, fight, fight against injustice.

You know, it's not right, right, right creating unhanded laws.
That is hurting us all.

So, you can't stop me.
We got to fight, fight, fight.

Sure, there will be some standing on the sideline.
But everything we accomplished, is just not for me.

They will be the first taking advantage of things they never fought for.

Women Quit Complaining
jeffrey conyers Dec 2024
Women, men not perfect.
Yes, far from it.
Just quit complaining about the men.

They sexist many hear but a few of you are too.
Maybe more with a grumpy attitude.
Obviously, you are the ruler of many lawsuits.
Some you very aware shouldn't be.


As many men get painted guilty in public view.
Just think of the thing's men don't bring lawsuits against you too.
To this day many of you still playing the pay to play game.

In society of truth, we call it another name.
Secretly, you know how some of those house bills gotten paid.
And car notes too.
Just imagine if males told the honest truth about your scams and schemes.

Somethings, deserves to be known.
And you should rightly speak.
jeffrey conyers Dec 2024
Sounds, good saying Make America Great.
And in various decades, we have been fantastic.
Even with our racists mentality.

Many has achieved that America dream.
Against the laws that tries to hold them back.
Fairness, certain populations yet to see or feel.

And that is for various reasons.
Some of us ask, when was America Great.
Simply let us know.

History holds sadness to our country.
Happiness has blossom within our cultures.
America, when was we great?

During the sit-in.
During the Civil Rights struggles.
During wars.

DAuring the corruptions of high-level executives.
jeffrey conyers Dec 2024
Up late at night pretending to be asleep.
I open one of eyes and, saw a wink.
A man placing toys in the room under the tree.

And upon a closer view I knew him sincerely.
Because Santa looked just like my dad that night.
And assisting him was this sweet woman I knew deeply.

They seem to be having so much joy putting together various toys.
And this along made me love them just that more.
Because Santa, looked just like dad and that sweet woman just like my mother.

Probably, one of the best present ever given out of love.
Just seeing them two up in the night smiling.
And I saw one of them wink again.
Because they were aware this just a day of pretend.

Women Earned Their Way
jeffrey conyers Dec 2024
Women earned their way.
These are words a few men hate to say.
Yes, women earned their way.

Ministers stay stuck upon men in scriptures.
Leaving many loyal women out of the picture.
Some, still seeking them to be strictly submissive.

But research and see the truth of facts.
Women earned their way.
No need debating this because facts speak for themselves.

Like back then, many are survivals of trouble and love.
Long been known, some men are strictly trouble.
Afraid of the success of a woman.

Look, at your sister, aunt, mother or significant woman.
And admit their strength and say women earned their way.
They never defeated once they figure out what path to follow.
Dec 2024 · 68
Until
jeffrey conyers Dec 2024
I am loving you.
Until my last days.
Until my last breath fades away.

I am loving you.
Even in my thoughts and when I pray.

In my heart, you an unknown star.
But highly recognized within my heart.

I am loving you.
When tears start to fall.
For you I would give my all and all.
Until my last breath fades away.

Erase all doubts that I don't care.
You only find daily that I do.
For sure I am a lovesick fool.

So, until, until I can't no more.
I beloving you until

They Like (Black Culture)
jeffrey conyers Dec 2024
They like our music.
They like our wear.
Oh, yes, we are so different than them.

They like our style totally true.
They like the way we tell you off.
When in truth we shouldn't have too

They like our strength.
Yes, we a strong culture.
All things throw at us.
We just pull through.

But black culture always does.

They like our hair style.
Even, if they deny it.
We won't buy it.

They just adore our creations.
Our music rules the world to certain extent.
Think of the royalties owed to many.

If they own just a part of it.
There was some crookedness involved within it.

Something about black culture they attracted too.
The things we say and do they want to do.
Dec 2024 · 151
I Told A Secret
jeffrey conyers Dec 2024
I told a secret, and it stayed that way
Many ask to who?
And I say God because I knew it wouldn't go any further.

There's no one on earth I tell anything too.
Because folks always tempted to spread your news.
And when confronted they blame you.

But when speaking to the Lord it's with confidence.
Because he exactly knows what bothering you.

The Gift
jeffrey conyers Dec 2024
When asked?

Say, knowing Christ.

Explain your reasoning without regrets.
Obviously, if honest?
He has saved us out of a lot of mess.

The gift must be recognized.

And folks there is no reason to apologize.

Give Them Your Love
jeffrey conyers Dec 2024
If, you get no gifts?
Or a gift to give.
Give them your love.
It free and more remembered.

If you have that it's the better present to have.

If you wish for something?
And fail to materialize.
Give them your love.
It will be the greatest surprise.

God gifted us with the greatest gift.
And it been many, many decades since.
And that present represented throughout the universe.

So, give them your love.

If A Man Cry
jeffrey conyers Dec 2024
If a man cry?
If you his woman comfort him?
The strongest of them do shed tears.

Sure, others put up a front of pretense.
But there's nothing weak about shedding tears.
Could be over a child.
Could be over a spouse or a parent.
Or whatever circumstances.

If a man cry?
Comfort him.
For memories brings pain to your eyes.
jeffrey conyers Dec 2024
Adults, seems to get it wrong least about Christmas.
Many very aware Christ is the key to the season.
But to a child the joy of smiling about receiving gifts just what they been told.

Jesus, not worry about sharing that day.
It seems to be the grownups
Who seems steam?

But forget about seeing a child face with a gleam.
After all Christ birth was miraculous.
Like after three days he rose for all of us.

So, let the joy of the world be about Christ.
And the gift of love he bestowed in all of us.

Because Jesus not worry about sharing.
It's just the adults that do the most complaining.

Diddy , Diddy
jeffrey conyers Dec 2024
Diddy, Diddy you better call Trump because he made the justice system looks like punks.
He did bad things and simply got a slap on the hand.

Diddy, Diddy in prison you bet not go by puff.
Just might be a few tougher guys that make you huff.

Diddy, Diddy, live and learn that money can't protect you from wrong you done.
But the guilt, now in other hands to decide.
But remember all the wrong you done and still hadn't offered to apologize.

Mrs. Santa Claus
jeffrey conyers Dec 2024
Dedicated to the end.
Unselfish just for the way she shares her man.
Undying support at all levels.

Sure, we know more about him.
Except she stays within his shadow.
But we are very much aware he calls her Madam Claus.

Kind, sweet and unwavering with love.
Pretty much reminds many that she like our very own mother.

Mrs. Santa Claus, a woman Santa knows is within his corner.
In truth, she the chief executive of the toys department.
Comfortable within her own skin.

All the elves answer to her and honestly not her man.

Second To Noon
jeffrey conyers Dec 2024
Except for the lord your lady should be second to none.
She should in your eyes, heart, soul and mind know she is number one.

And you treat her that way.
And not afraid to tell anyone why.
Probably few of many that has seen you cry.

A Rarity Upon This Earth
jeffrey conyers Dec 2024
Some men find a diamond.
Some men find a pearl.
Some just find that royal gem that truly cherish him.

Some men go the distance.
Some goes even further than that.
Some men hold his jewel high at all times.

Any request she seeks or ask.
He goes out to fulfill without any questions
For he is very aware of what she has done for him.

She a rarity upon this earth.

Yes, Love Will Do It
jeffrey conyers Dec 2024
I tried it.
I like it.
Couldn't avoid it.
I just had to explore it.
Because it made me curious.

Just trying it made me delirious.
Yes, I am serious.
Because love is dangerous.

If you can't handle it.
But if you think you can.
Just try it.
It just might get you hooked.
Yes, love will do it.
Dec 2024 · 43
Mind of A Fool
jeffrey conyers Dec 2024
When you look back at segregation?
You find a mind of a fool that based decisions upon race?
Within various section of a racist society, you question things.

When anyone of color visit a place for food?
They mostly were denied services showing the minds of a fool.

Who didn't see truth?
Electricity bills require money.
Rental spaces required money
Water bills require money, and at the end of the day it has nothing to do with color of a person skin.

Because the color that control things simply was green.
Dec 2024 · 139

But you should expect this from a man of love.
Expect this.

Maybe, my hugs are tight.
Maybe, my hugs just right.
Maybe, you feel them more at certain time of nights.
But you are dealing with a man of love.

Maybe I am more expressive than anyone you ever known.
I offer no apologies.
Maybe I bring more to romance than you ever experienced.
But you should expect this from a man of love.

There will be reasons your smile.
There will be reason to fantasize.
But expect this from a man of love.
Expect this.

Can't Stop Now
jeffrey conyers Dec 2024
I been chasing--chasing you.
Travel many roads to get closer.
And just when I think I am near.
You have disappeared.

I been running--chasing you.
And if you are honest you would admit to this truth.
And just when within inches you have vanished again.

Just know---just know.
I can't stop now trying to bring you back.
Cause more than anyone you had my back.

Yes, I could count on you.
When up, when down.
When I needed a true friend around.

And I can't stop now--can't stop.
Trying to bring you back into my life.

Can't stop
Can't stop now.
Cause I want you around.

Give me my truck.
Give me my farm.
Give me my woman with those warming arms.
And I'll be happy.

And you will see a country boy with charm.
Not out to cause anybody any harm.
And I be happy.

Love Is Controlling Me
jeffrey conyers Dec 2024
Love is surrounding me, even confusing me.
But it has made me so very happy.

But never once thought it could affect me.
But it has made me so very happy.

Yes, happy in love.
From that first moment of affection.
Dec 2024 · 88

jeffrey conyers Dec 2024
When storms come from all directions?
And folks wicked opinions too.
Say, I am loved, and they are more important than you.

The embrace me with opinions.
They understand my perspective
But more than anything they are my strongest protector.

And to this them I give all my affection.
Because I am loved.

They check me, when I am wrong.
They accept me when I am right.
Our bond is tight.

So, when negativity hits your door.
Say, I am loved.

jeffrey conyers Dec 2024
Before you came, love was just a dream.
One compared to things seem on the movie screen.
Where pretense is written to draw you into the mix.

And been truly in love made you the greatest actress.
And with you in my life I found total satisfaction.
As a matter of facts, I can live with you forever and ever.

Everyone imagines what they seek.
Might be a day, a month or simply a few weeks.

Before You
jeffrey conyers Dec 2024
Upset?
Why?
Before you there was others that taught me.
Things you might not like or even try.
But never will I apologize.

Before you, I've done many things.
Some proud of, some might be placed a little shame.
But it was a path to better things.

Oh, I'm not an innocent victim seeking attention.
Like before you, I'm proud of somethings like I mention.

And if you can't handle the truth.
I know before me others schooled you too.
jeffrey conyers Dec 2024
You tossed it aside and complained that you never had romance ever come your way.
But I know and can testify that I'm the one that put love within your heart.

You treated it like You was playing various games of cards.
And seeking a joker to be your pawn.
But I know, truly know, I'm the one that placed loved within your heart.

Just because you seek to play various games to have your way.
And I admit in various I accept some blame.
But I know.
Yes, I know-I'm the one that placed love within your heart.
Dec 2024 · 307
Pull
jeffrey conyers Dec 2024
Your love has pull me in like, we were in a tug of war.
More you pull me, the more I fell in love.
And wasn't intimidated by any other competitor.

You could push me but never would have succeeded.
All because I would feel you're trying to control me.

But your love has pull me into a world that's unknown.
I must refine it more than ever before.
So, pull me in.
Just pull me in.
jeffrey conyers Dec 2024
I heard about you.
Songs written about you and yes, even poems too.
So, what I'm saying, now?
Hello love, what so special about you?

So, you're caring.
Maybe it's just an act.
So, you are loving?
Least, that's what I have been told.
Even, that you have feelings.
Now, that was very revealing.

Then, there is that other side too.
You're heartbreaking.
Leaving many hearts just aching.

So, again I ask you.
What so special about love?
If you can convince me, you are sincere.
Then I just might take a chance on falling in love.

One Good Man
jeffrey conyers Dec 2024
We know him.
We know him well.
Yes, one good man.

He deserves the credit that due him
He did her to raise him.
When he could have left both of them.

With a heart of unselfishness he took upon this woman with a child.
And bravely protected them.
Yes, one good man a total footnote in scriptures.

But in truth of reality, we never hear any negative about him.
Because he was one good man.

And just maybe Christ adapted some of his qualities from him.
Dec 2024 · 54
Come My Way
jeffrey conyers Dec 2024
Many times, we let love skip us by.
Afraid to even give it a try.
Like a hitchhiker seeking a ride.
Praying that someone will pass them by.

Come my way and see a love that's true.
Just here a waiting just for you.

Sometimes, you just refuse to see love standing before you.
Just give an excuse after an excuse.
Just come my way, I have this joy of happiness before you
Just come my way.
Dec 2024 · 55
Patiently They Wait

Embrace The Love
jeffrey conyers Dec 2024
Why run away from something freely given?
Embrace the love offered to you.
Why shame the one that loves you unselfishly?
Embrace the love without complaints.

Even, if it were perfect?
You find something to say.
That's just the way human nature operates.

Embrace the joy--that love gives.
Embrace the happiness-as long as you breathing.
God gave it to the world for a reason.
Dec 2024 · 55
Shocked Why?
jeffrey conyers Dec 2024
Shocked, why?
That's the life of a billionaire.
Only one acting hurt is the spouse.

Money attracts attention from plenty and that mostly money chasing women.

Shocked, why?
Because he gets exposed to the public by a lover.
Act like this isn't new.

It just gets more attention in the media.
Back decades ago, society hid in conservative fear.
Paid many off to keep the news hidden.

Shocked why?
Many wealthy women know their guy.
It'd like a marry traveling minister.
Somewhere, a women getting his attention.

He's just using religious principles to hide.

While others do.
Because within time they be coming to you.
And I'm blessed to know you.
Now, and forever, forever more.

365 Days of the Year
jeffrey conyers Dec 2024
He is talked about daily.
In fact, 365 days of the year.
So, why during a certain season he talked about more?

Obviously, he wouldn't be jealous.
Not him, knowing his importance to the people of the world.
This just isn't him.

Some get caught up in the month, day, he was born to talk about it worth.
Then again, isn't that just like church.
And, at best we simply guessing.

Strange things, most blame the kids because they are seeking that certain toy.
As, if adults just don't act out by the celebration of the season.

But 365 days the Lord is heard by many faiths and that's loving joy.

I'm Lucky, I'm Blessed
jeffrey conyers Dec 2024
My happiness not centered around money.
My joy not connected to that type of wealth.
But if you ask me about myself.
I will say, I'm lucky, I'm blessed.

I'm lucky to have you.
I'm blessed to know you
I am affected by both just being in love with you.

Things, folks seek to make them smile.
Eventually will fall off, within time.
They are living with only a temporary smile.

But for myself and I am only speaking about me.
I'm lucky, I'm blessed, have survived many tests.
My strength lies in knowing I have love.

And glad like many to call you that special one.

Love came, love went and only now I know what it meant.
Joy came and joy went and now I regret not enjoying it.
Happiness came and faded too.
Still all my happiest moment concerns you.

Love, we all seek.
Joy, we all have shared.
Happiness strides in all of us.
But all just needs to be embraced.

Because all three brings a smile to our faces.
And only now I know what they meant.
We just need to work on protecting them.
