The tone of voice is instantly known.
The man called the Iceman swirl you into enjoying his style.
Yes, he left an impression that drove many wild.

How, could you give him up?
When saying only the strong survive.
He was speaking truth.

Even when saying he don't love you.
Again, truth comes to light that the message mainly was right.

Some legacy fades.
Some forever stay.
Jerry Butler, yours not going anywhere.
Farewell isn't goodbye.

Not when your music still floating musically in the air.

Things
Yes, things people say.
I don't want to get marry.
But I would like a child.

Which is their right.
Except marriage takes a different type.
Marriage comes with restriction to which you must conform.
Sure, some fail, in life we ALL do.

Only a fool say they don't.

Marriage requires many sacrifices that single can't adhere too.

To say I do you go understanding you.
Time to be home, sure you are grown.
Except it's called respect.

Unless you still playing the side piece game.
Then when the marriage fails.
You contributed to the blame.

Understanding you requires understanding rules.

Before you I stand, with love in my heart.
Before you, with pride.
See all of this in my eyes.
Yes, within my eyes.

My love you can't deny.
No, it can't be denied because before you I stand.

If doves?
Is a symbol of love?
Then I will give you a dozen or two.
Before you I stand, with love, with total love for you.

Be what you are to me?
My inner strength.
My inner peace.

Jesus' stand, by me through my trouble.
Jesus' stand, by me through my struggles.
All because you the only one to help me solve them.

Through all my mistakes.
Which we upon earth make.
We hope you help us overcome them.

Jesus, stand by me, strictly, strictly stay in my corner.

And I truly know I can overcome my struggles.
With simply your love I have all my comfort.
To strive and survive everything and anything.

Let the pearl be seen.
Let the world acknowledge your Queen.
Just the way you recognize her.

Her majestic walk earns respect.
When she speaks?
It's spoken upon many with true honesty.

Let your jewel be protected.
Be her protector on call at all minutes.

She is vibrant.
She stays relevant.
You glad to have her in your presence.

Tell the world, she your Queen.

As time goes by between us.
Stay you.
Stay this same beautiful woman before me.

Seek no plastic surgery or even dye your hair.
Stay you.
You forever have my love.
Yes, forever.

If you pick up weight?
It is what it is.
I am sure you'll see a different with me.
That just the way life goes.

Stay you, the soul I came to know.
Attitude and all.

Let's soak in simply getting old.
We are wiser.
We are more precious than ever before.

You know, a strong woman intimidates a weak man.
You know that man very, very well.
Cry about that strong woman working and striving.

The one that remember mom staying home raising the kids.
Weak and intimidated men forget this where strength begins.

Weak men upset with strong women.
Those that stand firm in their opinion and speaks their minds.
Not those quiet ones that only ready to speak.
When caught cheating upon them.

A strong woman fights and impress.
Many weak men gripe and can't stand them

Forget the narrative their man is hen-peck.
That more fictional than on truth facts.

Like, a cracked mirror.
You broke me, just took the steam of living out of me.
Then one day you came back to apologize.

Like, a fool.
I took you back again to find out the next day you were gone again.
And I hate to admit this but it's with truth.
I take you back again.

Because like a fool I refuse to adapt and learn.
From all the mistakes I have made.

I guess
I guess love has ruin me to love another.
Yes, I guess I am that fool refusing to learn.
Yes, I am that fool.

When I saw you?
I saw it.
All within your eyes and smile.
Yes, love looked me in the eyes the moment we met.
Yes, it's true.

You spoke so vibrantly.
Which deeply impressed me.
Yes, love, love, looked me in my eyes the day we met.

And it never, never, never faded away.
I see stars beaming whenever I look at you.
Girl. there is something so very special about you.

Mothers doesn't as for much in life.
Except, making mama proud.
Most likely, we heard this line as youth.

Concerning life, concerning school.
Some of us succeed.
Some of us fail in making mama proud.

None wants to see that child behind walls of prisons.
But this, we're not making mama proud.
Some sons making prison life a revolving door visit.

Then sit there and cry if she can't or not allow to visit.
Then try to blame it upon the system.
Same with many daughters too.

Then, there are the success stories of truth.
Where many excel in life in making mama proud?

No, not that they were perfect in any way.
But had vision to achieve things going forth to hear, baby you have made mama proud.

Sons and daughters is it that hard to do.

Why are you scared?
Is it because of your past?
Like Malcolm stated the rooster come home to stay.

Just why?
Are you scared or intimidated?
Are you afraid of this revenge factor?
If they should act out?
Oh, for sure, yes for sure.
The narrative might not be what you like?

Especially, when guns might be involved.
What you had done in the past by being violent.
You now will find the same coming your way.

Now, we get it too why you are afraid?

Women, brag about being single mom.
Why?
Men barely address it if they are raising the child saying I'm a single dad.

You adjust and you adapt and carry on.

Some of the greatest mothers around without a man has excel.
Because failure wasn't an option.

So, adjust and adapt and carry on.

If it within my strength/
I will work to give you the world.
If I must work-day after day without a day off?
To accomplish it.
Then I will.

But know this and it spoken with total truth.
If you hurt me?
That be when I stop loving you.

From my mind I will eliminate you like you never existed.
If you hurt me?
There will never be any returning back.

You can apologize but you be wasting your breath.
But just remember that I gave my very all to you.
And you treated me, treated me like a fool.

And we all know hurt make a fool see truth.
But if you my lady upon that throne.
And very sincere and real.
I give you the world if I can.

But if
But if
But if, you ever hurt me.
That be when I stop loving you.

Your voice just moves me.
Just to hear you speak.
Even if it's just a whisper.

I just know, your voice just melts me.
Yes, I have told you this a million of times.
So, I'm telling you this again.

Even, within my sleep I hear it.
And when I kiss you and you say you love me.
I just melt hearing your voice.

Maybe it's your sensuality in speaking.
Or the affection coming from it.
I just love it.
Yes, just adore it.
Just hearing your voice.

It's just melts me.
Yes, it does
Yes, it does
Because I hear the sincerity of your love.

Just
Give me your heart.
Just give me your love.
And I be your loyal protector.

Just
Say you love me.
Together we will be.

When something is built on purpose?
It can't be broken by others.
And when words stated out of love.
They strictly speaking truth.

Just
Stay in my corner.
Just stay in my life.
For me there is no other.
You have my love for life.

When things fall apart?
Many times, it for uncontrol reasons.
But that not my concern.
My love forever you earned.

You that girl, yes, yes
You that woman, yes, yes
From the moment I met you I knew right then, you be more than just a friend.

I knew it
I knew from the tingling in my body.
That you were affecting my heart.

I knew it
I knew it from the first start that from the moment I met you.
You were going to be a lover and friend.

All signs pointed within side of me.
You understood my calm and became my peace.
Yes, from the moment--(from the moment)

Right there my eyes never saw another.

Many men, yes many, many men know this fact from fiction.
Just by proclaiming, she loves me despite of many things wrong.
But it up to you to accept and admit your fault.
Despite of being this, she loves me.

Obviously, many of us know she could do better.
Yes, we know this.
Maybe you a racist and she wishes you change.
Maybe you a constant visitor of the prison system.
She loves you, despite of that too.

Within many relationships loyal women loves you despite of your stupidity.
Change to please her.

Truth, told to us to acknowledge.
Those with should never imagine being better without.
They have more problems of pretense.
Those without know the definition of what poor means.
To some meant.

You hear the fools speaks; this doesn't happen here.
But it does but mirror in the words secrets and coverups.
Some of the best affairs is among the rich.
But the news avoids it.
They need a quick terrific story.

Those without might pretend and imagine wealth.
Or adjust to hoping and dreaming.
But they more to help those without.
When they have less?
Then those with seeking attention to their gifts.

Remember, the gift you give to another brag not about.
If it done with love.

My heart so into you.
That to my friends I been called a fool- (concerning you)
But I feel I found this jewel so true.

So, a fool I rather be and I'm not the only one.
My eyes only see you.
And that's the way it should be- (concerning you)
And I'm not tripping.
Because I'm in love.

If many would only admit truth that they are seeking?
Exactly what I have now.
And I'm not tripping.

Sometimes, it takes a fool to make us realize how foolish we are.
A clown stood before many simply pretending and fools soaked in that glory.
What?
A wonderful story.
A man that fits the word hypocrite greatly.

And show the world many religious fools.
Then, who they truly fooling?
A con uses tricks to do it.
And Trump the Clown proved it.

Manipulation is a tool that many people use daily.
Like a woman faking pregnancy with a baby.
Or a man scamming that he is rich.
And Trump the Clown fits this picture quickly.

Who needs morals?
When you elect fools as leaders and their past holds truth that morals not there.

But we let them lead accordingly.
Until destruction comes and then we question our decision.
A fool is a fool until a fool can't see.

That Trump a Clown making fools of you and me.
When a war comes?
And you can't win it.
Blame it upon idiots that thought he was brilliant.

Let not your hatred get you killed.
Let not your stupidity be revealed.

Words from your mouth truly can end your life.
And there is no coming back from it.
And saying you didn't mean it doesn't work.

So, let not your hate end your life.
Words spoken at the wrong time out of rage
Will eventually have your death notice within the paper pages.

Let not your love fade.
It might be the reason your life was saved.

You can't eliminate truth.
No resolution or amendments can.
As long as black parents around.
Black history will be told.

Forget this narrative about splitting of the races.
Black history just exposes the truth to the villains.
And that alone is revealing.

Hanging, we know the race.
Slavery, we know the race.
Evil laws, we know the race.
Bombing of black churches, we know the race.
And never afraid to preach it to your face.

Oh, you don't like the exposure.
But we are covering up your mess.
Just to make you look good.

Dogs turned loose upon protesters
Racists fool acting out.
Black history doesn't fade because you eliminate things.

As long as there is a grandparent, parent, uncle aunt.
Or strong voices to speak it.
It will be told.

Deal with it.

Vanish not, from my heart.
Or you be a floating memory.
That how much you be to me.

Vanish not from my imaginary.
You're the one making me happy.
And that's the only way to be.

In life some must follow and some must lead.
Not all things equal like many like to say.
But we pretend they are.

Vanish not from the truth.
Lies might hurt you.
Truth will not convict you.
Vanish not from heart.

Do you love?
Or do you hate?

Are you a coward?
Refusing to admit your mistakes.

Do you follow God commands?
Or create your own to know?

Do you show respect?
Or upset you doesn't receive it back?

Do you put scriptures of love into action?
Or just create pretense that you do?

You only fooling one fool.
Must we tell you who?

We all put on an act until exposed.

I close my eyes and imagine.
I imagine a world of peace.
I imagine a world of love.
Yes, when I close my eyes.


I live in a world of fantasy hoping it is of truth.
While knowing some live for confusion and lies over truth.

I close my eyes for a purpose
And faithfully pray.
That those with hatred within their heart.
Will let it fade away.

To this should be in everyone prayer.

He did it.
Says who?
Said she but is it true.

He did it.
Says her.
But we are talking about truth and perspective.
Yes, even if it concerns allegation.

Let not the press convicts you.
That what we have juries and courts to do.

He is innocent.
Says who?
Says he fight charges level against him.

Just because she spoke doesn't mean it so.
We are talking about [perspective and truth.
And sometimes lies are told.

Says who?
Say me.

Many been in your shoes.
Where your lights been turned off.
And you say, you have no lights.
Oh, but you do.
Yes, you truly do.

The Almighty planned things just right.
He created stars.
That radiances with glow.

He created the moon that glimmer too.
He created the sun that shines even more.
So, when you think you have light.
Oh, but you do.

Sure, with them out something is limited to do.
Sure, you can't cook like you like.
And some food might get spoil on you too.

But their various forms of light to impress you.

We have stood before fools.
We have stood be for idiots.
To realize they all are politicians.
Some of the best liars in existence.

They act the part so well telling many fabrications.
Just to manipulate various situations.

I have stood before jerks.
I have stood before clowns.
Just to comprehend they careless about our frowns.

Make us wonder.
About folks we elected.

Like ice cream, you melted my heart.
Like ice cream you melted my soul.
Except you affected my life more than you'll ever know.

Chocolate is the only favor I know.
Not vanilla or Neapolitan does it at all.
Except, a few more flavors do get through.

All because I enjoy pleasing you.
Yes, like ice cream do.

Put your trust within me.
And please, forever stand by me.
While you walk with me into love.

You can confide in me.
Tell me every single thing.
When you are happy?
When you are sad?
Just walk with me in love.

We be two creating a heavenly world.
We be one another angel and that be without wings.
A strong bond will guide us forever.
Just trust in me and walk with me in love.

I protect you.
You protect me.
And in one another will be a strong security.

One hundred pennies I held in my hand.
Then I lost one but wasn't too sad.

One whole dollar I held in my hand.
Somehow, I lost it.
Then I was very sad.
Like a child I held my head down.
I was broken.

Then mom spoke.
And a lesson was learned.
While one seems like a lot.

If you lose that one?
You lost a lot.
But with the pennies be thankful for what you got.

It's a lesson learned that I never forgot.

Look within love and see love.
See within love and feel love.
Feel it radiate.
Feel it good surrounded by mistakes.
Just look within love and see love.

It comforts.
It has warmth.
It meant to share.
It truly protects us.

See within love and feel it.
It is hypnotic.
It is magical.
And to some imaginary.

In truth, no twelve, thirteen, or fourteen yrs old should be pregnant.
In truth.
What?
Does truth do?
It hurts.

Sure, it isn't old in any way.
But this something, many of us just got to say.

In truth, church shouldn't be hyping about money.
But pushing the message of scriptures to be known
Of the two one leaves a forever message.

In truth, older adult should be respected.
Especially, if they earned it.
Then you should rightfully grant it.
Some of us grown adults still afraid of our parents

In truth, and it's known.
Kids learn racism from their parents and the environment they accustom too.

And, yes parents, its reflets back upon you.
It a learn illness that will only ruin you.
Yes, it's a mental illness if this section deals with you.

In truth, many should not adapt to loving prison.
And look within many families, it seen to fit this picture.

In truth, many could add to this.
But at this moment, this poem coming to an ending.

You saw the weight; you didn't see the heart.
Are we not a child of God?
You saw the hate; you didn't see the love.
Are we not a child of God?

We, in general concentrate on all the wrong things.
Making minute of wonder about many things.

You saw the race and instantly became enraged.
But you didn't see that trace of love.

And they preach God so love the world to us.
So, what wrong with us in loving?

If we stuck upon all the wrong things.

Sons, you are pushing your mother to the limit.
Locked up, like it's the norm.
She out surviving everything that comes.

Sons, you are robbing, you are stealing, and this is very revealing.
You are not a survival of society.

Women, you must challenge yourself.
Challenge your man to avoid this or that.
Or the relationship not going to last.

Be like old school parents that told their child.

If you go to prison for crimes?
Don't expect a visit.

Too many society ills.
Where many men avoiding honesty and truth.
What decisions you make?
Will seek your image before many.

Don't get locked to start crying and complaining.
Just go the right path.
Sure, it's hard but it's the challenge to obey all laws.

Sure, a few we all fail.
But not everyone qualifies for bail.
Yes, prison is a living hell.
But you a party of society ills.

If I ask you anything serious?
Make my love all your love.
Make it the more important thing over anyone.

Promote it.
Protect it.
Make it to the point that we don't regret it.

If anyone asks us?
Why we are so happy?
Tell this without any apology.
You made my love all your love.

You went the distance.
I went the distance to make our love
And in truth they can't call it selfish.

My love is, anywhere you be.
Yes, anywhere you are.

Hold no doubts.
Hold no fear, anywhere you are stay secure that my love is with you.

You won my heart.
You won much more than even I thought possible.

Hold no doubts.
Hold no fear, anywhere you are, my love with you.

Maybe I given you doubt before.
But you must admit there is no doubt anymore.
So, anywhere you are, will my heart forever be.

You said I didn't love you enough.
I did.
Probably to the point you felt smother.
You had the warmth of my love like the warmth of a cover.

You said I didn't spend enough time with you.
I did.
But it sounds like a form of self-insecurity.

I did more for you than you are willing to admit.
I went above and beyond, and you refuse to admit it.
Simply, you were loved.

And that's probably one of the problems.
I did love you too much.

Stronger than steel.
Even restricted law THEY bring only reveal the hate within them.
Stronger than Iron.
With each racist decision they create.
It exposes them like down through history.

The strength of being black showcase our power.
With less many of us successful.
The strength of being black often seem.

Even when THEY come across mean.
We intimidate them more than they manipulate to intimidate us.
THEY quick to seek peace, if they feel a coming uproar.
The strength of being black, is wonderful.

In modern times folks can't speak.
It's like clean language is a new thing.
Like profanity is the new rage.

B this.
B that, as if clean language hard to do.
F this.
F that.
Or simply F-off.
And unlike the fools that use cultural logic for usage.
They the fools that can't keep it clean.
So, respect the ones that can.

Our mouths only act out, when you lose control.
But you in charge of that effect.

So, respect the ones that can carry on a decent conversation.
You won't do it in church.
You won't do it with a boss against it at work.
Unless they *******, fools and jerks.

Indians, placed on a reservation.
Fact.
Asians during the second war, assigned to a concentration camp sector in America.
Fact.
Black slaves, heritage linked to the horror of plantations.
Jewish folks, assigned, murdered, killed, in devious concertation camps.
Obviously, history scare them that never been.
Why run from truth?

But one day, they eventually must accept.
The group you hate the most contributed the most.
Fact.

Then, they don't do research or accept reality.
Fact.

You can run but you can't hide.
All group mention in the beginning has reasons to smile.
Fact.

We sit there.
We listen.'
Then we hear God spoke to them.
Really, only them.

We hear from others God created him and her.
Which none trying to deny.
But concerning God he created the most important thing.

And it's love.
Which sometimes, folks seem to forget existing among us.
It outweighs any trouble.

In this world like in life.
We like countries that don't get along.
But agree to disagree on certain matters and philosophy.

But it's love that protects and guides us.
Only cowards crying about a soul gender.
But edited God scriptures solely for their purpose.

Let's all recall God said judge not that you be not judged.
Then, we all just people, with our own agenda.
But remember it's love, and this will NEVER ever destroy us.

I am asked, will loving you be sincere.
With my feelings for you be revealed?
If you see my love growing.
If you see my love glowing.

I am asked, so many things
And all mainly concern us.
When they constantly asking me.
Do you see my love beaming.
Do you feel my heart steaming

Whenever we are mentioned to others.
Because they say it's easy to see the various ways you love me.
And the same is stated about me.

And
I am asked when did this all started?
And I explain this is all new to us.
Just to hear this is rooted in love of one another.
And in times we both will discover various reasons to speak.

Maybe, it was your voice, your eyes, your smile.
Which is all physical.
Maybe, it was your brain power that melted my heart by the second to the minute or various hours.

I just know, I am asked just what it was.

When you ask for changes?
You might not like you find.

When you ask for help?
You can't direct how it comes.

When you see wars?
They solely exist because of fools.
Peace scary many.
Why you see leaders trying to avoid it.

And what creates this?
Land religious differences or simply old tradition.
Men push stupidity the most.

When you see truth?
It's only after lies been told and your reputation shot.

So, many when to what?
And what to when?
To establish exactly when it all started.

But in truth, many of us are goodhearted.

We see it.
We see many just standing watching.
When a woman is abuse?
When a man is killed?
When a child is abuse?

You know the do-nothing types.

Oh, be not shocked.
Fear showcases many cowards in society.

We got it, took a good Samaritan to help a fallen soul.
Out of kindness that soul reached out and helped.
Requested nothing from anyone.

So, some of us wear bravery upon our chest.
Neer label into the did nothing types in society.
Who after the pain?
Loves crying, they should have done this or done that.

But in truth still just talking the talk.
Unless it deals with them.

You felt like you were trapped into something you didn't want to be.
So, like an eagle flying free, I let you seek your freedom.
Let you go out and enjoy what you thought was fun.
And they ask me why?

Because it long been known what don't want to stay.
Will in the end only bring pain your way.
So, I rather keep my peace of mind going fourth.
Still, I get asked why?

But to love the one you love.
You have to let life be a teaching lesson.
And hope in time they see the bigger picture.

That love holds no one prison but a fool.
Because like anyone seeking freedom, you must realize it always yours.

Some, are good
Some are great.
Some are bad.
Child memories exist.

Maybe, thinking about standing on the bus stop as a kid.
With your mom/dad or sibling.
All being your protector.

Waving to the parents as the bus departs.
Childhood memories reflect greatly from the heart.

Might be time with grandparents or dad and mom.
They exist to share.

Could be centered around your favorite teacher or instructor.
Maybe, even you're on-time minister.
Or learning to fish.

When older?
Childhood memories you just don't forget.

Now, that you are gone.
I realizes I could have treated you better.
And now I regrets it sincerely.
I guess I have so many regrets.

I cry when I think of you.
And many ask what is wrong?
I just keep reflecting through my tears.
That I could have done way better.

Sure, you confide in me certain things.
Things you wish could be.
And not all your sadness falls upon me.
But doing certain times I was your ear.

One of a few that supported you.
Still, I have so many regrets.
Whenever I think of you.
