What More?
jeffrey conyers Dec 2013
Daddy got the ***.
Mama got the cola.
Had me wondering?

Then they mixed it up and stir it more.
Then they took a drink.
And said, mmmmmmmmmm.
Had me thinking?

Then they offer me some eggnog.
And a chance to get cookies out of the cookie jar.
Had me smiling?

While I'm enjoying the moment.
I notice my parents going in for  another mixture of their drinks.
Had me pondering?

As the Christmas music played along for hours.
I soon saw my parents was passed out.
Had me investigating just what that drink was about?

Then I realize, I had the roam of the house all to myself.
To call Santa and talk to his elves.
And to request that upon delivering toys that they bring my parents a drinkable gift.

What more could I ask for?

A Sad Situation
jeffrey conyers Jan 2014
Oh, mostly all of us grew up saying our dad could whop your day.
It never went further than us saying the words.
Nothing like this modern generation.
Where parents think it must lead to confrontation?

Parents of old acted on wisdom.
Cause a child of theirs stated a conflict.
Most parents wanted to look into  it.
Cause stories, aren't always the same.

Then our teachers wasn't trying to prey.
Mostly likely they was asking you to pray.

Kids of thugs and various drug dealers aren't all bad.
But you best believe two parents works together to control the rules.
Wasn't either one was going to be manipulated.

Nothing like this modern generation.
Where parents young wants to be their friend?
While we aware that they was our parents first.

And first name basis wasn't to be used.
Unless you was introducing them to your friends.
We knew our limitation.

Looking, at most young parents today.
Many are letting the child control  many things.
We wasn't going to get all the toys we wished for.
More likely heard, we should be grateful or thankful.

Drugs, recreation wasn't controlling our parents thoughts.
Not to say, they was complete perfect.
But we knew, what was expected?
And excuses wouldn't do.
Not , if you got kicked out of school for fighting.
Or disrespecting the teacher.

Even, if the adult was completely wrong.
They taught you to come to them with this conflict.
And they would look into it.
To solve it.

Kids, today faces similar things.
Except probably more of them have parents locked away.
And some are raised by their grandparents.
Who in away brings them some foundation?

Yes, many modern kids, are facing a sad situation.
jeffrey conyers Sep 2016
You tell me , you love me in one breath.
Then get angry and take the saying all back.

You tell me, our love should be our foundation.
Then get angry and makes it a different situation.

Listen, love isn't a momentarily thing.

If you not real.
If you not sincere.
Then tell me now.

Love, has its bumps in the road.
But the path after should be a path of joy.
If only, you could understand this.

I'm Following Jesus
jeffrey conyers Dec 2015
Some changes hurts others.
Even if it's to benefit you.
Some will drag you down.
Spread rumors all around town.

If you changed your life around for the glory of you.
And others hates your views and perspectives.
Just say , "I'm following Jesus".

Maybe, you were a drug dealer.
Maybe, you was a woman selling her body.
Maybe, you was various things in society that led you wrongly.

But once, you wise up and accepted your past to change.
Let none you know formerly in your past stop you from saying...
I'm following Jesus.

His life, his path serves a purpose.
His death served a reason.

It leaves a everlasting effect upon you.

Fear(Be Warned)
jeffrey conyers Jun 2013
Shots ring out in the neighborhood around a crowd.
But no one saw a thing when a victim's went down.
And when the law comes to investigate the situation.
All the witnesses that were their.
Pretends to be blind or acting mute.
Stop protecting the criminals.

Living in fear hadn't done a single thing for anyone.
Except, let the criminals hide and run.
You're only as safe as you want to be.

We need to quit blaming the law enforcers for our fault.
When information is needed.
We make the wrong choices.

When you find those that loves to play bad.
Then, let them find out behind the walls of a prison.
Some guilty and some innocence.

We find folks living in fear.
When there's no need to be.
Thing of those that stood up to crooks.
Even, if it took their life.
To make us feel secure at night.

In days of old.
Children's was warned not to have the police knocking on the door.
But in present times, some see it as an honor.

Be warned.
A son that violate the law made his own choice.
Be warned.
A daughter that broke the rules too.
Decided to visit a path against our legal rules.

Be warned.
The best protection for some is the law.
Because you might run into a legalize gun holder.
That pulled the trigger ending your sibling or child life.

So Many Ways to Love
jeffrey conyers Sep 2012
A parent has so many ways to love.
The best is being unselfish.
A lover has so many ways to love.
Except, they must be centered on one.

A quality that we all posses within our heart.
Seems to constantly be over looked.
Until you find someone to connect too.

A child has so many ways to love.
Simply by understanding ways to give.
Their hearts are very giving and unselfish.
Notice, how quickly they tries to help.
jeffrey conyers Mar 2014
Love, let me be the one to share you.
When others find various ways to blame you.
For their sadness.
For their headache.
For their heartbreak.
For their mistakes.

Love, let me be the one to protect you.
Lift up your importance for others to see.
To know.
To care.
To love and to have.

Blame, does not lie with you.
When people treat themselves as a fool.
When others uses you to be attracted to others.

Love, let me be your protector.

First Female President
jeffrey conyers Mar 2014
Whether she's a Democrat.
Whether she's Republican or independent.
It would be GREAT to have a female president.

Where Congress of men would have to stand to honor her?
Where you would wonder, if Secret Service would be operated by a woman.
Where Southern politicians will show their old traditional ways?
Where many still think, a woman should stay in their supposedly place.

Where churches would debate?
If she should war dresses or pants.
Yes, many still have this discourse within the Temple of God house.

Where many would love to call her husband First man?
Or First spouse.
Where many would be offended if she visit another country?
And have to walk behind a male leader because of tradition.
Or because of protocol.

Oh, it would be Great to see her approach to important decision.
Especially dealing with a house of males.
Where they would feel inferior?
Then begin to question her decision.

Women of the world will support her.
Even those that's conservative.
Will come to adore her.

Her spouse would feel like a King.
Cause he's standing by the lady he call his Queen.
Who happen to be the First female president of the free world?

Strangest thing about her would be.
You will hear various people say negative things.
But all presidents has had this said.

This is the best challenges to motivate them.

The Soothing Tongue

Oh, we aware of the wrath of the tongue.
Where with swiftness?
It quickly attacks while holding nothing back.

But on the other hand, it's a relaxing and soothing *****.

Whenever a tooth begins to ache?
It takes over to soothe the pain in various ways.

With a soft and tender rub, it calm the hurt.
Strange as it seems it mainly works.

That soothing tongue that gets so much blame.

You won't date a man without a car.
Even , if he has a sincere heart.
And money to catch a bus.

You can't fford to pay your bills.
You're hoping for a hustler to pay yours.

What you need to do?
Is get yourself together.
And change your view.

You have lost many good men that wanted to know you.

You put on a great smile.
And plays the part of someone good.
But, it's just a front too many that truly knows you.

You have met your match in your latest catch.
The problem with it.
He realize, you don't have a sincere heart,
And he has a car.

Which goes to show.

He seeks too.
He just refused to see the good within you.

Which is a sincere heart.

Whether she's healthy.

Good Morning, God
jeffrey conyers Feb 2011
Good morning, God.
I'm here to serve your will.
What plans must I expect, from you?

Who's in need, of the good news?
Is it the minister?
Who seems confused on the scriptures?
As he preach to the congregation.

Well, that would be hard because they the teachers.
And, I hadn't see one yet willing to admit they need help.

Is it the sinner?
Who can make some saints see a different view?

But, that's a good sign when someone challenge you.
We must now the word to spread the word.
But be willing to accept others might know a little bit more.

I have always ponder the minister's that question the thelogian teacher.
Who educated them on things within the holy book?
And once they get assigned to preach than they offering us their own personal word.

We hear constantly on, how we're robbing God in Malachi?
But getting people to accept that ten percent of their earning goes to the Lord many just don't buy.

They state it's like buying the word.
When Jesus stated go out and spread the word.
Not once did he say for money.
Of course don't turn  it down if it put a person's on solid ground.

The church isn't  made because of a foundation.
Don't matter what anyone say?
It made because of the people.
Who constantly continue to pray?

The Word was hear long before a building was form.
And, if it gets destroyed the Word will be here.
Even after the ruins.

Good morning ,God.
I didn't mean to preach.
I just wanted your opinion on my sermonize speech.

So, please forgive me lord.

The Saint and the Sinner

The saints sits in church and talk about the sinner.
While the sinner judge the saint.
The saint sits and notice the ones that dress precise.
While the sinners notice the saints pretense.

Who hadn't notice those marry looking in heat?
All the while as the minister preach.

A world of pretense all gather together for the word.
Leaving the sincere if it was ever heard.

The sinner came to be saved.
Just to notice certain saints hindering them.
While the saint goes on acting like nothing wrong.
Singing highly about the Lord through a variety of songs.

When services is all concluded and done.
Watch how they shake the hands of everyone mostly.

Because next Sunday they have to act this part out again.
jeffrey conyers Mar 2014
You know you have heard it.
Many have said it.
You're your mother daughter.

Simply, by the way you act.
Simply, by the things you say.
Simply, by looking like her.

You might admit to it.
You might deny it.
Realize that many doesn't buy it.
Cause they are quick to say, you're your mother daughter.

Then they might add the word, alright.
You act just like her in trying to get your way.
Then, you might reply.
I'm glad to be my mother's daughter.

Teens(Don't Rush It)
jeffrey conyers Jan 2014
You think they're hard.
You think they are mean.
When they only looking out for you.
Which some only learn after having a kid or two.

Then they must honest adapt to strict rules.

Trying to grow up fast.
Has derailed many of teens.
Who didn't listen to their parents rules?

Stay in school.
Come home on time.
Don't be disobedience.
Which you will expect for your own child.

Yes, you give them mouth.
But many parents shut that down.
As long as you under their roof.
Your rules don't apply.

Which many teen has known has made them be called a wonderful child.

Parents that know that they are parents first.
And friends seconds seem comprehending that notation.
While many seem confuse by the remark dealing with the situation.

You don't party will your children.
It just a unwritten rule.
As you don't disrespect your parents.
If you like living like many kids do.

We all know the phase spoken so often.
I brought you into this world.
And I'll take you out.

Notice teens upon the news for being foolish.
Many in jail hoping parent will seek bail.
Then some already know their parents hearts.
If you're there.
Then there you will be.
If you have follow wise advice.
Then you still be free.

And for those will child.
They more restrained.
You're now a teen parent and can't dictate a single thing.

Unlike when you wasn't a parent.
With more freedom to do.
All any parent request of their child.
Is to follow rules.

All parents has been where you been?
And seen what you seen?
So trying to be grown before its time.
Means you're in the wrong.

Don't rush adulthood.
Don't rush it at all.
Cause responsibility will be waiting when you turn eighteen.

Trickery of the mind.
Where anything is stated?
And the unwised fool with buy as truth.

Do one political party think they have family's value over the other?
Because they push value and other lies before you.
Where your candidate of choice offer falsehood to you?

Then when caught in a scandal of illicit affair.
They feel the need to defend themselves when possible.
Pushing faith which they eventually forgot.

Then , can you blame them?
When many citizens, are fools.
The manipulation of the mind begins when politicians open their mouth.

They know, what to say?
How to say it?
And when to speak it.


Before the so call righteous saints.
Stand on faith, family and moral corruption.
Cause many listen has faced moral explosion.

Least , they buy into false truth.
Until their story is told.

Before the poor talk about making things better.
Although this group is the group that don't fall for lies easily.
They seen it.
And been lied to before.

Before the business community.
Which is made up of embellezzers and cheaters and the best bribe committee.
Speak of smaller government and of course corporate taxes.
And be straight lace conservative.

Notice their connection to many crook and honest politicians.

The manipulation of the mind starts when they run for elected office.
By then , they have the fools money in their collection.

That's one reason many becomes politicians.

Where else?
Can you lie multiple times.?
And the mention of the Ten Commandments isn't mention anything.
Except when it affect churches and schools.

Then they use it, use it.
Until it makes news.

Strict means, for the fools.
Cause when you look around.

Long when you're gone.
And we think of you.
We realize the various things we put you through.
Even the best of the best must confess this.
We take you for granted.

Honor and respect you honestly have earned.
From the love you shown.
From providing us a home.
For sacrifices you have made.
Really,again for various things.

If we should list upon papers the positive against the negative.
We realize the pluses out weigh the minuses.

Is over looked and not cherish kindly.

Then one day you'll wake up.
And be lonely.
Many men of wicked ways has lost their blessings .

When they smile more.
While they frown more.
They seem more joyful.
While their joy is dormant.

A sad woman lost.
Is a good woman blessing.

We have found joy when we wasn't even searching.
When they came before us and restored love to us.

But by true love we are blinded.
Copyrighted love.
The kind that produce copies.

You own sole rights to my heart.
You're the only published artistic creation of my soul.
You control the rights to my copyrighted love.

Virtous Woman
jeffrey conyers Aug 2012
The highest of standards you process.
With good morals supporting that.
You're an excellence example of a good woman.

The kind many men uses and abuses.
Just to creep to a loose value kind.
How could they be led by the blind?
When they have someone of your kind.

You carry yourself with class.
Which wins you high respect.
You this virtous woman.
That many guys seek.
Except they come across weak.

You represent womanhood highly.
Similar to respect a child gives their mother.
You a virtous woman.
Sometimes called, Lady Respect.

The split up.
Does has an affect on a child.
They debate on custody affects them more.

Where you once have parents surrounding you?
You now have one closely connected to you.
And they fighting over splitting up material stuff.

Not even concern about your personal health.

Where else?
Do you hear about physical and emotional custody?
Where it truly comes down to financial?

We, who believe that a united front solves things?
Knows, even during a divorce this bond shouldn't change.

Let not the child be a tool to be used.
In the dispute between the parents of a child.
Where in time they will try to blame one another?

When the child's seems lost and alone?
All because their happy home is gone.
Watch, how money ruin it all?

And, the child wonder what's going on?

Soon, they be in therapy.
Where parents are seeking reasons for their silent ways?
And it took spending money to find this out.

Just remember, the child at one time had two parents in the house.
And, now he's torn between parental split up.
Six months here.
Six months there.
Re-adjusting to another change.

Oh, the life of a divorce child.
Where you tossed around?
Where you're treated like a piece of paper?
All because of the split up.

Is loving a child first hard to do?
They once was the joy between two and not one.

Mistakes
jeffrey conyers Oct 2012
If I knew then.
What I know now>
Somewhere along the line mistakes would have been made.
For, who hadn't stated one thing?
And done another after saying they have changed.

A constant cheater doesn't always change.
They say they will.
And go on by their merry old ways.

A constant liar begins to tell the truth.
But believing them means you must request some type proof.

Yes, mistakes we must learn from.
But there are times when you still fall into the same trap.
Even , if I knew then.
What I know now?
I might be able to apply some logic to not be let down.

We all are human.
And far from devine.
It's what makes us wants to do better next time.

I Saw Santa
jeffrey conyers Dec 2013
Suddenly, without expectation.
There he was.
Friendly, jolly little fella that many called Santa.

Standing within the room with various presents.
Next to him was two little elves.
Two little people barely shorter than him.

One a female.
One a male.
Helping out the jolly little fella.

They didn't see me pretending to sleep.
Seeing the sight of Santa has always been a dream of a child.
Just to imagine him took over my imagination.

All the stories told to different in opinions.
But many was exactly like I remember.
Except, one of the person looked like Mom or Dad.
I never heard of them in any Santa stories

So, I dose off to sleep after my dream came true.
I have seen Santa like I never knew.

He was joyful.
He was kind.
And magical too.
Cause I imagine in my sleep that he rose through the Chimney unto the roof.
So when people question, if  he's real?
Ask me?
I'm living proof.
That all kids parents, are Santa too.
Some just refuses to tell you.

Affairs of Regret
jeffrey conyers Jun 2013
From a president to a senator.
We hear them speak about affairs of regret.
Without saying, they got caught up in the moment.

From the husband down to his spouse.
Many only regret the affairs of regret.
Only when they first get found out.

Cause it was fun when it begin.
And it's forever a good memory in your head.
Just don't mention it doing an argument.
Cause you might be in for a surprise.
When they speak about their visitors.

And the only affairs of regret..
Might just be only yours.

Open Racism
jeffrey conyers Sep 2015
Oh, there's not a country that don't have open racism.
It's breed in many regions and societies.
Except some confronts it.
Aware of reprisal to come.

While others embraces it.
Until they exposed on video or audio by some.

One race seem to be mastered of stupidity.
Cause they surrounded by various fools that let it floats around them.
Notice, how quick they speaks out when that bigot is busted?

Oh, its in politics.
It's in within many businesses.
And breed within multiple police departments.

From the top until the bottom.

Open racism, stands out like cancer.
It spreads quickly and faster than lightning.
Until its met by thunder of someone.

Then notice all the pleasantry toward the racist.
They  not a bad person.
Many misunderstood their views.
Yes, support for a fool.
Then many, are we?

Scriptures, contains them too.
And many ministers doesn't address this truth..
Afraid certain members might leave.

But never play to a disease.
Not if you're preaching love in Jesus name.

The joy I gave you then.

Blissful.

The way we act now.
Is the same as in the beginning.
Except better.
The way we love now.
Is the same it was then.
Only better.
Blissful.

We can only improve upon it.

Look At You Now
jeffrey conyers Mar 2014
You were the one that never got picked.
Almost like the girl at an invitational dance.
You were the one always chosen last.
Similar to the child's football player with limited skills.

Look at you now.
You are the envy of various ladies in town.
Those that were, is trying to be.
Those that claim to be, never amounted to anything.

So, look at you now.
You're respected in important corners around.
It's not that you changed.
In several truths, you're still the same.

You didn't adjust to fit in the "in group" squad.
You stayed yourself.
Which wasn't all that hard.
Cause you always been yourself.

Now, look at you.
You're the prettiest bride around.

The Truth Hurts
jeffrey conyers Nov 2012
Don't ask.
If you don't have a thick skin.
Cause some of us pull no punches with the truth.

Do you think this?
Or do you think that?
If you're asking.
Then you want an answer.
And the truth hurts.
If it's not the answer you're seeking.

We all can't sugar goat it to stay fair.
Some of us throw it out to land where it must land.

You must ask yourself.
Can you handle it.
Cause the truth hurts.

The Cheater's Truth
jeffrey conyers Jun 2012
I'm never amazed.
By the things you see.
Or even know.
But birds of a feather truly sticks together.

Similar to cheaters trying to cover for one another.
And after being hurt and used.
Tries to admit the one they hurt was their true lover.

Oh, they twist the facts here and there.
To try to explain their mistakes.
They even apologize.
To get sympathy upon their side.

The facts still remains.
They hid behind lies.
And walked around disguised.
As if the spouse was at fault.

When in reality.
It was them.
Along with their accomplish.
Creating a disturbance.

Say Merry Christmas
jeffrey conyers Dec 2015
Stand firm.
Stay true
When you say Merry Christmas and offenders wants to hit you with lawsuits.

Other religious wants to celebrate theirs.
As if you must adjust yours.

Long before others started to cry and complain.
Saying Merry Christmas ranks close to saying Happy Birthday.

Stand your ground.
Stand behind your voice.
If they can celebrate theirs.
Then you can celebrate yours.

Say, Merry Christmas, but don't forsake this season's more about the Lord.

Far Away Dreams
jeffrey conyers Aug 2012
Distance they say.
Make your heart grow fonder.
And in many ways.
It makes your heart just wonder.

Now, if the love for your lover is real.
It will stay sincere.

Oh, those far away dreams.
Where you constantly thinking of many things?

To miss someone.
And be missed too.
Is truly a blessful event.
That leaves an impression upon you.

When requested by an emergency to be close.
That when nothing can stop you the most.
No mountains.
No valleys or hills.
Will get in your way.

Think of those soldiers.
Who are far away?
They have far away dreams.
Everytime they pray.

Think of the missionaries.
Trying to assist those in needs.
They have far away dreams.
Each and every day.

We might not see all dreams to come true.
I do know.
We all have dreams that seems far away.

The World Is Too Sensitive
jeffrey conyers Jul 2015
Those with thick skins doesn't hurt easily.
But if asked to agree, they would say, the world is too sensitive.
Talk about the president.
Some'll get mad.

Talk about a past president.
Some one gets upset.
Mention stereotype of any race.
And that defense shield will arise.

The world is too sensitive especially to my ears, and mind.

Talk about any controversial matter.
You find vocal folks with opinions that matter.
Speak about God grace and off to the races we go.

Cause we all know the world is too sensitive.
I'm just telling you so.

The Days of Being Young
jeffrey conyers Jan 2013
White beans.
Pinto beans.
Even turnip greens
Or lima beans with hot water country bread make from scratch.
Left an impression upon you as you reflects back.

With children's so picky about food they like.
They would have been thankful for , what they had to eat at night?

Wendy's, Mcdonald's, or any other fastfood.
You only saw it only Friday mostly.
It just wasn't a selected choice.

When you would rush home to see the meal being prepared.

Yes, the days of being young.
You look back and realize , how bless you was?

We all should salute our moms.
And in some cases back then.
Even our dads.

The days of being young.

Tri-cycles still are better then a Big Wheel.
Even the simple bicycles back in the day.
Stands out better then some of these high prices bikes today.

You use your imagination.
And mainly knew all your neighbors.

From the Postman to the Mother Patrol.
Who knew them that lived next door?
Not all was creeps.
Even if one of the house might have creeped you out.

You knew church.
Oh, how you knew church?
That's the one place mom made sure you knew.

And, if pushed by dad refusal to attend.
He made you know it too.

Gosh, the days of being young.
I wouldn't change them for anything.
But, why should I?

When they make up this poem.

Rumor(Just Keep On Rollin')
jeffrey conyers Aug 2012
Words stated without proof,
Can create stress?
And gulit for the parties involved.

Without a proof of evidence.
You're spreading strictly fiction.
Without facts.

Still rumors.
Just keep on rollin' from the tip of their tonques.

Strange stares.
Those odd looks.
Have you ponderin' if they might be true.
Or , least if those spreadin' them is jealous of you.

Still rumors.
Keep on rollin' from the tip of their tonques.

Its been stated.
You shouldn't accuse.
If you aware it's not true.
Because they might react to confirm it.

Still rumors kept on a comin'.

Others states to et it go.
But that to some is confirmation.
You got somethin' goin' on.

Then , there a few.
Who treated  it as  good news?
That those spreadin' them.
Must be jealous of you.

Besides, rumors just kept on comin'.

Who's Going To Stop Me
jeffrey conyers Nov 2013
Its been said some people don't like to hear Merry Christmas.
But I'm going to say it.
Besides, who's going to stop me?

Who's going to violate my first amendments right?
Just who?
Courts, politicians can decide this or that.
Facts, still remains, I'm going to say Merry Christmas.

Some say, Happy Hanukkah.
Some say, Happy Kwanza.
Some say, Happy Holidays.
While I say Merry Christmas.

There's various reasons given to ,why they complains?
But in my perspective I have nothing to explain.
Accept, what I say.
As I accept, what you say.

Without making the Christmas' Season seems worse because of things we say.
Especially, when I say Merry Christmas.
And like I said, who's going to stop me?

A New Adjustment
jeffrey conyers Dec 2014
I love him.
I love him.
Although he's beating on you.

I need him.
I need him.
Although he's cheating on you.

I want him.
I want him.
Although he don't want you.

The first step to being strong.
Is learning to be stronger not to hold on.
In all these scenario spoken above.
Deals mostly with a person that hates to be alone.

One is controlling.
Then all three might be.
But anytime love become abusive and physical its time to move on.

Then one is about insecurity.
The comfort of having someone you feel you need.
When in truth you might come to a different conclusion.

Want and need is two different things.
But in life it's nothing but a new adjustment.

The Star Player
jeffrey conyers Aug 2012
Why didn't the star player play?
Many question's the decision of the coach.
Rumor circulated he was jealous.
Rumor circulated he was confused.
Some even spoke of the player breaking a rule.

After, the game they asked the coach.
But, he remained silent.
Or reflected the questions.

When they asked the star player.
Even, he didn't speak.
They just couldn't figure out.
Why play a player?
Who's obviously weak at the game?

Then, they started talking to the weak player.
Who have replaced the star?
He gave honors and gratitude to the star.
Who let him play in his place?

He stated, the star player.
Wants folks to remember.
It's just a game.

While some see winning.
As everything.
While friendship is built,
from the memories of the game.
