Some use the tagline with pride.
So decries it.
Least being label an African American.
Some truly with all honesty tries to sell it.

While others state the American of African descent.
This should be the end of the debate about being African American.

To those that offer an honest perspective with the truth.
If you from Africa and becomes an American citizen.
Then you honestly African American.
No denying this.

You from the continent.
A black American that never been.
In all truth is Americans of African descent.

But then this here or there.
Be whatever makes you happy?

Deception, we all try it.
Hiding this.
Hiding that.
Twisting messages of lies from fiction to facts.

Hoping nobody's notice it.
But there's always one you can't deceive.
They know you're lying from the things you say.

Deception, where you hope to scheme?
Without having consequences to pay.
Cause, as always, in the end when truth emerges.
There's always a price to pay.

Whenever you using deception?

Criminal minds faces reality.
A prisoner sits behind walls summarizing his case.
Without comprehending your decision put you in this place.

Maybe from ******.
Maybe from robbery.
Maybe from ****.
Maybe from various illegal crimes.

You , now ask for counsel to get you off.
Crying to family's members about your circumstances behind the prison walls.

Crying about rules and regulations governing you.
And the correctional officers enforcing them as required.
But while you pondering this or that about serving your time.

Remember, your decision placed you there.
Not your mother, not your father, not your woman.

Religiously, you into it.
Similar to the scriptures that you read about.

You believe.
You confirm it.
That you're deeply romantic.

Others quickly give up on love.
While you deeply, deeply promote it.
You love the look of love between couples.
Cause you're deeply romantic.

To the deepness of the sea you are willing to go.
If love was there to be captured once more.
A ticket to space, you are willing to purchase.
If it means love will forever be born.

Deep within, examine yourself.
Do you hate?
And if so?
Why?
Are you basing it on deep-rooted rumors?
Or partial truth.

Yes, deep within examine yourself?
Do you love?
Seek to be love?
Want to be love?
Or simply reaching out to love.
Deep within yourself.
Only you know the answer.

Our heart mirrors our minds.
Although we try to separate the two sometimes.

But deep within us lies all our answers.

Oh, when battles are lost?
And wars are won.
Some remain defeated.

In love, in relationships.

Defend something that makes sense?
Defend it?
Accept it?
Don't defend the second amendment because of the right to own guns?

Especially, the wrong type.

Defend truth.
Defend it.
In the end, this is what will exonerate you?

A fabrication eventually will fade.
All because truth resolves everything.

Defend, a woman from assault.
What has violence bought to anyone?
A memory of what if?
I should have type phases.

Defend love.
As much as folks deny it.
It's simply too powerful.

All these words fitting of you.
What devilish thing I could have said?
I just kept to myself.
Reserved for my pleasure to know and no one else.

This my definition of a woman to me.

Someone, anyone, deliver me from love.
It only breaks your heart.
I think it enjoying tear your life apart.

Here this emotion that you give your all.
Just to soon realize the other was just an actor.
Enjoying the compensation and the benefits.

And when it falls apart?
There are many you don't feel the need to call.
Some will come with advice that's way too late.
So deliver me from love.
That's all I truly want.'

Not again, am I willing to feel this hurt?
And believe me, love hurts so much.
But once the pain slowly fades away.

You begin to see the radiance of joy once more.
Being in love is worth more than gold.
It's priceless when you have a significant one in your life.

Following, a star takes a man able to adapt to it.
You did it.
Hits proved it.

Unlike your predecessor, you weren't the microphone ****** or splits master.
But what you were?
Was a bright star unknown who excel behind him?

Sure, you changed the color tone of the group.
But your legacy stands out in bringing the Temptations a new style.
Which eventually brings honor to the group.

If Ruffin was the Martin Luther King of singing with a religious message.
Then obviously, you was the Jesse Jackson shouter with a theme.
Until you listen to the song "Memories" and many wonders if that's you singing.

Oh, legends usually leave their path of honors upon a group.
And when the group is honored by imitation Temps, your hits like others is your blueprint.

Heaven has gathered together all the leads of the Temptations to say up above, we all Are blessed.

Many has turn from him only to turn back.
And he waits(Awaits)
For their returns.

Many has denied him.
Similar to like his disciple's had done.

But if you're living in truth.
Yes, honest truth.
Deny him not, you wouldn't do.

For when you think of your blessings.
You must accept he supported you through all of them.
Deny him not, do not, do not.
Deny him.

For he been a gift of joy to all of us.

Love, went looking and found love
Love went searching and found you.

Deny it.
Deny the truth.

That you been captured by a special someone.
Someone you call your lover.

Love, went knocking and you welcome it.
To the point that you cherished it.

Something, so simple?
Can be so hard when depending on someone else?
So depend on yourself.

You never let yourself down.
But others will you.

when
how
why
We all have request this from someone.
Just depends upon the subject.

Wait!
It's time we deport our best know hero back to space.
Where his birth certificate?
Cause we very aware he was adopted.
When was he sworn in as an American citizen?

Wait!
And the man in charge now talked about Obama.
And he was born here.
Although birthers live in denial.

Wait?
Are we just going to pass him through cause truth, justice, and this America way phase?

So he is a hero?
One the whole world know.
So what?
He used his alien born powers to avoid military duties.
And many presidents have too.

But in truth deporting him wouldn't solve anything.
He made heroes a great thing for others to be.
He's honorable.
He represents dreams for citizenship for others with dreams.

Depth, of my heart has no limitation.
Every moment with you leads to a conversation.
Us together creates a wonderful situation.

These arms of mine loves holding you.
I could never imagine you ever been untrue.
To myself personally you're a dream come true.

And depth of my heart will always love you.

Be it her.
Be it him.
Many times, we just say we do.

Then if pushed to describe why?
That's the part seem hard to do.
When it's the one we standing before we love.

Describe why?
Why you love them deeply?
Describe their importance to you.
Yes, describe why?

Why they make you feel vital to them?
Why you go out of your way to do for them the things you do?
And in return they might describe why they truly loves you?

Say it.
Write it.
Describe it too.
Love importance has made many acts like a fool

Now that she's smiling again.
You try to cut her down.
Make her feel insecure within herself.
But now i'm around.
The one responsible for her smile.

Just to mention my name.
Makes her smile even more.
And whenever i'm around her there so much more to explore.

So be aware to not hurt her.
She so wonderful.
And deserving of so much more.

And i plan to be the one to give the world to her.

If we, you.
Refuse to release your taxes.
Or file them.
You most likely will face trouble.
Well, unless you're Mister T.
Who?
Hadn't released hi in years.

It's the unwritten rule.
Only designed for a few.

God made woman according to his plans.
Which we are very aware are totally different than any man.
Those eyes.
Those lips.
Are a attractional map.

God made women a little wiser than man.
Altho' they say behind every good man.
Is a good woman.
Four words spoken with truth and honesty.

For without women.
What would a man truly be?

His designing of women was done with great detail.
Some to this day.
Still can manipulate a male.
Which isn't exactly a bad thing.
Ask a wife.
Who wearing a wedding ring?

Designing woman.
I could never do.
I be trying to change the qualities God placed within you.
And that's love.
Which God spirit is made of.

You worth loving.
Just like you were worth seeking.

You worth having.
Just like you're worth pleasing.

You're desirable.
Every second, minute of the hour.
You're very desirable to me.

You beneficial in various ways.
Some ways, that I quietly think about..

You're attractive.
You're effective too.
Others should seek some exactly like you to love.

Then, there's only one of you.

The words you're about to read is true.
We read about a variety of people in the news.
Some rich.
Some famous.
Some poor just like us.

Despite of this.
Many must know they are truly loved.
When the woman of their choice.
Could easily pack up and move on.

Despite of the crooked cop that brought shame.
She stayed.
Despite of the adulterous politicians holding on to his cheating ways.
She stayed.

Despite of the crime committed that made her man a prisoner with a felony.
She stayed.
Yes, despite of various things in her life that brought shame.
She stayed.
Yes, despite of these things.

Some might say , it's her emotional attachment.
Which is often the case when others put in their opinions.
Without comprehending that one of the days.
They might be in her shoes.
And must decide these things too.

Oh, to those that stays with those abusive kinds.
I can't fathom, what's inside her mind?
Because within this world of God.
More men are very kind.

So men, despite of the things, we might do.
Or hadn't done.
You should honor your woman with the title of being number one.

She loves you despite of the things you do.
To many she's a living example of a fool.
All because she choses to stand by you.

She hear the whispers and the rumors.
And barely respond.
She's not the kind to harm anyone.

She have shown kindness to those that speaks negative about her.
To many that's the worse part of her.
But she wasn't raised to be unkind.

She could walk away anytime she likes.
But you're the one she sworn her love too.
Even if you're not deserving of her all all.

She loves you despite of the things you do.
Which should bring a change in you.

My heart.
It lies, wherever you at?
My mind.
It lies, wherever you be?
I'm longing for you.
At night within my dreams.
My destiny is you.

Like a journey I wants to be apart.
You're that journey lingering in my heart.
I'm longing for you.
Destiny, I'm coming to you.

When?
That remains to be known.
Why?
Cause you're connected to my love inside.

If I'm going to travel.
There's going to be a reason to go.
And if you're by my side.
That would be just as nice.

For without you.
It would be a sad ocassion.
And I won't find any relaxation.
When I would be thinking of you.
My Destiny.

Yes, I'm longing for you.

Strange, as it seem.
Shocking to hardly anyone.
When its seen.
When its known.

That the destruction of mankind lies, at the male population feet.

Wars, created by man.
Gangs retributions , coming from man.
Terrorism against others from whatever reason?
Always mainly, at the hands of man.

Look, how history points out the abuse of power by those in charged.

Always growing daily for reasons of twisted views.
And mostly led by bright minded fools.

Don't be shocked.
Don't be surprised.
Just be amazed by the feelings coming your way.

Do accept?
Do understand?
All the things I do to keep you smiling.
It might a joke.
It might be a smile.
It might be anything joyful that popup in my mind.

Cause I determine to keep the fire burning like before.
I will be your fire warming up your soul.
Cause I am determined to be the only vision you ever have known.

I am not a magician with any tricks.
You won't find me pulling any rabbits out a hat.
But if I could reach in and pull out anything.

It is the only thing I know.
It's love.
It's love.

To a child.
They are the greatest guys you know.
Many are determine to be the best example.

To a child.
We aspire to be many times like them.
Because many are better than it appears.

To a child.
We remember their direct approach to truth.
A simple lie had you facing him.

Dad.
The man that placed us first in his life.
Sure there are some in this society that might not measure up.
But I'm not speaking of them in this poem.

Altho' a relation's connection is not always about money.
As certain people loves to holler.

Dad.
That man we know went the distance.
To get you the smallest of thing to make you smile.
You instantly respected him.
And was determine not to ever let him down.

From somewhere being connected to him.
Made you learned a valuable lesson.

He might not always rank high like a mother.
He made a point to alert you.
You were his son and not his brother.

Any failure that you seen.
Wasn't seen in his personality.
Because he wanted you to succeed.

And he pushed you harder in your dreams.

Genuine
A word that ring with truth.
Sometimes, may you question those claiming friendship with you.

Those that down with you?
Doesn't adjust because of pressure coming to you?
Those become dictated friendship.

We, see protest tossed to entertainers in various friends?
And this showcase friend that false and those that are real.
Sure, some distancing themselves to protect their careers.

But true friends don't abandon you.
They go the distance pointing out to others other qualities about you?
Show me, one perfect person walking among us?

You must admire the ones that don't cut and run?
Especially when various troubles come.
To them dictate friendship doesn't exist.
They there through thick and thin.

Remember when?
When a few members of the Nazis troop tried to **** the ****** man
Least they tried although they failed in that mission.
Notice, with Dictator T, he has a rogue leaking information to the press.

Heck, he has been exposed as a ****** in chief to the world.
And to think this so-called billionaire has no respect to be seen.

His robotic supporters at rallies don't count.
And many of them hate to say can't really count.
Which?
Is why appeal to them.

A fool knows how to use fools as tools.
Even the little ****** accomplished this with his people too.
Selling them on lies that they instantly bought into.

So much similarity.
He wanted to make Germany great.
Which to some extent he did according to some.
And yes, he had some American companies support.

And make America great, again?
We were great with mistakes long before Dictator T.
Then you have to read to some to know it.

Some people buy their way into a school.
And this famous saying "a mind is a terrible thing to waste"
Seem to fit Dictator T when you hear him speak.

This great country has worked good without Trump's vision.
Although he's guided trying to kiss up to certain religions.
Our founding fathers planned all three division of government accordingly.

Isn't this one reason, we left a country guided by Kings and Queens.

Now, we have a vision a dictator of another war.
Dictating without comprehending that others governs us.

A enemy within only makes enemies than friends.
And those supporting him would have supported ****** too.
Our world contains idiots and fools.

Our courts contains great guiders.
And even this president must answer to those with higher powers.

I ran from God.
But did I really?
I hid from God?
But did I really?

Similar to the two in the garden that tried to hide.
He knew their existence from the start.
Even, when He asked, where art thou?

I blame God.
Hadn't we all?
When in truth , it's by his plans things are done.

I told off God.
But did I really?
His patience with us sustain our hearts.
He teaches us to keep it together.
When we're falling apart.

I said I hated God.
But do I really?

When things don't go right.

We seek someone to blame.
And since he's the creator of all things.
We used him to fall apart too.

Do I really hate God?
Not in the least.
He has been so very good to me.

Do I really blame God?
Not one bit.
He has comforted me through storms.

Did I really run from Him?
Only in my mind.
For, wherever I went.
God was there all the time.

My friend.
My protector.
My guide.
My spiritual force father.

Who I personally run too?
When I need strength to remain strong.

Ads, on running about candidates for office.
Maybe their advertisers failed to comprehend what we see?
Dictating various things to a voter.

First, question, did I see a version of me?
You find the white officer?
The white farmer, the construction worker and the hosts of OTHERS.
Except, did I see me?

It's like being found guilty by a jury of your peers.
If I didn't see me?
Then representation strictly just a saying.

Maybe we all need rose color glasses?
Or visit the rainbows for what I'm speaking about?
Then, maybe many never comprehend the definition of what I'm speaking of?

Did love come down from God?
To be mistreated , abused, and misused.
Did it?

Did love come down?
To be adored, admired and shared.
Did it?

One of the question holds truth.
Some of us upon this earth stands out as living proof.

We read it.
We see it.
And many of us question, did it happen that way?

An older male teacher run away with a female student.
Instantly hunted by the authority.
And rightfully so.

Except, many of us becomes like Columbo or Sherlock Holmes just dissecting the images we see before us.

Both walking in a public mall or public place.
Spaces, where many figure she could have got away?
Still she walking kindly by his side.

Suddenly, here come the twist.
The news gets involved and spin a twist.
Still have many wondering if it happen that way.

So we leave it to the judge and jurors to pass that guilty verdict.
With others with various opinions saying, did it happen that way.

Didn't God create this world free of sin?
Didn't God create the two that started it are?
Realize, God let things happen for a reason.

Didn't God create the animals?
Did God create the people?
Didn't God assigned people to do his will.

We know about Jesus.
In truth, there were others.
Moses wrote down his inspirational commandments.
And we only like to abbreviate them to suit our purpose.

Didn't God?
Assign David things to do.
And dictate things he couldn't do.
Because he was breaking commandments.
Didn't God do this?

Didn't God bless those that were youth?
Didn't God bless those that was older?
If given a quiz you must be able to name two.
Although there are host of many.

Didn't God predict things in Genesis?
All the way to Revelation?
Didn't God create hate?
After He had created love for all of us.

There are so many things that God has done.
And continually do.
Just remember that God is just a touch away.

Love came to me out of my dreams.

Didn't I?
Give you more reasons to smile/

Oh, didn't I?
Didn't I?

Didn't I?
Make you happy at certain times
Didn't I?
Yes, didn't I?

And when you needed me the most?
I wasn't too far away.
Cause you must realize and admit I was by your side plenty of days.

Didn't I?
Tell you that I love you.
Tell you that I need you.
And tell you're the focus of my world.

Oh, didn't I?

Did my arms touch you?
Did my lips kiss you?
Did my voice say I miss you?
To make you feel this way.

You're seeking comfort, from my arms which are open.
And, I'm accepting your invitation to warm your soul.

Did my eyes tell you?
Did my hands caress you?
To make you feel the warmth, of me.

I don't run , from my feelings which you do control.
I don't even hide my love, from others when it comes to you.

Why hide in denial?
The way a fool will do.

I won't be chained like a prisoner afraid to express my heart to you.

Did the vows say for better or worse?
Or just the good times only?

Did I say I do?
When I knew I didn't love you.

No, not me.
I'm a realist willing to accept the facts.
That when we was joined together we both became a pact.

With a bond so strong that it can't be broken.
I proudly say I love.
And glad the words was spoken.

Didn't I say I would tell the truth.
And have kept my word forever to you.

Life , brings on realization that love deserve to be loved.
Every once in awhile truth comes out.
When the one that's hurt speaks these words.

Didn't I love you?
Didn't I protect you.
Work daily to provide you with security.

To say, I worked too much.
Might sound self serving to yourself.
But look at things from a different perspective.
And we're going without.
Then you'll be  complaining I didn't do enough.

So didn't I try?
Didn't I?
Didn't I go the distance for you?
And us .

Love has opportunities.
Love has restrictions too.
But ask yourself honestly?
There wasn't a thing I wouldn't do for you?
