It was a political arena that he was in
A political arena where they said he could not win.
He was fighting for the rights of man
Someone had to take a stand.
His religious rights were being denied
They said he was a war activist which was a lie.
He believed in the commandment “thou shall not ****”
They wanted to take away his rights of “ free will”.
So his lawyer went to court, and fought
With everything that he was taught.

He knew he had a battle up ahead
But it was a fight he did not dread.
Civil rights were being denied
Freedom to all should apply.
They went to court the very next day
He knew the jury he would have to sway.
He started debating how he should start
When a deep feeling pierced his heart.

He told the jury: if this had been GODS will
He would have taught us *******.
Can you find it in your heart to take another mans life
And leave a person without a husband, family, children , wife.
Those words penetrated deep into their minds.
It did not take them very much time.

“ NOT GUILTY” we the jury do find.

Looking for love-looking at faces
Looking for love in all the wrong places
Thinking that I could find love in a bar
The worst place by far.
   Gathering all my thoughts on what I could do
That is when I saw you.
The walk you walked was a walk of pride
With a big smile and your head held high
   You walked past me and I smelled your perfume
It was a smell which would not leave you too soon
I became attracted to you like a bee to a flower
I knew right then that you had the power
To make me give up the search of mine
To find in you a love divine
     I ran in back of you and asked you your name
You looked at me as if I was insane.
You looked at me from head to toe
And told me where I could go.
  I apologized for my boldness and that the sight of you caught my eye
And that I would continue to try
And if I had to climb the highest mountain or swim the deepest sea
Then that’s the way it would have to be.
But I would not stop trying to get to know you
And if a fool I had to be -until the day that you would look at me
I would do anything that you want- to get to make you smile
And to hear that laughter-this is all that I am after.
   With my craziness you started to laugh and told me that you did not want
To relive the past. Of being hurt and shedding the tears
This was something that you feared.
    You laid down the ground rules from the start
And I accepted it with all my heart.
Soon after we got to know each other and your fears slowly diminished
You opened your heart and I saw what was in it.
A love so deep and so profound that it knocked me to the ground.
In my heart you will be- keeping my heart company.
Looking for love-I no longer seek
Because of you-I am complete.

I heard church bells ringing- ringing quite clear
I heard the church bells ringing- deafening my ears.
I looked all around and yet I could not see
Any place of worship even close to me.

That was when I realized that the ringing
Was coming from my heart.
Because it was you who captured it
Right from the start.

You entered my life like the earth enters
the day- and forever you would stay.
The bells are ringing with every passing
Thought of you, and it tells me all that I must do.
And to keep this love- to you I must be true.

I sometimes ask myself how can this be?
The bells toll louder every time you look at me.
Is this the way that love is really meant to be
That my heart is racing fast, and I feel wild and free.

We’ve all envisioned love and how it should be
But love is something you can not foresee.
Everyone sees love in a different way
And with your heart, love will play.
And love like a guitar that’s out of tune
You will lose it pretty soon.

So find the faults while you can
Tune that love and take your stand.
Now as I look at you I ask:
"Is this happening to only me
Or is our hearts singing in harmony"?

Women- listen to the heart of man
Not all of us are macho men
But most of us will defend you to the end.
Not all men are into martial arts, weight lifting and such
For some it is too much.

We are men of every day stance, all we ask
Is to love us , and give us a chance.
We feel pain the same as you
And our tears we’ll hide from you.

We can love you more than you’ll ever know
And it’s something that we will show.
We will love you like no other man can
We will walk with you hand in hand.

You are mans foundation, that is why
GOD made such a beautiful creation.
Different in every aspect and every way
And he knew in our hearts you would stay.

Strange as it may be: we came out of you
And are always trying to get back into you.
But we must start from your heart and mind
To be with you throughout all time.

How many times has my heart bled
How many tears have I shed
How much heartache must I go through
Before you realize how much I love you.

To you it seems like a game
Putting me through all this pain
Why is it that you torture me so
Is that the only thing you know?

Is it the pain that keeps you going
What are you going to do with
That gun you’re loading.
Are you going to take your life?
Or am I going to be your sacrifice.?

How do you think that our love can survive
If you don’t get up to try
What must I do to prove our love is true.
If you don’t allow me to get close to you.
So many women I have found
But none like you have let me down.

So with tears in my eyes
I’ll have to say good bye
I can not continue this way
when all you want
Is with my heart to play.

We will now depart
But you’ll always be in my heart.

The cross- a significant symbol of Christianity
Where JESUS was crucified to save humanity.
It matters not where you’re from
If you believe in GOD- then you believe in his son.

They spoke of him long before his existence
That he was on the way
And to him the world would pray.

Lands, and the earth, and people have changed
But one thing remains the same.
The faith , the belief in GOD above
For he is the one true love.

Men trying to rule other men for power and glory
But this was just part of the story.
They wanted to conquer all nations
And they killed without hesitation.

They traveled by land and sea
And did not care about humanity.
Silver, gold, diamonds , and pearls
This is what made their world.

Then the poor, the humble, the meek
Needed strength for they was weak.
A prophet told the people that he saw a vision
Of angels coming down from the skies
That would affect all mankind.
Every day for centuries they awaited his arrival
Their faith gave them the strength
For their survival.

Rome had become the strongest of nations
And this is where they would find salvation.
GOD would lead the Jews to the promised land
For the holding of his people was out of hand.
This was the turning point to Christianity
And all the miracles made for the world to see.
So if you believe in GOD then you should know
Through his son is the way to go.

I felt the love so deep in my heart
Like a knife tearing me apart
I felt your breath in every
Pulsating blood vessel  flowing
Through my veins, and I knew
That my life would never be the same.

I felt my heart wanting to break
Every time I’d look at your face.
Your eyes would take me on a long journey
To places I’ve never been before
Like in a whirlpool going round and round
And my self going further down.

You are every breath of my life
Every desire in my soul
And you are the one I want to hold.

My heart has become an open book
Pick it up and take a look.
My heart no longer has anything to hide
So come on down and climb inside.

Look at the way a heart truly beats for you
And there is nothing that I wouldn’t do.
To capture your love and put it in a bottle
For all the world to see, that your love
Belongs to me.

This is my heart and I give it to you
Like a bee gives us honey
Taste the sweetness and the joy it brings
For your love is my everything.
