Should be the key
It should read on every marque

It does not matter to me
Who you be

In your choices
I do not listen to others voices

Be you and I will be me
Here and across the sea

Free from all the injustice
For the people of substance

Believing in the word trusted
It am afraid it has become rusted

Living Free
Still with so much reluctance

Because of your customs
Living in fear of your destruction

Live free
Without any repercussion


Fighting to stop the injustice
It's time we all live free
For
The blacks, The whites, The poor, The LGBT, The homeless, The people of different faiths, For anyone that dare be different, may you all someday be able to truly live free

When I see you and my heart drops
and it almost stops
Is it Love
When I can not wait to see you
and I do not ask, is this really true
Is it Love
When I have made my mind up
and I do not think it over
Is it Love
When you are enough
And I want to give everyone else up
Is it Love
When it is not just another hookup
and I do not want to ***** it up
Is it Love
When we smile
While looking at each other face to face
Is it Love
When we do not mind sharing the same space
no matter the someplace
Is it Love
When we embrace
and we do not go to first base
Is it Love
When I knew in one moment
and I stop hoping
Is it Love
When I do not ask for more
and it's you I adore

Is it love
When I do not ask anymore

Tears shed for our peers
Yes, our peers
Human as they appear
June 13th 2016

Just out for a beer
At the start everything was unclear
A man is shooting dressed in his terroristic gear  
In an instant
It turned into unimaginable fear
Shooting people  
that were held dear
Fear with tears
Begging the man not to shoot
He knew is route
And continued to shoot
Hiding they could only see
the pacing of  his boots
Him again getting ready to shoot
His victims no time to dispute
One after the other he continued and
continued and continued to shoot
More then hundred times
He does his crimes
Dead are
FORTY NINE
Brothers and sisters
of
Yours and mine  
!!
Yes our peers!!
May our government see all of our tears
and see our fear
And stop on behalf of the forty nine
these horrible crimes

Why
Do people judge
And
Think it is their job
To
Presume
And
Judge
And
Someone's life
They
Do not care to
Smudge
Those people who
Judge
To me
Are nothing but
Sludge
If you judge
I will
Hold a grudge
Judging
To me
Is hatred
It's no one's
Job to
Judge
Because there is
Only one
Judge
Dedicated to the LGBT communities
Because they know what it is to be
JUDGED

Been so patient
Now becoming so impatient
About what I am facing
Now the realization
Of being alone
As I continue to roam
To find someone of my own
Someone that I would have known
That I could grow old with
That is not a myth
To make memories with
That last in love
And will give lots of
My life they will want to be part of
Settle down
Stay around
A friend
Until the end
!!
Then I would/could stop searching
And
My heart would stop it's wanting

It's been such a long time
It seems like, my whole life time
It's been a long time since everything was alright
And the sun shined bright  
Hell !!
No one ringing my bells
Not under anyone's spell

Hotel after hotel
Oh well !!
So many different girls
Fake blonds and died brunettes
Bad girls
You know the kind, that would never ware pearls  
Even some guys along the way
Please do not tell
Now do you understand my hell
Those **** pills
Waking up in landfills

I have changed my ways

Waking up in a ****** hotel
His picture was staring at me
It was meant to be
As I stared back at  him
I ask, where have you been
I have been asking for you, for a long time
I am at my end
I am worn thin

I started looking within
He promised me better days
I promised him I would change my ways
He whispered in my ear, " I am hear to stay"
The very next day
No more ****** hotels
No more pills
No more waking up in landfills
No more bad girls
Only the one's that ware pearls

That picture of our lord
Pulled me out of my

LIVING HELL
There has been so many brighter days
By me changing my bad ways
Thanks to that picture of our Lord
Him staring at me
And me staring back at him

GOD
That word
That name
So many definitions it entertains
Purity  
Dignity
Honesty
Modesty
Flawlessly
Prophecy
Prodigy
A representation of man
What he wanted us to be  
I question
What happened to his plan
What happened to man
From now to the start with Adam and Eve
We have lost our faith and what we should believe
I  greave
For man while we are still in this world
Up until the time we have to leave
Man
That word
That name
So many definitions it entertains
Greedy
Needy
Seedy
Cheesy
So easy
******
Restore our faith and start to believe
Before we leave
!!
Don't you agree
