Sitting at home
Expected to succeed
Watching our world burn at our feet
Fire lit by generations before
Powerless to turn the tide
Most of us would rather die
There's so much more to focus on in the world than school work. Our generation is feeling powerless to succeed.
What church?
What teaching?
Do bigots live by?

What Christ they know?
Decades ago, in that twisted southern state four little girls perished from a bombing.

What crime?
Just because of the color of their skins.
Four little girls met a sad end.

So what church?
What teaching?
Are white bigots taught?
Does the main image of racial hate listen to God's love?

All the worst happening of racial injustice be at the hands of white men?
So what church?
What teaching is taught to them?

There is nothing stronger than hate but love.
So it makes you wonder.
I am my own planet,
Moving in my own orbit,
Under the force of gravity of Faith and Belief of my Creator.

The calm before the storm
A serene moment of silence
in the wisps of mist
stroking the curves
of a sleeping mountain
I hear a call

husky tones
siphoned off
by a cold wind
mocking

I see you still
as a filtered moon
drifts over my lashes
quivering

like the scent of you
as we dance
skin to skin
close
My heart stops!
Whenever you walk by?-I think I have died.
Because that how beautiful you are, love?

My heart stops!
Whenever I see your face?-You're a woman of grace.

There are many things that we adore.
Go out of our ways to explore.
Some significant and some not worthy of the effort.

(But when it comes to you)
My heart stops--whenever you walk by my love?
You the main affection on my mind.

Yes, my heart stops--Whenever your eyes meet mine?
What more?
Can I say?
I love you every single day.

When I awake from a dream?
With a smile upon my face.
It deals solely with you.
