Long have I searched for answers, Met not one that knows Over different lands and waters This quest takes me high and low The furnace heats up and I cannot bear But clutch my heart with silence and tears A thin line between love and hate, Many have died in faith or is it fate, For things they believe or things they want to believe, Many talk, many walk, many more fear, But in those last moments, they take it all in silence and tears. First it was love, now it is hate, Vengeance burns red in her heart like hells gate Who could she tell, who would believe her Weak and helpless she succumbs to her father Who always has his way and ties her to a chair Here she cries every night...In silence and tears Another day, another lay- he would say Little did he know there was a price to pay Now he lays helpless on his sick bay Another passenger on the broad way If only he’d known there was something to fear, He wouldn’t be here, watching them – watching him In silence and tears In my darkness I see the light, Blazing hot but not blinding me eyes Now, I remember it was sometime in March It must have come from her smile The kind that puts color on a black heart With only a name she leaves me in silence and tears.

Silence and Tears
Mama Africa, She's a blessing to mankind, Her soil is fertile and lush, Her skies are forever sunny and blue, Underneath the soil lies minerals still yet to be touched. She has worked for her children, oh, if only they knew!. Blessed to be born in the bossom of mama Africa, Cursed!, we allow her to waste and wither She cries tears of blood, as she watches her children slaughter their brethren for selfish gain When would we Learn, children of Africa! When will we learn, we are one Africa!. -wolf

Mama Africa
Hey there, I heard you see stars You look a lot like them, are they your sisters? Stars for eyes, the sun for a body Making aphrodite look so ungodly Even gravity couldn't pull you down Now I know the meaning of heaven bound Even oxygen followed you to the moon So I guess you're breathtaking and I will die on you Imperfection is beauty, but you're way past that You're flawless, you're more than a goddess We kissed in a kitchen, it was great But now the food is jealous of how your lips taste If I could, I would write on the moon for you to see And say 'I Love you, Do you Love me?' Yours truly, Moore
