I would hate to disappoint you
Infact, I have always strived not to disappoint you
Now Im disappointed in you by disappointing me
I guess that was my first disappointment

Im disappointed in,
You not supporting me
You not understanding me
You not prioritising me
Your timing for me

I am even disappointed by this being about you and me, not us

Im disappointed
But not discouraged

Lamar Cole
He found a wallet full of money.
He was feeling sweeter than honey.
He became bewildered when his conscience said, take the money and run.
Go on a spending spree and have some fun.
He said, conscience you are so full of crap.
You usually tell me to do the right thing.
But you need to shut your thieving trap.
Be careful,
Not to be too careful
Be careful,
Not to be careless

Care

I dont care, if you care more
I dont care, if you care less

The verb is care

The universe will take care of you
That way you dont lose your humanity
Tell me, I'll show You
Show me, I'll tell You
Guide me, I'll arrive
Arrive, I'll guide You
Ask me, I'll answer You
Answer me, I'll ask you
Its just You and I
They say,
Change is,
Good
They don't say,
Change is,
Different

I realize
I have real eyes
That see real lies—
     ~Nearsighted
          (rule of law)
     ~Farsighted
          (rule of lies)
     ~The "ayes" have it
          (hidden agenda)
     ~The "ayes" have it
          (secret addenda)
     ~The "ayes" have it
          (hate crimes)
     ~The "ayes" have it
          (critical times)
     ~Undocumented truth
          (entombed)
     ~Unmitigated lies
          (exhumed)
I realize
I have real eyes
That see real lies—
     ~As the world cries
