Four For Glory
The Night Was Cut Off From Smiling
G David Schwartz
Oh, I will not die
The night was cut off from smiling
I sat there crying
Broken Wings Fly Upside Down
G David Schwartz
Whether red or brown
broken wings fly upside down
Do not touch the clown
I Hear The Firer Frying
G David Schwartz
I hear the frier frying
I hear the burgers burning
I also here the wind
Early out this morning
I Am Not Ashamed
G David Schwartz
I am not ashamed
I will do anything with you that you wish
except of course
eat some uncooked fish

God is love.
Love is of God until you within the walls of church.
And you listen, you hear those speaking for him.
Offering their opinions.
Offering their views.
Without even understanding his perspective.
We, are here to comprehend.
We, are here to adjust.
While God guides us wisely.
Nothing on this earth will easily be accepted.
Be loved completely.
If so?
Then why churches support racism in some form?
Why ministers preach against interracial marriages?
And others firm about interfaith connection.
God watches.
God question us.
And like us wonder about our personal love.
Then we only have to look at scriptures to see that nothing truly have changed but the decade.
What's in society?
Within the words of scriptures.
God watches.
God ponder.
God wonder.
Will we get in teaching lesson.
Changes occurs.
Changes happen.
Somewhere within us lies what God requires of us?
There's a bigger picture many yet to see?

Glass falls from the windows round
a wizard from the sky is inbound
another warrior star child late as usual
my interfaith brother called to make us complete
Now we will dance naked as in the times you never knew
and in casts of many colours show you what our kind do
do not panic in what will take place
for we are here to protect the Human race
It would not matter if in order we come
now you have the last of five complete lords
and when the end comes we will be with you
in this Eden cursed, in this glass house
We stand defiant to your downfall
brave to the last we will truly stand
and all of us will scream your name
in glorious freedom in this glass house
