Best Of The Best

(2/9/12)

Even the best of the best tend to fall
When they lose their faith
They lose it all.

Not many of us will see that guiding light
That sends our hearts into flight.
They say that some are born to preach
And the word of god is easy to teach.
While there are so many others who search in vain
To help relieve the inner pain.

Many think they are better than others
Yet they call us their sisters and brothers.
Which one has the furthest to fall?

This is when Isaac Newton s theory comes into play.
If they both weigh the same, and are dropped from the same height
They will both reach the ground at the same time.

Child Predators

whats going on in this world today.
another child taken
peoples lives are shaken.

blood of children spilled
this is not GODS will.

we are living in a society where children
can't be free, to run and play.
as they did before.
to return to their home nevermore.

we are adults, and it's our responsibility
to make sure that our children can see
that they're living in a democracy.

we must take away their fears that
are locked up inside.
when they see a stranger they
must run and hide.

Now And Then

Hip hop, hard rock, be bop, punk rock
It will never stop.
Every generation will have its own
That is something that’s been shown.

As teens we think that the
older generation do not know
What is hip and what is slow

Our time is NOW and your time is THEN
But we still recognize which is
Foe and which is friend.
In ten years another generation will appear
Then we’ll have the same fears.

Maybe by then drug addiction, free sex
and telephone text will be gone
And just like you our memories
Will linger on.

unicef**united Nations Interest For Children Of Every Faith

look around, and what do you see
children of all races and creeds
white, yellow, black, olive complexioned too.
don't you realize that they all need you?

look at pictures and read the news
children all over the world
starving and without parents and love.

must they pay for the elders mistakes
must they be the victims of our ignorance.
let us give them what we had as kids.

love, food, affection is all they ask.
look at their faces and think
of your own children and if they would
survive, if they were in their places.

no matter what our beliefs.
we are children of GOD

The Twisting Fifties And Sixties

Each generation has its own memories
But nothing to compare to the good
Old fifties and sixties.
These were the years of the birth of rock
Mini skirts and bobby socks.
A bit of jazz, a bit of soul
Putting them together it took control.

Then came ELVIS with his gyrating hips
Making all the young girls
Pucker up their lips.
Every song was a story to be told
And the concert tickets all were sold.

The MOON GLOWS, THE HEARTBEATS,
THE FLAMINGOES and such
Had us all hypnotized to this touch.
These songs would touch our hearts and souls
And dancing to this music
Our lives would unfold.

We As Soldiers

They was not born onto this world
to fight a war and lose their lives.
But they did fight a war, and did lose their lives
And it was done to protect you and I.

Now you may think of it as insignificant
Because it is not a family member or friend
But if they died defending your liberties
Then they are family and friends
And can not be with you till the end.

It was that soldier who was on land
Air, or the sea, defending your
rights so that you can be free.

Free to have the freedom of speech
And voice your opinion and beliefs.
And like all things, there is a price
That we must pay for that privilege.

Children Of The Street

Children of the streets

If I could put into words what I think and feel
It would be a never ending story, and I would not heal.
So I will write just what’s on my mind today.
For that won’t take too much away.

I’m thinking of all the children of the world
Who don’t have a roof above their head
Not even a soft tender bed.

Their beds are just papers thrown on the ground
They cry to themselves without making a sound.
The pain in their hearts no one can feel
They survive in the streets and learn how to steal.

Abandoned by the ones who brought them into this world
Is this the life for any boy or girl.
No food for them to eat, a candy bar is a treat.
No clean water for which to bathe

Your Love

your love is what cleanses my soul.
your love is what makes me whole.
your love is what has taken me
from the darkness into the light.
your love is what makes this world bright.

without you we are like sheep
who have gone astray.
heading towards the wolf
and becoming its prey.

your love gives us purpose in this life.
because of your love
you made the ultimate sacrifice.

you was nailed to the cross
for all the world to see
that you took away our sins
and set us free.

Teens Life Taken

a young teenager following the crowd
drugs and alcohol everywhere to be found
party time is what they say
it is time for us to play.
it is when we all get down
we have enough to go around.

then it happens unexpectedly, a life is taken
but it's not you or me!
then you find out that it was a friend
who you partied with till the very end.

he got behind the wheel of a car
but didn't travel very far
he hit the gas instead of the brake
but by then it was much too late.
he hit the lamp post doing about eighty three
it was something that he did not foresee.

how many more stories must you hear

What s IT Take To Smile

(08/29/11)

All it takes is a simple word or gesture
To make a persons day
While others may turn their backs and
Look the other way.

You may wake up with that grouch
That lurks within
But if you don’t allow it - it can never win.

Greet the day with a smile - for you
Have awakened to another day.
And to the LORD - a thanks you should say.

If you’re with a smile, and give a greeting
For the day,75% of the time
You will hear them say
Good morning, good evening, good day.
