REAL POETRY

my computer has no sound
so that means my soul can't get down
like a dance clown at the circus
but my day still has purpose
yeah my life still has Christ
yeah my life still has real poetry
yeah way down deep in my roots
is some real sweet fruit
to nibble on
yeah to help you stay strong
yeah during the alone times
yeah because writing rhymes
is not a crime

OUT of FEELINGS

i'm feeling strange
and that feeling needs to change
yeah from sadness
to gladness
from boniness
to bliss
yeah like from a frown
to a smile from a kiss
from a person you have miss so much
yeah the power of human touch
can break any man's inner clutches
or hang ups
so don't give up
yeah have faith
and not luck
because GOD cab bless us the trucks
and not just with bucks
even though money is good
wisdom is better
and last longer than paper
and leather
so get it together
and get out of your feelings

NIGHTLIGHT

and don't know what they mean
so my heart screams

that another soul
is in control
and that it is powerful
beyond my beliefs
and beyond my grief
so Father help me like the police

like a clown in a little car
or a drunk in a bar
but who was seen as a clean
and as a queen
by THE KING of kings
and THE LORD of lords

in honor of THE ONE who...

on this land
of dirt and sand
and rock
but the clock
is ticking
so who are you picking?
to be President
this year
yeah who's ringing your ear?
yeah saying things you want to hear
and want to see in America's communities
well i want to see unity
yeah that is the key
to unlock any door
and stop any war
so we all can soar
and get to the core
which is us
yeah in God i trust
for president

So what's bothering you?

my right eye is crying
so who's dying?
or who's lying?
somehow someway
yeah right now
today
because my soul is feeling gray
or blue
but my soul is true
like God's word
and free like a bird
and smart like a nerd
because it cares about other peoples' affairs
so somewhere someone must be hurting
or wording hard
to not stop their guard
and my hear...
is picking that up
like a cup of gin
that a drunk friend
has dropped
before the cops come
and then we run
for the hills
and vow "no more pills
because our love wills us to be there
yeah even in the snares of life
yeah because all is not paradise
yeah somethings cut like a knife
to the butt
and that's nuts
but true
so what's bothering you?
but affecting me

A GOOD CRY

i wanna break down
or act like a clown
but society won't let me
because they see tears
and having fears
as being weak
but i can't sleep to deep
because i have so much on my mind
and in my heart
that i wanna part with
so let me get wet
yes let me cry
before i die
or lie to your face
that i'm in a good place
because i need love, mercy and grace
so yeah let me be a basket-case
awhile
yeah let me be a child
and cry
until my will feels...
stronger
to move on
and if it takes long
than so what
y'all can kiss my butt
because
i
need
a good cry
