THIS IS YOUR TIME
YOURS TO DEFINE
HUMANS GET ONE SHOT
FROM DAY TO DAY TO BE HOT
IN PHYSICAL BODIES AND MINDS
AS EACH UNWINDS
FROM SOMEONE WHO IS OLD
REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE BEING TOLD
NOT TO WASTE
EVEN IN HASTE
ONE SCINTILLA OF A MINUTE
WHILE REACHING WHAT YOU THINK IS YOUR LIMIT
TOMORROW IS TODAY
IN EVERY WAY
PASSING SWIFTLY THROUGH THE YEARS
SEES AND HEARS
ABOUT THINGS THAT YOU SHOULD HAVE DONE
BUT TOOK NO ACTION
CHILDREN IN YOUR DREAMS
SEEMS
THAT YOU HAVE SO MUCH TIME
BEFORE YOU ARE PRIME
BUT THIS IS NOT TRUE
YOU REALLY DON’T HAVE A CLUE
THE OLD FOLKS IN YOUR LIVES TODAY
WERE LIKE YOU SOME WHERE ON THEIR WAY
TOWARDS COMBING GRAY HAIRS OVER BALD SPOTS
THEIR LIVES BUT BLOTS
OF TIME EITHER WELL SPENT OR NOT
ALL NOW FOR THEM MAY BE A ROT
OR MEMORIES THAT INCLUDE YOU
BE KIND, PLEASE DO
FOR YOU WILL BE THEM SOMEDAY
IN EVERY WAY
YOUARE YOUR MOTHER’S CHILD
NOT FOR JUST A LITTLE WHILE
BUT AS THE TUNNEL ENDS
AFTER MANY BENDS
WE ALL GO BACK TO CLAY
MAY
WE HAVE MADE A GOOD USE OF OUR TIME
AND SPENT EVERY DIME
LIVING A GOOD LIFE
WITH LITTLE TO NO STRIFE
AND PASSED ON TO OUR HEIRS
MEMORIES FOR THEIR TIME OF GRAY HAIRS
SINCE THIS IS A SITE ABOUT EDUCATION
AND WHAT IS OR IS NOT HAPPENING IN THE NATION
TAKE A MOMENT AND THINK
WHEN YOU ARE ON THE BRINK
OF DECIDING WHAT TO DO WITH YOUR SELF
TO SIT ON THE SHELF
MAKE NO WAVES FOR YOUR SELF OR ANOTHER
ACTOR
PUSHING HIS WARES ON THE TIME LINE
TO RESIGN
TO WHAT HAPPENS INSTEAD
OF PRESENTING YOUR OWN SPREAD
OF WHAT YOU WANT
YOUR LIFE TO FLAUNT
NO MATTER WHAT
DON’T LIVE ON AUTOPILOT
FOR THE YEARS GO YOU KNOW
ALSO
THE END IS ALONG PERIOD OF TIME
NO ONE WILL SPARE YOU A DIME
FOR IT IS YOUR MEMORIES THAT LAST
AND IN THE END LIFE MOVES FAST
THEREFORE, BEST CHOICES MAKE
PREVENT A HEART ACHE

BE AWARE AS YOU LIVE EACH DAY
WHAT YOU DO MATTERS IN EVERY WAY
DOING BAD HAS A PRICE
ASIDE FROM NOT BEING NICE
IT IS EASY TO DO THINGS, WITHOUT THOUGHT
THAT WE OUGHT
TO HAVE PAID ATTENTION TO
WHILE WE PURSUE
OUR DREAMS OR FUTURE
MOVING TOWARDS ORDER
BE MINDFUL AS YOU WALK TODAY
NOT TO DOWNPLAY
ANY ACTIONS THAT YOU TAKE
DO NOT BE A FAKE
FOR IT REALLY IS TRUE
IT IS NOT A BREAKTHROUGH
THAT WHATEVER WE SOW
AND HOW
WILL BE OUR REAPING
KEEPING
WITH THE LAW
CORN SEEDS WILL DRAW
CORN JUST AS PEAS OR BEETS
STAND WITH THEIR RECEIPTS
FOR SEEDS, FIND THEIR OWN
AND WILL REAP AS SOWN

FIRST TIME I EVER SAW YOUR FACE
I NOW RETRACE
HOW WONDERFUL IT WAS
NO FLAWS
I COULD NOT TALK
OR WALK
BREATH CAME INTO MY FLESH
EVERYTHING WAS NEW AND FRESH
LIFE WAS INSIDE OF ME
YEARS AFTER I EVEN BECAME COLICKY
BUT YOU WERE THERE THROUGH IT ALL
YOU WATCH ME GO FROM SMALL TO TALL
I AM YOUR CHILD
TO WHOM YOU SMILED
EVEN WHEN I WAS BEING BAD
YOU DID NOT GET MAD
I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH
FOR BEING TOUGH
WHEN I WAS OUT OF POCKET
MY PICTURE REMAINED IN YOUR LOCKET
TODAY IS MOTHER’S DAY
I THANK YOU IN EVERY WAY
FOR WHAT YOU HAVE GONE THROUGH WITH ME
I AM OLDER NOW AND I CAN SEE
THAT ALL THESE THINGS THAT YOU HAVE DONE
MANY TIMES WERE NO FUN
ALL THAT I ASK OF YOU FOR NOW AND EVERMORE
KEEP THE LIGHT AND THE DOOR
TO YOUR HEART AND YOUR LOVE
HEREIN AND ABOVE
OPEN AND READY
HELPING ME TO STAY STEADY
IN THE VALUES THAT YOU IMPARTED
LOADED
INTO MY MIND TO USE AT WILL
TO FULFILL
THE EXPECTATIONS THAT YOU HAVE FOR ME
I WILL OBTAIN THEM ESPECIALLY
I WANT TO PLEASE
AND GIVE YOU EASE
FROM WORRIES ABOUT MY BEHAVIOR
MA DEAR, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE MY LIFESAVER
Saturday, May 8th, 2010
ALL MEN BY NATURE DESIRE KNOWLEDGE
TO KEEP THEM OUT OF BONDAGE
THIS IS MORE TRUE THEN ONE MIGHT THINK
SIMILAR THOUGHTS HAVE MADE IT TO PAPER AND INK
EVEN THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT THIS
DO NOT DISMISS
WHAT IS SAID IN HOSEA’S BOOK
TAKE A LOOK
“MY PEOPLE ARE DESTROYED
FOR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE”, UNEMPLOYED
INTO LIFE EXPERIENCES
BY CHOICES
MADE BY THOSE IN CHARGE
THEMSELVES LIVING LARGE
BUT ALAS DO NOT FORGET
FROM THE OUTSET
THAT CHILDREN CONTINUE
TO HAVE THEIR DUE
TO BE THE FUTURES OF YOU AND ME
DON’T YOU AGREE
TO HAVE THEM BE THE BEST
INSTEAD OF DISTRESSED
IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY
TO THE BEST OF OUR CAPACITY
TO CONTRIBUTE TO THEIR SUCCESS
AND PROGRESS
AS THEY TAKE THE HELM
IN THEIR OWN REALM
LOOK FROM FAR AND NEAR
HAIL THEM AS THEY PERSEVERE
KNOW THAT THIS IS THEIR TIME
TO MAKE THE CLIMB
Saturday, May 1st, 2010
GIVE ME YOUR TIRED YOUR POOR
DOES ANYONE KNOW THE SCORE
YOUR HUDDLED MASSES YEARNING TO BREATHE FREE
IF THERE IS NO BOUNTY
ON YOUR HEAD
AND YOU DO NOT DREAD
THE NEW IMMIGRATION LAW
GOING AFTER THOSE THIS TIME WHO DO THE CHA-CHA-CHA
IT IS NOT JUST AN ARIZONIA THING
BANKRUPTING
AMERICAN VALUES
WITH NEW STATUES
FORGETTING IMMIGRATION IS AS AMERICAN AS BASEBALL
OR A SOUTHERN DRAWL
WHAT SHALL WE DO
TO GET A BREAKTHROUGH
ON THIS ISSUE
WE CAN NO LONGER CONTINUE
DOWN THE ROAD THAT WE ARE TRAVELING
ABANDONING
THE BELIEFS THAT MAKE US WHO WE ARE
ARE BURIED IN SOME RESERVIOR
TIME TO COME TO THE TABLE
IF OUR WILL IS ABLE
TO HELP THE TWELVE MILLION
HERE BROWBEATEN
THROUGH THE MANY YEARS
LIVING THROUGH THE MANY JEERS
SO MANY CHILDREN AND YOUTH INVOLVED
IMMIGRATION MUST BE SOLVED
CAN YOU IMAGINE THEM SITTING IN SCHOOL
SOME UNDER RIDICULE
WONDERING IF THIS WILL BE THE DAY
WHEN THEY CAN NO LONGER BE AS A STOWAWAY
OF COURSE, THERE ARE MANY
WHO WILL NOT LEARN ABC
AND LEFT OUT OF SCHOOLS TO NOT BE CAUGHT
OUGHT
WE TO DO OUR BEST
TO INVEST
IN CHILDREN WHO ARE OUR FUTURES
LET US BE CRUSADERS
IF ONLY FOR THEM
LET US NOT CONTINUE TO CONDEMN

YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT
SO YOUR BODY DO NOT MALTREAT
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN, YOU SAY
BE CAREFUL OF WHAT YOU EAT EVERY DAY
AMERICA, THE LAND OF THE PLENTY
HAVE MANY
THAT PARTAKE OF TOO MUCH
LEAVING THEM UNABLE TO TOUCH
THE TOES THAT GOD GAVE THEM
OR EVEN TOUCH THE HEM
OF SOME OF THEIR GARMENTS
WITH OUT GRUNTS
ON THEIR WAY TO THE BOTTOM
WHILE LOSING THEIR EQUILIBRIUM
LEAVING MANY AMERICANS OVERWEIGHT
WHILE THEIR INSIDES DISINTEGRATE
INTO DIABETIES, HEART ATTACKS
IT IS TIME TO DO SOME ROLLBACKS
RAIDING THE REFRIGERATOR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT
IS NOT ALRIGHT
IF YOU ARE NOT FIGHTING OBESITY
ACTIVELY
OUR CHILDREN WHO ARE OUR FUTURES
NEED BETTER ELDERS
TO MODEL THE ROAD
IN THEIR ABODE
CHANGING HABITS ARE DIFFICULT AT BEST
IN YOUR HOME YOU HAVE TO GIVE FOOD A REST
ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE NOT EATING RIGHT
AND PUTTING EVERYTHING IN YOUR STOMACH IN SIGHT
THIS MAY BE YOUR CHOICE
BUT YOU NEED TO BE A VOICE
FOR YOUR CHILDEN OR CHILD
SO THAT THEY DON’T GO WILD
IN THEIR FOOD HABITS, TOO
PARENTS, IT’S ALL UP TO YOU

MAMA, MAMA CAN YOU SEE
SOMEONE IS BULLYING ME
I TRY TO RUN AND HIDE
I DARE NOT CONFIDE
FOR I AM SCARE
I AM TOTALLY UNPREPARED
THEY HUNT ME IN THE SCHOOL HALL
GOD DISAPPEAR ME INTO THE WALL
NO ONE TO HELP ME OUT
EVERYONE SEEMS TO BE ABOUT
LETTING ME TWIST IN THE WIND
I DON’T HAVE THICK SKIN
I WALK ALONE
I DARE NOT TELEPHONE
ANYONE FOR HELP
LET ME HIDE ON THE SHELF
IF I TELL SOMEONE
PLEASE DON’T ABANDON
ME FROM YOUR CARE
I CANNOT LOOK ELSEWARE
MY ADOLESCENSE IS A TIME
I’M
IN CONFLICT ABOUT WHO I AM
LIKE A POOR LITTLE LAMB
THAT HAS LOST ITS’ WAY
I FEEL THIS ALL DAY
I LOOK AROUND
I HEAR THE SOUND
OF KIDS TALKING, WALKING AND GETTING ALONG
I SIMPLY DON’T BELONG
DOESN’T ANY BODY CARE
ARE THEY EVEN AWARE
THAT I EXIST
HAVE I BEEN DISMISSED
MY VOICE YELLS
WITH ALL OF MY CELLS
BUT EVEN, I CANNOT HEAR
I AM STEEPED IN FEAR
THE SOUNDS REVERBERATE BACK WITHIN
AM I A PERSON OF SIN
I DO NOT COUNT
I WILL NOT AMOUNT
TO ANYTHING ANY HOW
PLOW
ME BACK INTO THE GROUND
I WILL NO LONGER BE AROUND

OH MY CHILD
ON YOU, WE SMILED
AT YOUR BIRTH
THE WAIT WAS WORTH
THE CHILD BEARING PAINS
BUT ANTICIPATION SUSTAINS
FOR IT IS YOU
WHO
HAVE REAPED THE BENEFIT
OF THE LABOR PAINS THAT PERMIT
YOU TO COME FORTH INTO LIFE
YOUR DAD AND I PROTECT YOU FROM DAILY STRIFE
YOU DON’T KNOW IT YET
BUT SOMEDAY YOU WILL BE PART OF A DUET
THAT BRINGS A CHILD INTO THE WORLD
WITH HAIR CURLED
LIKE YOURS IS RIGHT NOW
WOW
CONSIDER WHAT I SAY
TODAY
AS A BLOCK THAT BUILDS YOUR CHARACTER
AND EVEN AS YOU GET OLDER
BE AWARE THAT A LOT OF THE HEAVY LIFING
FOR YOUR EDUCATING
HAS BEEN DONE EVEN BEFORE YOU WERE BORN
WITHOUT SCORN
BUT WITH LOVE
EVEN FROM ABOVE
SO AS YOU GO FORTH
LANDING EITHER SOUTH OR NORTH
REMEMBER THIS
AND DO NOT DISMISS
THAT YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW
KEEP YOU HAND ON THE PLOW

SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE
WILL NEVER EVAPORATE
FROM CONVERSATIONS AT HOME AND IN SCHOOL
THE PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE IS STILL THE RULE
FOR PATRIOTIC OCCURRENCES TO OCCUR
WHETHER OR NOT THE PARTICIPANTS IN THE ACTIVITY CONCUR
TO FOLLOW PROCEDURES LAID OUT
WITHIN THE SCHOOL CURRICULUM ABOUT
PRACTICES THAT ARE AS OLD AS TIME
IS IT REALLY A CRIME?
THIS WAS HOW SOME PARENTS FELT AND FEEL
TO PUT GOD IN THE PLEDGE FORCED THEM TO APPEAL
TO THE HIGHEST COURT IN THE LAND
TO DESTROY AN AMERICAN BRAND
WHICH IS LIKE THE CONSTITUTION AND APPLE PIE
WILL THEY CERTIFY?
THAT THEY DID, A FEW DAYS AGO
SO NOW EVERYONE IS EXPECTED TO STOP ON GO
AND SAY THE PLEDGE IN UNISON
AS A GOOD CITIZEN
WOE, WHAT OF THE PARENTS WHO OBJECT
WHO DO NOT FEEL THIS IS CORRECT
WILL THEY CONTINUE TO FIGHT
DAY AND NIGHT
TO KEEP THEIR CHILD OUT OF THE MIX
FROM PARTICIPATING IN VALUES BASIC
TO THEIR HOME
WILL THEIR KIDS COMB
THIS WORD OUT OF THEIR LIVES
AND KEEP THEIR OWN PERSPECTIVES
SHOULD THEY ASK OTHER QUESTIONS AS WELL
SHOULD THEY REBEL
AGAINST OTHER THINGS TO WHICH THEY DON’T AGREE
WILL THIS BE A LIFETIME THING OR WILL THEY WAIT AND SEE
ISN’T LEARNING BEING EXPOSED TO MANY THINGS
SOME THAT CREATE AWAKENINGS
OF FEELINGS WITHIN
THAT BEGIN
OUR KNOWLEDGE OF LIFE, LIBERTY AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS
TO HARNESS
WHAT WILL EVENTUALLY MAKE US WHO WE WILL BECOME
ON LIFE’S CONTINUUM
ISN’T THE PLEDGE APART OF THAT EXPERIENCE
THAT WILL LEAD TO ONE’S EVENTUAL CHOICE AND INDEPENDENCE
THIS IS A COUNTRY WHERE FOLKS CAME
TO WORSHIP GOD FREELY AND STAKE THEIR CLAIM
NOW, EVERYONE HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO THE SAME
OR NOT, WHAT EVER THEIR GOAL OR AIM
Saturday, March 13th, 2010
TAKE THIS CUP FROM ME
THE VIOLENCE IS SO HEAVY
ALL AROUND MY LIFE
WHICH I WANT TO KEEP FROM STRIFE
ON THE SCHOOL PLAYGROUND
IT IS ALL AROUND
WHY, OH WHY
MAKES ME CRY
SOMETIMES I AM AFRAID TO GO TO CLASS
I HARASS
MY MIND
TO FIND
ANOTHER WAY TO LEARN
SO IN THE END I EARN
MY PIECE OF PAPER
SO I CAN BE MY OWN GATEKEEPER
BREAKING TIES FROM MY HOME
LIVING UNDER A NEW DOME
EASIER SAID THEN DONE
RECESSION HAS WON
AND MONEY IS TIGHT
LEAVES QUICKLY AND IS OUT OF SIGHT
DOESN’T MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE
VIOLENCE IS NOT EXCLUSIVE
SHOULD THERE NOT BE A CONVERSATION
ABOUT THIS THROUGHOUT THE NATION
THOSE THAT HAVE
PUT ON THE SALVE
THAT BEINGS THEM OUT OF SIGHT OUT OF MIND
THEY LEAVE IT ALL BEHIND
BUT TODAY VIOLENCE IS EVERYWHERE
IT DOES NOT SPARE
THE RICH AND MIGHTY THAT LIVE ON HILL
THEY TOO CANNOT AVOID THE VIOLENCE SPILL
VIOLENCE IS REALLY A MORALITY THING
THAT NEEDS SOME VILIFYING
HOW CAN THAT HAPPEN YOU SAY
THERE MUST BE SOMEWAY
TO STOP THE VIOLENCE
GOD HELP US TO KICK IT OUT OF RESIDENCE
LESS RAP BROWN A RADICAL OF OLD
HAS HIS PREDICTION GET A STRONG FOOTHOLE
MAMA, MAMA CAN YOU SEE
SOMEONE IS BULLYING ME
I TRY TO RUN AND HIDE
I DARE NOT CONFIDE
FOR I AM SCARE
I AM TOTALLY UNPREPARED
THEY HUNT ME IN THE SCHOOL HALL
GOD DISAPPEAR ME INTO THE WALL
NO ONE TO HELP ME OUT

LETTING ME TWIST IN THE WIND
