i am a bull's rage
hazy and red
an angel's tear, left on a death bed
...

love
sadness
...

in times, where our country had been raped, beat, exploited and then left to fend for ourselves by such a man, who would want us?
snared and disrupted with violence by our economic status
ignorance pollutes our waters and streams, poisoning our people
in times of desperation and darkness; with crimes our daily justice, who would want us?
...

hot tears spill down the young girl's cheek
never has she felt so much pain
so she cries; though she knows the wasted energy is in vain
her salty tears cleanse her recent cuts,
...

...

i am odysseus, in a foriegn land
i had to pack up my things, never to see my friends again?

on a ship that set sail; raging the waters and storms, it seems as if my heart is anything but whole
...

wrapped in muscle-bound arms; i felt the world could do me no harm
our bodies entwined as one, our sinful deed has been done
true love resounding around us, as if it was originated by us...
looking at you know, i gaze upon your body, open and exposed
...

...

i feel like this is the most important moment in my young life
though watching through a television screen; i see a man, so humble
let's us know that martin king was our jesus, crucified; and partioned our way so that we may have a great man lead us
so gracious and beautiful a man, that tears trmble down my cheek
...

I know we need our space,
because were not the same people anymore
...

...

...

...

i wish, i wish that you could see
past all these facade that i put up,
so you could see the real me
...

i want to be loved; with a love that is calming
a love so soothing it can stop the churning in my soul

so take my hand, to take away all the pain.
...

sittin, like the caged bird. awaiting for you to release me from my walless prison
the prison of my body...endangered by my own mind.

hanging, no clinging to the one starnd,
...

life is...
devotion
pain
peace
...

yesterday was the day i sinned.
yes, i had sinned before but yesterday was the worst
see i thought that i could make the blind man see
thought i could erase his ignorance, just by saying a couple things
...

i turned back, to a chapter in my past
i walked through the pages, reading of my my mistakes
reminicing of the way we were
...

to look at her, from outside her inner circle
she seems calm, organized, in control.

but believe me, you're on the outside looking in
...
