little things
A glass of wine, on a mountain top
a slender touch of conformation
...
A love bound woman?
She is the mother and
The father to her children

Your Dark brother
I was your dark brother
I was mocked looked down upon and defamed

Mr. President
Mr. President
I swear!
you are the president.
when the kingdom comes
And stamps your authority
on the ballot,
you dont need to open your eyes
You are the president
The people have had their say
But that dont count
i shoved it beneath the table
and bought the commissioner handsomely
i pushed the lobbying squatters
into shelters, .they had to prescribe to your
supremacy Sir.
you are the president
I had a difficult time
playing down your murder charges
dismissing them as stale
i need more liberty to bail
Your judge off your neck.
with a cup of coffee, Sir, .
by all means
you are the president.
Every mountain
has been made low.
believe me your Highness.
if need be, on a gunpoint,
the commissioner must adopt
to the weather of a new,
Mr. Honorable President.
Love, forgiveness and faith are expensive commodities., they cost tears.
Love is when u don't like ones habits, but you still love them.
loving is beautiful but being there when needed is priceless.
I don't want a whole mountain, I don't want to go to the moon, I don't want to find huge junks of treasure, I don't want a three Piece suit, I don't want expensive jewels, i just want to find happiness, I want to find peace, quiet. I want to find love.
let all men play their part and they will enjoy life to the fullest.
