TEA COOKIES AND LEMONADE
There she was sitting in her chair
The passage of time seen in her gray hair
She sits not in a chair on a throne of honor
Tea cookies and lemonade the silent child ate
Cookies salty-sweet this is how she will grow to be
Lemonade just enough tart you can see it from her heart
Words of wisdom in a melodious feminine tone
Encouraging us to rise up and tell me ...

LIFE IS
Life is the reason for living
Even when society has a knife at your throat
Life is the reason for giving
Even when communities are divided by a moat
Life is the reason for loving
Even when you're not worthy to vote
Life is more than flesh and bones
Even when many are left out in the cold
Life is more than a valuable stone
Even when many have to leave their home

FATHER AND MOTHERS / BROTHERS AND DAUGHTERS
Brothers of sand
Holding signs, I am a man
Daughters of dust
Holding signs life in her gut
Fathers of the past
Never thought how long this would last
Mothers of the movement
Never thought so many forget their commitments.
Brothers of man
Fictional to control and command
Daughters of woman
Subjected to the desire of lust
Fathers of the future

WE HIDE
Hunger hides in the schools
Hunger hides in the uneducated
Hunger hides in a child's mind
Why should this be a political fight
We are not asking for a feast, just a little something to eat.
Sadness hides in the home
Sadness hides in the room
Sadness hides in the man on the streets
Don't want to run in your circle anymore.
Want to take that straight line le...

WHITE TEARS
Hate and fear looking for attention
Believing everything told to you without any proof
Their power comes from your lack of education
White tears are colored with ignorance
Hate does not make you a hero
Just make you lose your job
Now your a zero
White tears are colored with fear
Other people that don't look like you
Not living the way you think they should
Call someone to correct...

POETIC
Random thoughts from the heart
So much more than inspirational
Creative lines of words are where it starts
Poetic thoughts profound in rhythm and rhyme
Fractured word caught between inspiration and validation
Haiku is the poetic phlegm I spit at you
Wet and dry all at the same time
No reasoning to the word that you choose
Poetic words with feeling and deep m...

BOY INSIDE
So afraid think I've lost my way
Every day in secret I would pray
Is anyone listening? what would they say
Some times I dream some times I lie
What I can truly be, I hide
From this boy inside
My darkest day my brightest nights
Looking at these words, I write
Will, they ever have their own life
Caught in a dream captured in a lie
Finding my way through life is the real fight
For th...

TRIBUTE TO SOUND
Music is a tribute to sound
From the wien of an electric guitar
Piercing through to your inner ear
To the soft sound of a violin
Played with emotion
It can Pearce your heart.
The voice is a tribute to music
The soprano, the base
The tenor, the alto
And falsetto
With the right word
The story of music can be told.
Music can touch the soul
With someone special
Or all alone
Pictures...
