POETRY!

Poetry is medicine for the soul to help make a human being whole. Poetry has healing power better than cards and flowers. Poetry guides me in what to do or say. Hey, poetry makes my day! Writing words of inspiration and hope is better than shooting dope. Words are the most powerful drug used by mankind. Poetry can blow your mind. Poetry is medicine for the soul to help make a human being whole.

DEEP SONG

A deep song that comes from your soul Deep Song! A song that takes control Deep Song! A song that makes you whole Deep Song! It’s my goal to find a song that takes control and makes me feel whole My claim to fame is to have the Blues call my name I want you to cry me a river I want you to cry me a sea I want someone to hurt you like you been hurting me Life ain’t got no good news and I’m one step from the blues I want to hear a deep song all day long Deep Song!

DON’T LET THE PAST DESTROY TODAY!

I am getting better and better in every way— I don’t let the past destroy today. We all make mistakes in some way. I don’t let the past destroy today. Forget what is behind, renew your mind. Now is the time to find peace of mind. Share words that bless, build, and uplift! And remember that today is a gift. I am getting better and better in every way— I don’t let the past destroy today.

BIG BREAK

40 years give or take still waiting for my big break. Eating eggs and steak I butter my bread with Land of Lakes. 40 years give or take still waiting for my big break. I came to town on the Greyhound. Ever since, I been getting down. One day I’ll receive my crown and stop acting like a clown. 40 years give or take still waiting for my big break. Eating eggs and steak I butter my bread with Land of Lakes. 40 years give or take still waiting for my big break. The world may roar and rage but I’m writing a new page I am bearing fruit in my old age as I write poetry and perform on stage. 40 years give or take still waiting for my big break. Eating eggs and steak I butter my bread with Land of Lakes. 40 years give or take, still waiting for my big break. 40 years give or take, still waiting for my big break. 40 years give or take, still waiting for my big break. 40 years give or take, still waiting for my big break.

ACTING LIKE A TREE!

God is a tree Planted by the river Able to save and deliver His leaf never withers God is a green tree You are able to be Who you want to be Like a green olive tree Wild and free God is a green tree Helping the blind to see Helping the lame to walk The dumb to talk God is a green tree Planted by the river Able to save and deliver His leaf never withers

TRAPPED OFF

Trapped off in poverty. Trapped off in drugs and alcohol. Self-made prison. Self-made jail. Is there a self-made heaven? I don’t know. But I do know there’s a self-made hell!

WORDS!

Words have creative power Making life sweet and sour Words of love are heaven-sent Creating a positive environment Words of kindness and caring A spirit of human sharing Words can tickle and thrill Words can heal or kill Take your words and create A world of love, not hate.
