Star
You are a star. Now do what stars do and shine bright. Light up the night sky, line yourselves in the heavens and create a new constellation. Love surrounded with Olive leaves.

Life
Our life is a file that God keeps on his shelf.
Taking peeks here and there with a watchful
eye he takes notes on our war with our self.
With raw battle scars we kneel and pray.

GREEN (The Other Version) Chapter One
Coiling his arms around Clover like a snake coiling around it's prey. The huge man began to squeeze the life out of her. "This is what women get for playing with monsters" said the godzilla size of a man as he squeezed tighter and tighter. "And you'll get your brains blown out if you don't release my friend" said Amber Forest as she pointed her Glock at the hulk of a man. Looking over his shoulder with Clover still in his grip the man says "Do you know what will happen to you if you kill me?" "Nothing but you do know what will happen to you if you don't release Clover" said Amber...

Black Woman (The other version)
With a smile as bright as the sun that warms my heart
You chase away the sorrow that clouds my life.
With skin that rivals the marvels of the universe
time itself stands still and take notice. With the
moon for your crown and the earth for your throne
you give a whole new meaning to the title Ms. Universe.

Anger and Hatred (Full Version)
Anger the bastard child of Hatred despised and rejected stands before his father and ask "What do me and my mother mean to you?"
With glowing red eyes Hatred answers "I care nothing for you or your mother Lust. Lust your mother is nothing more than a slut who
I had sex with." Looking Hatred in his fiery red eyes Anger says
"For someone who lurk in the shadows you hurl a lot of insults."
Stepping closer to Anger Hatred responds with another insult "Your
mother Lust is a slut plain and simple. How can you not know and who are you to question me?" With a bold...

Knowledge
The first step to gaining knowledge is to
recognize one's own ignorance
to take a stance against stupidity even if it means
standing alone.
The second step to gaining
knowledge is to inhale a whirlwind of knowledge
and exhale understanding
to fly on the winds of wisdom.
