Blue
To protect and serve
A sacrifice to pursue
Ambushed in the streets
By terrorist and their political view
You’re loved and hated
Some see a different hue
I’m proud that you’re my brother
And your sacrifice in the color of blue
A sacrifice to pursue
Ambushed in the streets
By terrorist and their political view
You’re loved and hated
Some see a different hue
I’m proud that you’re my brother
And your sacrifice in the color of blue

brother
am i not yet a brother in the battle,
though tempers flourish like stampeding cattle?
black my story
for your glory!
be not afraid,
love is not dead:
though rough white hands have treated me like chattel,
my strong black arms shall save you from death’s throttle.

Magical Dreams~
My brother sat on the couch beside me
He looks at the world through newly thirteen years old eyes
He doesn't really understand things yet and that's okay
Turning to me he asks why our families dreams come true
I chew on my lip thinking how to respond
He continues on about how he doesn't understand
Just how exactly our dreams tell the future
He just started having them and I still don't know what to say
The gift of prophesy in in our blood it seems
Divination and soothsaying our gifts
We have all had them, these dreams that come true ...
He looks at the world through newly thirteen years old eyes
He doesn't really understand things yet and that's okay
Turning to me he asks why our families dreams come true
I chew on my lip thinking how to respond
He continues on about how he doesn't understand
Just how exactly our dreams tell the future
He just started having them and I still don't know what to say
The gift of prophesy in in our blood it seems
Divination and soothsaying our gifts
We have all had them, these dreams that come true ...

Love for my family
Here...
Let me bust open my ribs
A lung...
A liver...
No need to fight...
There's enough blood in my veins for everyone
It's okay... It'll be okay...
I'll break my back to fix yours
Your hands hurt?
I have two...
You can't see?
I have eyes... They don't work so great but you can have them...
I would give anything to help you...
I'm sorry I'm not enough..
I'm sorry I don't have enough
Let me bust open my ribs
A lung...
A liver...
No need to fight...
There's enough blood in my veins for everyone
It's okay... It'll be okay...
I'll break my back to fix yours
Your hands hurt?
I have two...
You can't see?
I have eyes... They don't work so great but you can have them...
I would give anything to help you...
I'm sorry I'm not enough..
I'm sorry I don't have enough

I Have A Voice
I have a voice
it will not be stilled
hear me
hear my words
of deep concern
for you
for them
for family
for our nation
we are all
but brothers and sisters
not here to hurt
each other
but to help one another
I have a voice
you have one too
use it for uniting
not dividing each other
and don't forget that
we all matter
it will not be stilled
hear me
hear my words
of deep concern
for you
for them
for family
for our nation
we are all
but brothers and sisters
not here to hurt
each other
but to help one another
I have a voice
you have one too
use it for uniting
not dividing each other
and don't forget that
we all matter

Lessons From The Bottom Of The Lake
Lessons from the bottom of a lake
Did I die that day
When she dredged me up?
When I rejected the water that violated my lungs?
To follow my twin brother
Until feet and sand no longer met
Was the tangle of seaweed
My last true caress?
Did it fly that day
My innocence somewhere new
As panic seized my soul
Before mother's rescue?
So capable was I
Before that one embrace
So fragile am I
With knowledge of that place
That place at the silty end
That makes bubbles out of screams ...
Did I die that day
When she dredged me up?
When I rejected the water that violated my lungs?
To follow my twin brother
Until feet and sand no longer met
Was the tangle of seaweed
My last true caress?
Did it fly that day
My innocence somewhere new
As panic seized my soul
Before mother's rescue?
So capable was I
Before that one embrace
So fragile am I
With knowledge of that place
That place at the silty end
That makes bubbles out of screams ...

Empty
I miss you.
I miss you even when you're here,
Because you're never really here,
Not anymore,
And everything's always my fault, and may be, forevermore.
Not the YouTube you spend hours on,
When you're here, you're still gone.
You're eyes are empty,
They are hollow, and your words are nothing but a copy
That you hear from the internet,
You're living dead.
I've never been one to blame and bash the internet,
And I still won't fully, it's done technical wonders for our society, and yet
When I see what it's gross overuse...
I miss you even when you're here,
Because you're never really here,
Not anymore,
And everything's always my fault, and may be, forevermore.
Not the YouTube you spend hours on,
When you're here, you're still gone.
You're eyes are empty,
They are hollow, and your words are nothing but a copy
That you hear from the internet,
You're living dead.
I've never been one to blame and bash the internet,
And I still won't fully, it's done technical wonders for our society, and yet
When I see what it's gross overuse...
