To the sons of man behold She is the mother to all life on this world. To understand her emotion is to understand the world. Rule over all you dear child of God From a pig to a man there is only one blood There is good in your heart ONLY WITH LOVE YOU MUST REPRESENT GOD!
God is a God of love, Now behold God's love! But first you have to see yourself as he does. Meaning every single one of us... "Love thy neighbour as thyself" Meaning do for others as you would do for yourself, What you do to others you do to yourself, Remember with others you share this life. God has built this world on love. You've been sent to satin's grazing fields. A garden of stone & material things. You'll be surrounded by pain & suffering feelings SO THAT YOU MAY SEE WHAT GOOD MEANS! Begining & end & all inbetween. You must find knowlege in everything. This is the world of the living. Emotion is the language spoken by animal & human. Now listen & hear God speaking. Without hearing see as a deaf man does, Without seeing feel the world as a blind man does, Teach the dumb & listen to the mute, Blind your eyes to skin colour, Do not discrimunate against one another, Only bad comes from hate for another! Be ever loving & forgiving of wrong against you, So that they may feel shame & regret for doing wrong to you! Do not consider yourelf higher than another. Coz even a stranger is your neighbour! Will to give makes you open to recieve. You will be treated & juged by the living accourding to your deeds. You as a rich man must befriend the poor. So that your children may see past material value & there be no more discrimunation between you two. Its not a sin to be rich but beware material value! LOVING MATERIAL POSSESIONS IS HOW SATIN BLINDS YOU! Do not walk with hate in your heart. For it will blind your heart from guidance from God. Do not follow sociaty who goes to church to be seen. Go to worship him & no other reason. God is not blind to social acting... You know so much but understand so little its dissapointing. YOU SHALL GIVE ANSWER USING THE HOUSE OF GOD TO IMPRESS MEN WITH THE TEMPORARY THINGS OF THE LIVING. Satin is not welcome in heaven!
It's a ripple affect Infect some and what you get An epedimic can you forget? When it touches your feet to your chest... I was born in this mess The hood tols stories and yet..
The outcome is more than you get Off a 5 minute story on cbs Most of it just be B.S. Not the degree..Sorry let me regress Top down I see speeding vets Dope dealers I see them yes
What can but be the best Serve on the corner Never need a check Listen to rappers say "We The Best" But I don't think you see it yet
I mean that ripple affect It effects some Like aids in Africa Starts off small and swarms plenty Have I seen gun violence....Yes plenty Drive by's like fly by's keep shooting until the clips empty Never cops on the streets so so empty
Have you seen the prisons cells? Yes Yes plenty Pick him out...Lock him up...I'm talking any Rap music has gotten to the point of being silly No more messages just silly How many tapes have I bought lately Well not many....
It's a ripple affect Some drugs in bodies will effect Die on street conors organs disect Wow your donor...Might as well be a loaner You were dead when you were born Maybe you should stand tall and be strong What we do a/effects the lives of so many
Hey BPC...Here's a little sum'in from me for TRUE DAT THURSDAYS...
HATERS
Are people who want what you have They want what you got But don't have a pot to piss in Or a window to throw it out They are irritated Seemingly discombobulated And will smile in your face But want to take your place They talk about you behind your back Such a cowardly act Wishing they could be behind the wheel of your automobile Your identity they'd quickly steal Sometimes they cringe at your presence Highly upset about your motivation Say all kinds of negative things about you And the oxymoron is that they would love to do what you do They comment on everything From your hair to your clothes, your car to your house They become so fixated on you They don't know how to shut their mouth Always talking trash Like a loud mouth in class So worried about you Things in their lives start to slip through You have to watch a Hater Pay close attention Like watching a T.V. show Before the intermission They can be slick They can be bold Plots and plans to bring you down Their hearts are very cold Hateration is real Not false, but true You never know if you got a Hater Who is in your Crew So keep an eye out and your ears open For some things that may come to light Don't be surprised if you ever discover A Hater to your left and to your right Sometimes they are the ones you never thought Would act in such a way And always remember A Hater dreams to live life in your shoes everyday!
I have been told by a dear Friend that I should share my writings with you all so here we go..
28Days.
I am ruled by the moon, My anger builds as I change! Every 28 days I take this stage My rage Knows no bounds My anger Knows no range 2 others I seem very strange I growl as I transform I notice peepz show so much scorn Fear is in their heart But I’ll return at dawn Between these two worlds I am torn So many pieces of me Just I like a cob of corn
But change I must Out of this cycle I wan to bust
But its part of me My DNA, My life My his-tory this makes me
Now its time 2 follow the way Of the Ninja, of the Warrior That resides inside of me I will be the light of a new day Strong & continuous for 12 hours This is 2 b my new way I am moulding my new life I worry who will See my rage & have 2 pay This shi* happens every 28 days Cause I am ruled by the moon & it will be full again soon I’m the werewolf. The Abyssinian The Slave The solider The Ninja I’m out of the Cocoon You’ll hear me ROAR real soon.!

Hey Black Poetry Cafe...Just stoppin by to say hi and to bless your page with a little something from me...
Poetic Flow
This poetic flow that I have My pen to the paper, damn I’m bad The words just guide From my hand to the pad It’s like a thought unfinished Until my hand and wrist get to itching Then the words flow out so slick, so smooth Like my personality, so very cool It just hits me like a flash of light That’s when I begin to write Rhyming words and phrases Always giving praises I don’t know how I got it Where it came from But I take my pen and paper And with a thought I run Writing words as they come to mind Never hesitating, just writing my rhymes I don’t know how it happens, but one thing I do know God has blessed me, with this Poetic Flow…
