I'm a Warrior
Don't bleed of fear
Armed and ready for battle
Anytime Anywhere
Don't look for trouble
But if trouble be
Skies of lightning and thunder
Strike my enemies
Am a Warrior
No one's too Big
To be cut down and defeated
By Grace of GOD they will
I'm the Warrior
Its win, Win or Die
Stand up for LOVE be not afraid...
Raise Swords up high

The sun a golden glow
The wind began to blow
Rain a blessing for all
Summer changed into fall
Seeing the moon was blue
The change would come we knew
Trees will gently mellow
Their leaves turning yellow
Enemies will unite
No longer will they fight
Tom will marry Sally
Peace comes to the valley

WHAT IF…..
What if we saw…
Beauty, in this world, not ugliness.
What if we heard…
Not propoganda but truth!
What if we felt…
Love for all humanity…
What if…
We really loved this world?
What if we trusted…
Not seeing many, as enemies?
What if love replaced fear….
Tell me…what would the world be like?

No, my loving friend,
Enemies we were never born but we were made
By all those evil men who had the most to gain
Thus I implore you ready to be each other to embrace
Forgetting to which religion we belong and to what race!

love,
I search,
Am I a lost cause?
I speak to all, to friends
To enemies.
Where can she be?
My love is nowhere to be found.
I search for her daintiness,
Her dark black fringe,
Her lithe contours so marvellous.
Her red full lips.
Am I pursuing a foolish dream?
A glimpse.
That’s all I ask.
I will be in paradise.
Tell her it was just a random remark.
I love her till the end of times.
And I wander around the main streets,
Searching,
Searching.
I am not much I know,
But I need her.
I saw a glimpse of her.
She smiled.
But it could not be her!
Her hair was red.
Could she have played a trick on me?
I only see red now.

Jealousy is not the fear of losing
but the feeling that our position is threatened
As wet sand between your toes, unwanted
Sometimes jealousy turns into obsession
There are many wars, love your enemies ... never
We fight for love as a tender and small sparrow
Bitter taste, there is a fly in the soup

Your sweet nectar
wraps around my senses
like jungle vines
steady drums beating
Your heart near mine
Your strong hands
hold me suspended
by my waist
Just enough pain and strength
against my supple skin
For my taste
The musk of your
sculpted body and the forest
has me going wild
But yet, the tender way you
protect me, reminds me of
Being a child
A safe familiarity
with a strain of animalistic
seduction
Your invisible hold over me
leaves me arrow poisoned
Unable to function
My long dark hair wraps you
with smells of coconut and ocean Sun
your locks full of mud and enemies
Blood
together, my warrior
We make One

brother, family,
why is it easier to look at you
through one eye as opposed to two
when we should be totally
enamored with the thought
that we have come this far
we of flesh and blood, but enemies of spirit
cannot go on this way
a desert of parched emotions
cherry wood furniture atop marble floors
transformed our home into
an oasis of tears and coffee
this trivial mirage under scathing sun light
left us grappling for sustenance
be it water or be it love
empathy should be our cry
we stood hand in hand me and you
now with grey hair for a crown
these life stories on our face
we joust over flashbacks
and weakened rungs

Out on the horizon dances the animals,
free from their bondage that held them once.
They are hidden well you must look hard to see
them through the brush, grass, and the trees.
Enemies, prey for others to eat they were once but,
but now they all are dancing free out on the horizon.

forgiveness, friendship, love,
We two aged friends were caught today,
By shared glance. Words I could not say
entranced. Not you, new friends looked on,
As old friends spoke. The grey false dawn
Broke thoughts while round us sunset played
Once enemies trapped in the fray,
Alike, but souls between us lay,
When we our disparate colours donned.
We two aged friends.
Freed, parted, only you could pray
Cold comfort: if we’d met halfway
Then emptiness would be foregone,
Time would let quarrels be withdrawn.
You loved not, yet this eve you stayed.
We two aged friends.

Peace is not just the absence of war
Peace is the noblest goal to work for
Peace between mother and father, sister and brother
Peace between friends and strangers, and all the others
***********
Consider Aaron, the High Priest of Old
Who brought enemies together, so bold
To love peace, to pursue it, was Aaron's creed
Love of his fellow man, his greatest deed
He was Moses' older brother, yet humble, down-to-earth
His burning quest for peace the measure of his worth
*************
Peace needs step aside for Truth, some say
I say, True Peace ~ for Truth lights the way

Jesus, Your love changed me
Your love made the difference
You loving me changed me
I’m not the same
I’ve been changed
I’m a new person
Changed from the inside out
Jesus, Your love changed me
Your love made the difference
You loving me changed me
I can pray for my enemies
I can turn the other cheek
Jesus, Your love changed me
Your love made the difference
You loving me changed me
I can love, love unconditionally
I can bless those who curse me
Although not always easy, I can do it
Yes, I can do it
Jesus, Your love changed me
Your love made the difference
You loving me changed me
Changed me from the inside out

THE ALCHEMIST (IV)
Silence and words can be both lovers and enemies
but they are always mutually dependent upon one
another; one cannot exist without the other.
It is the poet who is alchemist sending off
his well-weighted words in search of the prize,
the Philosopher’s Stone that will transform them
into the gold to be joyfully received by his beloved,
hyacinths on the breeze, wine for our date,
first light of dawn and the dream ends.
Take comfort from the silence and learn presence
from the words, there is no space between..
Cast your best spell White Feather, to woo the butterfly
to your garden and the sweetest nectar.

Togetherness
You know not a word of my language
I know not a letter of yours
We lay somewhere in a dark corner
Passing on –
Passing on warmth.
You know not my friends or my enemies
I know not your joy or your grief
We lay somewhere clearly forgotten
Passing on –
Passing on peace.
You know not how to cause me pain
I know not how to hurt your pride
We lay somewhere, and plan to go nowhere -
Keep passing on –
Passing on life.
We know not tomorrow’s direction
We know not the days that will last
We lay somewhere, and there’s nothing happening -
We lay somewhere where there is
Just us…

It was to love deeply and unconditionally
It was not to compromise my well being
It was to regard any human being with fairness and equality
Never judge a book by its cover
Never make a promise you cannot keep
Never underestimate your enemies
Never anticipate your heart desires
It was to stand up for those I cherished
It was to fight for what I believed in
It was to embrace my humanity

I Don’t know
that God has favorites
or enemies…
probably just behavior
he loves or deplores--
then again, who am I
to put limits on God?
For those who love Him
swear He is a personal God;
and those who are estranged
seem to have a hell-of-a-time
to compare--
and, of course, there is the Atheist
who stands alone in himself
while I could not live alive
without experience of spirit:
sort of like, eating only the skin
of an orange--or seeing the surface
of a great sea, unaware of the
myriad world within….

A friend of a friend is never a friend,
Enemies seem to follow you,
down that dead end.
What’s real?
Love is never pretend,
Well…..love used to be real before text and send.
Love is lust and lust is….trust.
Trust is just love without the fights and fuss.
Is that real? Depends on who’s asking?
Who’s want loves without the passion?
Imagine if love left trust at the alter?
Left love without a father,
And never was there to teach them trust?
Then it’s tough luck,
Dawn to dawn, dusk to dusk.
Without a meaning,
Caught inside a constant state asking what?
I thought you knew?

Oh! Lord teach me
Show me thy ways
Teach me the ways
Show me how to love mine enemies;
And lift up those burdens I inspired;
Heal me, God...
Lead me by your truth
and teach me,
for you are the God
Oh! Lord teach me
Show me thy ways
Teach me the ways
Lead me by your truth
and teach me,
for you are the God
He who saves me. All-day long
I put my hope in you thank you God Hallelujah

Lovers then we became strangers
now full blown adversaries
enemies
gladiators armored for destruction.
This is no longer a relationship
it is a ruthless affair
a house of cards
kill zone
minefield 101.
Words sharp than machetes
actions colder than waterboarding
we massacred us
we are locked up in solitary confinement
you the king of North
and this Nubian Monarchy is mine.
To the last Iron and Crown standing
its game on!

I have a secret that is very simple.
I’ll share it with you if I may.
When you can’t sleep,
Don’t count sheep.
Pray...
Pray for those you love,
And those who don’t love you.
Pray for your friends,
And for your enemies too.
Pray for your family-
All of them, not just one or two.
Pray for everyone who is sick, hurting, or lost.
And when you feel you are through,
Pray for you.

beautiful,
What demons lurk in government leaders?
Our lives like toys to play and discard?
Hearts frozen in fear
Snakes coiled to strike
Gas or virus, from enemies within
You may overcome us, sicken and slay
But remember the 3%, from
Revolutionary days!
I stand with my brothers, to the last man
Hell hath no fury
Like an American band!
Rock from the streetcorners!
Resistence is strong!
Gabriel's horn section
Angels sing along!
Through smoke and the tears
God fights at our side
His grace will sustain us
His love will survive!
Now join with me brothers
Sisters come too!
You won't want to miss
This concerts for you!
