Not even if you call an eye a nose
and a nose an eye.
Blind in one nose,
deaf in one eye.
Lead is heavier than sand.
Light as a feather, or as heavy a lead,
we need justice.
Psalm 139
Jah, you have searched me and, known me. You know my sitting down and my rising up. You understand my thoughts afar off. You comprehend my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word on my tongue, but behold, oh Jah, you know it altogether. You have hedged me behind and before and laid your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, it is high I cannot attain it. Where can I go from your spirit? Or where can I flee from your presence? If I ascend into heaven, you are there. If I make my bed in hell, behold, you are there. If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost part of the sea, even there your hands shall lead me and your right hand shall hold me. If I say, Surely, the darkness shall fall be light about me. Indeed, the darkness shall not hide from you. For you formed my inward parts, you covered me in my mothers womb. I will praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Marvelous are your works and that my soul know very well. My fram was not hidden from you when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the lowest part of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed, and in your book they all were written. The days fashioned for me when as yet there were none of them.

Your Arms Are Open
T he most beautiful as a precious ingredient your arms are open wide both night and day, sough are the few born naturally gifted. Many faint in desire of what they would gain. I unveil my heart of transparent shades.
Adjusting to relationship is often a difficult process. Its fortunate you have made this course as smooth as possible from the sloop atmosphere with no substitute. Your substance are wonderful, often giving meaningful advice personally a reward to my life, giving eternal love and pride how many time I rise having no regrets in my mind. You emulate the beauty happiness brought from the universe. Life is a story. Another mystery and we are the story teller. I am that man, that man that is good, born out of love, duration of my infinite soul. An oracle of ancient times within my mind, expanding my imagination of the cycle of life. I have discovered, before, and beyond, eons of the immediate present, atoms ameliorating the unknown universe. A universe slowly expanding, earth scientifically shrinking, getting heavier in weight, failing natural life on a daily basis. Another mystery to mans minute means to indulge of answering overwhelming, unanswered, questions. With the choices, deadly reaction, and consequences. Maybe or not, two words I wont let defy my wisdom, knowledge, and understanding, Praise Jah Manifestations, of the heavens and earth. Who fashion this day I have to live, live in a world in trouble. This I acknowledge. Though some may differ, not even assuming the same, denying the fact. But I know, that I know. Man is responsible, Jah give him dominion over everything, that is good.
Thank you for being who you are to me each day you are in my life showing me a special love and care, making me proud of your knowledge and understanding, being there in the moments when I needed you most. Thank you for everything mother.
Thank you for taking care of my cloths and keeping me clean, cooking me a descent meal, sure I was never hungry.
These are the reasons why I love so, you know me inside out, my dos, and my donts, my ups, and down, good and bad, you know when I am sick, or when I am happy and when I am sad. Its no wonder why I love you so you know when I am right, you know when I am wrong when I am telling lies or when I am telling the truth. You know that I want you to be mines girl. You know that I am in love with you, there no wondering why you know me, you know I mean every word that I say.
Smiling Faces
Y our best friend is your worst enemy. Ive seen all my eyes have allowed me to see and heard it all many times before in many different ways. Nobody is telling it anymore as it is what is real. Little do we know that so little has been donea lot to lose, a lot to learn. The heart is deep. Destruction walks with smiling faces. Who knows what is in the heart of man? Sure you got a lot of friends and same amount of enemies. Whos counting? Its like a curse, underestimating petty, jealous friends you keep and have fun with. You dont know whom to trust. The questions I ask myself is: are poor men better than a liar? Is bread to the wise favor to the skilled? What if my friend is just a hypocrite? Can a lost friend ever be regained? Time may change this understanding, but I bet it would never cease. Good friends are those you cherish the opportunity to do the right things, bearing the responsibility. No ifs, no buts, no maybes, no in-betweens. My eyes have seen, ears have heard. Theres a problem that urgently needs fixing.
The road to destruction is an easy one. The gates are open wide, but to walk the straight and narrow road and escape from hell to the upper air, this is when the trouble start.
Rejection Is Not A Good Feeling
I have been to New York, Mexico, and on the other side of the globe. Life is full of its usual disappointments, and rejection is not a good feeling, I know. I walk along the horizontal line, displaying a symbolic language. Attraction of the intelligence of the pen.
Wherever I go, this feeling goes. Sharing thoughts of my experience. I got to make some sense of change. The first thing I discovered was loyalty in question. Some will even push you down, though you have already fallen, but you call me your friend.
