THE POINT OF TALKING

When all speech is free
Hearing comes at a cost.

All civility is lost
And sounds to see

Hate when spoken
Bonds of love and peace are broken.

What price willing to pay
For the right to say

Who you want to hurt?

LIMITATIONS BY STATUE

Testimony to treason
But history is the reason

Used for their defense
To perpetuate the offense.

Fears that the past we erase
When it's the present afraid to face.

NO HAPPY RETURNS

Maybe I should have held on tighter
Maybe I was too blind to see
What you meant to me
Or I to you.

If I only knew
Then what now I can clearly see
What was meant to be.
Moving back to move on

Hoping to capture
What is already gone.

TEARS FROM THE SAVIOUR

Tears from the savior
Wash the bloody soil
From the souls of the
Feet of the fallen.

Stains of hatred permeate
The hearts of the lost
Children of God.
The heart beats making

The sounds of echoed
Violence. The lonely righteous
Cry for the love ofthe
Forgotten. Who will be brave
Enough to remember?

THE DEFINING MOMENT

What ever happens in life,
"Be the person you choose!".
To let others define is to lose.

Strength comes from within
So don't be pulled along
By somebody else's fight song.

Only when you dance
To your own, will
The music never be still,

THE REALITY OF REAL

You may not be
The person you
Were but you can't
Escape from the past.

No matter how much
Of a change there is
The record remains
To remind.

Facts are forever
But the truth is
Subject to perception.

TIME CHANGE

Sometimes the future
Is a past that moves
Coming together for
A present that grooves.

Lessons learned,
A new chapter can write
And out of the dark
Comes a new light.

When the past becomes
The future and the Now
Undo what is done
To make the most of what time will allow.
