All the suffering

All the pain

Can you feel it

Can you stand it

The world has gone insane

People killing people

Blood runs down the streets

Starving women and children

Refugees in flight

Little arms and little legs

Little bodies torn apart

I hear their screams at night

What is the right thing to do

To help to ease the pain

What action to take to make a difference

Not for personal gain

You try to make a difference

You come up with a plan

You have to take a stand

No matter what you do

There will always be opposition

You must decide what counts

Nothing accomplished without sacrifice

Must stand in harms way

Anything to silence the sounds of suffering

Anything to ease the pain

Save the innocent

To calm the screams inside my dreams

And save the suffering from pain

THE TASTE OF THE PACE AT THE HEIGHT OF THE RACE



THE DRINK FUELS DESIRE WITH EACH BOOST I ACQUIRE



LIGHTS AND SIREN RESPOND AT FULL BLAST



ALL IS A BLUR FROM PRESENT TO PAST



I'M FASTER THAN TIME MOVE THRU DAY AND NIGHT



AT SUCH A GREAT SPEED, I NEVER LOOSE SIGHT



KEEP UP WITH THE SUN AND ALWAYS HAVE LIGHT



CANT WAIT TELL THE END JUST TO DO IT AGAIN



STARBUCKS YOU ARE MY MISTRESS WITH YOUR CHEMICAL LUST



TAKE ME TO ECSTASY, IN YOU I CAN TRUST



I GO HIGHER THAN ANY OTHER



I MOVE FASTER THAN ANY OTHER



I FLY, I SOAR, I WANT MORE AND MORE



MY GOAL TO QUENCH THE UNQUENCHABLE THIRST



MY MISSION TO SATISFY THE INSATIABLE APPETITE



I KNOW I WONT WIN BUT I SOOO ENJOY THE FIGHT.

FATAL AFFAIR
August 22, 2011 at 11:06pm

SOMETIMES HE HITS ME, BUT IT'S JUST CAUSE HE LOVES ME.

SOMETIMES HE TAKES WHAT HE WANTS.

SOMETIMES HE CUSSES ME AND SPITS IN MY FACE.

BUT I'VE GOT TO PUT ME BACK IN MY PLACE.

CAUSE SEE SOMETIMES I'M LONELY AND SOMETIMES I'M CONFUSED.

IT'S REALLY MY FAULT I MAY NEED TO BE ABUSED.

AT LEAST THIS WAY I KNOW HOW MUCH HE CARES.

AFTER HE HURTS ME HE CRIES REPENTENT TEARS.

I NEED HIS ATTENTION,GOOD OR BAD I'M ADORED.

FOR HURTING MEANS LOVING

AND I WONT BE IGNORED.

WHAT DO YOU WANT AND WHAT DO YOU NEED?

YOU DON'T NEED TO SUFFER.

YOU DON'T NEED TO BLEED.

YOU NEED ATTENTION.

YOU NEED SOMEONE WHO TRULY CARES.

YOU NEED A LOVING FRIEND TO SUPPORT YOU.

GET OUT OF THAT FATAL AFFAIR!

INTERRACIAL LOVE
October 24, 2011 at 11:43am

DARK SKIN, LIGHT SKIN,BROWN SKIN,

WHITE SKIN, RED SKIN,YELLOW SKIN,

PALE SKIN, FRECKLED SKIN.

WHERE DOES IT START AND WHERE DOES IT END?

AS TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE COME TOGETHER ,

TWO DIFFERENT COMPLEXIONS, TWO DIFFERENT RACES,

AND ALWAYS TOTALLY UNIQUELY DIFFERENT FACES.

FROM HEAD TO TOE, FROM BALD TO HAIR,

EVERY DIFFERENT CONTRAST MAKES SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PAIR.

WHEN LOVE IS GENUINE

HER WHITE SKIN,MY BLACK SKIN,

HER RED SKIN, HIS YELLOW SKIN,

THE SPECTRUM OF BEAUTY WILL NEVER END.

WE REVEL IN OUR CONTRAST

AND IN LOVE WE COMBINE.

AND THRU LOVE WE CREATE A NEW AND DIFFERENT DESIGN.

WHEN WE START NEW LIFE FROM WITHIN,

A UNIQUELY NEW RACE IN OUR CHILDREN WE BEGAN.

SHE ARRESTED ME
September 24, 2011 at 6:56pm

OFFICER, OFFICER, DON'T SET ME FREE

LOCK ME UP AND KEEP THE KEY

SLAP ME TEASE ME AND TORTURE ME

BUT PROMISE NOT TO SET ME FREE

READ ME MY RIGHTS, THEN VIOLATE

CUFF ME, FRISK ME, OH WHAT A FATE

TAKE AWAY MY ONE PHONE CALL

PUSH ME BACKWARDS TILL I FALL

YOU SUBDUE ME, TAKE ME DOWN

AND TORTURE ME UNTIL I FROWN

MOVE WITH HASTE AND DO NOT WAIT

AND NOW YOU MUST INTERROGATE

MAKE ME TELL YOU ALL MY CRIMES

THEN DEMONSTRATE A THOUSAND TIMES

PRESSING WELL ON INTO THE NIGHT

UNTIL SATISFIED WITH MUCH DELIGHT

THEN YOU LEAN BACK AND THEN YOU SAY

i'VE SOLVED THE CASE AND SAVED THE DAY

UNTIL NEXT TIME, NEW GAMES WE'LL PLAY

FOR THE SAGA CONTINUES...

That Kind of Love



When two hearts are meant to be

That kind of love is destiny

Doesn't happen often

But when it does

Love last through infinity

Deeper then the flesh

Right to the core of the soul

When his heart bleeds her blood

And her heart beats his beat

Living to make her happy

And she for him

When two spirits are in sync

linked forever eternally

Together only can they be free

That kind of love is destiny

Doesn't happen often

But when it does

Love lasts through infinity

He does what he could not do

She does what she was incapable of

The impossible is possible

When you got that kind of love

Rare, elusive, most people never ever find

But for those lucky few

For those true believers who manage to

Find that perfect fit, that will commit

There is no limit, there are no boundaries

Kiss the sky, fly soar, see the heavens

Dance with the angels, laugh with the children

And sing with the saints

When two hearts are meant to be

That kind of love is destiny

Doesn't happen often

But when it does

Love lasts through infinity.

I HAD DOUBLE MESSAGES POST BUT I FOUND IN MY CASE I HAD MULTIPLE BADOO WINDOWS OPEN ON THE SAME COMPUTER AND WHEN I POSTED BOTH BADOO WINDOWS POSTED THE SAME MESSAGE LEAVING DOUBLE POST. I CLOSED THE OTHER WINDOW AND ONLY POSTED ONCE PER MESSAGE.

There is no accounting for taste. The heart wants what it wants. This is the pure reason. Some people may choose a mate or date according to many logic based reasons but as for me I choose what makes my heart race.
