THIS SILENCE...

How long do I have to knock, before you open?
How long do I have to tug at your heart, before it splits open?
How long will it take you to realize that your silence, leaves my heart broken,
And that your indifference leaves me constantly broken and sullen,
Baby, please tell me what you really feel,
Please tell me how you really feel,
For I know this love I feel for you is true and real,
Your beauty leaves me dazzled, but your silence leaves me confused,
This silence makes me feel ignored and refused,
So girl, please say something 'cos this silence is really killing me!

How else would I express my love for you?
How else would I reach out to you?
I stood on the rooftop but you ignored me,
I tried rhymes and rhythm but you never listened to me,
I  tried spaces, pages and writing, but you never responded to me,
I even tried calling but you never answered me,
Why have you chosen to put me through this torture?
Why have you chosen to respond with your heart's closure?
Baby please tell me, because this silence is killing me,
This silence is breaking me, and this silence is weakening me...

MAY WE REMEMBER! IV

May we never forget the likes of George Washington,
Who pioneered a revolution known to the world today as America,
May we never forget the likes of Abraham Lincoln,
Who against all odds fought for the freedom of slaves,
May we never forget the likes of Martin Luther king and Malcolm X,
Who through all adversity and pain, gave up their lives,
For the fight of equality and the furtherance of black solidarity,
May their stories and those of them I failed to mention,
Be inculcated into the tablets of our minds,
And engraved into the fibers of our beings,
May their history be imprinted into our souls;
For whatever we are, or ever will be,
Was borne-out of the lives of our heroes and heroines past,
So through it all, May We Remember!

MAY WE REMEMBER! III

Yes we are proud to be called Americans,
Living in a country called America;
A country where we are taught to aim higher and become better,
A country where our children are taught they can be whatever is their passion,
With hardwork, and determination,
A country where anyone can be successful;
You call it privileges and opportunities,
But we call it the American Dream,

But as we celebrate our independence,
As we continually extend our influence,
Let us not loose sight of our imperfection,
May we never forget our vision;
For we are still a work in progress,
A nation with some socio-cultural and political stress,
We are a project of excellence,
In search of the greatest intelligence,
Driving towards a place of all round stability,
And a pedestal of greater ability...

MAY WE REMEMBER! II

Today, we are known as the land of the free, and home of the brave,
We are a country of ourselves, ruled by ourselves and for ourselves,
We stand tall and proud through the annals of history,
And will forever be the world's envy,
As we continually define our own,

We walk down the aisles of the world,
In prestigious strides of intelligence and strength,
Setting the pace as we go,
And defining the blueprint and landmarks as we grow,
We flip through the pages of events,
Making history in every incident,
Beating our chest as the world's insight,
To a better and brighter plight,

But may we never forget,
The lives and courage of those untrained traders and farmers,
Who took the battle to the enemies's face,
Risking their lives with courageous inexperience as they set the pace,
For a free, brave and proud nation,
May we never forget,
The blood that gushed out of that black farmers chest as the enemies bullet went through him,
For that blood help secure our freedom...

MAY WE REMEMBER!

Through the dungeons of slavery,
Out of the bonds of captivity,
And from the clasps of brutality;
Against all odds,
Have we emerged,
A nation founded upon Freedom and Liberty,
Standing upon the pillars of bravery and strength,

But may we never forget the lives of those who fought,
And gave their lives to get us where we are,
May the memories of those who gave us freedom air,
Remain alive on the minds of generations unborn,
May the histories and stories of our nation's heroes and heroines past,
Be sounded continually through the chronicles of time with a blast,
And may we live to always remember!

UNTIL I FIND YOU II

So I will take my affection in my quiver,
Carry my passion in my sheath,
And through the cold will not shiver,
As I comb through the sands of time,
Sail across the seas of the earth,
Until I find you,

For I know you are somewhere out there,
So I'll search with determination,
With you my dear,
As my destination,
Until I find you,

And when I find you,
Unto you will I give my love,
My heart shall I sell to you,
In exchange for your love,

Honey, when I find you,
My heart shall be yours in all its portion,
With ecstasy shall I receive you in all affection,
And our hearts shall bond forever in eternal passion.

UNTIL I FIND YOU!

Though the journey seems unending,
And the situation long standing,
My heart, for you bears long,
And within my soul is a sorrowful song,

So I will take my heart in my hands,
Hold my love in my clasps,
And search through the four corners of the universe, even for eternity,
Forage through the borders of mortality,
Until I find you,

Though the quest seems futile,
And success appears volatile,
I know you are worth the while,
And for you I'm willing to search a long while...
