Look deep into my soul,
What is it that you see?
That everso perfect dream girl
You mold me to be?...
That everso bright green apple
From that gorgeous apple tree?
Many portray me to be flawless...
I guess there is much yet to find out.
Who am I...what am I about?
What do I look like inside out?
Slowly, but surely,
I am dripping hints from my spout.
Will they be caught in your cup?
Or fall deep into the drain?
Still that perfect dream girl do I remain?
Am I perfect if I stumble over my words?
I am greedy, steady grabbing
For seconds and thirds.
My head is spinning faster
Than the talk that is heard.
So, am I still flawless?
Am I still pure?
Am I pure if the words
I speak are far from nice?
If I were to be "souled",
What would be my price?
Would it be any larger
Than the dots on some dice?
Am I on point even then?
It may take a thousand
Earthquakes to make me budge.
Like it takes more than
Cocoa to make that delicious fudge.
It takes time and patience
To find the center of MY soul.
Once you get there...
Then, YOU can be the judge.

Your fire,
Pasted firmly onto my heart,
Has burned for years
And will continue to...always.
The good that you do makes my heart stronger.
So there is more heart to burn.
The evil and sins that I see within
Make my heart hotter,
Burning it faster.
The more good that is done,
More of my heart you have won.
If no good is done,
You have burned my heart to NONE.

H ypnotizing E yes
The reason you mean so much to me
Is not because you are popular,
Is not because you have a motorcycle,
Is not because your teeth are perfect
And your dimples take over when you smile.
But because when I look into your eyes
I can see forever...a deepness that goes
Into infinity and beyond.
I go off into a daydream from which
I cannot be awaken. I am sucked in...
Sucked into your infinity.
It's like a black hole and it has taken me
As its prisoner. But am I a prisoner
If I don't want to leave?
Yes I am satisfied. I feel warm and safe.
I've never seen a black hole in anyone else's eyes.
So I shall treasure this moment...every moment
That I fall deep into your black hole.

Love can mount so incredibly high,
I barely know how to explain.
But once that love has fallen,
It may feel like your heart has sprained.
But you can gain back that love,
It may take a while or two.
Just have patience and work hard,
And that love will come back for you.
But if something feels funny,
And that love is not the same. . .
That means you must take charge,
And that something has to change.
Let that love know how much you care,
And that you want to protect your heart.
But if your shielded heart has broken,
Then that love, once again, has fallen apart.
To keep that love from falling down,
You must help it to rise and rise like
Maya Angelou, Only through those eyes,
will that love still be true.

WHITEMANhurtBLACKMAN...BLACKMANkillWHITEMAN.
Back in the day,WHITEMAN was livin' large.
Now in these days,BLACKMAN is in charge.
"Equality", WHITEMAN don't want.
"Equality", BLACKMAN don't get.
WHITEMAN got guns...BLACKMAN got fists.
WHITEMAN got MTV...BLACKMAN got BET.
Eagle 97.7 is "whack",But 101.7 is "black".
Why it got to be about race?
Look deep into a WHITEMAN face,
You realize you see a BLACKMAN face.
Color is not supposed to matter.
Tommy wanted his kind to wear Hilfiger...
Instead, it is worn by "us".
"We" allow all to wear FUBU,
Even though it is "For Us, By Us".
I know God didn't want this to happen.
Just keep on praying, and hopefully,
There will be a "GRAYMAN World"...
No longer "BLACK" and "WHITE".

There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer;
no disease that enough love will not heal;
no door that enough love will not open;
no gulf that enough love will not bridge;
no wall that enough love will not throw down;
no sin that enough love will not redeem...
It makes no difference how deeply seated may be the trouble;
how hopeless the outlook; how muddled the tangle; how great the mistake.
A sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all.
If only you could love enough you would be
the happiest and most powerful being in the world...
