The Light through Mountains and Oceans of Darkness


 Do see the light

Can you continue to find

My eyes which are moonlight

Will they be forever bright (A candle, my heart’s eternal flame)  

Because you know (The flame is like a fuel to my entire frame)

God made it so (In my very own mind)(Don’t be ashamed of who you are)  

You can shine, baby shine (Baby you’re a star, wherever you are)

Everything will alright

Smiling down on me

Even when the skies grow gray

I see the streets everything meant rays of red illegally frayed

Meant to be.  Shadows speak perfectly flawed  these days

Look around beautiful

And plenty the dirty

The hungry, the poverty in the city

Foolish men and sisters run with envy (Tragedy has never been with me)

A malicious man aint pretty, Nothing like a woman scorned(Torched and torn between two extremes)

Steal your joy away and make to say (Life is never quite what it seems, happens when your making plans)

I can’t do this and that

I will hear your cry in the night

Though the sharks and the sand do not mix

I will try my best to fix it all

Because you know

God made it so

You can shine, baby shine

Everything will be alright

Smiling down on me

Ugliness and hatred I can’t read

On the widows face

Staring outside of the graze

On the craze of a wicked twisted vicious society

Precocious children listen from oceans floating from overseas to see

Their very own dignity, But never will you see them claim pity me

Freaking ditto me, dichotomy in a world of men, the sickness is inexplicit lack of control

The room is the elephant that screams you haphazardly haggard to play the role

Of stereotypes based on pretenses, mistakes, and predilections

My prediction is that your reputation is a bowl of bull ish and your true nature just needs to evicted

Your conflicted, found guilty unstable with the character of so
