Let Go Of Those Woes You Hold

If you can't see it.
You've been too distant,
From love.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And if you can't feel it...
It isn't love you wish,
Or want to think of.

Let go of those woes you hold.

It's there to solicit.
Love.
You can't resist it.
Love.
To say you're not within its grip,
Is to admit you can't handle it.

If you can't see it.

Opinions From Them Sent

Don't let that flight in sight needed to catch,
Miss you wishing for a ride...
To clear your eyes from others tripping.
As you are kept mesmerized,
Within their grip.

Don't be afraid to tell some people quickly...
To stay out of of your business.
Since that business that you're in...
Does not accept opinions given.

Don't let that flight in sight needed to catch,
Miss you wishing for a ride...
To clear your eyes from others tripping.
As you are kept mesmerized,
Within their grip.

People always give them...
Those opinions from them sent.
People always give them...

My Worth I Already Know

I am not one so quick
To pass my friendship around.
Or solicit acceptance
From those with frowns.

I know my feet are planted steadily,
On the ground.
With other clowns!
In pretense.
That this circus lived...
Strains from decadence.

And cheerful smiles,
Should be passed around.
Even if one is feeling down.

No!
Uh-huh.

I am not one so quick

Whatever It Takes To Participate

Fed to greed.
That's it.
Not to solicit with a consciousness,
To correct with a higher learning...
A resolving of any conflicts that today exists!

Fed to self indulge.
Spend and waste.
Whatever it takes,
To participate.

And the later time gets,
To correct what misfits...
Minds will find they are addicted,
To whatever it is that keeps them unfit.

Fed to greed.
That's it.
Not to solicit with a consciousness,
To correct with a higher learning...

Suggestions

Few suggestions do I make.
Especially to those,
Who solicit them.

Most times folks await,
Suggestions they prefer and like.
And it becomes difficult,
To be both honest and polite...
With someone who tries to define,
My interpretation...
Of what I 'really' meant.
To defy in denial...
With a prepared and customary,
Excuse.

Few suggestions do I make.
Especially to those,
Who solicit them.

When I know I am honest in my assessments.

Works-In-Progress

Pain!
Much of it,
We do not solicit.
A lot of it comes and shocks.
As it stays with us to visit.

It is hard to ignore.
Or get rid of it.
No one consciously explores...
With intelligence.
Why pain hurts to the core.
Or selects who to pick.

No one delights one bit emotionally.
And we choose to accept God knows...
How deeply felt our tragedies.
With a fixing that mends our broken hearts,
Unconditionally...
When that happens.

Assigned And Commissioned

The picture,
On a canvas painted...
Depicts a specific image,
Much greater than that...
Than the stature presented,
By the creator who made it.
For purposes to solicit a public exhibit.

Certain people selected will be forgiven,
For misdeeds intended.
Since they have an ability to diffuse truth.
No matter how low,
They may stoop to deceive.
With a getting of a reprieve...
To contnue doing as they please.

However...
There is a placement unmistakable,
For others labelled too abstract.
And into custom fittings...

Choice Of Tone and Arrogant Demeanor

Why is it,
People solicit to get opinions...
Then wish them to be edited,
To appease their expectatons.

And those who refuse to honor their requests
Are thought to be stand-offish...
With an angering of those that stir up protests,
Against someone who attempts not to get them upset.

And yet it does,
And they do...
By trying to protect their sensitivities.
But the depth of them had not been explored,
To make known.

Why is it,
People solicit to get opinions...
Then wish them to be edited,
To appease their expectatons?

Fetishes

Some may have their fetishes,
As a fixation or a reverence to give.
Without a profit to solicit,
An attention to get.
They have purposes for fetishes for them to live.

And there are those who choose to take risks,
At their own expense.
To leave those who have fetishes,
To do what it is!
To leave those who have fetishes,
To do what it is!

Some folks can not mind their own business,
'Cause their lips move too quick.
Some folks can not mind their own business,
'Cause their lips move too quick.
Some folks can not mind their own business,
'Cause their lips move too quick.
They'd be better off alone to nourish their fetishes!

Engrossed and Trapped

They feel the freedom to express the affects,
Of today's racism.
As technologies advance.
To leave mindsets like these...
Engrossed and trapped within their insecurities.

One would never believe these conversations breed,
This kind of attention in the year two thousand and ten.

There seems to be more focus on one's color of skin.
By ignorant radio talk show hosts...
Being paid top dollar,
To use the airwaves to solicit a hatred...
That validates the feelings of those who listen.

Whites who describe themselves,
As disliking blacks, browns and jews.
Are given this kind of authorized soapbox...
To discuss their self righteousness.
And who should live as they choose.
