Escape Route

I do not want to pass by another day
And I hope the pain it has caused me will soon go away
I have to dig deep in my soul
To remove the sights I see each day

Today she is in pain and anguish
Was it the news she heard
As she threw herself to the ground
With everyone else just standing around

I felt her pain
I saw her cry
As she called out to the Lord, please make me die
How long will this pain last?

I say a quiet prayer for her
And I still see her through my rear view mirror
Weeping and in deep sorrow
Dear God please take away her pain by tomorrow

Fence

From behind the zinc fence she peered
Wondering what's on the streets of Kingston today
She lives in a world, best known to her kind
But ignorance of their circumstances is rampant

The Ghetto, mental or real
Their pain I cannot say I feel
But I know, its just not the same
Across the entire society

They are different, but are they really?
Are they products of their circumstances?
Or masters of their destiny?
Could it one day change?

After all these years, now you know who is spilling her guts!

Anew

Why settle for less when you can get the best?
So easy we end up on the second playing field
And may just be wondering is this the best deal
For my heart, my time, for me?

I have found the best and I deserve no less
Its time to renew the faith
To start brand new
To forget what was or could have been

It is simply beautiful, almost magical
To be connected heart to heart
To know that of her world you will always be a part
Shed the skin and start anew

As if you havent done so!!

Diamond Heart

He had a heart like a diamond
Glisteningly bright
Illuminating my heart
It reaches for my soul
What a beauty it is to behold

I see the reflection through the sharpest cut
Of lovers dancing in the rain
Kissing and having fun
Bonding and moving upwardly, in love
