EVERYONE DREAMS

Everyone dreams
But not all
Are fulfilled
Everyone loves
But yet
Can everyone kill?
Everyone wants
But not
Everyone needs
Everyone has faith
But not everyone believes.
Everyone dreams
Some only
In the dark
Everyone hears
Some in whole
Some in part.
...EVERYONE DREAMS

LET ME LIVE

Bars on churches
Doors kept locked
Liquor store
At each corner
Who rules the block?
Children walking
Better run to school
Life in its unfairness
Can be so cruel.
Bullets flying
Whizzing overhead
Pray to God
As they go
To bed.
"Please let
Me live
For another day"
Not ready to die
Born to play!

LOVE IS A DRUG

love is a drug
that I really
don't need
heart beaten down
broken
left alone
to bleed.
you see
love played me
love used me
as a tool
played me for
a fool.
love picked
me up
then slammed
me down
crashed my world
spun me
all around.
...love is a drug
that I really
don't need
addicted no more
I finally set myself
FREE!!
