Good Die Young
bullet shattered through
skin like broken glass
blood rains from the
sky as a nation cry
all cause another died
eyes barely opened to the world
feet still dry but now cold
as the good die young
before it all said and done
a mother lost a son
as his body returns to the sand
as its hard times
when the good die young

Silence Effects
Silence hunger the soul
of a grieving beast putting
him on the verge of destruction
that he takes great pleasure in
feeding those thoughts in his brain
silence widows a new voice
mind of a brilliant man sent insane though pressure
a brilliant man with a bright future
all lost
down the drain
greatness comes no more for him

Final Farewells
Complicated to the bone
mask down with reason
to let go good bye love
ones don't cry at my grave
site but set me free with a
dove of love and believe
that new days are to come
smile every time you see
a rainbow and when rain
falls remember all my tears
that i have shared together
with you. as this
is my final farewells.

Love Of Pie
Its crusted shape,
its yummy insides
it spectacular smell
oh yes it a delight
that bring joy
and family together
oh y couldn't it last forever
the days would go by
and family would be near
sipping and eating
with love and care
but when it done
everything goes back normal
and we all go our separate
way wait for the next
pie serving

Life's What We Make It
A look beyond the stars,
caught beyond the beauty of life
we stare out in to time
make the best out of what we got
the best out of everything
even the worst
oh yes
we control our future
we mold our past
one step forward
to the place i need to be
and right besides me i found you
this is life and life
is what we make of it
so be patient

Your Love
Tears in my eye
to all my fallen soldiers
in death there no lies
we weren't made to say good bye
worst days come
when your love ones
gone and it becomes hard to
move on.
times goes by and all
wounds heal but my heart
stays unamended.
no amount of rain could
wash away this pain
so may you love i forever hold
and your love i forever miss

Shadow Of The Truth
let not the truth be over shadowed
by our ignorance but allowed to be
told by the beating sensation withing our
heart and let the light of our soul be set free
for it is only when life is question
we see our true nature
all be cause no man know the
true you but the man in the mirror
and as to who is in the mirror only
we can answer that

My Dear Sister
thunder struck
as tragedy befall
upon this earth
my dear sister
i lay you to rest
that one day under
a new sun we shall meet
for as dawn set and the
sun hides take care
our love as you will
always hold near.
i put my faith in god and
hope we manage for
as sure as there is a
morning after night
is as sure as one day
we will meet again

Remember Me
remember me in life
as if i had never pass
smile oh so gently
when my name sound
laugh when my face appear in your memories
and though am not here

i will look over you up here
as long as you live down there
so remember me for the good
and wipe your eyes
for my love and my memory
is always gonna be in your heart
my dear

Reminiscing On Love
I let you slip out of my arms
and did nothing
now am here sitting in the dark reminiscing
on your love and the way we connected
you understood me
you calmed this beast in me
now am heart broken
cause of my neglect
wish it would have been better
and wish you were still here
with me, i miss your warm touch
i miss your tender love
basically baby girl i miss you
