Christmas Christmas Christmas



That’s the Holiday about the Lord, RIGHT?!?!!
The Holiday when people fight in stores Right?!?!?!
Allll about BLACK Friday deals
Not about Christ’s blood that heals
Buying gifts for pookie, june bug, an ‘em
Although they still aint got Jesus in them
Hookin kids up with X-box Kinect
Christ, or is it X; no wonder people forget.
Well I’ve had all the pleasures a phat X-mas can bring
And none of that helped me when my heart life did sting
Nothing money could do, nothing you could buy
I had to seek my healing through the baby born to die
In all your shopping you can’t by salvation
Although that message is obscured in this ravenous nation
So I start where I began, Christmas Christmas Christ.  Mass
That’s the gift I leave with, The gift of his love that will last and last.

The Scent of Desperation

Posted by SLC | |

When men smell desperation
It’s just like perspiration
That brings about meditation
That leads to a situation
That takes away your dedication
That leads you into condemnation
That really leads to complication
That takes you out of circulation
And eventually brings humiliation
It deadens your sense of illumination
That leads you into devastation
Next thing you know there’s no dedication
You move away from your obligation
And all because of desperation
Do you think you’re the only in the population
Who have had the scent of desperation?

What You See Is……

 

There was time that when I saw women, I saw sex

 

So I spoke sex, and I got sex

 

There was a time that, when I saw me, I saw misery,

 

So I spoke and sought misery, and thus I got misery

 

Misery from waking up and trying to remember this stranger’s name

 

Misery from feeling the familiar void in life’s games

 

Misery of trying to stay up late as if I could delay a new day of ……misery

 

 

Was a time when I saw women I saw greed,

 

And for some strange reason, all I could get, was greed

 

Wasn’t what I wanted, but maybe my misery wanted company.

 

 

One day someone saw me, and saw hope

 

So they spoke hope, and they got hope

 

They turned me to you, and you said “I am love”

 

Couldn’t see it at first, but when I could see it, I sought it

 

I could see it, I could get it

 

One day I met her, and somehow I saw……your…love….in….her

 

I could see love, I was scared, but I spoke love

 

And finally I could get love

 

Thanks for helping me see you, and get you, in everything I do.

 

Thanks for helping me to see better, so I could get….better

CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC

Posted by SLC | |

Cautiously Optimistic, while long range realistic

(or is that pessimistic in disguise)

Enjoying the warmth your closeness brings

Trying to forget past breakups and stings

Grover Washington said Let it Flow

Freddy Jackson said Nice and Slow

Stevie said everything is alright,

But Luther said If Only for One Night

 

So with my feet firm on the ground

While trying to keep my hear out the clouds

Feeling my heart wanting to soar

Ignoring common sense and history’s roar

I know I hold too tightly to past pains

Which is worse than going back down memory lane

Who am I kidding it’s time to be bold

I’ll let go of the reigns and let fate (faith) take hold

Cautiously optimistic, but long range realistic

Life without love, is no life at all

But love sometimes hurts, don’t be afraid to fall
