When I born, I not good
whether in the big house or the 'hood
When I grow up, I learn more bad
people all around make me mad
...

Tough talons came out and ripped the dynasty apart.
1960 I wasn't even born, but 2018 alive to see the miracle rise with a strong new heart!

Birds busted Bradys ego within minutes and we heard the underdogs howl "Victory is ours, swoop down and dig in! "
...

Are You the one I look to every day?
Are You the one, guiding all my ways?
Are You the Lord, the ancient end of days?
Who draws me close, even when I run away?
...

Loosely based on verses from early and last chapters of Ecclesiastes

CHORUS:
Wisdom of the ages
...

What May Be
Maybe the sun and wind will agree.
May be the stars will light a path now only dimly seen.
Maybe the next thing you see, you won’t even believe;
...

Days back I’d be runnin the streets,
...

Some say avoid 13 at all costs
The Interfaith PeaceWalk debunked that superstition and ushered in our Bar Mitzvah with overwhelming spiritual showers of blessing!

Turning 13 has great significance:
...

Please please, mommy daddy - can this all be a dream and not (a) reality (tv show) ?

I see now that cynicism is under-rated but at least this time smiles didn't hide the lies.
...

Lord save us from this unholy terror
Thinks soldiers blood holier than yours
Prays you revive his tv ratings but brags that whatever
no one can replace him.
...

Oh Pakistan!Khoobsarat Zaberdast Jaberdasti - Zindabad!
Beautiful, Dangerous, Willy Nilly - may the land of the pure have long long life!
In Islamabad I come to find that monuments of grandeur give peace of mind for just a moment of time
Too soon I hear falsehood of "my house if your house anytime".
...

I want to be silent this weekend.
I want not to harass any my friends.
Some suggest, 'why don't you get a dog or a cat? '
Allergies, darn allergies! So cats are definitely out……
...

Holiday times are here!
Which one will you celebrate, my dear?
Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanza
So many meanings, so many colors.
...

Carry me away, back to the day.
Back to our fun and loving ways.
Back to the time when love used to shine
thru the rhythm and rhyme.
...

Father in heaven // holy, holy is your Name.
Father in heaven // your majesty we proclaim.
May your kingdom come on the earth,
//as we live and share your story.
...

Patience is not my strong suit
Especially when wondering if endlessly I will wait
for a suitable suitor.
Imperturbability and impenetrability escape me.
...

Somewhere in the dark of night a woman takes to flight
afraid to go, but even more terrified to stay
because now he knows and so life is always a fight day after day!
So with a baby on her side, a couple of diapers and fistful of fives
...

Messiah God vs Mere Man

Riots, raids, invasions
Rallies, marches, mayhem
...

Bones he calls me.

Lord, I've acquired more meat
on dees bones than I care to admit.

Tru tho, major fault aint mine,
...

Passed up once again!
After unexpected full out open hearted offering,
got only a heart slam.
Proverbs say there's a lid for every pot.
...

Here I lie, sick as a dog
Tween chills and fever
Going in and out of a fog
Only good thing bout it
...
