Love is a terrible thing-
The heart breaks to thousand pieces
Thousand of wishes spread across the ocean like dust
The anguish and guilt of shameless thoughts are burnt
Ashes suppressing concealed hunger and desires
Of hidden blushes and flirtatious eyes

Love is a terrible thing-
Un-return, the heart shatters
Heartfelt thunders soon follow lonesome rain drops,
The angels are crying, oh how I love you so,
The words’ used and tossed like a sack of rice
The birds, not at church, are feeding in the park

Love is a terrible thing-
The emotions evoked unseen thoughts
A cocoon of bashful feelings
Dreams and hopes burned like a witch
In Salem’s town square, I long and prayed
No answer, what have I done wrong?

Love is a terrible thing-
For once the heart knows and recognizes
It kinship, it travels across time and space
No doubt, a heart sits and waits for its better half
Neither wealth nor beauty can play a foul game

Love in the end is a terrible thing-
For now that I had a taste, I want no other
I would wait and affirm the rightful heir to my heart
Thousand of wishes, and thousand of kisses,
All left unshared, concealed in vivid purity

Love is a terrible thing-
For sure when the heart stops beating
Love will continue, diffusing no patience for death
Love will continue, until better souls meet half way—again.
Love is a terrible thing- for once the heart experience love
It settles for no less, contentment plays no part.

Why did the people stop singing?
And those smiles that glows bright-like sunset, or heaven’s light,
That once darken our skins-truthfully it needs to be a sin,
That our skin is being tone by bleach, maybe we need to re-teach,
The truth and pain about beauty being skin deep.
When in the past we undergo the struggles-trying to unravel our skin.
Blessed with us since creation, as if we had an option in the formation.

Why did the people stop being so strong and dreaming?
I thought we wanted freedom from all those screaming?
When we walked for more then 300 days and nights.
When we marched our ways to escape and mark the knights.
And let’s act like: the segregation, the threats, the KKKs, 9/11,
The holocausts, and the discrimination, are anything but-heavenly treatments.
Let’s act like we are not in knowledge of the causes, and the tears and pains
That broke even Gabriel’s heart, and alienate sirens.

Than why are we enslaving ourselves?
Education is free-yet we run the other way, in the foot steps of ignorance.
Persecution is slavery-yet we chose to follow the path of stupidity,
Which leads nowhere to salvation or even reservation.
And now the “Blue eyes/Brown eyes” is on the horizon while we sit and watch
Our children and friends seize prejudice, and discrimination into their minds.
Although we know it gives the false presence of supremacy-but we know the truth.
And I said STOP. But what is I in a place filled with a million,
When others sit and watch the damage of RACISM.
And now-TODAY is the time for us to be one and learn the power of STOP.
