My life is full
because what I have
Came in gifts of 2
A double gift
My God gave me
To make my dreams come true
My God is great
He blessed my life
One evening in July
Like a great flight of stairs based in the center of a garden,
Sturdy, beautiful, glimmering, their nobility ardent.
Our history a great mystery filled with tales of glory.

CLOSE YOUR EYES AND VISUALIZE A BETTER WAY OF LIFE... I CAME HERE TO CREATE A MORE PEACEFUL LIFE... I FELT AS IF IT WAS TIME FOR ME TO REALLY BE HEARD... MAYBE TODAY WAS MY DAY TO SEE THE BEAUTY MY WORDS.. I USUALLY WRITE AS I THINK...
jump in the game no here to complain
being busy as a bee in a land of make believe
we shoot for the top but it ends in the flames
let me be the first to explain
I'm staying in the game this is my time
Come take out your bible
Let us start a revival
Unification is the plan
Grab your bothers hand
We shall all live to understand
The drunkard in the gutter is still are brother

Adopting a New Land
When I moved from Ukraine
there was a lot of pain
New faces
New places
I didn't know what to think
let alone, let it sink

is what many refuse to say,
how can an old message become less true,
our president wanting to get back to old roots,
sadly his trees are losing fruit,
Muslim Bans,
Forget the blood lines that make our trees bright red
Forget the colors that highlight our lively skin
Brothers, sister, mothers and fathers
We are all something bigger, better and stronger
Yet…
Great
Has integrity
Is not soft spoken
Is strong but not unfeeling
Is resilient through suffering
Is forgiving but never a doormat
America
Has abandoned the poor
The United States is one of the greatest to exist
For its freedom of our citizens will forever persist.
Some say that freedom is a made-up ideal
Land of the free? More like land of the fee.
Changes need to hapen before we all flee.
America is not the same because we are not glee.
Men are not equal.
Power and money makes mankind evil.
A nation dedicated
To equality is great.
On paper,
No nation greater.
But if all men are created equal
America the Beautiful
With the open fields and high mountains
And the clouds dancing across the skyline
America the Strong
With a military protecting our citizens
And our citizens protecting our rights
We live, we laugh, we love, we
Die
Tv, Blu ray, Galaxy S
Whatever
We talk over
Facebook
No connection
America the great, is not so great,
Or rather great with imperfections
That impede its equal opportunity gate.
Even if pointed in the right direction
They say they want to make America great again
But to them, I ask, when was it great?
Was it great in the 1950’s when little black girls and little black boys
America the Great,
At least in theory.
America the Great,
Why are we so dreary?
America the Great,
Unemployment, welfare.
America the Great,
No politician could truly care.
Hate.
Intense or passionate feelings of dislike.
Feelings that rip apart friends, families, nations alike.
Today, it is a feeling of honor among this nation.
Blue sea, blue skyEagles, flying highA nation so greatI could not wait For its influence is so greatYou may askWhy I have no hateI will stand proud and sayBecause I live in the USA
Sometimes we think that,
Others are spoiled, and we are victims.
It is proposed,
“This country is dying, failing, a broken system,”
“Was it ever great?” they echo,
Each election hastens shock and recoil,
"Make America Great Again"
The words spoken by our infamous leader
This is His America
With bombs and threats,
Insults and cat calls
Racism, sexism, ageism
Fascism and imperialism
We've grown up
being told that we can become anything.
But the white lies turn into
the darkness that consumes you.
Because once your hopes get high enough,
they come crashing down and
I’m proud to be an American,
For surely we are blessed!
The Hand of God reaches lovingly out to caress
Our saints, our patriots, our sons we’ve laid to rest.
I’m proud to be an American—
I was on this stage not that long ago
with less people
Yet suddenly their are thousands of more people
It feels like I´ve been here for 80 years
I am such a mess
Oh, say, can you see
What you believe, you may achieve
By the dawn's early light
Every morning, an opportunity
What so proudly we hailed
Together, a prideful nation
At the twilights last gleaming?
Today in the world,
People are obsessed with diamonds and gold.
Children forced to sit still,
Forced to bend to their parents will.
America the great
but is it really?
Nowadays it seems all I hear is hate
The new talk is about wanting to escape
run away to a different country
To be strong,
To be powerful.
To be young,
And to be mighty.
Land of the free,
Home of the brave.
America is beautiful,
America the beautiful.
Where is the beauty?
On the faces of families
Reaching out their hands praying
That America will grasp them
And let them experience freedom for
The first time.
What do we fear the creepy crawlies under our bedor is it the wondrus voice inside our headkilling my thoughts until braindead
I will never understand something
How can you smile all day long and cry yourself to sleep
Pictures never change but people in them do
How your bestfriend can become someone to hate
Raising sons full of ire,
Restraint is no longer their friend.
With news, IT builds a fire.
In only destruction it will end.
You did this, you did that,
Three hundred years of accusation.
we are born alone
we live alone
we are nothing
we are just a gang
a gang of lonely hearts are we
we may be happy now
we show no care
for those who care
As easy as counting one, two, three
I tend to learn with a breeze
A fast learner who’s quite free
From the struggle of trying to see
Sometimes I feel like wasting my time
Being here doing nothing, letting life go by
But through it all I begin to remember
The wonderful blessing it is to be alive.
Life is awesome,
Surrounded by those who love, encourage me each and everyday.
Things outside my front door is the world’s palette for inspiration.
I get inspired by life.
If I win a scholarship
What will I do?
Will I go to college and fail
Or will my hopes and dreams come true?
If I win a scholarship
Will I find success?
Or will everything I desire lay to rest
My sound?
Is a silent night, I have no music
no beats, or rhythem.
My sound?
Crickets on a summer day.
When I was born they sang.
My sound?
Is a soft noise
They call me Manny
Im a tall, dark man striving for greatness
I love to run and compete competitively in a sport called cross country.
I train hard and learn more things from it each and everyday.
I was one in the dark, you know?
Following a pace
Destruction was its face
Tall and Slim
Dark and Grim
Too much to care.
The light
Was too fair
My itchy ears
With a swift brush of the breeze, you are beautiful.
Soaking in your everlasting scent, I can see you.
The ability to taste your bountiful lips is euforic, in the sense of purity and love.
Broken roads engulfed with rubble
A heart apiece, blind eyes focusing
Who can stand to face the trouble
The hearts that burn, spurned
Eager to face another day, wanting
The rocks cry your name
The ground shakes
The skies in flames
I'm on my knees
I see you through the fire
Arms up, just longing
And what am I? Just a liar
But you reach down for me
I woke up and smiled
I’m having a good day
My water was off
I’m having a good day
My car didn’t start
I don't really know exactly what my verse will be,
But all I know is that I am here, alive
Right now
But somehow
I do know that I am meant to be, do,
Something great.
And for now
Sometimes it is difficult to find,
myself when behind closed eyes,
all that resides,
is darkness,
seemingly vast.
It is tricky knowing,
which way to cast,
my trust,
Believe in you
Believe in me
Believe in us
Believe in we
Believe in the bond between us and God
Believe in our love to last forever
Believe in me being here for you and you here for me
