Love And Rage

7 Comments

Love, Love and rage

Soon be the day

They sang as they swayed in the pews

Sang with love, love and rage

Soon be the day as they joined up to pray

 

Think of the power of song

And the history it brings along

And I can almost see sights

Of some hot southern nights

Through blood rain tears will shine

Every night and by day

 

With Love, Love and rage

Soon be the day

They sang as they swayed in the pews

Sang with love, love and rage

Soon be the day as they joined up to pray

 

I’m hearing some old singer sing

A song that out tale-tellers bring

It has been sung

Through cracked jaws, swollen tongues

In the land of the freed

Where they sang freedom rings

 

With Love, Love and rage

Soon be the day

They sang as they swayed in the pews

Sang with love, love and rage

Soon be the day as they joined up to pray

 

So now that I see where I am

I see race still determines

The bless from the damned

And the greatest of all historical shams

Is believing you cannot do something you can

 

So it’s Love, Love and rage

Soon be the day

They sang as they swayed in the pews

Sang with love, love and rage

Soon be the day as they joined up to pray

 

And it’s Love, Love and rage

Soon be the day

They sang as they swayed in the pews

Sang with love, love and rage

Soon be the day as they joined up to pray

Lost In The Crowd

11 Comments

Gazing into the distance in seclusion

Where thorns are amongst the grains

Standing in the place ought not to be

Lost in the crowd

The path to freedom dimmed by eclipse

Fading In isolation to the unknown

Lost in the mind

Seeking my path to revelation

Eradicate the gloom blinding the truth

To be amongst the living but not the dead

Words Of Life

“You say you love rain, but you use

an umbrella to walk under it. You

say you love the sun, but you seek

shade when it is shining. You say

love wind, but when it comes you

close your window. So that’s why

I’m scared when you say you love

me”

-Bob Marley

So long as we are still alive, issues will always arise and we’ve got to tackle them- Eddaz

Silence Of The Shades

8 Comments

Dark secrets lurking around

Hides the ghosts of the past

Conceals what is to stay hidden

The silence of the shades

Sits motionless and quietly

Revealing the truth in quietness.
