WHAT IS A KING
A King
Is the ruler of man
A King
Is admired protector
A King
Is wise in his decisions
A King
Sits on a thrown placed there by God
A King
Inspires
A King
Uplifts
What is a King?
It is not children
Arguing over a legacy
It is not greed
A down payment on history
It is not a family name
A generation brings it to shame
It is not selling tickets
To a path paved by dog bite...

SAVE A PRAYER FOR THE BEAUTIFUL ONE
My muse found me today
She walked out from the April showers
Through the rainbow haze
She heard the prayer of this lonely one
She came back for a touch of happiness and love
She brought me many more words to use
She said you know what to do
Save your prayer-filled words for Christopher
Bring him peace when he wakes from his sleep
He had so much to say
But he sang it anyway
With ...

IMAGES OF INDIA
In this cycle of life, I look to see a land
Where peace, love, and purity was created by God's hands
The smell of tamarind, incense and many other things fill the air
I don't care just happy to be here
The bull goes where ever, the dog sleeps in the middle of the street.
A family of five balance on a motorcycle defying gravity
The blind *guru listens to the clink of a coin.
*Aap ke lie ...

MS LEE
A runaway from the southeast
Fought through the storms of family
Chasing after love was all she could see
Growing up under government hand
Every time creating unconditional love
Think she found the right man
I was a friend and, in my mind, a lover.
But a gallon of milk was all she needed from me.
What I wanted to be could I never be
Don’t hide behind the d...

LAKSHMI
She got a hand for every one of her virtues
Showing goals a path for the soul
There is nothing she can do
Lakshmi
A goddess with a wealth of spiritual beauty
The moon will dance for her
Golden completion the lotus blooms for her
Not obsessed with what she gives or what she gets
Everyone loves her children are named after her
Lakshmi
She gives good luck with ever touch
Wisdom and p...

PAPER LOVE
She was 19 and alone
No place to call her own
Two packed bags was all she called home
Her innocence taken from her long ago
All she is left with is a head full of dreams
She became an adult before she became a teen
Now she is chasing after Paper Love
For thirty minutes maybe more
Just knock on the door
She got her own room
She controls the mood
She w...

MARY SOUL
Mary came from the south part of town
She had a secret about many of the guys around
Never had a true friend every one tries to tear her down
Walking downtown is all she knows
Given paper love, she has the control
What she wanted was love that was good for the soul
Mary Soul
You have a friend
He doesn't care where you walk or stroll
He loves you for your soul
Mary had dreams
But did...

DIED
Died
But still alive
Hear the jive
Still making every one high
Died
Still have pride
Just found a new life
Still got that style
Died
Another try
To get what you like
Slave to the mic
All you’re going to do is write
Still got your fight
Got more new power
On your side
Died
All funk to one side
Just your style
No name for you

MISTER MAC
Mr. Mac
Had slant in his smile
He walked with style
Find a penny and he'd pick it up
Take a vision to reality is what he loved
Mr. Mac
With the passion of an eagle
The focus of a turtle
God shows him past all the hurdles
It made troubles seem so little
Mr. Mac
Took a boy from the street
Shown him what he could be
Changing him into a man
Shown hi...

UNCOVER
Get back to who you are
When you could barely reach the keys
But when you did the music was so sweet
Uncover who you really are
You're more than just a star
You are the sun and the universe move for you
You got to be a Princess before you become a Queen
So be that Princess you're meant to be
And just sing for everybody
Uncover who you really are
Show that true beauty that no one se...

21 DAYS
It has been too many days since I heard from you girl
Too many days since the scent of you filled the room
Photos of you and me on the shelf they just show the passing of time
Still dreaming of you and what life would be like
You're always on my mind
It has been 21 days since I saw you girl
21 days since we made regrets
21 days and I still have not forgotten you yet
In this lonely ro...
