when I tell you I want you I hope it's something that "haunts" you when I tell you I want you I'm trying to enlighten you rather than taunt you when I tell you I want you understand me being who I am I am taking a chance when I tell you I want you it's because with in me you've stirred & awakened romance when I tell you I want you it is to empower and uplift when I tell you I want you it's your spirit I hope to uplift when I tell you I want you I need you to take me at my word & know that it is true when I tell you I want you it's sometimes code for I love you I want you
Why is it such a hard thing to believe
that something so simple could give me reason to snipe & grieve
why the f*** do I have to beg and plea
with those I've allowed in my circle, not to say 'bye' to me
can't we agree upon another term?
why must you insist on spewing that which makes me squirm?
don't tell me goodbye
'bye' in all it's variations is too / QUITE final and NOT what I want to hear
so keep the concept of goodbye from my ears
everything under the sun has it's time and it's season
yet goodbye is never acceptable under any circumstance nor for ANY reason
as there are times it may anger me or give me cause to fight back tears
this is a simple message & request for friends, family, & peers
please don't tell me goodbye
do you not want to see me again at another time
or are you determined to give me reason to erect a 'wall' for ALL to climb
am I so wrong in my view
is it so wrong to have desire to remain in contact with you?
later or see you soon is the message you should be trying to convey
indicating you hope & want to interact with me another time & another day
you shouldn't tell me goodbye
I've said this all before
I'll repeat it here & now once more
'When Good bye has come from my mouth
any feelings I may have had for you have been flushed WAY down south
(so) if bye is what you've heard me say
this was our last moment, second, & day!'
so don't you dare tell me, if you're not ready to hear me say & mean goodbye...
The village has been raided
who was on guard when they attacked & invaded
oddly enough it wasn't an invading force
it seems our own offspring were the source / "trojan horse"
no longer is there group effort to raise the child
now there is utter chaos as children born of children run wild
born of parents unwilling to discipline
allowed to do as they desire, dwelling in sin
my view of this world has become morbidly jaded
as the essence of the high council has long since faded
what happened to sentry's posted at windows on guard
mindful and aware of children in street & yard
now on look out it's the crack head & crack whore
looking to rob & steal to make their next crack score
it wasn't like this in the days of before
today it's out of control & all too impossible to ignore
children's blood stains the concrete
because of a drug war that spilled into the street
now it's like the wild wild west win lose or draw
gone is village order gone is village law
the elderly are no longer regarded with respect
now they're robbed, beaten, and host to other forms of neglect
when did we give up on teaching right from wrong
what happened to the harmony what happened to us all getting along
what happened to the weak being protected rather than exploited by the strong
why have these sentiments faded away like the lyrics of an all too familiar, yet FORGOTTEN song
when did we become prisoners peering through windows barred
what will it take to heal this wound which seems infectected & scarred
I'm ANGERED, saddened, and terribly sore
as my heart & soul ache for the village which is no more
