On a plight around the US of A
so many things are different for me today
Katrina will never forget New Orleans
For she came and she demeaned
Will we ever know what love really means?
One against other
We take from our brother
All lust from a lover
the terror from a dome of plunder
The art of theives
Who feel no remorse
only hidden intents of greed
rebuild it for the black folk
Hell, is that what you beleive?
For love is a stolen smile
From another .... who thought they had no more
For love is a given meal
For someone hungry... asking what am I living for
For love is having everything stripped away
And still a heart to give ......
The lesson learned from this life....
Is that love is from within....
It's not a worldly treasure
nor a superficial thing
It's not a million dollars
nor a four k diamond ring
It is a path
you choose to follow
the paths of queens and kings
Who thru it all.... joy and pain
can still lift their voice and sing.
