The Spaces In Between

M.M.- EIP When you connect you want to always be It could simply be in writing or in bodies. Consistent communication is very key Relationships are sustained on this primarily. It's hard to stay away but the process you must trust When things are meant to be there is no need to rush. Spaces in between build a stronger bond, It brings a renewed meaning, reminds us of our love. They say "absence makes the heart grow fonder" this is very true It gives the right balance of you wanting me, me wanting you. Space is good just concentrate on what you like to do Never invite worry when I'm only growing closer to you. Space is timely, know when to give and take Absence helps to review all that's at stake. When the distance comes, it's merely in physical body My heart and mind are always in close proximity. ...

A Lost People

M.M.- EIP I long for a place I've never been It describes my soul of a hundred years old. My dreams often go to a time I only know, in old movies and books, women of strong looks High cheekbones and hard feet, determined to live and made history. I live in today's world but my heart is seldom present I hold onto my past and look upwards to the Heavens. I can't say I don't get sad when I think of all we went through Many died fighting and we still fight today in a world quickly fading away. We have come far from slavery days but still it exists in so many ways Sometimes I wonder has anything really changed or masks thrown over faces. Faces of classism, faces of hate Faces of racism, faces that segregate. Faces of prejudice, take a minute and think on this. Faces turned fake when people decided plastic hides pain. Do you recognize you? No matter how wide you smile you know you lie Because you have denied your birthright to this life. Changing y...

Let Me Be

M.M.- EIP You are different and so am I I try to understand you, why not give me a try? You think you have me figured out, but ask anyone I'm a stranger Sometimes I like it that way but it wouldn't hurt if you came a little closer. What hurts is when you come close just to help and watch me suffer Only to tell the tale because your heart is bitter. Don't run your mouth, lying lips are an abomination Making up stories because I gave you none. I kept to myself because you placed me on display Always discussing me, then again my place was always center stage. What did I do to you? Your troubles I did not cause I had to learn you don't need to do something to someone for them to not like you at all. Maybe your spirit's just different, calm and graceful They are loud and always angry, traits in themselves they find distasteful. You walk with class and an air of prosperity So they devise wickedness against you, forgetting your father ...
