"A Silent Breath"

"A Silent Breath"

Please Lord Don't Let Him Find Me

I Promise Not To Breath Too Loudly

Why Must It Always Be Me

I Really Hate To Say This...

But Why Can't It Be Johnny, Becca, Or Lee?

Please Tell Me What I Did To You Lord

To Receive Such A Brutal Life

Why Does He Mess With Me Dear Lord

When He Was Blessed With Such A Beautiful Wife

Can't He See That I'm Just A Child

Who Dreams Of Running Wild

Through Fields Of Green Glory

But I'll Never Be Able To Tell My Story

I Hear Him Slowly Creeping Up The Steps

So Mother Cannot Hear

His Breath Usually Reeking

With Nothing But Cans Of Cheap Beer

Please Mommy, Please Wake UP!

Come Check On Your Dear Child

My Pillow Soaked With Tears

Why Can't She Ever Hear 

My Door Slowly Opens

My Heart Quickly Stops

His H...

"Single Momma Madness"

My Sista, My Sista

Look A There, Look A There

These Brothers Prancin' All Aroun'

Call They Selves Marchin'

As If Someone Really Care

They Claim To Be Behind Us

They Claim To Be So Strong

Those Suckas Shoulda Been There

When My Baby Was Comin' Long

They Tried To Pretend They Ain't Know Us

When That Belly Bloated Up

They Can March Til' They Turn Blue In The Face

But I Betcha I Won't Jump

I Busted My @SS Everyday

To Feed The Ones They Made

While They Was Out Layin' Up

With Some Otha Hoe Gettin' Paid

I Jus Don't Understand

How They Guilt Jus Come Out Now

They Expect Us To Be So Proud

I Betcha I Don't Bow

They Beat Us Down In The Ground

Slappin' Us When We Come Aroun'

But Now They Wanna Claim The Glory

And They Didn't Even Play A Damn Part In The Story!

"A Soft But Mighty Storm"

Mommy, Mommy Look, My Child Screamed With Awe

I Turned The Way Of Her Finger, But Could Not Make Out What I Saw

It Cannot Be An Army, For An Army Is Not That Strong

It’s Coming Towards Us So Quickly, It Won’t Be Very Long

I Looked Into My Baby’s Eyes, A Tear Was Drifting Down

It Seemed As If She Knew The Likes, Of What Was Comin’ Round

It’s Almost As If A Black Cloud Has Come Upon Our Midst

But Somehow It Seems So Soft And Gentle, As If It Were A Long Lost Kiss

They Wish To Become The Men That Their Fathers Already Are

They Want to Unite With Their Children, And Try To Heal The Scars

They Sing A Sorrowful Melody Of Guilt And Despair

For They Want To Be The Family’s Foundation,  But They Need The Hurt Hearts To Care

For Generation After Generation, They Were Always The Missing Piece

Now They Wish To Dry...
