Love's Revolution

Love is a revolution, the strongest weapon that exists
Love causes evolution, where righteousness persists
While you fight me with words of degradation
And try to slay me with acts of segregation
Love will strike a blow that will prevail
And all your battle plans will fail

You’ve often tried to kill love, with your schemes of iniquity
Not knowing that you build love, in the hearts of those born free
Free to brandish their weapons, like souljahs in the trenches
Regardless of your strategy, a true souljah never flinches
He knows that his weapon also doubles as a shield
And is forged by a power higher than any you’ll ever wield

Fearlessly I’ll fight, knowing love will conquer all
Powerless against its might, hatred will surely fall
Throw your stones, slings, and arrows, love will bat them away
And as your army weakens, mine grows stronger each day
Love is a revolution, the strongest weapon that exists
Don’t fight this evolution, it is futile to resist

Blessing in a Plain Brown Wrapper

What I have to offer is unexpected
Giving life to what has been neglected
If needed, making sure your spirit is resurrected
All the while keeping your heart protected

With my grace I’ll honor your crown
As I know our lineage is of great renown
My care and comfort will ever abound
A more faithful confidant cannot be found

Joyfully I’ll prepare vitals with care
Passionately I’ll stoke the intimacies we share
Respectfully I’ll strive to be honest and fair
Faithfully maintaining a loyalty so rare

My gifts are not wrapped with the usual flash
No sparkles, sleek designs or dash
Will you study me intensely or will your judgment be rash?
Could you recognize this treasure or would you mistake it for trash?

Many have passed me by in their haste
I'm not one you would copy and paste
Exterior concerns their only base
Will you also let this blessing go to waste?
