The Truth Shall Set You Free? ? ?

The truth shall set you free?
Well I guess it did for me,
I am free of a happy family,
My father in prison for two, maybe three,
Good behavior? I guess we'll see.

The truth shall set you free?
Of what? Everything you are to me?
All that your child desires to be?
The outter shell that we all see,
With the truth shall cease to be.

The truth shall set you free?
Free of wonder and imagery,
What about what I want to see?
Why would you even say that to me?
Why can't the truth be what I want it to be?

The truth shall set you free?
In no way is that true to me,
For I will always be free,
Anyway I want to be,
And that is the only thing that's true to me.

Extraordinary Rendition - The truth shall set you free.

Imagine outsourcing interrogation to extraordinary places
Interrogation turns to torture even cold blooded murder:

Beyond the eyes of the civilized of those who may question even scrutinized
The logic of the truth gained to make you free:

Outsourced to Countries and or regions
Who seemingly have their own forms of political
Autonomous Freedoms:
Where laws are made by militia men or
Dictatorial Puppet Regimes:
Or to locations that simply approve of such schemes
Using interrogation or torture as a means to an end.

The Truth That Sets You Free!

the worth of truth lies not
in whether Buddha said it,
Jesus said it, or even one of
the great thinkers or poets
said it...
the worth of truth lies in
whether you've experienced it,
felt it, lived it, whether it
is exuded through the pores of
your very being...
this is the truth that sets
you free... the truth that changes,
breathes, and lives!

Truth That Sets You Free

Words expressed to you and me, that the truth will set you free,
Not simply truth of any kind, but, Truth which leaves sin behind,
The Truth spoken of is Him; The One Who saves many from sin,
The Truth available to all of us, is the Lord Himself, Christ Jesus.

Friend in the Bible you shall find, God's Truth of an Eternal kind,
Truth that is beyond the world, Truth which Jesus Christ unfurled,
A Truth that's meant for everyone, coming from God's Only Son,
His Truth, which sets men free, from the present through eternity.

Common truths known on earth, for man, are of no eternal worth,
All common truths known to man, access not God's eternal plan,
They are better than lies for us, but, have not His Righteousness,
Common truth won't get us to, Eternity, prepared for me and you.

The only Saving truth, in this life, is Truth, in the person of Christ,
God's saving Truth all men need, His Gospel Truth all must heed;
Common truth will not set you free, or give you new life eternally,
For man's word shall fade away, but, God's Truth is here to stay.

The Saving Truth, you have heard, is there for all in God's Word,
The Way, the Truth and the Life, is the Living Word, Jesus Christ,
Whose Word comes from eternity, Truth, that saves you and me,
Reading His Word reveals proof, He's the author of Eternal Truth.

The truth won't set you free

We all try to Sugar coat the truth but you and I know there can't be no juice in a pimple
people will say'The truth will set you free'
see the truth to be a dude and it stares you in the eye, watching you throw heavy loads of lie to its face without a form of grace
Like a man in pain, it's gonna fly into rage,
irritated at this height of disgrace, it could spit one into a cage, letting it rain till water sinks into the liar's brain
'The truth will set you free' yet people say again
The letters still remain unchanged and now I am starting to feel people just use this quote in vain
Not the truth and not the constitution is gonna set us free
look at judges....don't you think they slam the hammer of justice too often
If d truth would set us free then the word jail would have never came
we all can choose to tell the truth but then what will the cops have to investigate
cos whether you confess or you are being confessed, telling the truth, or choosing to lie will partially make your social life die.

Why don't you know the answer

When a problem comes up,
You blame someone else,
Except yourself.

When something hard needs to be done,
You get someone else,
To do it for you.

When it comes to quizzes and tests,
All you do is,
Guess.

When you get asked a question,
You always say,
I don't know the answer.

Why do you blame someone else,
Or get someone to someone to do something for you,
Or guess.

Why don't you know the answer?
Why?

You Don't Know The 'None' Of It

You don't know the 'none' of it.
Guess work does not make it exist.
To say you understand,
When blisters appear on my hands?
You don't know the 'none' of it.
Not with these feelings felt I command.

You don't know the 'none' of it.
You can hear and choose to listen.
But these wounds I bear.
And from them you are distant.

I appreciate the thoughts you share.
And your caring shown I am aware.
But you don't know the 'none' of it.
That's why I insist this chat we chit,
Leave us to land elsewhere defined and planned.
I rather not discuss,
A subject that makes me cuss.

You know the agony

How come you know the agony?
How does the torture affect many?
Undergo the suffering and you may have feeling
The spirit and resolve keeps you live and not killing

The toothache may make you restless
The painful night may be reflected on face
Peace of mind is affected largely to get rid off
You may be prevented from offering a forced laugh

It is better to be lost in crowd
Let your voice be heard very loud
It may have enough of strength and weight
You are in time on scene and never late

Some of pains are really unbearable
They may send you down and crumble
You are down with so much helplessness
It is known but difficult to come out of duress

It is said and believed that one must under go the same
You may exactly be in position and state where from it came
It may be troubling to all but never actually took place
The worry lines are reflected and clearly seen on the face

No one likes slight pain or discomfort
No one may voluntarily go for or opt
It comes in regular course and dealt with
Person is bending with cry and closing the teeth

It happened to me

It happened to me
that a car salesman,
or a policy vendor,
or even family or friends
just tell a part of the truth
about something.

At times I wonder to where
has people’s integrity gone,
when people talk
as it looks the most prosperous
for them and cut on the truth.

Still the truth
sets you free
and I want to gain
much more freedom.

[Reference: “Then Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in Him, “If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.” John 8: 31-32.]

Only The Loot Can Make You Happy

Uh rockland in my life
Uh huh track masters youre all I need in my life make money
Uh duece duece youre all I need in my life

Yall niggas talkin all that s about keepin it real
But when it comes to this game imma play the field
Rockland had loot before we signed the deal
Haters get in the way and catch the sky like seal
We used to use the streets for the football field
In church free lunch was our only meal
But now we push whips with lorenzo wheels
Living it up in beverly hills
You know 9 to 5 was only temporary
Now the ladies wanna find tone in a hurry
Got em hittin notes that mariah couldnt carry
All you player haters going down like mary
Cop the rolls royce a player with a choice
Ladies stay moist from the sound of my voice
The lady killers pass the keys to our villas
Rockland track masters top billers
Only the loot can make me happy nuttin but the loot baby
Happy show me the loot baby
Happy show me the loot
Only the loot can make me happy nuttin but the loot baby
Happy show me the loot baby

The Sea

The Sea, the Sea, will set you free,
Thur beauty, wind and fantasy,
For in it's great immensity,
It sings of Love and Liberty,
Of Life in waters hidden fast
Of pirate ships from our dark past,
Of travels and discovery,
Only the Sea can make you free
In its unconquered Mystery

As I Enjoy the Joy of Knowing You

AS I ENJOY THE JOY OF KNOWING YOU
Nestor endured two hundred years despair
Awaiting joy, anticipating you.
Tristan Isolde took within his care
As compensation for not knowing you.
Sweet Capulet with Montagu did share,
Hero Lysander loved, - both ill did fare,
As neither knew the joy of knowing you.
Nature rests its case, perfection fair,
As now I know the joy of knowing you.
To be! - a miracle beyond compare,
As I enjoy the the joy of knowing you.
Soul sends to soul, serenity to share
Here on this earth as shed is every care,
All through true joy of knowing you for YOU!

I shall hold you

I shall hold you back

I shall hold you back
As so much is at stake
Life is not simple cake
Whenever you like and take

Life is real
Come near and feel
It will make you fully secured
That is destiny and our future

You are made to feel
Love is divine and felt at will
"How and why" has no scope for doubt
It is all in love and we must talk about

The sky is vast and so is the world
You need to come and set in fold
You are safe with peace in wide arms
Without a single thought of any harm

Never think of running away
You will find no excuses for finding new way
You may try to run away but face high walls
You will look back to hear my sweet calls

"Keya*, Keya* to run away is cowardice
Retreat from commitment and honest promise
Where will you land in this unknown forest?
Will you be there for want of no interest?

I am here and permanently near
Come to me without any fear
I shall hold you till last or forever
Think not of running away ever

You have place to rest on my shoulder
They are well built and little wider
They can take care of your every comfort
Just anchor your ship at lovely port

Love is called love and almost pure
That makes a person very much sure
I, for one, can hardly afford
Your absence so I pray for you to Lord

*Keya is name

I Wish You Were There

I know a place where you can go.
When youre flyin high or layin low.
And Ive got the time.
Ive got plenty to spare.
Ive got the time, and Ive got the place,
I just wish you were there.
Ive the will to have you around.
Whether youre up, whether youre down.
And I know the way
To make you shine.
Ive got the will, and Ive got the way,
I just wish you were mine.

Lost or won

Saddest songs
To prove our acts wrong
Life is not pleasure
No one is pretty sure

Come to me
I shall make you free
From all worries
That whole world carries

Do not feel much about sorrow
Try to overcome and not allow
Keep them away or very low
Reap the harvest as you sow

See it your self and experience
The world is different and at variance
All worry about next world
Turn away from present and act very cold

No love, no feeling for fellow brethrens
Detachment unreal with other concerns
Life may take you to ugly turn
You may nothing to offer or return

Love being as ordinary individual
Treat the life as precious and not casual
It is holy mission to be carried on
Leave it to Him to decide what was lost or won

No More Rain

It started with random ramblings
So alone i would talk to the wall
My body giving in to wear and tear
And from my eyes the tears would fall

Open and closed i am forever
A castaway thrown into a garbage can
No longer a full functioning humanoid
But one who finds it difficult to even stand

They say disabled covers many areas
And you know i never did understand
Until the reality and it's painful knowledge
Hit me in the face like a frying pan

It seems that God is wanting me sooner?
Sooner than later it seems
And well, i'm not afraid of the hereafter
But I am going to miss all my dreams

You know the ones that make you smile?
At the sheer joy of being alive
To walk the earth of God's rebirth
For all the good things in life we strive

I will not miss the handicap
Nor will i miss the chronic pain
It's made me a wee bit tougher
But most of all, I will miss the rain

This War

You've got the mouth of a she wolf
Inside the mask of an innocent lamb
You say your heart is all compassion
But there's just a flat line on your cardiogram
Yet you always made a profit baby
If it was a famine or a feast
Yes, I'm the soul of indiscretion,
I was cursed with x-ray vision,
I could see right through all the lies you told,
When you smiled for the television
And you can see the coming battle
You pray the drums will never cease
And you may win this war that's coming
But would you tolerate the peace?
Investing in munitions
And those little cotton flags
Invest in wooden caskets
In guns and body bags, guns and body bags
Your daddy was a businessman
And it always made good sense
You know the war can make you rich my friend
In dollars, pounds and cents
In the temple that was Mammon's
You were ordained the parish priest
Yes you may win this coming battle
But could you tolerate the peace?
Invest in deadly weapons
And those little cotton flags
Invest in wooden caskets
In guns and body bags
You're invested in oppression
Investing in corruption
Invest in every tyranny
And the whole world's destruction
I imagine there's a future
When all the earthly wars are over
You may find yourself just standing there
On the white cliffs of Dover
You may ask, what does it profit a man
To gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his soul?
Is that your body you see on the rocks below
As the tide begins to roll?
And you invested in this prison
From which you never got released
You may have won this war we're fighting
But would you tolerate the peace?
There's

Please smile to me

I would do anything to see you for a while
I can walk a thousand mile
to make you feel better... to make you smile

I would do anything to make you glad
You don't understand how I go mad
If I hear you sound sad

I would do anything for you
to make you pass this mood through
to cheer you up from feeling so blue
If only you tell me what to do
If only you give me any clue

If only I know the key
to make you smile to me
Smile to me..
Please smile to me

Now I Know The Truth

You think yourself so smart,
Then you are dumber than i thought.

You still gonna keep on this lie,
And say that you love me,
I won't believe you no matter how you try.

You promised that i always be yours and you will be mine,
But i cought you in the middle of your crime.
Now i know who you really are,
You were just a dream that was so far.
Now i know the truth,
The truth i always knew.

You pretended to be someone you are not,
Someone: good, decent, someone who really cares,
Someone who knew me alot.

But now i know the truth,
The truth i always knew.

I can't go on in this stupid game any more,
Can't go on and pretend that every thing is OK,
So now i'll close that open door.

I can't go on, after i knew the truth,
The truth i always knew.
