My brother's Keeper

Doctor King
Yes he had the dream
Malcolm X
Assassinated on the scene

Fighting for the rights
Of me and you
Look at us now
Some did remain true

Keep it real
If you claim the call
All for one
One for all

In this day and time
Divided we stand
Help out your brother
Don't just hold out your hand

Stop Searching

You can't force love
Better to keep a friend
The heart already knows
What lives deep within

Stop searching for what
You will not find
Be true to yourself
Tell no more lies

Better to be alone
Than to live in pretence
For what is ordained
Shall be meant

The story you tell
It ends with you
Write a happy ending
All your dreams will come true

Loving Self

One can never move backward
Happiness comes from within
While waiting for love
Loving self never ends

Rise above past mistakes
Past is gone
Nothing left to debate
Leave well enough alone

Follow your dreams
Feelings come from within
For whatever you feel
Reality sets it in

The journey has been hard
The part that you play
Be the Oscar winning performer
Nothing left for them to say...

Yes We Can

Yes we can
Has come true
Together the things we did do

We set aside
Our selfish ways
Advocating for causes
Over the World a craze

Christian, Catholic, Muslim or Jew
We each have our Religion
For each they are true

Let's put aside our prejudice
Work together for a worthy cause
The middle class had a great fall

Right and Left
Black and White
For through our hearts
Lets us now take flight

There's rich and poor
Where's the in between
Try to pay your bills
You'll see what things mean

The rich are rich
They stay that way
Let's limit poverty
That's not the American way

The Black Woman

The Black Woman had to be strong years
She's raised a family
She's shed many tears
She held her head high
She's been broken and abused
She overcame the masters abuse

She learned to be strong
They took the husband away
She held her head high
She's built this way

She sees her strength
She uses her weakness at its best
She sees rights and wrong
She shows love in distress

She's built to last
She stood the ultimate test
This woman I speak of
She was built to be her best

Endless Possibilities

Infinite Intelligence is hard to describe
Faith reveals it starts in the mind
A closed mind cannot reveal
Universal Laws and what you feel
Created to live a life your best
What you achieve the ultimate test
Use everyday no time to lose
Live your life how you will choose
Religion can narrow your path
Many truths let's do the math
For whatsoever you think shall it be to you
Be optimistic all your dreams come true

Who are you?

Knowing oneself can set you free
You must live for you and I for me
When you seek a truth
You are now awake
Believe in that which
Brings about great faith
When you realize you deserve the best
No more worry you can past the test
Do unto others as unto you
Smile and give kindness
For which each act you will be amazed
Is unveiled the real you
Lengthiness in your days

A lover of life

A lover of life
An essential task
The lessons you learn
No questions asked
Go through your journey
Each and everyday
Building Bonds
In a unique way
Time is precious
None to lose
Use your moments
How you choose
For whatever you think
It is unto you
Creating the world
All around you

Passion

Your passion is easy
Little effort from you
Doing what you love
Will make your dreams come true
Glide through your day
Right words to say
Others see your light
In an effortless way
Use caution with your words
That question that you ask
Simple in relay
It's a fluent task

While Searching

Never search for love
When its already been found
The love you have for self
Mighty, real and sound
Go on what you feel
You follow flow this way
Divine connected with nature
The universe starts to say
Yes to all your desires
You know what's best for you
Imagine in your mind
Manifested all to you

Passed you by

No Woman's a peace of meat
To be passed around
Seeking a husband
Is somewhat profound
If you think your doing
Some type of good deed
Your breaking the heart
Not sewing good seeds
The thing you must do
Is lay things at rest
The test and a token
Let's the past be put to rest

Overcame

I overcame abuse
Although it caused me pain
Remember every word
Your faith is not in vain
Look for each occasion
To share kind words
If walking in your purpose
Nothing goes unheard
Everything you desire
Is already yours
Anxious to inspire
Conscious of reward

With You

You overtook my heart
You live inside my mind
Every place I turn
I feel you deep inside
Time passes yet nothing seems to change
Overtaken by obstacles
Yet with you I still remain
Diligently I work
Each day to prove to you
The moment I looked into your eyes
All my dreams came true......

Forgiveness


Forgiveness is for you and no one else
It produces Euphoria
It gives good health
Forgiveness heals wounds
Its proven and true
It also reveals whats inside you
Be who you are
Be like no one else
Created extraordinarily
Be true to yourself
The sky is not the limit
At least not for you
Universe is infinite
All knowing and true
Speak Positive words
Look fear in the face
If it produces no goodness
Let these thoughts be replaced
Forgiveness is for you and no one else
While Healing Deep wounds
It also produces great wealth
Forgiveness is for you and no one else
Let go of anger

Look out for yourself

When In Love



When In love you can get played
When in love play no games
When in love keep it real
When in love say what you feel
When in love there’s intimacy
When in love please and be pleased
When in love you share your dreams
When in love you’re a team
When in love just be your self
When in love help and be helped
When in love just be you
When in love, love sees you

Freedom

Freedom to choose what I want to do
Freedom to choose if I love you
Freedom to choose right or wrong
Freedom to choose where I belong
Freedom to choose what I want to do
Freedom to sing this song for you
Freedom to choose where I want to stay
Freedom to marry or be happy this way
Freedom to speak
Freedom to fight
Freedom to excel and enjoy my life
Freedom to ponder, gain knowledge & play
Freedom to choose my on way
Freedom to forgive or even to hate
Freedom is free there's no debate
Freedom to love you can't choose for me
That's what Freedom is, The Right To Be Free!

Poetry that brings dreams to life….




                                              Written and Owned by LaTrice Hughes

1.    Divine Influence


Divine Influence has changed My Life
I run from confusion and seek no strife
A Bride To Christ devoted to God
Let the word increase as no facade
Faith in him who has saved my life
Increase in the word
For it gives us life
I searched the world over
For there is no other
The Love of God
Has been my cover
I run no more
It did no good
For all I was seeking
I yet understood
In all your getting
Be sure understanding is number one.


2.    Pride, Purpose and Nature



The story reveals pride, purpose and nature
Be who you are there will always be haters
Not all will like you
Don't always go with what you feel
Let the heart see it through
The truth is always revealed


The significance of a thought is preciously profound
In a split seconds one can create the world all around
Let the seconds count and be well spent
Erroneous ideas can bring forth discontent
Universal laws revealed it goes unheard
Think positive thoughts  and caution with words

Why you walking around with your head down?
Better hold that head up
What's that all about?
Be prideful in your duties
Not what you've been given
It's not all about you
What kind of life are you living?


3.    The World Is Mine


You cant stop me from accomplishing my dreams
Im bold driven and determined
Are things as they seem?
You watch from afar
What are you trying to gain?
I went from being righteous
Now loved by the world
I have obtained great things



4. Talents


You have given me gifts
They all come from you
Glorifying your name
Credit worthy and true
Not that of myself
Spirit given and graced
Within your temple
Not to be disgraced
I walk in the spirit
Not my natural self
I pray each day
Father I need your help
If not for you
walking through each storm
Losing the natural mind
While yet being reborn
The things of you
Foolishness unto man
Appointed by God
As Jesus keeps holding my hand



5. Fighting For My Life


I woke up one morning
It all seemed like a dream
Advocating for others
Walking the unseen
Treating as I want to be treated
Righteous in my deeds
God has a plan for me
To do mighty things

Fighting for my life
The devil took away
Forcing things upon me
I have no desire for today
I am a righteous woman
Perfect in every way
Predestined for greatness
It happens on this day

It gets heavy to walk in Love
When evil comes your way
The burden gets so heavy
I Can make it through today
Respect me for my convictions
It is my life to live
I long to be with my father
I have nothing left to give

I'll chose my own path
That fills my heart with tears
I slip and slide and try to hide
The devil followed me here
My one and only desire
Is to fill the world with love
When home with my father
Will then I find True Love.






6. Walking In Truth



While I walk in truth
Not Without Pain
Wisdom, Knowledge and Understanding
All I Have Gained

Fear of No Man
All His Divine Plan
A Soldier For Christ
We Walk Hand In Hand

Overcome With Joy
When I Remember My Trials
I Did Overcome
I Have Walked Many Miles

Judge Not What You Don't Understand
Not All Have an Even Hand
For I Know True What's Unseen
Everything I Desire Is Real No Longer A Dream


7. Perfection

I've Walked Through Fire
Yet Still I Stand
The Love of Christ
Always My Friend
No One Else Close
He Was Loyal and True
When All Else Failed
He Got Me Through
I Called On Friends
They All Had Left
Nothing To Give
Everyone For Self
When I Lost All Hope
He Was Always There
To Strengthen My Faith
It Was All I Could Bare
Fills My Heart With Tears
Because Still I Stand
I Have Walked With God
Jesus Held My Hand
When All Else Fails
Get On Your Knees
Everyone Else Can Be Gone
God Fulfills All Your Needs


8. Grandmother’s Love


Mary trained me up as a child
Equipping me for life all the while
Feeding me scriptures everyday
Helping me choose the narrow way
I look above and know she is there
Always to give her loving care
To see me become what she always knew
I possessed within Holy Spirit true
She walked in spirit
Not her natural self
Foolishness to man
For she had no help
To understand I don't know if she knew
To loose the natural mind
Jesus Christ all the way through
I see her smile
Fills my heart with joy
She's my very best friend
Will she be forever more


9. Understanding


I walk with God
His divine plan
Not of Myself
All by his hands
Journey's been hard
Couldn't do it by myself
I lost everything
I have nothing left
Although I lost many things
That which I did gain
By God's Grace
I retained my faith
I'm now where he needs
Therefore be content
For the best is yet to come
Yall ain't seen nothing yet
Faith the size of a mustard seed
Can change your entire world
Don't give up on your dreams
The best is yet to come


10. Dreams Come True

Dreams Do Come True
I Experienced it for myself
Although yet to obtain
The worlds definition of wealth
To thine own self, one must be true
No one walks through this life
The pain experienced by you
Overcoming through the fight
Once awakened in light
It suddenly becomes a fight
Live each day
Eyes opened for the flight….
