Horace Greeley once said, "Fame is a vapor, popularity an accident and riches take wings. Only one thing endures and that is character." With all due respect to Mr. Greeley, I'm going to chop and screw that quote like this...
FAME IS A VAPOR, POPULARITY AN ACCIDENT,
AND RICHES TAKE WINGS,
I DON'T NEED THOSE THINGS,
AS LONG AS I HAVE YOUR ENDURING LOVE
Let me go deeper and deeper baby,
When the rain calls my name
and I respond with yours,
I'll know I'm prepared
to receive my just rewards
for the sacred rain falls only on justice
not just us all,
when Kingdom comes, we'll be on the run,
our laughter echoing through Kingdom's Hall
If I could hold back the stars
and restrain Orion,
could we chill in the Garden of Eden
with Judah's Lion,
the sequence of our seasons
will be marked by celestial satellites,
for at the altar of your love
I'm merely an acolyte
Why do some contemplate frivolous things
while ignoring the laws of the universe,
don't they know an everlasting love like ours
can't be rehearsed
I know I can't shout to the clouds
and make it rain,
but I can make love to you
until our bedframe's structural integrity can't be maintained
Let me chop and screw this,
FAME IS A VAPOR, POPLULARITY AN ACCIDENT
AND RICHES TAKE WINGS,
I DON'T NEED THOSE THINGS,
AS LONG AS I HAVE YOUR ENDURING LOVE
When freedom is defined not by words but deeds,
and the people of the Spirit don't flee
from the Second Coming when Jesus bleeds,
we can reach any river of discontent
and cross on over,
then stop at the outer bank to praise
the One and Only, Most Supreme Jehovah
If the sun becomes so shy
she hides behind the moon,
I would search for your unforgettable fire
when darkness looms,
if you seek my embrace
and cannot be warmed,
then something is wrong with the earth's revolution,
or maybe there's permafrost on the Tropic of Capricorn
Why did the Supreme command
the morning to appear?
because he knew I would use my lips
as the tissue to dry your tears,
so let me cogitate and pray
that you stalk my love like a lioness,
I confessed my sins to the Supreme
now I'm yours at your behest
Let me chop and screw this,
FAME IS A VAPOR, POPULARITY AN ACCIDENT
AND RICHES TAKE WINGS,
I DON'T NEED THOSE THINGS,
AS LONG AS I HAVE YOUR ENDURING LOVE
Time for a segue into seduction,
Baby, breathe this,
when the breeze,
whispers D.Greaves,
take a reprieve
to retrieve,
my heart on my sleeve,
do to me as you please,
maybe speak to me in Portugese,
for you hold the keys to my prestige,
I can hear your heart beating like the talking drum
used by the Congolese,
I'm on my knees,
baby be my Mamma-San,
let's chill, watch a movie and eat Chinese,
slip on that kimono you received,
from the Japanese,
with our actions and deeds,
you and I will reach royalty's status
like the ancient Sundanese
FEEL ME...
When the young cry out
to the Creator and cease their struggle,
you and I will be among those in Haiti
searching amidst the rubble,
for in a world of adult madess
and demonic deceit,
our love bond can only be enhanced
by listening to a saved child's heartbeat
If I ever feel as if I'm nothing
and lay my hand upon my mouth in silence,
I know the Creator would curse the day I was born
for ignoring our love's defiance
because I know that your love
is my miracle,
absolute, no refute, emphatic,
not dramatic but proof empirical
Why can't we look at the sun
when the breeze clears away the mourning clouds?
because with our light within, we don't have to defend,
you see, a love like ours is black and proud
so baby, come with me and let's glide
to the proper elevation,
for the Rapture soon comes after the last chapter
is read from the Book of Revelation
Let me chop and screw this,
FAME IS A VAPOR, POPULARITY IS AN ACCIDENT,
RICHES TAKE WINGS,
I DON'T NEED THOSE THINGS,
AS LONG AS I HAVE YOUR ENDURING LOVE
