Erase the pain shackling me in tears,

Change my heart to judge not,
Enable me to love all my neig ...

Everyone grieves differently. Men and women do not grieve the same. Women will talk more readily and easily to anybody about their hurts. They reach out and are emotional, but men will process feelings of grief more ...

Promises to my ancestors,
By mighty white trespassers,
Luring souls aboard the ships,
Succumbing flesh to leather whips,
Misbelieving as their blood trickles,
Prosperity lies in worthless, shining nickels.

CHADS
It happened,
The best of my political fears.
The election was robbed,
moved me to tears.
I was so angry, no, I was mad,
It wasn’t fate, or modern fads,
but a vanilla beast named chad.

And hope our vo ...
