WHERE DO RIVERS GO?

  Right here at the balcony,                 there rings in my head a mys-te-ry.   Can I know the sound of my voice   when I hear it in my head? When I sojourn in the wilderness,      roaming around with no compass.    Can I trust my head when it says turn right or left? When I look at the mirror,      I see a figure appear with vigor.       A stranger with many networks.         Can you introduce yourself?    In my private space,                I try to dissect my mind. How can my mind control my mind.  Am  I tricking myself? It is obvious to see. I am nothing without my head.         Can I liken myself to a headless river  that knows the way? Where do rivers go?                                                                                  Do they ever miss their way?                                                           Do they get confused like when my  head fights with my head? I am my head and my head is me. All I am is my head.

Me  can hear da old lady singing,                                          we sha overcome. But da slave master singing,                                                  you work till you die. Me never know what to think,                                               me know nothing . It's another man's land,                                                            and I'm black.

BECAUSE OF YOU.

Because of you, He would stop the sun. Because of you, He would calm the storm. Because of you, He would divide the sea. Because of you, He would walk on  water. Because of you, He would bitter to sweet. Because of you, He would turn water to wine. Because of you, He would turn darkness to light. Because of you, He would cause the world to turn upside down. Do not doubt it, For it is not the first time. His power do not limit, For once upon a time, He gave His blood because of you. What greater love! If it demands Him to do it again. He would. Because of you.
