“I apologize”

{This poem is in our book ArtUReady?}
Set the Guy Free
He wants to please you but doesn’t know how
He missed training from a Godly father, allow him to learn
He is afraid to be a father, his earthly father disappointed him
He doesn’t want to appear weak to you, encourage him
Try to hear what he is saying to you (hear his heart)
He is trying to communicate
He would rather run than seem incapable
He would lie than ask you for help
He would rather falsely pacify his problems than reveal them to you
He would rather pretend nothing is wrong before he confesses his sin to you
Be his friend and he will trust you
Prove him, validate him, watching for blindness, change and production
Human and flawed, but set him free
Free him from shame and the unknown; allow his heart to believe
If he belongs to you, keep him safe, protected and in peace!

It’s Time
Hear the clarion voice crying out, the pain of the child damaged, destructed and destroyed. It’s time to break the silence of the victims and sound the trumpet of charge to save our children. We are on the move marching and redeeming the dreamers and stopping the villains from another sexual conquest.
Innocence, virginity, safety and protection is not for sale. Corporations your brand, reputation and profits are stripes on the backs of our girls, when you harbor these perpetrators. Arrest your greed and ease your conscience; turn them in. They are not “Baby Dolls” to be exploited, maimed and damaged for sexual pleasure.
Molester, now is the time to “repent and turn from your wicked ways.”
Stop thinking about yourself and your twisted fetish. Please have a thought and compassion for your victim, get help and reform.
Otherwise, danger: the next future in jeopardy is yours.

A Golden Gate
Where your heart belongs
City lights, fog, music and charm hang in air
Tech, hills and fashion
Foodies, Friends and Trolleys
Entertainment is your companion and art your dress
Seafood, the wharf and a bridge to the world
Destination, home, recreation and career
Personality, unique and attracting
“The city by the Bay”

A Divided Heart
A divided heart is a puzzle unsolved. Broken in spirit and compassion. “Guard your heart,” and speak with unity in thought, the pulse of the expression of your affection. Claim and address the purity of the center of your life source. Give splendidly, with honesty, in priority and true love. The reward is extraordinary!
