Trying To Get Right

Now as I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I've seen a lot things in my life that was bad for my health.

 I watched and held my nephew, as he lay flat dead in my arms. It all was sad but my dad, he didn't mean no harm.

 But me you see, I'm just trying to get right, but this world still has many hot heads, not making it right.
 Yep' Yep'

  Now I have went through some changes in my life, watching my back from these so called friends that's  back stabbers. Now in your face these same friends be smiling, but behind your back we got more then a few that's back stabbers.

 Then you wonder why life sometimes fall to the bricks, when judges in the courtrooms playing god for kicks.

 Now how the hell  you get mad when they call you a N out of utter ignorance, the N word stands for ignorance. You see ignorance is only in its depths, when people show there ignorance in many different steps.

  But me, I'm just trying to get right.

 I'm just trying to get right.

You see ignorance is only in its depths, when people show there ignorance in many different steps.
You are a great soul dear friend and we all go through injustices and through ignorance of other people. I think there are so many hurdles in our lives but man has conquered Mt. Everest , climbed to the moon and we continue the journey . Be a fighter in love not hate and you will conquer their darkness . I enjoy all your writes so keep penning and sharing your bread and butter...
