Mr American Christian/ Will The Real Church Stand? Spoken Word

I set out on a journey, not knowing where to go,
Tryin to find the answers to the questions that I didn’t know,
They said id find it,  if i keep searchin,
So I looked everywhere, but all I found was more hurtin,
In the darkest places, that’s where it led me to,
the point that I wonder is any of it even true,
Is there ever peace, or is it always pain,
Cuz no matter the path I take, the result says the same,
I been to the bottom of the bottle of jack,
Cuz that’s where they said I would be able to relax,
And I been to the end of the weed when we toked it,
But the smoke cleared ,but look I still felt broken,
I popped pills, chased dollar bills,
But I never reached the top , it was always uphill,
Man I searched for the peace, but the storms still raging,
Its like these black clouds wont ever stop chasing me,

Its like I start putting my feet up on solid ground,
But the ones I thought would be there , theyre not around,
I found out, theyre not who I thought they were,
Like illusions, now im left here half full of anger,
The other half confusion to the bone,
Cuz I thought I was done with this feeling so alone,
Cuz I left the past, heading to the present,
But a present I don’t get, cuz I don’t feel your presence,
Black clouds, any minute now,
Its like they will open up and the rain will pour down,
All I want is a peace inside my soul,
And for this broken life to be made completely whole,
Is it there, and will I ever find it,
Cuz it seems the sun is just beyond the clouds hiding,
All I am is a man, looking for the truth,
But it seems theres so much standing between me and you 


They Never Go Away (rough short clip)

a poem that I wrote dealing with the situation in our home area.. Steubenville, Ohio .. a divided area, my prayer is that we can all come together and just focus on justice for the girl, and teaching our young people right from wrong.. I pray nobody gets offended, I just wrote this after reading many opinions and thoughts about the situation. I just feel we need to stand up together and fight for what's right, no matter what school your from. it could have been any, and we can't brand a whole school as being to blame for the actions of a few. just as we know there are many good citizens here that just want justice and peace. much love.b
