What God Has For Me, It Is For Me
Beautiful voice! Be moved! Watch out for your blessing--God is good!
Exposing the Corrupt Music Industry
I came across this interesting believer online. His name is Lennon Honor. This father, director, musician, radio talk show host, and more has created some very popular documentaries exposing some of the dark symbolism in the music industry. Check out his videos on YouTube or his website.

God Needed a Pianist
God needed a pianist
someone to play him a song
like he did for me once
while I thought "so how long?"
God needed a pianist
whose heart was still tore
from yesterdays aches
whose body was still sore.
God needed a pianist
whose money problems ran deep
with little time left
and a booked up week.
God needed a pianist
who loved him so,
but sometimes forgot him
for the show.
God needed a pianist
whose fingers played quickly
who kept with the rhythm
a soul that moved swiftly.
God needed a pianist
someone who touched us all
who I remember well
in our last phone call.
Dedicated to my high school classmate Derrick Finch R.I.P. 2/17/2009
DERRICK IS ON THE PIANO, "Very good, the music takes you away! Go ahead treat yourself to a vacation, a shopping spree or better yet just sit back and relax!" -- N.M.

What Do I See?
What do I see all around me?
A world of acceptance.
A world of no abstinence.
We are told it's okay,
we are told what to say.
How to act
with little if any tact.
If you need some help
to get out of your mess
for the right price
some will confess.
Hold your hands open and ask for a dollar.
Keep your mouth closed you better not holla!
Takin' you for what you got
a problem now that they have sought
for fame, fortune, and some shame
their music and wardrobe are so lame.
No role model, no scholar
poppin' a dingy, stained collar
criticizing about what you can't see
fakin' friendship with someone like me.
Kind people are no secret, no lie
take advantage of them and make them cry.
Always lookin' for the next best thing
makin' idols of people who can't sing.
What are we livin' for?
To spend more money at a store!
Who are we fightin' for?
a friend or a foe.
Whose really behind all the show?
Give me a moment to catch my breath
before evil puts me to death.
I want to live right,
but sometimes it's not in me.
When I do right,
they don't help me.
Negative words beginning to stack,
wonder why I won't call back.
Not interested in a lack of common sense
seems to keep my heart rate tense.
Would love to spend more time in joy.
Would love to sit down with my boy,
play cars and trucks for hours and hours,
but words come to me like rain showers.
Need to always vent and confess,
it relieves the pain and stress.
I hope for more love and better days
God bless me with your golden rays!
