An Un-rapping Christmas Song

Writing this crap is way to...easy

Though it is making my mind...dizzy

This old timer is feeling...queasy

Hey buddy, I'ma feeling kinda...crappy

Must be the pills I put in my...coffee

Think it is time to take a..nap

This rap is turning into a...deathtrap

Having beat the living...crap

To lyrics that should be in...rehab

Ya no, ya no they're soundin' so...bad

How could I have been so...naive

On this snowy Christmas...eve .

Chorus

Tis the season bro

To blow and blow

Inhaling that snow

Up your nose

Feeling pretty blah

Ah ha, ah ha

Tis the season hoe

To blow and blow

Inhaling that snow
Up your nose
Ho ho, uh...hell no.

Edwin James


... 

Ah

Christmas Time

Wrapping

Cheerful thoughts

Around

Gifts carefully

Bowed

In warmth

And

Heart-felt

Times

Under

A tree

Glowing

In promise

Offering

Only hope

Filling

The season

With

Loving family

Memories

So

Long ago.

Edwin James

...

The Day Begins

Like any other day

She whispered

Looking for answers

Hidden in shadows

Cast by doubt

Running from pain

Tempered in fear

Walking in a daze

Caring not for self

An agenda lost

Over mind wagers

Betting against dreams

A portal seemingly shut

Walking once again

Alone and naked

Wondering why her life

Seemed no longer

To matter or worth being

A chill ran up her neck

Remembering her father's

Promising words

Always persuasive, caring

Releasing her despair

She closes her eyes

And knows what to do

Remembering her father's

Validating words

You are my guiding light

Stay strong with all your might

Never abandon your heart

Your will knows how to restart

Move forward and only bare

That what comes from prayer.

Edwin James

Her Light

Cast no suspicion

Or rebellious shadows

Defying cravings harkened

By jealousy and hate

Her soul aware, mindful

Willing and forgiving

Never doubting or

Relinquishing her promise

Never letting go

Of her dignity's resolve

Unwavering, releasing

Shoulders frantic weight

Facing inward, unafraid

Trusting her inner-self

Radiating hope, sharing

Her contagious light.
