2. #1 My love is like an Ocean it goes down so Deep my love is like a Rose whose beauty you Want to keep my love is Like a river they will Never end my love is like A dove with a beautiful Message to send my love Is like a song that Goes on and on for ever Even though you use it My love is still unconditional

3. #2(Continued on next slide) The silent man, screaming loud until his voice but ever silent Those around him laugh and play, content in their merry lives They say problems of their own are plentiful but to him they are pitiful The pros outweigh the cons in so many ways he laughs at them, mockingly and uproariously like he’s watching a Shakespearean comedy For though they are problematic his is far worse for that which he loves and cherishes the Most is the bane of his feeble existence And feeble yes it is, like gossamer string in the midst of a typhoon The touch he wants above all else is acid to his soul, the sights that he wishes to see, an Honest loving smile, a loved one’s visage after many a hardship, is nothing more than salt In the open wound he calls his heart, his soul A true masochist of the highest order he is, ever searching for what cannot be found, Loving what slays him time and again for he is the great Hydra but what he fights is Herculean in its strength He is the defunct of his own race of the living dead men, and Abomination not fit even for The blackest pits of Tartarus

4. #2 Continued For he is the creation of man wholly and truly and through they reject and despise he is the Prodigal son returned And just like those that created him he learned to hate and despise as the others around Him, excelling at it to where he is more like man than man himself but because of this he Is a monster, The Unforgiven, The Forlorn, Forever Alone And they are him But unlike them he accepts himself more so than the next man or the Next man. He longs for love but knows that cannot be done for man cannot love its true essence of Man for they do not accept it They hide and lie but he knows the truth, the truth of their indiscretions and of their Righteousness and woe is he for he feels the pain, so much pain of the undying death that He searches as well for the true death, walking the razor’s edge wishing to slip and pass Away, his bones nutrients for lesser yet greater beings than himself and his mind, the Melodious cacophony, the chaotic harmony, the anarchic symphony that has plagued him Since his concievement shall know the sweet sound of silence, not the deafening silence He hears inside the minds of those around him but the sweet silence of a soft night when Everything has been said and everything done and all that’s left is the embrace of The Reaper, the first and only true embrace that he shall ever know….

5. #3 More than 10 Reasons Beautiful as a rose Hot summer’s day Rich on love Top billion air paid Sweet as a peach Top tree chosen Sweeter than honey Not worth losing Apple of my eye Need glasses to see Stung by love Straight bumble bee Wonder of love Cupid’s arrow Blinded by you Stevie Wonder Driven by your love for me Too fast too furious We in the lead Never rear mirror us Go to the end of the world for you Look over the edge Over the moon or Under my bed I will love You As far as the Eye can see

6. #4 The World Talks All your lies you tell They’re unnecessary because I don’t care Your lies is like Snow when it falls, You’re covered in it Always having something to say But you can’t say it to My face You’re so judgmental I don’t care Write it down with paper and a pencil Making fun of the way I walk I don’t call because I know The World Talks If my mother taught me one thing It’s to never change And to always be me Because no matter what you do No how much you try The World will Talk

7. #5 What Love Is Love is the door Trust is the key I’m glad you’re in this with me Our relationship are the shoes And my love for you Is the glue That feeling of emptiness When you’re gone I hate that feeling of being alone Your shirt is your love You wear your heart on your sleeves I’m glad you share them with me Love is what love does A pair As two white doves Glad I have the Knowledge to know What love is

8. #6 Tears Being Shed Lives taken from loved ones Nothing much to do but Cry Tears being shed For the lives we wish were still by our side They risked their lives for red, white, and pride Celebrating the people who have served Describing you in one word Veteran Tears being shed When we get that one knock At the door Knowing that you risked your life for me All I can do is celebrate our Victory Tears being shed When you came home with less than you had But not one day you’re sad I can’t help but cry When I see your smile Because I know what you’ve done Tears Being Shed Of red, white, and Pride

9. #7 The Fear of Being Loved The fear of having my heart broken Multiple words left unspoken The fear of being loved Our relationship ends Then we’re just friends That isn’t enough I let you in but you shut me out Fearing you don’t believe the words that Come out my mouth The fear of being loved by you Makes my heart skip a beat Makes me be lifted off my feet Telling me it’s ok when it’s not Remembering all the times we’ve fought I love you not a little but a lot Moving on and not looking back It isn’t that way not looking back Some of our best love is in the past I have The fear of being loved and not Being loved by you

10. #8 In the Life of a Woman Twenty minutes of creation Nine months of labor In the life of a woman Nurturing the world like she’s ours Taking care of men Every day and every hour Shaping the Earth with our intelligence Washing it clean As if our delicates Making the world a better place For every woman Of every color and every race Given the chance To prove the world Isn’t run by man The world is a Beautiful place In the eyes of a woman The gift of giving life On this earth as a wife In the life of a woman

11. #9 Our First Our first time holding hands Our first kiss Our first everything I would hate to miss The first time I heard you sleep The first time I made you smile They all mean So much to me Our first Christmas I will never forget Waking up to you every morning Is my one true Christmas wish Our first argument To our first make up From our first I love you To our very first break up No matter what I loved it all It’s worth all my heart And I will give it to you, all Our first everything I cherish everyday You are all I need On this 25th Christmas Day

NAWW I AINT BEGGING YOU, I’M JUST TRYING TO TELL YOU TO DO SOME THAT’S GOING TO BENEFIT YOU AND SUCCEED, DO SOME THAT’S SUCCESSFUL AND THAT’S GOING BE HELPFUL, INSTEAD OF CRITICISING ME YOU DEVIL! THIS IS MY NEW IMAGE, MY NEW IMAGE ISN’T TO FOLLOW BUT TO TAKE A CHANCE TO LEAD, TO DRESS RIGHT AND PULL UP MY PANTS FROM MY KNEES, NOT TO HOLD MY BREATH BUT TO RELAX AND BREATHE, INSTEAD OF PRACTICING WAR, I’M GOING TO PRACTICE PEACE, TO SEEK GOD AND PUT NO ONE ABOVE HIM, AND STOP TALKING BOUT WHAT HE HAVEN’T DONE BUT TO LOVE HIM THIS IS MY NEW IMAGE.

13. #11 Chaotic Cacophony in a coffin of the mind Bringing blasting silence, suffering agony of asinine assholes In a strait jacket of morals and ethics, I need the Key of insanity to break these bonds to which others Willfully cling to. This hierarchy of hypocrisy, hating Hell and the heathens which they hang, and hang They have. Over 2,000 years of holy slaughters For in praise of a thought, of an idea so strong That it can move nations. When the behemoth sways 10 mice are Crushed, When Leviathan wakes the world ends in Anarchy, seas swallowed whole in one breath, the Breadth of the beast’s breast so wide it eclipses the sun. The sun so hot it sears the seers’ eyes. It’s Sustenance is the lost souls of those its power Has claimed. The power of Poseidon cannot defeat the Princess that has become a witch which turns The women into whores, whores whining for wine Which drowns the woes of those so-called Women turned into whores for man. Man who has mangled this magnificent manger Where they were born. Man who masturbated in its own manure And calls it a masterpiece of man’s making.

14. #12 Shattered Mind In this mind this calamity Upheaves, this mental unrest. The mind frothing at the seams, worked Into a maniacal frenzy like packs of rabid Wolves howling for inaction, ripping and tearing at The chains of abstinence and piety The dove of reason, its wings weakening from The ever increasing weight of the emotion called Love falling from the sky like so much blood, Breaking the bonds of logic we call bones, Plummeting the dove into the madhouse Of the mind, getting trampled and torn To ribbons by the hounds of war and rage Their bodies whirling into a tempest that Is unceasing and unmerciful, Rhyme And reason obliterated with extreme prejudice The remains left to be devoured by that Unceasing, amorphous being called the Calamity. All before it lie ruin and behind it naught but Carnage, bloody fucking carnage! Sanity is lost, Hope lies in a pool of blood And excrement, a victim like all The rest, its bones being devoured by the ravenous Predators of the sky The vessel finally reveals the hurricane of Magnificently epic proportions hidden in its mind. The body, broken and battered, destroyed by the very forces that created it Anarchy hath prevailed above all All that is left is the cold embrace Of the Reaper The only peace this mind can know From here on.
