During my journey to
separation love has constantly immersed in me, my decisions, my mind, and my
life – in a way that has given me a new heart. Of course, when challenges
happen in our relationships, it’s harder to see love in a new light. Sometimes
it’s harder to see this shine because of the pain from love or lack there of.
In this journey I’ve been
given so much insight about what makes love – love. What is it about love that
makes us crazy – good crazy and bad crazy? But you cannot talk about love
without acceptance. Acceptance is defined as approval. Loving someone and being
loved is about acceptance. This acceptance is what makes love that GOOD crazy and that BAD crazy.
Now realizing this was hard
for me to accept. Like many, it’s hard to accept someone doesn’t want you, or
think you are not cable of doing or being something, or even accept you are
greater than what the closet people to you think you are. Accepting this
acceptance is hard to accept.
Our TVs are soaked in reality
TV or what we can call Acceptance TV. I realized this love and acceptance while
watching my favorite show Grey’s Anatomy. I don’t recall which episode but if
you are a fan of the show you know their epiphanies come at the craziest times
to then fix a major health issue.
Well, here is my epiphany poem
on love and acceptance that will guide you to love better, starting with loving
and accepting yourself. And if you feel the need – change how you love yourself
in order to love something or someone else.

[This poem is a selection from the upcoming album The Separation 1 of 2.]
Not receiving love
and acceptance is the trigger that has pulled so many guns on lives that
matter.
Dad’s are not
taught how to be fathers by a man; so they can’t do what they don’t know.
Mom’s try to be the
man – which is something their not – they get lost on how to do both.
So when they get
the man they pray for…that man’s job is already filled as their dual
occupation.
Role playing is
necessary at times and even needed.
But play the
position you tried out for.
Respectfully, start
a new tradition…cause both parents MATTER.
And our children –
our children are just stuck in the middle
to grow in
accurately in a beefy world that cooks them…
and they don’t feel
the burn.
Love and acceptance
is the trigger that has pulled so many guns on lives that matter.
Communities with
titles help and do the best they can
but when your
principals are based off of style and not a life style
it changes like the
features on a new car.
The feature that –
you know – it was added last year but it’s not on this year’s model.
Yeah – don’t you
hate when that happens?
And responsibility
is taken by a few.
But it’s like when
you were kids and somebody did something wrong
but no one wanted
to take the blame for it – cause, you know –
they didn’t want to
get in trouble so they blame it on someone else.
But by association
you got in trouble too even if it wasn’t you.
So if you didn’t
speak up you got whooped too.
Yeah being a kid
was the good old days – but that was back when I was young –
I’m not a kid
anymore.
Love and acceptance
is the trigger that has pulled so many guns on lives that matter.
Age is just a
number cause only a few are playing it right.
Instead of asking
how old you are –
you know, we should
ask what’s your mentality type?
You’d probably see
a better visual answer with the verbal.
Lessons learned
only learned if we study before the
test.
True love and
acceptance is the trigger.
If God spoke
everything into existence
why is the
renaissance of rap hated, segregated, and disrespected?
I guess cause it’s
not all speaking the language of God.
But many leaders
and titled persons don’t either
but we pay love and
respect them all.
Man – the trigger
of love and acceptance.
If I say I’m a rap
God – then I’ll get more hate than needed.
But the same titled
people make judgment
on the same people
they’re leading.
So isn’t that just being the Father of Jesus?
Love and acceptance
is the trigger…
This could ruffle a
thicket of feathers – that’s a flock not together.
Through history
books and hearing from older folks in my culture –
manipulation was
learned early.
Watch it be done
and you can do it too.
It’s like a parent
manipulating their child
by “do what I say or you don’t get those nice
gifts for Christmas.
Do what I say or I’m not keeping the kids you can
forget it.” –
and the child is an
adult.
The child is scared
to give up the benefits
so they do as they
say – like slavery.
It’s tough to speak
up cause when you speak – existence happens.
Yeah you don’t get
the perks anymore
but boundaries have
to happen.
That’s how America
was made -
But manipulation
stayed – and continues.
It’s the trigger of
love and acceptance that’s pulled so many guns on lives that matter.
We all have bullets
– but what’s your trigger??
People think the
social network isn’t self network or self worth…
Monkey see Monkey
do – so why when I love you I’m accused of abuse? –
Heartless Daddy –
this mentality even amazes gravity.
WHAT IS YOUR TRIGGER?
So worried about
those that died – but what about those walking dead inside?
Those that hang in
gangs only want one thing – love and acceptance.
I leave you with
this.
The sand in the
land loves the ocean.
It accepts how it
comes in and governs itself accordingly –
whether high
tide…low tide…or disaster.
It’s always going
to be friction at some point
but the ocean has
answers.
That’s what makes
us love the beach as it is.
With love and
acceptance - that’s how we should live.
