Love Reminder

LOVE REMINDER
BY ERIC DARSIE


Once upon a certain time, we were told to love one another if we want to follow JESUS CHRIST. For me, it was a checkpoint, I would continue in the pain if I truly love my men. Then a promise I had to make with myself. A promise to CHRIST as well, and that’s to love my men like I love GOD.

Dear Love,
Why do you suck?
It seems like when I try towards you,
I always get burned.
The madness always comes thorough,
It always begins each time I get rid of you.
Could you do me a favor,
Please,
And just leave me…
For good?

A hard promise that I need to maintain. Oh LORD, my GOD, I need YOU now. I made a promise to myself, but more importantly to YOU. Why is it hard for me to let go fully and rely on what is true, which is YOU?

Dear Myself,
Why don’t you surrender everything to HIM?
It would be that much easier for you,
Really!
I know things aren’t going your way lately,
But do you think GOD has something to do with it?
I bet HE does!
Then just simply shift control over…
BABY!

“Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth.” Easier said than done, but why? I cannot wrap my mind around it! Why is our human nature so idiotic? And why I have to question every single thing?

Dear Mind,
Why do you question everything?
Why did you let philosophy corrupt your mind?
It would be much easier, you see,
If we all quit questioning everything that comes our way, right?
Then why don’t we do that than?

Once I surrender it all to God above, life would be simpler. Yes, I will go through some hard times, like now, but I need to remind myself that if I truly love my men, I will go through this heart-ache and all these troubles for them. Do so, and love them. Fulfill the promise you made, to yourself, and to GOD.

If I Didn't Care (For You)

If I Didn’t Care

Hey everyone. Here's a poem that I wrote for my poetry class that I have this semester. I really like this poem. This poem was inspired by former professional wrestler "Leaping" Lanny Poffo, or "the Genius," to old-school WWF fans. If people don't remember those names, Lanny Poffo is the brother to "the Macho Man" Randy Savage, former 2-time WWF Champion and 4-time WCW Champion, and rap star (who's album I do have, if anyone wants to borrow it or listen to it).



If I didn’t care
More than I can ever say
If I didn’t care
Would I be here?
If I didn’t love,
Why do I still thrill?
And what makes my thoughts
Go round and around
When my blood
Just stays still?
If I didn’t care
Would it all be the same?
Would my every prayer
Be for your best interest?
And could I be sure
If it’s really love?
Could this all be true,
If I didn’t care for you?
If I didn’t care
Would it all be the same?
Would my every prayer
Be for your best interest?
And could I be sure
If it’s really love?
Could this all be true,
If I didn’t care for you?

Last Resort

Last Resort
By Eric Darsie

You said we’ll go
Only as a Last Resort
What the hell happened?
We should have let ‘em do their job!

Chorus A
It ain’t worth billions
Which can be use towards education
Are you feeling okay, Mr. President?
You said it will be our Last Resort

Politicians today use the war of yesterday
To me, that is sad
Why are we in war?
Now the world hates us!

Chorus B
How much is it now?
Who’ll pay for it?
We’re not dumb
Thanks, what a Last Resort

The rumors of the draft
Memories of Vietnam
What the hell?
Do I want to go?

Chorus A
Chorus B

Chorus C
The Last Resort
Where did it go?
I’m not rich
So I gotta go!

My parents aren’t politicians
They work hard for money
I work for monkey nut hair
I’m screwed, I have to go!

Chorus A
Chorus C
Chorus B
Chorus A

Us against the world
It soon will be
I’m not for it
What a Last Resort

Litter Box

Litter Box
By Eric Darsie

Having to clean the litter box
Really does stink, a lot
Cleaning up cat poop and clumps of pee
I guess I’ll just have to get nasty

Chorus
La-la-la-litter box, why do you do?
Why do you do these things to me?
Why do you make me clean you?
Couldn’t you be a bit like our toilet?

Yes, cats, dogs, and animals alike do need to go
But can’t they go like us,
In our toilets and flush their things down?
It would be a lot cheaper shot to our wallets

Chorus

I know they like my touch and love
They do appreciate when I do clean the litter box
But what a world it would be if, you know,
If our animals were toilet trained

Chorus

Facing Goodbye

Facing Goodbye
By Eric Darsie

How can I deal wit this pain
That I’m struggling with inside?
Could this truly be the end
Of our friendship that was deep and close?

[Chorus]
I can’t handle facing goodbye
I never expected us to be such good friends
But we did become just that
And now, it’s over, and its now goodbye

It’s always painful when it all comes down
The world around you never eases up
Only can turn to God to solve the problems
Why, God, why, are we going through this pain?

My decisions that I’ve made got us here
I was once blind but now I see
The sin I was living in, you helped uncover the veil
That was covering my eyes

Chorus

Now it’s time to say goodbye to everyone and everything
There’s no turning back or back-tracking
Ashamed of what choices I’ve made
Only one road I can travel down now

Chorus

Burn the Bridges Down

--Burn the Bridges Down--



When we talk,
You never have anything new
To talk about.
It also seems like
We always have to call
‘Cause you claim you’re busy.

--Chorus A--
If you keep burning the bridges down,
We’ll be bitter enemies.
If you keep this up,
It all will come crumbling down.
If you keep burning the bridges down,
Saying there’s nothing new today.
If you keep this up,
No one would want to call you.

--Chorus B--
Keep burnin’ the bridges down,
Someday it will hurt you.
Keep burnin’ the bridges down,
It will come crumbling down.

Someday, you’ll see
You’re the one who is making
The mistake of burning it down.
It will hurt when it
Falls down due to you burning it down.

Chorus A
Chorus B

I’ll be there, in the end,
But will you be there, when it all falls down.
I’ll be there, in the end,
It all matters if you’re there.

Chorus B
Chorus A
Chorus B

If you keep on burning,
Burning the bridges down,
It all will crumble down.
If the bridges keep burning,
I’ll see you when it’s over.
If you keep on burning the bridges down,
It all will start crumbling down!

Broken Dreams

--Broken Dreams--


Since the dawn of time,
Everyone’s have had dreams that they’ve chased
For some, they have reached the mountain top
But for others, things haven’t worked out that way.

--Chorus--
Though this night, and throughout this day, though you’re broken dreams
I’ll succeed off my prior mistakes
And watch you fail for being so blind
Blind to all, in which are your broken dreams

Failure isn’t beautiful
I’ve looked failure in the eye
Than I spat at failure’s face, and said
‘Today’s the last day of my broken dreams.’

Chorus

Friends and foes alike will stand in amazement
When I fulfill my destiny
I’ll reach the epical mountain top, but
Will you be there to admire my accomplishments?

Chorus

From dusk to dawn, I dream about it constantly
I walked though my broken dreams
A place I wish not to go back
My broken dreams resembles hell to me

Chorus

Will you die in shame never facing your dreams?
Or will you go down in a blaze of glory, chasing everything you always wanted
Don’t let anybody hold you back
The end is here, judgment day is now, and it’s time to face your broken dreams

Chorus

Face your broken dreams like a gladiator like you are
Slay it down like a dragon your broken dreams are
If it’s hot ashes, broken glass, walk over it
In your last days, would you have any broken dreams?
