AN: Thanks so much to: IHateBlacks (I can't say that I agree with you about that. Before you reviewed, did you ever stop to think that maybe I was a black person? I could be, you wouldn't know. I'm not, but that's just what I'm saying: it doesn't matter what the color of my skin is. You should treat me just as you would treat anybody else. And just for the record, there are many many violent white people, too. Not all black people have violence in their nature. I don't know if I'm right, but violence is genetic. If your father is violent or has an uncontrollable temper, you have a good chance of inheriting those traits, too. But so is the color of your skin. Just because your father is black does mean that you are probably going to turn out dark too, but it doesn't mean that you're going to turn out violent. Unless, of course, your father is violent lol... I'm getting myself confused) Crystal (dang, catching up on all teh stuff I've written? You realize you wrote like fifteen reviews? Lol thanks you're my superwoman. And publish! Ha. Hahahahha. "For two thousand dollars--that's a deal!-- you can publish your book with distribution and promotions..." Right. Two thou. Wish me good luck) Twilights Pastel Reflections (Did I mention that I love your screenname? I wish I were more creative like that. I just used my lastest book's name... Anyway, yeah my inspiration for those are from DC Talk. Who else? Lol. Taht's a really good point. "Just a Color". Hmm... That might be teh title of my next poem. Thanks! I give you all teh credit... Well the whole guilt trip thing, it wasn't really what I was giong for lol. It was kind of a lament, man we should have more appreciation for Him, you know? I'll check out those poems as soon as I'm done here.) Gi Xian (Thanks! I always feel good when someone takes teh time to review) Katana Blade (Thank you! Um, you're saying thank you to me, when you're the one reviewing? Well, I appreciate the courtesy really, but I should be teh one saying thank you!)

I Believe

I believe in the Lord

Despite what you say

Our minds are all jumbled

By the nonsense these days

On an earth where beauty

Overthrows personality

Where beliefs are a way

To escape reality

Where you're judged

By how you appear

The real day of judgment

Is dang'rously near

On that day it won't matter

What you appear to be

Before a God who knows all

Who in your heart can see

I believe in a God

Who sees inside me

No outer shell here

He has set me free
