\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Crow<\/strong><\/p>\n

Crows are black, as we all know.<\/p>\n

But, that doesn\u2019t make them evil though.<\/p>\n

Crows usually fly in flocks and squawk.<\/p>\n

They make a lot of noise on my block.<\/p>\n

But, sometimes, one crow will be near.<\/p>\n

However, there is no need to fear.<\/p>\n

If you go out he may fly away.<\/p>\n

Then he is back the very next day.<\/p>\n

When he squawks answer him.<\/p>\n

Most likely he will squawk again.<\/p>\n

His head will swivel back & forth.<\/p>\n

Looking around for you, of course.<\/p>\n

Crows could be a good omen.<\/p>\n

You turn away and go back in.<\/p>\n

Crows are only birds,—-right?<\/p>\n

To answer that may take all night.<\/p>\n

Some say yes. Others say no.<\/p>\n

I guess you\u2019ll have to ask the crow.———–R. W. Johnson—–(2006)<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The Secret<\/strong><\/p>\n

Way down deep in the recesses of your heart.<\/p>\n

There is locked away a secret.<\/p>\n

Deep within your heart.<\/p>\n

Something cries to be released.<\/p>\n

Within your heart.<\/p>\n

Something causes you pain.<\/p>\n

In your heart.<\/p>\n

It wants to be released.<\/p>\n

Aching heart.<\/p>\n

It gives you pain.<\/p>\n

It is time.<\/p>\n

Time.<\/p>\n

For the secret<\/p>\n

To be revealed.————————–R. W. Johnson—–(2006)<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Forbidden Fruit<\/strong><\/p>\n

You say you\u2019re worried about a civil suit?<\/p>\n

After tasting some forbidden fruit.<\/p>\n

I might think that a little odd.<\/p>\n

But, not after you tasted it on the job.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the matter? Have you lost your mind?<\/p>\n

You just might end up doing jail time.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not tasting with whom you are wed,<\/p>\n

you are thinking with the wrong head.<\/p>\n

The end result——–You lost your job.<\/p>\n

You can plead your case to God.<\/p>\n

But, lust is a sin in His book too.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d hang it up if I were you.———————R. W. Johnson—–(2005)<\/p>\n
