Craving a deeper knowledge

than these superficial thrills

Than follows and likes and views.  

Feel me from the four chambers

that give blood to my entire being. 

Feel me, now because it’s beauty

but because God is within me

and shapes and forms and controls my being. 

Feel me because it’s respect

because you want freedom just as I do

and that is more important

than being cool to you;

Showing you what I have and do not

flaunting my seemingly “perfect” life

to you, when you don’t care.

I’m wrapped up in Christ’s protection and love

another earthly love ground in God

and la familia—always dedicated to us. 

The food you eat doesn’t satisfy me. 

I say away because you have abandoned

me to eat the fruit of their world only. 

And I just can’t role that way. 

I need food for my soul

To carry me until I’m good and old

And my love is all that holds.

Just give me food for my soul.
