Another one of my brother Larry Wesson's Poem

American Dream Written Benjamin L. Wesson Jr   

American's Dream 

Join me in my desperation 
People of this, the greatest nation 
Uncover lies you've failed to see. 
Stop this nightmare of infamy 
You say you're free. 
You claim you're just 
Is it really in God you trust 
Or is this a lie you tell yourselves 
And trust naught not even you 
But someone else. 

Reach out your hands to all around 
Find a wall and tear it down 
Wipe away the lies you face 
Do away with all disgrace 
And then be free 
And then be just 
Place in God all your trust 
Put truth in the lie you told yourselves 
Trusting all including you 
Don't shirk it off on someone else. 

Do away with all discrimination 
Bring to truth this integration 
Don't lie to you, don't lie to me 
Don't tell me that all men are free 
For they're not free 
And you're not just 
God's not yet received your trust 
To you you've lied 
And then to me 
In saying that all men are free.

The Love I Hold For You

I search my friends
And at times, I think in vain
For someone who will sit and talk
And tell me things that I should hear
Sharing all their thoughts profane
But never asking for my name

And others sit and say in haste
That it is my time I waste
That never shall I truly find
A person with the things I seek
A woman who will sit and talk
And never think an ugly thought
Or question why I sit and stare
Into her eyes as she says
The things she feels that she must say
But understands without a word
That everything she says is heard
And understands without a doubt
And that I appreciate her thoughts

When I find one such as this
There'll be no need for me to kiss
For she will feel the way I do
And know just how I feel for you
But I shall kiss her lips and hands
And caress her minds demands
And maybe fall in love with her
Should she desire me to
At least until she tires of me
And sends me back to you.

Always have I looked around
For people such as this
For women waiting for a man
To bring a little bliss
And one day as I look
Maybe I will find
A woman who will share my love
Until the end of time
And if when I return to you
I look into your eyes
And see the you gave me once
That only spoke of love
I'll sit back down and talk my love
And kiss your lips until you hear
The bells resound without the pain
That you felt before I left
When we kissed and I felt guilt
And if the bells you do not hear
I'll leave again in haste
For your precious time my dear
I never want to waste
And should you feel the pain again
You felt there once before
I'll retreat back through my soul
And quickly shut the door.

Should no pain come with the kiss
And I can be sincere
I'll take your hand and lead you off
I'll ring the bells and show you love
And love the love that you show me
Knowing truly that we are one
And that our lives have then begun 
And forever we will love
You and I with peace of soul
And that none can hurt that love
With hollow words so insincere
In any way or in any year

But until then
Should it never be?
I'll search my friends
Through out the world
And show them love that should be yours
Waiting for the time to come
Hoping that it's not in vain
That I wait, (or that I search)
For the time when I can give
The love I hold for you

Benjamin L. Wesson was born on December 8, 1944 at Fort Benning.Georgia to Benjamin Lawrence Wesson,R and Mattie Colleen Wesson nee Stanton.
However; our parent's expected to much of him. He was a free spirt and artist and poet.
When he became a Catholic our late maternal grand-mother asked our late mother if Catholics went to heaven. This is because she was brought up in The Southern Baptist Church.
Larry has a daughter by Carol whose name is Jennifer. She was given up for adoption because Carol's parent's would not allow her to keep her baby.
I met Carol later after Larry died at Southern Towers where we lived in Alexandria,Virginia. She did not know that Larry died in automobile accident on August 8, 1967 in Rock Spring,Wyoming.
Larry is laid to rest at Popular Springs Baptist Church on August 13, 1967,by our late maternal grandparents and our late mother, Colleen Wesson nee Stanton.
