Maghribe says..
As the sun shines there will be another color
As the face signs there must be a diffrent brother
As the shape lies YOU GOTTA think much deeper
As the walk goes you gotta see much faster
As the talk tones you gotta be a good listner
As the body stinks you gotta smell much better
As the lady winks you gotta ease your heart temper
As the wish fades you gotta be a good runner
As the thought hides you gotta hear the wake up caller
As the whole departs you gotta bring that which gather
As the TRUTH lasts you gotta be an honest seeker
And As as my word falls i gotta be a good writer

Always remember that English is not "phonetic". That means that we do not always say a word the same way that we spell it. Some words can have the same spelling but different pronunciation, for example: Some words have different spelling but the same pronunciation, for example: Learn the 52 Sounds of English |
