If they can make you believe
then you believe in make-believe
made up stories backed up without a lead
setting the stage for the curtains to fall
leaves us standing in the thought of it all
sold on what we will buy before we even try
to see if it’s a lie
why does the new milk make the baby cry?
the diagnoses comes from the other side
two taps later the child dies
the one who comes to comfort the mother is a spy
this story unfolds like clean sheets so new
there are still pleats
what has been written is not
for the weak only the strong will succeed
we know that a process straightens
the tangles beneath a weave
the course is the root that leads us
Toward the path of our dreams
taste it if you do not believe
looks like pudding could be ice cream
to be or to be got
which one will you be?

Kickin dogsyou can’t go around doing people dirty expecting to stay clean I know too many people who are that damn insane the rocks you throw at others will boomerang and hit you harder when you fall and you will stay there and crawl like the dog you are maybe I’ll toss you a bone with some meat of sympathy coz the way I see it every dog got to eat call me crazy but maybe I’ll even help you up on your feet though you dogged me out you are still a human being to me you told lies to crucified my life you stabbed me in the back so deep I’m still trying to locate the knife I continue to return your fake smile back @ you while building a fortress around me using the stones that you threw in the dark or light of day I can’t trust you no way I have to keep my distance that I must do coz you are too vicious you tried to devour me like I was something delicious you bit me too many times when you bark I bark back @you dogs will be dogs so ... |
StatusToday I’m eating Today I have a roof over my head Today I have clothes and shoes Today I want so much to happen tomorrow Today I’m at peace no sorrow Today I’m a lender Today I don’t have to borrow I want so much to happen tomorrow Today I have much to live for Should I die I’m building A foundation to give more Today I want so much to happen tomorrow Today I can truly say I made it To another day after passing through yesterday As hours pass I wish time could last long enough I want so much to happen tomorrow but today is enough Today |
It hurts to cryYou left and I was grieving They told me you were gone I didn’t believe it That couldn’t have been Your blood on the cement The same day we had a disagreement The same day you told me you were leaving The day I saw your mother crying I knew it was true they weren’t lying I had to cry in the rain to hide my pain I know you’re in heaven Coz you don’t owe the devil A got damn thing You were good and I was bad I was an outcast You were all that I had Now I’m down to nothing Feeling bad about the things I said I didn’t mean it It was out of meanness I cry a little it hurts a lot I was sleep when I heard the shots I salute you You were a true troop Unlike those bullets that hit you I will miss... |

High Beamswhen I was young I use to see things mama use to tell me don’t tell stories stop fantasizing don’t hum no harmonizing she took the stars from my sky spit wiped the gleam from my eyes in arts and crafts trying to get back my craft it was hard to be creative even if I tried lord knows I cried though I found relief in the thought of suicide my best course of action was to stay alive people use to think I was all shuck and jive until I started to spit off the top timing my bars with a stop watch I had to find refuge with a poet inside and an artist to hide going down the highway your thumbs out going my way I’m in the danger zone no child’s play salt and pepper it’s my season on the down low high treason about to do this again by the felt of my pen you’ll... |

three 6’s by my name abominated by the flames if you want a hit you better aim 53,000 hit my page thank you I'm humble writing is what keeps me sane the pain of everything fuels my rage I’m like a demon on stage to be completely honest I am not demonic I read a lot hooked on phonics the law of attraction to the book of the law holding the lamp rubbing my hands raw sticks and stones may break some bones you’ll run out of breath trying to keep up with the jones if you’re hating you better cast some stones I’m a castaway on an island of my own reading manuscripts with pages so red opened my wounds damn my soul bled I follow no one I loathe being led sitting ... |
Documentedsitting in a bus station for a duration on a 2 hour layover I had to make a choice to listen to that small voice, I didn’t want to hear a word It had to say coz I made up my mind I was on my way to do what was on my mind to do, my will time didn’t stop but it stood still, telling me Thou shalt not kill gun in my back pack they didn’t check that, I didn’t check it my life was spinning out of control God please take the wheel before I wreck it for all my mistakes I stand corrected don’t blame me my inner child is still wounded from being rejected I have to go deep kiss her on the forehead and watch her sleep when she’s awake she’s watching me walking it out in my integrity a small glimpse into my life about how I committed suicide without taking my life my words I never need to off... |
