mama used to always say
she was broke all the time
she always wondered why
she couldn't keep it together
to make ends meet, she read
her bible and went to church
still she couldn't see, that
the words she spoke were
her defeat I mean how could
we possibly stand when she
kept knocking us off our feet
I guess though mama may be
ordained she don't practice
what she preach, from what
I have learned I must teach
if you want to touch the hem
you must reach and know this
with out a doubt a breakthrough
is nothing short of a... reach
for those who sit and say "oh well"
this is not to impale, this is what
it entails for one to evolve
one must first climb out of hell
