the plan was to reach one thousand
a thousand became two thousand
now I'm thinking three thousand
wondering will I reach four
thousand if I had a dollar for
every thousand I would have
thousands of dollars it ain't
about money to spend it's
time well spent but it wasn't
always spent well I tell you
the truth some of its been
pure hell as if it can be pure
it took courage to endure
the first title was Somber
it was red gold and green
full of pages that were
numbered skin was black
as coal it was summer
second tittle was Use The Pain
work that went undone
couldn't complete without
mastery guess I'm still
practicing it's enjoyable
but like hard labor it's
not easy to get out it's
painful and uncomfortable
like constant constipation
leads to a lot of sitting
and frustration earned my
lashes earned my strikes
wrong or right earned
my stripes still taken hits
long as I live gone have to
feel might as well count
the pages as the world turns
dig a hole bury the words
wrapped up tight to keep out
the worms it'll be safe in the
earth when the world burn
