Changes

Rant 8

I need more time in a day

And more funds comin my way

So i can mold my craft

My art

I want to stimulate your mind

Not just chart

To be IT for a moment

I want to be frozen

In time

Climb

To my prime

And make a difference

For myself

To others

Numbers

Don't mean a thing

If you don't mean something

Say something

To raise up our people

Like a steeple

Because we all are equal

No one man better than another

In the end

We are all sisters and brothers

And the world is grey

With monotone colors

Until we all open our eyes

And become wise

To Rise

Pass

Ignorance

Demise

Is what we need to accomplish

Polish

All that doesn't shine for the better

'Cuase until then we are the lesser

Of ourselves

Rant 8

I want to expand my mind/
But I don’t have the time/
At least that what I tell myself so i’ll feel fine/
About the situation/
That I’m making myself face/
I see knowledge running by/
Yet knowledge I won’t chase/
Even-though I have the material/
But I rather listen to the stereo/
And vibe to the melody/
Or watch the TV/
Television/
All it’s doing is messing up my vision/ Metaphorically/
Actually/
Physically/
& Mentally/
Nevertheless I still do nothing/
As if I’m content/
With mediocre/
Average being/
The norm is all I’m seeing/
But if I took the time/
Endless is what I could be freeing/

Rant 1

Some things just confuse life
Make easy turn to strife
Make right turn to wrong
Short turn to long
Words turn to song
Weak turn to strong
Some things just flip stuff upside down
Turn happiness to frown
Craziness to
Anything
It is crazy how one moment things can be breezy
Nice, slow, and easy
And in the blink of an eye
Those same things can make me cry
So when I can't bare it I just close my eyes
Try and let my mind free me
Hide from everything that can see me
So that I can momentarily live freely
My mind is my prison and paradise
Things in there can be simple
Pretty like a dimple
Or ridiculous and outrageous
That make living courageous
I’m trying to learn to shake depression
And let pride and past experience shine
Because strength, courage, and positivity
Are contagious
We can't let p...

Violence

 Hit me,
I restrain
Hit me again,
I retain
Hit me three times
You I'll blame
Im tired of living in shame
Fighting back
Because I must protect myself
Must help myself
Must
Be better than I was raised
Thought violence
Was to blame
Was normal
But learned
That it was just horrible
Something used to belittle
An individuals worth
To make themselves feel empowered
Like a tower
They feel they stand
But coward is where they should land
Holding they're head high
While you remain with yours low
Disappearing in the shadows
While they shine in the light//
You used to be a leader
Not afraid to speak your mind
But now you can't even think for yourself
Making you feel like knowledge is bad for your health
and
Like you can't do better
Like they are the best
