I made a great speech
but it will never reach
those I been trying to
touch once the money
and wealth is gone
you stuck with yourself
it's a struggle but
the two of you have to
get along you need
yourself to depend
on you may have
somebody to lean
on but you might not
always have a shoulder
to cry on it's a
wandering bumpy
winding road you
have to make a full
circle to get to where
you're going prepare
for the runaround
take time growing it
takes along time to
mature it don't happen
when you reach puberty
that don't mean
sexual freedom don't
be promiscuous
nonsense is contagious
it's cantankerous
on the conscious
it doesn't matter if
you believe in God
or science a tree is
a tree a bird is a bird
and it's a black rock
in the middle of it all
I'm not a critic I do
not critique I respond
to those who speak
to me it's etiquette and
part of my upbringing
it disturbs me that
night's at Freddy' call of duty fortnite
and social media
is raising my children
children it hurt my feelings
they follow NBA Young Boy
religiously and recite his
lyrics to the T "if they only
had a brain after I
single handedly cured the generational pain
the hellion's went and
started a new stain
chasing clout and fame
I have a right mind to
cut off the head of the
host and toss it in the flame but murder is not
what I wrote I'm too
removed to have a vote
I sit back I watch em
grow this culture
is out of control I still
believe it's God plan
I draw a line in the sand
stand on a box of soap
look around and clear
my thought open
a book to the speech
I wrote I'm talking
to a loaded gun "don't shoot" I'm a forthright
sensitive about what I
do don't piss me off
I might shoot you
every thing I write I
must recite even if it
ends my life no one lives forever I take nothing
for granted and never
say never I stand for
what is right death's
gone always be in the
neighborhood hanging
on the corner even
wrong is by my side
like standing on
black and white
checkered floors
did my part my part
is done handed over
the reins to daughters
and sons blowing smoke
coughing up lungs
I'm not here to save
one soul savior is
not my role I thrive
on creative energy to achieve a goal
my life's work is my flow

mlowe5 says: Thus, must we leave un-apathetic voting footprints for the coming generations. Now, this is where it's at. For the right the Ancestors won, we can't and should not, just flush all down the toilet. Believe me, I know where you're coming from, but is my age-old wisdom. ONE. Peace and Love. |

Thrust Upon A Timeshe's wicked he's evil people melting over blue and red meanwhile pink and green seep between cracks in the script  |
Here We Go Againthe water is getting deeper waves are getting higher earth is on a warpath wind is calm for now I hear there will be fire next time but what about this time if you were given a chance for one last dance would you take it or stand with your back against the wall watching everyone else have a ball while Babylon fall the last hurrah then "Hip Hip Hurray" do not fear be not afraid at the close of the day night gone fall on us all while waiting for the electricity to come back on making a promise is not the same as making a point the drift been gotten prior to what's been done, before is a current past event |
Spirals Of Smokebe informed to get in formation currently the new currency is information be not uninformed action is required activate desire it ain't over until the unsung sing It's Done do not retire there will always be fire to start new beginnings it doesn't matter who's winning we will win win and win again it is written |
All Pointswhen you stuck you believe in something you can't get out of when you blocked you believe you can't get ahead because something is in the way when you flow you believe you unstoppable when you open you believe you walking around without clothes when you can't let go you believe you can't let go what we believe got us under control when you believe you can fly levitation is no longer impossible to achieve |
No Two Ways About Itthere's a old say that goes you have to laugh to keep from crying I get it I'm laughing but not cause I want to cry for any particular reason you know that idiom it never fails it means it happens every time once we recognize we're out of our league it's wise to pursue a league of our own I'm smiling I have something to smile about that don't have nothing to do with what's going on in the world something I can't do nothing about on that note "Uh Oh" is an expression of alarm dismay and means it's too late "it's about to go down" |
Enthrall (Repost)got these broken wings I don't know why I never could fly I never wished for such a thing so many others dream so many others sing I wish and I wish on other things like we all, wakeup at the same time How bout that? we can all celebrate you...know have a good time fun, without, someone getting beside themselves pulling out a gun killing another mothers son or someone's baby girl, we'll just sit around talking about what we're going to do with all the wealth sadly the mule has died of natural causes but, there's plenty of acres and homes to be had now if I could just, find that genie, I got a few more to settle the score |
It Gets Messywaiting for something I want hope and wish to happen is like watching a mouse hole real close while holding a bat |
On The Heels Of The Suna Butterfly abandons her egg her offspring is left behind without a mother to cling to some would think doomed from the start giving into our circumstance is refusal to change everyone gets a chance a Caterpillar cannot transform into a Butterfly if it die before its/it's time the light is often taken off the Caterpillar and shown on the Butterfly the mother of a Caterpillar is a Butterfly she gives birth to the one who is destined to transform she's the one who gives birth to change the Caterpillar is one who comes out the dark into the light where one come from does not determine where one will end up |
The Ripple (Repost)trying hard is not trying hard enough enough we have to put faith in the sun that it will shine again even when the sky is gray everything around us falls apart as long as our heart is beating we're not defeated nor are we destroyed something goes wrong we must be strong it won't be long hold on here we go back to the dome in some form or another if you're with someone then you got each other if we build our foundation strong enough to float how can we go under let lightening strike we're made of thunder take a sip from the power within put the cup down raise the pen we write to win this is a conquest not a contest a inkwell of consciousness |
Nov 5my distaste for voting season is people act like their talking to children telling them don't forget to brush their teeth asking them did they wash their hands telling them what they should do what they need to do what they have to do people act like they get paid to remind grown folk to vote who's going to know you did if they didn't see you do it |
