Faruq can only imagine a life filled with passion.
A life without having to hide himself from the world like masked men.
A life without having to use a smile as my umbrella to conceal the sadness.
He can only imagine.
Because as his age advances
He can now see,
First you have to be something
to be considered a has been.
So he never was because he stayed broke.
He stayed on his last ten
He stayed in trouble.
He stayed trying to avoid judgement of his actions
He stayed..... trying to get traction
Get his feet up under him....
Get his head above water
Once he does all he sees ....
A mountain to climb
His time is getting shorter
He's getting older.
He won't live much longer.
And only thing he knows about his death
is that will come before his life is dishonored.
He gets haunted by Tashawn.
The name given to his past demon
His past demon stay in his ear
He keep screaming . ...screaming!!!
Telling him to feed'em
Telling him he need'em
Telling him everybody can see'em
But nobody going to help
Or tell him the reasons
Or even
Give him a purpose or cause to believe in
So he believe him ,
Tashawn, his demon
like everything he say is right
So he stuck in the ways that made his life
Until a question came like a ray of light
If his way is right
why would he have to imaginate a life?
A life filled with passion ,
Love, peace of mind, some satisfaction
That's what Faruq is asking .......Tashawn
But Tashawn didn't give a response
No response doesn't get Faruq alarmed
He just takes the silence as evidence
That how he lives is wrong
Been wrong. .....all along
