holy grail

Location

a man that was homeless sleeping on the bench with a corona in his hand

overcomes that hardship with well deserve rest on his bed, in his mansion with a wine in his hand

a woman who was a crackhead injecting poison to her veins until her eyes rolled up

withstood the temptation of writing her own will by injecting love to her heart

where it pumps a 2nd life

a young mother, whose 1st born was a crack baby

determine to save his life by just feeding him food that ignites signs of life

a black man, who society calls a worthless nigga from the hood

informed society that he is a proud black man from the projects

and made it through by educating himself in becoming a CEO of his company

a latino, not hispanic witness his father domestically puching his mother like a boxer

in whom all thought would be violent and become a wife beater

that same latino proved the world wrong when he pick up a pair of gloves

and box his way to not only become an icon, but  a legend

a white man that lives in a trailer is consider poor white trash in many eyes

in his eyes, all he did was own an oil comapny making top dollars

you build from the grounds up

you fight for what you stand for

you stand by your convictions

let no one take away your identity

never let anyone tell you that you can't

they say that because you can do what they can't

always believe in yourself 

and when yop become a superstar, you are a holy grail
