The future is fraught with danger and delight.
Of things that will come and of things that only might.
All that is determined by what we do tonight.
By the choices we make, be them wrong or right.
Open the eyes
the person looked into the...void,
which it was glowing brightly against the earth.
Why the brightest light on earth or was it not?
The person looked deeper into it.
I'd like to give a base for my deviance
And like the Founding Fathers
I'd like to site my grievances
I see all these people with their heads in the sand
Wondering why they're lost and saying
What is a waste of time?
Is it rhyme without time,
Corona without lime?
Does it lay in money that flies to pay
Or a day when friends distract, run, play?
Maybe my Love, just maybe,
Love, I’ve made a mistake.
A graven error
Fit to the terrors
And tremors befitting the quakes.
For me, the buildings are falling
I have become decided,
That I will walk down this path.
You may say what you will,
But this is where I shall go.
I will work and strive,
To prove that I am real.
Im not a genius
Im just creative
No better than the other guy
Who has been created
I climbed my way up through the business world
Who would ever know success would come
Once upon a dream
She lived Lavishly,
Where happiness felt clean
To the soul of purity
Invited all in unity
They laughed endlessly
Enjoying the offering of peace
In eternal divinity
ONE JOB. . .
One hope,
One ambition.
Is what we are made to choose,
during our high school days.
Before we are 18,
and can legally smoke.
Before we are 21,
The pressures on, so here we go.
Get a career, to make some dough.
A Game designer, I can't get there faster.
I already am, a pokemon master.
Mechanics, physics, chemistry math.
There are two path ways
Right and wrong
which one would you choose?
School or skate park,
Homework or party.
Choices become overwhelming.
You can have fun today or a better tomorrow,
There came a time
When I considered throwing away all religion and relationship
As things started to shift
So I subconsciously gave my spirit the weight to sank its own ship
I don't care you're not the same as me
You don't care I'm not the same as you
Why is that so hard for them to see?
They always talk but never do
I look around me
All around me
there's nothing warm about this time
the cold it locks the pain inside
and freezes all the tears Ive cried
I know which path will help me rise
In my belly lies a body
A body that breathes
Every breath
Inhale
Exhale
A breath that yearns for life
A life that yearns to breathe
Wondering
What kind of person will I be?
Why waste away your heart and lose your soul?
Everyday brings a chance to convey,
Renewed meaning of life,
Revived displays of beauty,
And vibrant essence of bright futures.
I.
Think of a Polaroid,
with its thick, white border around my
snapshot of Kadeem,
little boy with shiny onyx skin
squatting behind white bars
on my uncle’s porch
by himself.
