___Sunset___

Sunset

The tides splash

The night and day clash

Creating and unforgivable color

The kind to make you sit back and wonder

How the sky is the way it is

How far away that bright star is

Even the birds take a break to marvel

At the sunset color in caramel (carmal)

When the sun goes down its like eye lids slowly shutting

And when they open, up the sun is coming

It goes down but never cools off

The air is so soft

Till the next day, it’s almost like a slow goodbye

Its crazy, all of this is in her eyes

))))Excuses((((

Excuses

“I’m from the hood” is an excuse
Point has been beat over the head, abuse
Yeah every one has a head start
But you still have a role to play, a part
You not the only one to come from the bottom
You not the only one to see a friend one day, next they shot him
Poverty is a way of life to most of us
Bad credit, bills, debt, loans, all ways to trap us
But playing into their hands isn’t smart
And taking back our community is a start
Stop using the hood as an excuse
You’re good with numbers and weights, put that to use
Any education is a plus
Business smarts and street smarts is a must
With this new age of technology
To succeed you really have every possibility
Stop using excuses, people tend to want to lend a hand
You can ask for help using your own plan
Its tough enough trying to get ahead
Put down the gun and pick up a book instead
Any body can be a thug but not all dads are fathers
You yelling racism, so why bother
But you ain’t doing anything to claim that
You still in the same situation you were five years ago, you whack
Climb the success ladder, how about that
Then maybe you have an argument that’s intelligent
But other than that your excuses are irrelevant

(>>HANDS<<)

These words are like hands reaching out
When life goes side ways and you don’t know what it’s about
I hope my words lend a hand
If to do nothing but help you stand
Stand strong in the face of adversity
Because it will happen certainly
Fall into water and you can’t swim?
Don’t panic, my hands I’ll lend them
Reach in with no hesitation to help
So hopefully a thick skin you’ll develop
I hope to be solid like a strong rope
When in need I’ll be your friend
Just grab my hand

New Poem..

Pineapple Orange

Pineapple orange is what I call her
She got that fiery citrus, yes sir
She got that tough outer coat to get through
But when you do…
Nothing like sweet fruit
Specially one with many layers
And a taste that caters
The kind that puts to rest all the debaters
But she does have a sharp side; that’s the pineapple in her
But she’s healthy enough to help pain cure
And its better to have her pure
You know, not from concentrate
No need for mixing, pineapple orange straight
I got mine, close your eyes and start to speculate
Isn’t fruit great?

New Poem>>>>> Salvation

Salvation

I feel like I’m being chased by terminator
On my knees sending up a prayer
Because my future has been prophesied, or prayed for
Mom has prayed for my success and wife since four
But it’s hard to live up to those standards
Trying to stay strong so push ups till my hands hurt
I’m resisting the leader of the resistance
For instance
I know I can be great but I just want to live
Grow old with a wife and kids
Everyone says I’m a good kid and I have a bright future
But I don’t want to be stuck in battle with Lex Luther
He’s just a metaphor representing the struggle
Its about to burst, my bubble
Some times I want to be faceless and fade into the background
But they all want me to be the champ pound for pound
I just want to be me
From all my problems take flight and flee
However, I’ve learned I can create me own destiny
The direction I’m pointed too
But the work is up to me to do
I can changed the scene if I choose
I can change the color from dark to light blues
I’ve had an epiphany to a certain extent
Use my pen to vent
And realize this is a blessing heaven sent
This was planned since creation
Control what I can, that’s my salvation
And I’m ready to adapt
