Life
Life
Keeping my eyes aware
Witnessing the broken families my heart tears
Crying tears of pain
Knowing all to well the losses
Of past tosses
Love now propelling out of sight
Trying to grasp love is like gasping for air
In this life
I can only take so much
searching for another crutch
‘til I snap and break
Struggling to control my mental state
But I’m still standin’
Never forgettin’
But learnin’ to grow one day at a time
Cause this is our life
Tolerating everything outside of me
Mixing which resides within me
Only confuses me
Resulting in my state of self-affliction
Because of my own depiction
Of my life
Contagious grief overcomes me
Leading me once again to my heart broken pain
There are so many communities in need
Why don’t they open their eyes
Embracing the weak and innocent
While the poor are convicted
And wealthy are either saved or rescued
In this cancerous world where we reside
We choose to survive
in learning how to live or die
While living this life
We do what we gotta do
surviving’ like soldiers
But keep your eyes open always
Always on the righteous side
Keeping faith in your mind
Without this the temptation may erupt
No matter what stay strong
In the end that will be enough
I know it is hard with our foreshadowing demons
Just pray to god
Invite some help
While all this destruction and death
Is in this life
The Girl: Part II to “Life”
This is the girl
The girl that makes my heart curl
Her eyes make me realize
All along I have been telling myself lies
There is no question that my sorrows are no match
To her lifelong cries
As I look into her eyes
I ask the lord, why?
Why is humanity doomed to die?
We need to forget about the cause
And focus on the effect
In order for us to reflect
We need to put our thoughts on pause
And, to be politically correct
Simultaneously work to reunite society;
Enforce our laws philosophically
This is and will be the cause and effect
Once you think about it
We are the reason for our economy’s deficit
We are here to fulfill our destined demise
This is why through all of the cries and the lies
We must remain effective and wise
How else could we survive?
Knowing all too well that love is required for us to thrive
Within us, our foreshadowing demons are tempted to dwell
This is how humanity first fell
Now, to survive on our own is a must
So this I will end with “in god I will trust”
