I See You

I do have eyes.
I use them to see
through the fog that's rising
around me.
A terrible fog,
that seems unnatural
creatures clawing from the mist
a scent so foul it's attacking you.
and drawing us in
with a sort of false comfort.
Promising us safe harbor on a peaceful port.
while I see into this fog I envision a large fort.
A better attempt to control import and export.
I want no part of this it's bigger than me!!
Please allow me to escape with my dignity.
Does the fog hear me,
as an individual hear my plea
I hear talks of a rising economy
and different kinds of fuels
for lower price automobiles.
The fog seems good but still,
I can't pay my bills.
so I use my reality
to judge what is real,
because this fog starts controlling how I feel.
Angering me with generalizations
Everyone is different from their station
to skill, or occupation.
The fog then soothes me with intoxication,
or show me wonders beyond human imagination,
then upset me again with lies and exaggerations.
I cant even trust other people views,
as I see, the fog controls the news,
but I do have eyes and I use them to see,
the good and the bad that surround me.

In Loving Memory

In your memory,

I’m going to hold our family down.

In your memory,

I got to stand tall and on solid ground.

In your memory,

Loyalty over respect and money.

In your memory,

No longer moving like a dummy.

I knew you’d leave before me.

I warned you damn near everyday,

Told in every single way

Placed demands on you,

Even put my hands on you.

Not to hurt you but to stop you,

Had to grip you up before the cops do.

I must have slipped or I simply failed,

Still got caught up in this streets over drugs sells.

Now I see why Pac say aint no g’s in hell.

Your heart was so big.

Held ya peops down; no gig.

Give’em the shirt off your back.

Didn’t care if they was White, Rican , or Black.

In your memory,

I’m going to hold our family down.

In your memory,

I got to stand tall and on solid ground.

In your memory,

Loyalty over respect and money.

In your memory,

No longer moving like a dummy.

I got to let you know that we were trapped,

And god chose you to take the rap,

Now I’m supposed to live thinking this way.

Missing you every minute of the day.

You were my other half before I had a wife,

But you still had respect for my life

And you loved her like I do.

The minute she heard you died ,she cried too.

And sped through the traffic jumping in and out the lanes.

Your leaving us only added to her pain.

And mommy was insane.

In the kitchen on the floor

And you can see that she don’t want to live no more!!

And our sisters didn’t believe the police,

And all I could scream was what about my niece?

In your memory,

I’m going to hold our family down.

In your memory,

I got to stand tall and on solid ground.

In your memory,

Loyalty over respect and money.

In your memory,

No longer moving like a dummy.
