"rise" feat. anita j.

as the..
sun rays
dance down
to the soil
which my soles touch
the warmth in my soul blush
on a foreign land
where i concieved my conception
of what it means to be a part of humanity
this land does not belong to me
as long as it can still breathe
some see,
the conclusion was to keep it diseased
dry the flowers on an upside down canvas
achieve superiority over torn flesh
power over a dead world, which leaves you where you began
with power over yourself, what is it that you dont see?
stop allowing them to force feed you all this greed
like a bad meal you tryin to eat to impress "good company"
when insititutions form, do we forget our independant respect?
if you can't trust what i'm saying then..
some take my kindness as weakness,
some hord the pig feed while i survive on scraps of sweetness
there's no point to be found struggling against yourself
nations are only formed by allowing independant self-clarification
fuck public examinations, stand lookin a mirror
wonderring what their goin to be sayin
dont you realize it's you that you need to be facing??
contemplation
of a crumbling corrupt nation
dilapadation of the temples
of our exteriors
a shoulder that seems inferior
too weak to carry
all the boulders
that life keeps adding onto our loads
travellin' down roads
some of which have left us reaping fruitless crops
so we stop
consider where we're headed
take a look around 360 degree angles embedded
in the cerebral map we glance at whenever we become lost
how easy that is when judgements are cast
and we can't see the real cost
of what it's doing to another
lashin' verbal attacks on each other
but your reflections the same as mine,
closer than a sister or brother
more like that divine spiritual essence
can't front like i don't recognize that presence
in every living being
but it's our eyes that lead us to mistrust what we be seeing
so who you fighting against really?
when it boils down to the ground
the acid you spittin' becomes your own mourning sounds
that you hear in your darkness, your own cries through the night
stop hurtin' yourself by hurtin' others
end the cycle and find your path to the Light...
life is a dream
i wake up concieved in
sweatting my ass off
trying to pass off the tragedies
that i claim are not
indirectly effecting my trains of thought
why do i lie?
i dont even go to church any more
but i sit under the trees and cry..
speaking tongues that have traces of where my real heart resides
where walls are victim to defamation
and words are victim to fall dead, if they dont attack everyone who enters their premises (can u correct that word.. i cant think how to spell it.. juss now)
still i stand a pacifist in action against the nemesis
damn
transformations left me with a new perception
my body became the temple that i worshipped inside =ing my ressurection
i began to keep 24/7 in my heart the place where my Creator could reside
and hell i still cry
cuz life is still amass with burdens
and though i'm still strugglin'
still moving through obstacles
still facing adversities,
fears and the worst of my own insecurities
I'm still alive with the breath and strength to keep fighting through
Cuz this world is a battlefield
but we're armed with experiences laced with lesson-filled jewels
that'll bring us wisdom and truth to help us on our pathway
can't give up no matter how rough be the terrain
keep elevating
keep maintaining
keep breathing life energy
cuz it's our choices that'll determine
when our hour glass's sands will cease
RISE
