"My Vision"


          

I never would have thought
That I would be going to school to study creative writing and poetic verses
One bad decision could of had me behind bars
Or my family in limos driving behind hearses
In this society my skin color is the curse of all curses
Fuck the black man
Deny him any and all ways
To sufficiently and legally support himself, his family and get paid
In my neighborhood
No progress is made without an illegal pathway being paved
Drug dealers navigate a maze
That guides them from the kitchen, to the corner, and to the grave
In my environment
It takes a lot more than prayer to be saved
But we still pray
Choices and affiliations are like chess moves
Even though it might look like checkers to you
Please don't get it misconstrued
I live your worst nightmares everyday
Can I have a fair shot at the American dream just like you?
I cannot fail
Every move I make
Must be made with the most accurate precision
Because I refuse to be a product of my environment
But a product of my vision

the righteous walk by faith
heavy is the wait to salivate
we you smell a kill drug dealing
kills the will society wants to keep you ill
behind this bars nice to see you out jump
the long arm remember when the police harm
me and i defended but i don't even think he was repremended
but i was sentence but i didn't blame my skin tone
because it's was bought and own
like my father who sits on the throne
it's not about races or color
so many different faces belongs in heaven
a gentlemen once said it's about
the have and have nots
and secret society plots
they want all us in the same bubbling pot
put us against each other
brother against brother
after imprisoning your father
and making your mother carry the load
the kids then is expose to prowlers
internet brawlers can we holla
like dogs to warn beware not of the pit
but the owner of shit abbandon

good to see some one is having success
school for writing huh go for it
