A message to mommy
This woman 
Made me
Pushed me out 
In this old cold world 
Stopped my crying with a hug
Started me crying with well placed slap
This woman loved me before I was in physical form as my cells split in two then four
She knew me before I knew her 
Mommy can you hear me 
I’m crying because your dying 
I replay everything you say
I don’t know what you want me to do
I can’t hug your neck 
A thousand miles away from your smile 
I would walk back to your love 
I’m sorry mommy I didn’t prepare for this moment 
Time is an executioner 
Time is cruel
Mommy is it time for you to go
I don’t know 
Can I go 
And you stay
For a minute 
For a hour
Just stay a little longer 
I love you Mommy

It Only Takes One

It only takes one

Bullet

Force times Mass equals buried bodies

I attended a funeral today

No one cried

Neither mother father sister or son

Shed a tear

Eyes forward in a thousand yard stare

Sitting in a church full of empty amens

Barely acknowledging the pastors punchlines

On fearing no evil walking in the valley of death

It only takes one

Bullet to die

Here lies a 15 year old child of God

With a one way ride in the back of a Caddy

It only takes one 

Argument

It only takes one

Dissagreement

To get your name on a Tee shirt

It only takes one bullet  to die..........

The Insurrection of Tupac Shakur

How dare him 

Tupac Shakur

He laid down his thug life inside a bloody BMW

A decimal point on a decade

New Jack Swings and Mandatory Minimums

Tupac shouts at the Devil

A child of protest

Hungry for the past

Pac crucified himself for our entertainment

Remanded to custody on camera

Call him a jail cell Jesus

Perp-walked for our sins

Do-Rag flaggin 

Profane preacher

Lip sync our prayers

Tupac living dangerously

Tupac living Temporarily

Once you pick up the gun its hard to put it down

Get Down!

They shootin

On the Vegas Strip

N!gga sh!t

Got a n!gga hit

Tupac got got

Tupac got shot

His eyes always told the story

His eyes followed the sparow

The Insurrection of

Tupac Shakur...

Stream of Conscience

Pump syllables into your synapses

And get a happy ending

Drink bourbon blasphemy from red cups

Cussing like a sailor

Live life on a floatation device

2 minutes to midnight

Predators hunt for innocent bystanders

With tender hind quarters

2 minutes to midnight and the lights are still on

350 million synthetic souls love hate and hate love

Holy words sold

Holy words stole

Burning books make holy smoke

2 minutes to midnight

We cant find our way home

No radar

No sonar

No spotlight

Can pierce darkness

Save the last dance for yourself.......
