Born into and from love I did ascend
Knowing of a physical father in young memories
Watching him self destruct before my eyes
Married to my mother but loving her plus his alcoholic sessions
For reasons unseen and haunted by reoccurring bad dreams
Or so I can only assume, my first example in training
A realized love that couldn’t stay as I made notes
Taking to sights and sounds for referencing……..
Next up was the neighborhood bully, picking on me
Talking to me demeaning and threatening of family
Afraid of the love inside letting the devil fully rise
Until forced to defend the honor of childhood infighting
Delivering a solid and chilling rage fueled bodily fullisade
Quite frighteningly I was left lonely, my first example in maintaining
A realized love that couldn’t stay as I made notes
Taking to sights and sounds for referencing……..
Then came the gangs, thugs and thieves, who nurtured me
Showing me how to drop the biggest one, from just one done
Delivering stolen goods and breaking jaws of those running scared
I watched quite amazed as knockouts, zip gun blasts and chains reign
Switchblades were for stabbing enemies and slicing handbags
Chillingly these miscreants showed me violence, my first example of heart pertaining
A realized love that couldn’t stay as I made notes
Taking to sights and sounds for referencing……..
All the while, living in a world of deep duality
Being raised and loved consistently by a praying mother
Who imbued honesty, class, humility and manners inhome
Not teaching manhood per se, but instilling good traits for building
Gladly these characteristics revealed balance, my first examples of refining
A realized love that will always stay as I made notes
Taking to sights and sounds for referencing……..
Along this journey, there were other forefathers of reference
Like a gay man, who taught how and when to recognize scruple-less women
Like a dope fiend, who gave his life so I wouldn’t follow his footsteps
Like a jealous acquaintance , who pulled a gun but was too punk to shoot
Like corporate bosses, who put business first and always extended help to the youths
All of the above, help me to realize love as I continue to keep notes
Taking what I need from sights and sounds for constant referencing…..
All THE TIME MY FATHER GOD NEVER LEFT ME,
CHECKING AND GUIDING FROM HEAVEN
BUILDING MY FAITH AND LOVE FOR FELLOW JOURNEYMAN……
SEEKING TRAINING, MAINTAINING,
PERTAINING REFERENCING OF REFINING….
NO QUESTIONING LIFESTYLES
BUT LEARNING FOREVER FROM MY FOREFATHERS
PROVIDED FOR MY EDUCATION IN LOVING HUMANITY
AS GOD CONTINUES MY TEMPERANCE IN
LOVE’S ABILITY IN EACH AND EVERYONE!
SO WHO TEACHES YOU?
HOW DID YOU LEARN TO……LIVE, LOVE, FORGIVE AND GIVE BACK, IF IT WASN’T FOR OUR FOREFATHERS?
