Nothing Really Matters To Me

It doesn't matter to me 

It doesn't matter to me from where you come from or experiences you've endured in your life 

It doesn't matter if you were raised with privileges, always had your way, in a home with no pain, and smiles on everyone's face

It doesn't matter if you came from below the struggle where pain builds tears that floods the eye and hardships apart of day to day life

It doesn't matter if you are highly educated with a Doctorate or Masters Degree

It doesn't matter if you are one who successfully made it by following his or hers dream

It doesn't matter your race, color, belief, creed or ethnicity 

Nothing really matters if Within Your Life The Lord Can Not Be Seen 

Some may question why the things of this life move or react me

The answer is all so true and ever so clear to see

Nothing really matters to me

1940's Black Man Vents

It's morning and everyone's outside waiting for the truck to pick us up to go to work in the cotton field

In the back of the truck filled with workers, I close my eyes to appreciate the wind that hits my face

I Pray to the Lord that my future children will have a better opportunity to do something with their lives, say f*ck this labor s*it, educate their minds, own some sh*t, travel this motherf*ckn world, learn as much as they can, and escape this b*tch

Vision Killers

People that pour all of their energy into destroying your dreams

In expectations of derailing your ideas with negative words that may bring about fear

Throwing around the words such as, "you can't or can not"

In hopes that they'll settle into your ears

Stand By With No Concern

Everyone has someone that envies them in some form or way 

So be not concerned, live life no matter your status

And let the envyaters stand by, soak up your success, and Hate

Be Aware Of Your Surroundings

In these day & times it's wise to be cognesant of your entire surroundings

No matter where you may be, be aware at all times

No one knows when it be there time

Any second, minute, hour, Evil may present itself 

To potentially inflict harm onto you in many ways 

Be mindful of the tricks inwhich is it's trade

The conniving games inwhich it plays

So to everyone everywhere pay close attention in everyway

For no ones promised to open their eyes on the very next day

BE AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS

The Art of Poetry

To express a pain or feeling onto paper, live or on stage

To be able to reach readers and listeners with the way one put together each sentence, methapor, or phrase

A gift that not many have these days

This ability to pull from ones self and burn a pencil onto a page.

In The Trenches

Imagine you are in the Trenches of life 

Walking through dark walls on each side 

In the distant ahead you can see a light

You become clastophobic with each step 

The walls feel as if there closing in 

But Faith keeps you moving unitil you reach the end

Don't Blink

Be mindful of who you let into your space and completely open up to

For trust now a days, is like a finger on the trigger off a loaded gun pointed directly at you

Who are you to procastinate on what you can do

All it takes is a little hustle, drive, and motivation

Let the warrior inside become the beast 

Believe no one can hold you back or stop you

Work hard nevermine the simple minded fools

Sacrifice for success he'll see you through
