Hey Old Friend

•An old friend told dude that his grooves are often sad as shit./

Full of heart break and downers and I'm like,hell! At the time that's all I seemed to be having and shit./

• Though the timing is,exactly what is, or what was needed for this growth as a man./

•Understand that this stance taken to become an open book saved my family grief./

It saved my family burial arrangements and my children stories of me told in the past tense./

•This stance allows me to take the stand in life and stand excited about life as I remind you that life didn't beat me./

•I stand here with war wounds and scars as proof that this battle was hard fought./ the irony of it all was only my heart was lost./

•But that's a cost paid in a life made of sacrifice./Regret nothing! Stay humble! Remain focused and keep a mind that's open in order to live right./

•so yeah old friend, you were right. I agree that this dude's grooves were sad as shit./ filled with heart break and sorrow, but I love every bit of it,because without it, I would only take for granted this new me tomorrow./

I have a Dream Still

I HAVE A DREAM:

• I often view dreams as an extended version me./

I view them as my subconscious working diligently to consciously guide me in the direction of where my life is supposed to be./

•I see these scenes in IMAX 3D,HD with a view that's panaramic./

Paranormal activities seem to be nothing more than normal scare tactics./

•Used as an excuse to hold firm of reasons as to why you can't be./

Why you shouldn't be. Why you could never be,/

•and that's why you will always be destined to fail./

See,my ancestors sailed these seas blessed by the blood lines of kings and queens./

•so if, Harriet Tubman was able to lead those in which she freed minus the help of google maps and Siri,I know I can make it./

•if Dr.King managed to reach,/millions minus the help of Instagram or a tweet I, know I can make it./

•Understand that these dreams I now have,could have paved they way for those after me./ Strategically planning plots plotted deep in the soil planted by the hands of enriched guidance./

•Silent by the cries of those drowning in their own sorrow./ Thoughts pirated by negativity hijacking the transmission whose mission is to not lead us astray./

•See these dreams that we have modern day should be anchored by the ways of Of sister Betty Shabazz yet tailored by the finesse of a young Marvin Gay./

• On this day I dream. On this day I embrace the struggle brought about by this tug of war for my sanity./ on this day I dare to be happy by any means necessary staring out of a window armed heavily with hope one door down from Martin at the Loraine Hotel./ Yet I still dream!/
