"I WAS NEVER ALONE"

Wed, 08/27/2014 - 16:02 -- DeWren

Until I was born,I was never alone,
March 1965,now we can vote!?Blacks being killed daily through a racist built off our backs system, we had to be strong.
I could blame the white man ,being the greedy,and privileged,I could blame my dad,mom,and I do cause that's my reality,
just like I blame myself,for falling into to the same reality.
My daddy wasn't no daddy and mama had another do nothing ass man,now u see?
So nobody ask,are really,truly gave a damn about me.
Now that I'm older and wiser,I see more and it's still much of the same,
but I still love hard and strong,even my enemies,I won't name.
How people act about money if a shame,fifteen minutes of fame,reality shows insane.
If I didn't find God,who already knew I was looking,I would be,that is insane!
Then you realize after many trials,like everybody else it's about choice,
u chose to love,good r bad,there's a reason behind the voice,called experience.
It's better to have never sinned,but it began at the tree of life,
at fourtynine still looking for the kinda love to make me wife.
