Two Things
Two Things
One Two
One punch Two punch
Three Four Five
Do you feel like One punch man
When you are live?
When your audition, your performance is on tour
What is your drive?
Sing, dance, walk, talk, it’s all on stage
And your mic is the box that resides within you body
And you have two options.
The effects will create friction or traction
You can vocalize, harmonize, initialize, capitalize
Life or Death
I’ll speak for myself when I say that I have realized to impact of
Beginnings and Ends
Starts and tied knots
To me these are the most important ropes
That we climb
That we concentrate on so hard just to leap over
Even I’m afraid of tripping a little bit
Because I know that the life that I live will coincide with the death I obtain
And how I die will determine the reward that is soon to be realized
I’m telling you this because I want you to know that the former
And its follower are all a cycle
But more so, life is found not only in the sound of blood flows and heart
Reaction but in social transaction and servant action
Life is not about longevity but of comradery and selfless accountability
This blood was instilled within our veins in order that we may
Release and shed it on another’s behalf
And I have found life. In every step I take
I find life out there
In every hand that I shake and every eye I meet
And it is in communication and passion that life is ignited
And this is why speak poetically via paper
This is why I play music
And if you know me, this is what you know about me
Pens, pencils, and ink
Cover this canvas.
Oil, metal, brass, nickel, copper, black keys, and white stripes
Encompass this can
Mixing and fine tuning to reveal various hues
And I wish most of all to color you inspired
And shade you empowered
That I am just a prototype
And I’ll be the Protoman to your Megaman
And with our Megaminds we will climb this Hill
Jonah’s Ark through the raging seas of the social flood
I wish to announce excellence to the young men and the young girls
I Spying for purpose and practices
And I’ve come from Death.
The grave is where I was born, torn from perfection
Only to be shipwrecked on the shore of my black culture changed by
Money and false advertisements
Only to be flung from a sling from a Goliath killer’s arm into the eye
Of an insurmountable giant on the top of a ivory tower
And the elephant in my room, in the privileged room, has been hunted for
Its ivory tusks
I’ve come from apathy, confusion, and complacency
Never would I have believed that I would place this candle
In the holster of wax holder
I’m telling you that it will be snuffed eventually
But before I return to my beginning
This fire will burn bright to light the way for anyone placed along my the walls of my tunnel
Death. I know what it’s like.
Not as well as others, but I recognize Death’s imprint
But who would I be without it?
What is the concept of life if not for death
What is right without wrong?
What would life and death be without God?
Without a purpose?
I’ll hand you the conclusion to this paper
To this work lies three subjects
Life. Death. Purpose.
One. Two. Three. Four.
I declare a cultural war
Five. Six. Seven. Eight.
Thrive on living. Don’t ever buckle under the weight.
