I took the modem off the podium…

To be left at my doorstep,Now.Not tomorrow.I have yet to touch that dawn that comes.And remove those shadows of grief,That would have me believe I cast them!Send them back to attach,To whomever and where they came.Strap that fast to their backs.Open the door!And release my mind from its limitation!This I affirm!This…I demand!If I am here…

Living amongst those I was told to respect.With words untold…I also grew to respect.On their terms.Since the same turf we shared.Back then and during those times I yearned,To learn!But as I grew to understand from hard knocks.Like throwing rocks at children.And finding them and their parents…Coming to my folks,With not a smile on their faces!Not…

To do that for you.Even if I don’t appear that neat…I wanna be the one,You rush to speak to.I oh I…Gotta be the one you need.And I oh I…Gotta be the one you see,Could share with you eternity!Even if I can not sleep a wink…I wanna be the one,You wake from sleep to.Even if that…

To point out the obstacles on your path.You weren’t aware of them.They have been there.I have been in preparation to deal with them!I’ve dealt with my own first.That is how I recognize yours.I’ve been in touch.You insult me,By questioning my capabilities!Remember this…I came to you,To point out the obstacles on your path.The only thing I…

Smothering emotion.An embittered heart…Only stings with venom,To poison and freely give!Hatred is such a selfish thing!Leaving a deepened emptiness…To surface a sickness felt,And sharing with othersA saddened offering!That returns despair…To those believing,A thoughlessness hatred feltGets them somewhere!To find themselves surrounded,By others like them…Justified and processed equally,Into shallow thoughts uncaring!
