Poem
How magical it is to feel such a sad emotion I need ingredients to concoct a happiness potion Yesterday was not promised So today I refuse to think about tomorrow You want something from me? Borrow my sorrow It's like the moon blocks the sun Eclipsed by the cold Like frozen water we can't run But still they pick up a gun Prayers won't work, no disrespect to a nun Feel like a vampire All I see is blood Like the Devil rained on us his own version of the Great Flood Who should mop and sweep the mess on our streets Who pulls triggers more thugs or police I respect the constitution But despises murder, drug trade, prostitution To the streets I used to make a large contribution It comes full circle The retribuition We're like wolves, see a human, go into a rampage Innocent people die from stray bullet's rage After me you should follow To Fenger High School where Derrion Albert was killed on camera in Chicago Which is close to where I reside Seeing him die hurt inside Young people so animalistic Now the city is mad we lost the bid for 2016 olympics They worry about that more than hungry people I've never felt so unequal The last days are upon us I can't believe God put this burden on us But it's not his fault Fate flipped on us Did a somersault What would you do rather spend your last dollar on Food or your next high One can help you live, one can help you die This isn't about happiness It's about sadness Not about joy It's about madness It's so unfair We're drenched in dispair So badly stressed I'm 18 with gray hair This isn't about glory It's about greed I refuse to see another human bleed People go insane From fighting the pain I'm wondering who controls this death game Sometimes I feel doubt Sometimes I want out Cursed with a dry mouth I wanna go into space and drift further south Disgusted because the girl in California cornered by gang members who attacked Lost lives are like lost time, we won't get it back The aching in my head Resents senseless bloodshed Notice it's hard To find room in the graveyard So dark on Earth, lack of sunshine "Let there be light" Aren't those your words Lord Devine I'm okay with some rain, too much shine isn't so pleasant Too much sun and no rain forms a desert Too much cold lands us in the ice age So I warm the world with the words on this page Yesterday was not promised So today I refuse to think about tomorrow Want something from me? Borrow my sorrow
