Spiritual Warfare

They say the eyes are the gateway to your soul Revealing the dark side of my inner man Constant contrast deep inside of me I’m ready to release the beast This world is not big enough to contain my presence My energy is drained when people want to claim to understand my lonely walk in this so- called life I live Control is what they truly want to own Enslaving the very essence, beauty, creativity that they were drawn to in the beginning I’ll revert back to my ancestors and start a revolution on them Denying them of the pleasure to capture my spirit I arm myself with my automatic weapon, grenades and my shield Reciting my mantra “though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil” Ears ringing, my heart singing my precursors song “way in the water” Bullets are tearing my enemies in half Mutilated bodies are multiplying Afraid of turning around to count my glorious victory My arms are heavy Broken glass shattered around I hear a familiar voice crying It is me my inner man
