Poem Title:
Poem
I was chosen before my time. Listen very close this is not just a rhyme. My life was known before I was born yet, Time had to come around the horn. Now I am here with a job to do, Part of my job is to watch over you. Yes I am a keeper and I must be kept, For another brother’s died while I have slept. The poison metal pipes are going around, Flowing in, flowing out and all around town. Earning a day’s wages and still in need, Then the poison metal pipes help kill a seed. We’ve been accused for doing most of the wrong, And if we’re not careful, we’ll believe all the long. In the midst of it all, others round about me fall, STILL, I am destined to answer my call. My call is from above to both young and old, So what I am telling you, I am only being told. By one most know of, and they may know OF Him well, But its not enough to know of, THAT’S THE REASON WHY OTHERS FELL!!! You see I owe you as a brother, and I owe Him as a Father So I am here for Him, and there’s really no bother. I will do what I’ve been destined to, this I know is right. During the morning, during the evening, and into the night. I’ve been called, picked out, with a mission ahead. And if you don’t take heed, you may wind up dead. You see, dead is being more than without a beat, It is also being held under another’s feet. Not thinking for yourself, influenced by the WRONG others, Persuaded by some BOYS, and then, becoming mothers. Not following the wisdom of our parents from old, Not wanting to take heed to what we are told. We are leaders by nature and We can’t help this, Still the way some of us are leading, Others will never reach this bliss. You can not be a leader less you have someone to follow, But whom can you lead, the strong or the hollow. We do not have long in this earthly place, Yet its not about the color, the gender or the race. Its about being a soldier and the chain of command, The torch has now been put into my own hands. You see they’re many torches, all in the hands of the same, Strong minds, strong willed with the backup of “THE NAME” The end is soon to come so I must go now, But you have already been chosen for right here and now. You are the next leaders, I would give it some thought, Because you have not only been “CHOSEN”, but; You’ve also been BOUGHT !!!
