Poem
Here's a little story that needs to be heard about an old couple who lived in the hood firecrackers blazing outside there window pane folks had insisted the couple was insane take heed to the reader as best as you can the old Oscar man had a definite plan fine capabilities blown up in desire would play his Sly & Family Stone song, "Want to take you higher":. his wife was a clean freak wanted everything neat & tidy at night the old man used to show her his hyney nothing phony when they were both broke with no money they made a journey to O.T.B trying to get the honey in time they would both shine like an ivory tower busting moves even if they had a hip replacement yet this story gets deeper then ever before when in a drive by the struck old man Oscar in the left eye now they must confess that some of life was a great test they then spent most of their time huddled inside no more painting the town and shooting pool they lived by a different type of rule folks we need to take it all in let me begin yesterday was such a simple game they used to play awe but then let's face it its easier today you can always occupy your time with a fine wine, dine & sixty nine kick it to the curb as if you have heard those sensational voices with choices never did the old couple grow apart even when the old man let out a fart it was a brand new start when he got shot made that homeboy think a lot invested his time with love seeking a new vibration together they both his the golden age of 100 it isn't any wonder all those sweet thoughts that they discovered many folks today like to work undercover rather then to discover love was the essence of their meager existence let's learn to shun each resistance at every circumstance we can all learn to take part in the dance with second chances that your higher power advances so the moral of the story is love in a song it advanced Rodney King's philosophy, "Can't we all just get along" ? Like Slick Rick I like to tell a nice story so why I even worry.
