Future Past

Basketball was my sisters 
I love her for the years of blisters
If i could again...i would 
This time i would be persistent that nothing is too distant
My eyes squeamish for times winds grazing face
Haven't time to Marvel
Long for decades lost loves
My youthful eye sparkle
Sheepish eyes caused by high brows
If only i knew then what i reminisce bout now

Pushing towards goals
Imagining the score
There was a time i was never more
Than a man that swore
Years before i was this mature 
In fact the pact was to just be more
My hand lowered by life's war
And i did not look wisely
Opening  the wrong door
I see duality in this reality
Should i be here naturally
Has the devil flipped my pact on me
To ensure adverse failing
Multi headed snake of adversity
Thirsty for the worst of me

So to my loins strawberry
My sweet
With my feet
Will always be my cherry
On top of this world
Not aspiring for the telly
Want to be the CEO
Thinking back on images i see me grow
As you the same
Many stories yet to show 


Do not follow me and act content
Times better unspent
Clock hands scary never late... always dared me
This world has your name all over it 
Really
Fill your belly
Move with a taste of haste... my child you was born ready
