JUST BECAUSE

Just because television is a bore writing a poem is less a chore I can live in a scribble where words soar Minds that ripple the universe forevermore Because I am envious of your style Yours is limitless like silver smile You are cool like a sculptured rock Turquoise jewel of classic hip hop Because I think too much all the time And want your attention is that a crime I have no privacy in my purple pages For ink bleeds are my sacrificial sages Because you are dark and I am light Within our red hearts we unite You build bridges despite dilemma and frown You lift others up when they are down Because you've been hungry you feed others Because not for religion but for the brothers You march to the beat of your own drum Because you do others are inspired to come You think outside the box You were born from classic rock Because there is music in your walk We all lose it when you talk Because your words can bring peace Like black bird with a song to sing Your ancestors were kings queens unique I love your swag and black destiny
