"Lessons" 
By: Eric L. Boddie

My name is was, always has been, 
Strong, when it comes to a poetic pen 
My talent is deep, not ripped off a dictionary 
Straight from the street, pushing rhymes 
You can sit and soak behind my words 
Breathe in my light, it might do you right. --PD 

And that means I am will be 
I am the future you will see 
I will provide ink for your pen 
I will supply chills for your skin 
I will write my way into your heart 
I will erase any obstacle you may start 
Simply because I adore the mind 
God Trusted to you, it is great to intertwine --EB 

Baring it all, I have nothing to hide 
A long way in, a long way out 
Creating demons, jousting thy pen 
On any given night I will destroy the enemy --PD 

And before we leave, let's get one thing clear 
Our words will whip that ass for the inspiration of a tear.... EB
