Lessons

"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 ~A Poet Destroyer Collaboration~
