My Last Supper Pg1

Sittin here with a plate of food 
in front of me.
holding a picture in my mind of 
the last supper floating off haze 
my mind begin to go into deep 
thought.
sitting with a full plate of food 
in front of me
yet trying to feed myself food 
of knowledge meanwhile ,trying 
to avoid digesting from the tree 
of Eden 
yet its tempting when the only 
thing surrounding me is snakes.
 heisting in my ear waiting on 
me to enter their trap.
tho the temptations are 
tempting, i try to ignore the 
heisting 
it's getting ignoring the fruit are 
coming off the tree and their 
pouring 
now I'm trying to avoid the fruit 
of knowledge.
I see why eve was under so 
much pressure. 
See eve had a lack of 
knowledge.
she wasn't aware of the devil. 
Took a bite out of the apple 
thinking god wont find out ever
then gave Adam some  so he 
could feel the same way 
this is the same thing we do 
today.
we try something new and want 
our love one to do it too. 
Too much knowledge have you 
in a situation as Adam and Eve.
  A lack of knowledge have you 
chasing other people dreams . 
Following the leader when the  
leader hemself is lost 
Me I'm trying to stay focus 
watching what I digest. 
my circle is gettin smaller with 
the people that I trust 
meanwhile I'm trying to keep 
beliving myself  
at any given time I'm not sure 
wat I'm capable of
I just pray a individual don't 
test me
I can barely  pass the test god 
give me 
yet pass the test man put up 
against me 
my glass is so full but it feels so 
empty 
sitting here with a full plate of 
food in front of me.
thinking about the  last supper 
fork on the table 
I'm rubbing my knuckles
 going into deep thought 
cant remember much of what I was taught 
was I taught?
seem like I educated myself
 Moma wasn't around 
daddy was incarcerated before going in 
the police put the gun 
to my face and the house was 
raided .
there, I didn't really care about education 
I just had to try to live and make it.
I didn't care about the consequences or temptations.
I smoke marijuana, just to ignore everything I was facing.
skipping school.
I was smoking not to be cool but to get high for the moment 
and forget get about the bad 
moments. 
like begin raped abandon and 
homeless.
 I was facing life but I was 
declared freedom.
where was everyone when I 
needed them.
I used to cry wondering if god 
hear my cries some nights I 
even prayed that god take me 
to sky
