Poet 2 Poet
An ivory smile and eyes that GLOWED
His penetrating words reached my SOUL
A prophet, a poet but human all the SAME
So young and burdened with too much GAME
His work was an outlet to relieve the PAIN
The trials of his life overwhelmed his BRAIN
I saw the pain I suffered reflected in his EYES
I heard the words I felt come from his throat and RISE
Blessed with the knowledge that shoulda set us FREE
But the devil intervened so it could not BE
I know what it’s like, a side all bull ****
Not all good or bad causes inner CONFLICT
All these things I say hoping it’s not too LATE
To reach those others who I know can RELATE
And touch their souls like he came and touched MINE
Unlike your demise yo words came right on TIME
We miss u TUPAC
