Freddy Francois Poet I do not know?

Saved

The guy that talked a chubby boy such as I out of the fear of removing my shirt in the sight of 
others
The one that saved me  from the torture of  bullying from kids
The guy was a saint to me............. o man all the good deeds he did
Yes he was a friend
Until now where he began selling drugs that didn't help a body but led to its end
So we parted , Until times he tried to start a fight in which cases he usually later woke up in a 
daze
Then I'd cleverly exlpain to him that a fight goes both ways
He'd get in my face and say I got lucky and next time he'll bust a cap
I said "yo ur diaper is full so stop talkin so much crap"
But recently he asked me to aid him in his selling
And I began telling 
telling him I want no business in being a dealer
He said ok but then threatened me with a nine millimeter
I looked at the gun and then at him
Then thought of every instance I forgave him for every sin
And felt the betrayal of someone i once looked as kin
So I looked at him I said and I quote " Never take my kindness to be weak
Remember this as a promise not a threat
Take this lightly and your maker will be met
Remember my name but keep it off your tongue
Freddy Francois , man i'm done
cause you must be the worst to get me this pissed
Your a waste of breathe, your dismissed" And I continued to walk
He said ok then cocked his weapon removing the safety
I kept my fear to myself and said a swift prayer 
In preparation for the shot I filled my lungs with air 
And out of the blue
The men in blue then came to my rescue 
putting a bullet in his hand
And the destruction of his nerves accumalated from strand to strand
Out of relief i sighed
A bit of water drickled slowly from my duct down my eye
I looked up to the skies
and Did the sign of the cross 
and I swear I saw a dove pass by
You can not begin to feel the slight but still present fear
Because he is being released from jail today after half a year
This is the truth, the whole story from start to finish
But go ahead call me a liar, i dont care
Cause all I know
My life was saved after I said that prayer and took that deep breath,
because November 19 would've been the anniversary of my death
