Scene In Daze
Can’t keep my mind steady
Paranoid about where I’m headed
Asking me why I changed
I tried not to
But at the time
It seemed inevitable
Leaving spectators to judge my heart
Tell me was it credible
Rumors become curtesy of lynching’s
Secular thoughts
trapped in traditional dimensions
Trying to make it to a new year
Upon completion of duel semesters
But I can’t with draw from beefing
With these crooked city officials
Going through what I’m going through
I look to the future
And wonder how I’ll make it financially
My conscience is ignoring the thought
Leaving the reality of the subject
To answer me
I’m paying my taxes
Yet still in courtrooms
I’m awaiting legal faxes
Brutalized and feeling less than human
Thinking to myself, “I’ll stack my riches”
And in twenty years you’ll see a new man
Sleeping with a pistol
Awaking by every wind that whistles
it's become less considerable
to maintain a comfort at ease
Contemplating going to war against individuals
I know I can’t beat
But my refusal to allow them
To bring me to my knees
Has brought warmth to my shoulders and sleeves
Caught up in traffic can I escape detainment
It appears that I missed a court arraignment
Maybe it’s my suffering that you call entertainment
Got a phone call from a love
In Wisconsin, running in the snow
Said she was wondering how I was
Wishing me a happy new years
And wondering how things were going
In the open Monroe
She giggled and told me
She was reminiscing of us cuddled up
Snacking on cheese curdles
She laughed and said I miss you
I laughed and said
I see you still smile like an untouched pearl
