That Man!

Never been the one to fight 

Some call my bluff and get 

hit with a rude awakening 

But still I enjoy peace 

But if I can't have it , 

the piece of steel you might feel. 

Never been the one to fight 

Slashing is so messy...So face it; 

I'll do you and get it over wit..quickly. 

Feel me..I'm top-notch'! 

Never been the one to talk much 

just write down my feeling before 

I go to killing. However, I watch and 

wait. That bone is in my body. 

Can you dig it my brothers & sisters? 

Don't get me wrong or I'll correct you, 

without hesitation...because I always try 

to be a gentleman, before I go, keep this 

in mind: The man in the mirror is me. 

Your last breath, your last write,

your last sight...How's that???
