Today
Seven gun shots, three of them taken by me!
Now and forever, I sit permanently here in this uniquely customized chair today.
I can't feel ****, I'm paralyzed from my hips down to my toes today.
If I could somehow miraculously go back in the day, today.
I'd take back all my thuggish ways and glamorous days and gladly walk rite back here
with you today.
It saddens me to know though that the truth is if we went back in the day, today and
you explained to me my life's situation today.
I would have told you to go to hell, I can live no other way today.
Seven gun shots, three taken and all of them could have been avoided by me!

this poem's message can be heard in infinity different ways
(YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU GOT UNTIL IT'S GONE)
* (KNOWLEDGE is POWER) & I'm just a pawn with a vision to someday be KING *
even a bum can teach us something *
