An architectural plan brought up my house,
Rooms,kitchen and wash room housed,
How came these white ant nests like leeches?,
Every room,kitchen and wash room nests,
Ant soldiers taken my plan to come up with their nests!
In this world of tangibility it has given me the architectural plan to build my world
So my foundation must be right as I have seen it with my own sight
And what I see with my exterior eyes has to be the truth
For it allows my tangible world to be right
Now all I do is focus my actions from with out to deal with the hurt from with in
My mind is now the CEO and has stop me from the right of accepting the life burning
within
From my world of tangibility I don’t know how to deal with the life with in
For it is intangible and I cant understand it as it does not fit with my life
Now I must think how to bring my hart up to speed
And stop my mind from being my CEO
Born an American
But i was raised multicultural
Ive ventured to many places
But this was the most historical.
An island all by itself by the name of Japan
With a make-up similar to an architectural plan
Where from a birds-eye resembled no ones land
Afraid of whether or not I'd land.
Once on my feet I begin to reminisce
On a life that I'd truly miss
In desperate search of a trustee
That whom was the same as me.
Mesmerized by the paintings that lay upon the walls
Aligned sightings of dragons holding crystal balls
Lady's dressed in golden Kimono robes
Tables set up with many different origami shows.
As I watched them eat it seemed like fancy tricks
For some odd reason they ate with sticks
With music that seemed like the Japanese Blues
It was then I noticed the mats that stated: "Please remove your shoes"
To me this seemed as something new
Something in North America I would not do
From that moment on I knew--
This was going to take some getting used to.
