your eyes.
how do they see me?
not as a select few see me.
the eyes you see me with.
hostility in those eyes.
hostility.
anger.
grudgeful eyes.
i hear the grudge.
the grudge in your words.
why cant you see me?
see me with their eyes?
see me with love.
with happiness.
with support.
i see none of that.
none of that in your eyes.
i beg you.
see me with different eyes.
eyes like those.
those select few see me.
my final plee.
i beg you.
change your eyes.

What the real really
many cry for a meal feel me
In this world as ice
In any weather whether whatever
Feelings are put away
For another day
Priorities and Responsibilities
Yet what can I say
We all got to eat
Adverse on the street
At first it is said no repeat
I stand tall on my feet
cause I will not comprehend the word defeat
Come on Now what the real really
Many ancestors suffered for the liberty
of Expression and all they did was cause our aggression
Made it feel like there were no purpose
steal our ideas make us feel worthless
Well let me tell you this
I can not be grudgeful but something
got to give cause compensation is
needed for us to live
The wages to minumum
and the sentences too maximum
So somebody got to find
a way to turn this dirt into platinum
Not ungrateful yet disappointed
that it takes so many years to get issues appointed
