A Modern Gangster

7/12/02



A Modern gangster’s life isn’t always strapping a tech nine.
 Or a drug deal gone bad, sometimes you gotta walk the straight and narrow. 
Walk a thin line.
It’s the lyrics, words of the heart, livin life where you come from 
is the start.
Fancy cars, the bling, bling, girls wit lotta back natures been good to them, nothing do
they lack.
It’s part of what livin in the ghetto brings, chillin in the street
That’s bout what the life a modern gangster sings.	
Thirteen years shiftin through life to greet, thank God Almighty for survival tactics
happy to see sixteen.
Lord knows college is where me and my homey’s should meet.
Never understood the old fashion way, and I still don’t today.
Thank you momma for takin me to church to learn the word, and how to pray.
Had to, couldn’t get away.
A modern gangster life is where you’re reborn, grow up fast now my child is conceived, and
I’m half way torn.
I never wanted to know what goes on outside the hood, not thinking bout my future like I
know I should.
Every night pray to God, bout this tragedy, this mishap but statistically society won’t
believe in me.
The one thing I’m sure of and I know I will, raise my shortie and continue to pay my bills.
Look for closure and someday move out the hood with my modern gangster mentally corrupting
me still.
I’ll stay a modern gangster cause of where I breathed and lived, cause I love where I’m
from and I want to give, back to the foundation where I could’ve continued live. Sharin
the love plastered in my heart deeply for my life and my homey’s to divide. 
Won’t stop now that I’m on my way, will continue with my debt
For a modern gangster’s life is where I’ll neva stray.

My Bucephalus

I did once find this incredible little mare
When I was ready in life and knew
she was ready for me.
Somehow I was drawn to a place in the South,
Not to find a horse, but to get away from "it all"
to enjoy nature in the fall. The scenery of
orange, yellow and all changing leaves.

To this small little horse farm my husband
and I went
To camp, ride horses and enjoy time spent
Then I saw her and knew right then my life had changed
I was sent Mon Ami in my path by some divine fate
so strange.

Ahh, my two year old, I bought her that day
and had to arrange a ride to me states far away
When she finally came, yes- she was mine!
A prayer answered after so much time.
We began to ingest one anothers soul
through life's breath and many a long stroll.

Oh- no life without my Mon Ami-

At three, we began the reign of riding and glee
A decision to make her an endurance horse
was my goal- and to compete for so may miles
certainly did make her "smile"!
Though diversity is the key, we focus on
obliterating opponents at super long
distance... winning always in the top three

Little bay mare, half Arabian and half Morgan
Has shown me she has more heart than any horse
I have ever rode, owned, or with since parted.
A special bond occurs between woman and horse
when they spend thousands of hours in the saddle
riding the course.
Superb at anything she has the will-
but even if she were crippled, forever 
we'll be together still.

Oh my Mon Ami, you are my desire, my energy
to see you everyday, running about at play
there is no sight more beautiful on this planet
to me
Than my beloved little mare, Mon Ami.

Follow Your Heart

When we compromise what we know to be right,
We may as well throw in the towel, cause we’ve already lost the fight.
When we lay aside our morals we open many unseen doors,
Doors that lay hidden in darkness that were not visible before.

It takes so little to change our fate, to fall deep into the devils abyss,
That is why we have to be vigilant to avoid all wrongful temptations at all cost avoid the evil ones kiss.
It always starts out, try it, it ain’t going to hurt you,
Like bait on a hook, one bite, and your life could be through.

The devil knows our every weakness and that is what makes him so strong,
And he will do everything in his power to keep you from hearing God’s word and being where you belong.
He will fill your mind full of lies and scramble your every good thought,
He is ruthless and cunning and he knows that Jesus paid for our salvation, and on that cross our salvation was bought.

The devil is an illusionist that uses deceit to lure us to his lair,
Trying to lead us astray with twisted thoughts that mask the sign BEWARE!
While God has left instructions that guide our daily walk,
That those who seek salvation to Him they must earnestly talk.

God never tries to trick us and leaves all choices in our hands,
Of which roads we choose to travel and He makes it clear so all can understand.
God is the light at the end of the tunnel, your life raft in those storms,
With love and mercy shown us as He holds us to His bosom and cradles us in His arms.

Free Will

Don’t let me fall again from this high tree I’m trying to climb
Scars and bruises don’t hurt me more than heartache
The people on the ground direct me on which branch I have to follow
But something is telling not, is it my ego or my heart I barely know
It says that life is a path, follow your heart 
And it’ll take you where you’re supposed to go
Others think I may be too quiet when life is too frightening to be too calm
But what if you haven’t found what you are looking for 
And this age might not friendly enough to wait
I keep my visions to myself while others want to interfere 
This dreams I’m willing to live even it’ll take a whole life to make it true
I surrender myself just to make it mine, choosing life I’m ready to follow
And if you asked me what will I do in the next day
I will let the wind to guide me and let my heart ignite my way
My faith is faded away most of everyday and I give up so easily
Decisions come along the way and it’s puzzling me
Reality bites but hope is allowed to let us stand in the solid ground
Maybe my life is in the other side of the world only heaven can tell
This life is beautiful no matter how sad it might be
And in my prayer nothing but gratefulness I can utter
Under this skin and body there is a broken soul
Trying to know my own heart and struggling to figure out my life 
Where to go and how to build courage all by myself
I only believe in one thing and let faith guide me to acknowledge

Confused

I am so confused I do not know what to do 
my head is spinning and all that I seem to think of is the family and you
There are so many things that happen in life but I am learning that no matter what I will
be the one to try to make things right I have been wrong in the past but I know that I
have changed and I just wish that you could understand people make mistakes and no one is
perfect I of all people can say that life never goes the way you think there is always
going to be something that you need to over come and try to get past to get to what you
want and need in life the things that I say come from the heart and I feel that with out
some things my life would fall apart so I see it as no matter what you say or do in life
to try to get through always remember that it will never be easy and to keep on pushing
through cause if you want something bad enough you will do what it takes to get it being
confused is a very difficult thing and there seems to be a never ending road and you feel
as if the whole world is on your plate and there is no way to turn just remember there is
a light some where at the end of the tunnel and i for one can say it is far from easy this
is for everyone that feels like there is no way to turn just keep your head up and think
of the good things that you have going on and try to get past all the drama it is not
worth the effort to let your self be down

We Were Alone

I follow the stars, the moon and the sun, touch you through the winds wings 

I love in a place you can not follow me, not yet, one day you will come

Precious moments soaked in the rivers of pain, falling like rain upon the ground of a
concrete reality

Why does the life entwine and die among-st the lies? the truth carries her sword to defend
against the warriors of the non believers.

My words struggle to tell the story of my broken heart, but when my life is over, when the
last breath leaves these lips, I will leave saying your name.

I put myself on the stage, performing my agony to the delight of the bitter and twisted,
but I cry to all "I loved".

I hid behind the veil of fear, you tore the drapes down as the light shone through, I love
in a place where there are no questions

I die with this scar on my heart, I leave taking the memory with me, returning one day to
claim my rightful place.

I love you in a place where time and space reign with silent admiration, in front of the
crowds, we were alone.

A traveler with no place to rest my head, until I found you, as the last tear escapes my
weary eyes, I die in your arms.

I love you in a place where theres no ending, when you're life is over I will be waiting
on Love's plane.

                                 Where we're alone, I will be waiting for you.

and by doing that im going to be me
im going to try to stay positive all the time

I know it wont happen but at least im trying....

im going to focus on myself


marriage can wait
kids can wait
but poetry makes me happy
so im going to be into it as much as possible

ill stress about it

Eden

Dedicate thy life to me, mine given unto thou

Fragrant is the fruit of love, from Eden's laden bough

Into the garden entered we, one man, one woman unite

The serpent tempting apple red, that she may take a bite

Dedicate thy life to me, mine given unto thou

Fragrant is the fruit of love, from Eden's laden bough

Decline the call from silver tongues, of promises made of lies

Keep unto truth our garden green, with innocent hazel eyes

Dedicate thy life to me, mine given unto thou

Fragrant is the fruit of love, from Eden's laden bough

Take this breath I offer you, the breeze of love to know

And I shall stay beside you child, as we dance cheek to cheek real slow

Fragrant is the fruit of love, from Eden's laden bough

Dedicate thy life to me, mine given unto thou

The serpent tempting apple red, that she may take a bite

Into the garden entered we, one man, one woman unite

Keep unto truth our garden green, with innocent hazel eyes

Decline the call from silver tongues, of promises made of lies

And I shall stay beside you child, as we dance cheek to cheek real slow

Take this breath I offer you, the breeze of love to know

Fragrant is the fruit of love, mine given unto thou

Dedicate thy life to me, from Eden's laden bough

Between You and Him

he has conveyed at times that life has disappointed him without saying it in words

he longs for more than an ordinary life and a wife who does what he says

no need for the little thrills and flourishes and warmth one would perfer to offer

his  spouse is a taboo subject most of the time until he brings it up

their lives are centered in different worlds as they have become virtual strangers

his entire life seemed to be a peeling-off process

no one was entering everyone ws exiting his own life seemed to devour him
                                      
                                          it was unsalvagable

he was momumentally depressed but felt a need to go to confession

 

there was a knot of angst in his stomach but at the same time he had a lighter heart

                                   and a clearer head

                    he felt human again no longer did he feel powerless and defenseless

what was it what had happened it was like he caught his second wind

         look up look around you He's there He's everywhere the powers in us all

all it takes is a personal phone call to Him and a forgiveness of sins to make us feel whole 

                                                       again
