Your Greatest Creation

this is how I am blazing
life goes through fazes
everyone around purple hazing
customers around me grazing
hoping that I am slanging
reality is amazing
so many could be craving
my life ever changing

where I lay my head is my home
internally alone
people all around
constantly calling my phone
buffing my chrome
none of it changes the fact 
that nobody is home
or my activities are condoned

god what am i doing
my life is in ruins
money in pocket
but heart still bruisin
life just a crusin
never to stop and take in
the ruins
life is so amusin'

I gotta know why
why we live and die
where my heart lie
before I die
I will constantly try
to fight temptation
and live my life, why?
cause you want me to reach real high.

in your creation
is our relation
so the elevation
is a revelation
that I must bring to creation
I know it will be hard facing
the man and his temptation
but in me you trust, 
your greatest creation

What Do You See?

I look at my brother and what do I see?
I see big cheeks and a jolly smile
Innocence and curiosity tammed and wild
I see a strong man to be
one that could rewrite all the books of history
I see a stature so grand in scale
that he could build a empire as large as the grandest tale
I see strength, convicition along with unmeasurable compassion
but if crossed a fury that resides that would make mighy men come down 
crashing
I see a man that will love his kids and wife
he will rule with a pen, and a double edged knife
When I look at my Brother I see a king
One who I would be glad to kneel before My brother's keeper I sing
I love him because I know he loves me
but more importantly he loves the world you see

My job is too never let that go away,
my job is too make him remember who and what we are every day
We are kings and queens, but sometimes we forget we have that trait
Cleopatra, nefertiti, Hannibal, Tutankamun, and Ramses (the Great)
It is time to remember that before it is too late

When you look at your Brother what do you see?
Hopefully you see what I see, A king to be.
