The Reality of Life

to live is to learn and i have learned a lot
so everyday i am thankful for everything that i got
i thank god for everyday every breath that i breathe
for opening my eyes giving me a chance to see
another chance at life another chance to do right
another day to live to read between the lines
see reality for what it is
what it is is just that as real as it gets
learning to wear the shoe where ever it fits

Time Waits For Noone

time waits for noone
it never sits still
the clock is steady ticking
so do what you will
there is no time to waste
so you must spend it wise
now how will you see if you don't open your eyes
to see what is meant with the time that you have
take advantage of opportunity when it's within your grasp
so everyday is a chance until that day is done
but yet and still time waits  for noone

What Can I Do

What can I do? I often ask
What will I do? To complete this task
Everyday is a different experience
More time wasting away
Information being passed
Every hour of the day
Now what can I do with it
Just take it and run
Or do I take what I've learned
And share it with someone
Now what can we do
As people on earth
Use our responsibility for all it is worth
Teach our kids to be better than us
As well as be careful in whom u put trust
Not the government the world
The society we live
That's what we can do
That's what we can give
Show love and compassion
Not hatred and war
So to end this I ask
What is it really good for?

Dear Mary Jane

2 mary jane my girl,most times she's so green
different color hairs a spectacular scene
so uplifting so natural she means me no harm
she goes through problems with me,we weather the storms
we come 2 conclusions,she make me feel good
she won't judge or blow my buzz my point understood
me and mary don't argue,we just have a good time
she never trips when she with me never steps outta line
she brings me dead presidents,i don't have 2 ask
what a relationship we have!!!!!!

Freestyle Poetry

i am only as good as the material i write
i only reflect on the wrongs and the rights
the ills of society the world as a whole
my chance to make a change
and achieve my goals
since poetry is a passion i love it to death
it's not for the fame nor is it 4 wealth
it's 4 my personal satisfaction 4 the world 2 enjoy
2 get things off my chest 2 play with like a toy
as i get better with time every line so intense
with every line that i write leaves you deeper in suspense
each day is something new off the top of my head 
simply brilliant is the content of the poems u have read
this is freestyle poetry at least that's what i call it
my own style with a twist stayin true 2 my calling
the way i play with words i must say is so tight 
so 2 all a good day and the happiest of nights

My Hood Report

as i roam my city streets i hear gunshots rein 
i see junkies in search of crack it's an everyday thang.
standing on the corner begging for change at the store
chasin the first high they had once before.
gangbangers keep the hood hot with the foolishness they bring
most can't take the heat so to the feds they sing.
don't do the crime if you can't do the time
this is my report from these streets of mine.
from my eyes to the paper from the paper to the screen
this is my report of what i have seen.
police ride constantly through the hood in search of crooks
i guess i fit the description so at me they look.
harass me for no reason so they must let me go
should i act a fool this time i say no.
though i deal with problems of all sorts
i stuck to the topic which was my hood report.

Anotha

anotha day has ended so comes the next,anotha chance to make it happen anotha dollar to 
fetch, anotha bill to pay anotha problem to solve anotha break in technology to make the 
world evolve,anotha raise in taxes and the prices of gas they gamble on the market sit back 
and just laugh,yet still we all struggle in some kind of way whether it's keeping your job or a 
place to stay,either way it's anotha step as far as reaching your dreams don't judge a book 
by the cover till you read the pages between

After a Days Work

after a days work i am ready to 
unwind
drink a beer smoke a blunt just to 
ease my mind
to also put me in a mode to relieve 
my stress
and stay focused on my task which 
is being the best
sometimes i just chill and stay in the 
house
it depends on how i feel whether or 
not i'll go out
and be amongst friends as we paint 
the town
i don't have a clue as to what may 
go down
i just go with the flow and enjoy my 
life
after a days work it's my god given 
right
to kick up my feet and do as i please
it's up to me when i get off what i 
do with my cheese

So Goes One Mo Day

so goes one mo day as i watch the going on in my city,i adapt to the way of life and work with 
what God gimme.using my art to uplift and inspire through my words,some of the most insane 
poetry your ears have ever heard.how can i go wrong if it pleases my heart when i do it so it 
gets me through my day,so i must spend it wise as one mo goes by. so what will i do as one 
mo day goes by,i'll be doing something maybe writing a rhyme,that people will learn to 
enjoy over a period of time.so as one mo day goes by i'm trying to make it count,capture 
the ears of my viewers and listeners as well with every bounce,as one mo day goes by.

A God Given Gift

a god given gift is what you do best,a god given gift separates you from the rest.a god 
given gift can bring a smile to ones face,a god given gift might bring about understanding to 
the human race.my god given gift is the gift to write rhymes,so i exercise my gift each and 
every time.a god given gift can also be taken away,if you choose not to use it wisely at 
sometime throughout the day.
