“She never planned for things to ever go that way,

if you think the system’s working, ask somebody who ain’t”

– Speech

Do you believe in God? Have you met your saints?
Have you seen the Sistine? Have you learned to paint?
Can you tell the world your story?
in short form or allegory?
can you do it in a way that ain’t gonna bore me?
can you keep up with a rap a day blog?
can you see your way thru this hazardous fog?
can you find the light, in the dead of night
that will bring your ship to shore, that will steer you right?
will you fold fast or put up a fight?
when it comes to your dreams, will you use your might?
will you stand in a rainstorm with your key tied to a kite?
See, it’s not up to Vision to give you sight
an artist is there to provide the light
that shines into our lifes
enough so we can create
the space
for the changes that we need to make

My Hero

to lift the weight long enough
for us to get from under it
the truth in a treasure isn’t when you plunder it
but the fleeting few moments when you first discover it
admire it’s beauty, then go ahead and re-cover it
so the next to come along can feel that they found
and have the same sense of encountering the profound
i know it’s just some know how mixed with some pro-nouns
but hopefully they have found a home now
in your heart and your head
or somewhere under your bed
kept safe to be let out the safe
when the life gets lonely and the night gets dead
and you won’t need a light to read the words you just read
they’ll shine by themselves
they will glow from the shelves
and hopefully you can find some heaven
while your climbing thru hell
