(Thoughts in Motion)

Brother
Listen to me!
There is something I must say
To clear the air of any
Uncertainty that may or may not
Come between us
But first you must listen
To what I am about to
What I must say.
I have been hurt!!!!
Not once,
Not twice,
But many times over
And over again
Over the same B.S.---
Nothing!
Nothing lost
And certainly
Nothing gain
But time is standing still,
Motionless
Like a non-moving clock of time
Where there is movement at all.
Fighting.
For what ???
Nothing
Fighting over nothing
A piece of green paper
And a little white substance
That's controlling your every moment
Night and day.
Stupid fighting over
Nothing
While wasting time over
Nothing!
While children go hungry,
While mothers lose their children,
While young black men die in the streets,
While politics are usual
You fight over
Nothing!
Nothing lost
Nothing gained.
Lost
In a world that's endless
With a beginning
And yet there is no end.
Women selling their bodies
For a green piece of paper
While men make ***** deals
While others get one meal
And no three squares a day
Struggling
Striving
Everyday
Every moment there is there is time
And where time is no more.
I got something on my mind
To say not what anyone may think
it's on my ind to say
because it was heavy on my mind.
