Dear Dad
Jeremiah Vaughan Aug 2017
Where the ******* been

**** I don't know

Sitting here figuring out should write these notes

Should I trust god maybe not through all the pain, that I fought

I heard you got locked up in jail, because you were so thrilled

I thought I was your son but I guess not

You chose drugs over me that's what I thought

**** I even started smoking ****
to be just like you

That's all I ever ******* needed

You left before I was even born

**** that made me ****** torn

You couldn't even come see me

Because you where addicted to that green

You are a ******* loser

You left my mom

For some thots

Oh my ******* god

This makes me so mad

Because you got up and left

I just want to put a plastic bag And pull a trigger on your ******* head

She was only 14, you got her pregnant when she wasn't really a teen

I don't ever want to meet you now

Your nothing to me now

I bet your lab blew up

But you didn't and that's what *****

You're in jail trying to bust a nut

To all the guys in there

That's trying to ****

You don't know what my momma been through

Taking 7 years to go to school

Waking up every morning to a crying baby

Making me sandwiches, she couldn't be lazy
she was only 15 when he had me

My grandma and grandpa was next to her on the daily

Putting me through school when I was so lazy

And focused on that *****

Now it's time for me to grow up

This song is me trying to be tough

This is me speaking the truth

Because you are so rude

Im over here reminiscing

About what I'm missing

Now its time for me to go home and start the mission.

I was having a baby on my own

and I wasnt going to leave them alone

It was my choice

and ill stick to it

because because we gotta get through it

we gotta fight and we gotta make it

even if its putting all my money on it

Holiness
Jeremiah Vaughan Aug 2017
Holiness, Holiness is denoting a Christian renewal among Methodists in the US,

emphasizing the Wesleyan doctrine

Holiness, The word "holy," in contemporary thinking, is closely akin to the term "nerd" which our children use.

Holiness, "For I say to you, that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall not enter the kingdom of heaven"

Now Holiness means a lot but Holiness is not and can never be ankle-length skirts, purity rings, or immersion in Christian media to try to fight against the world.

Now you thought you had me didn't you?

You thought you had the answers

Jesus said it himself And so I will show my greatness and my holiness, and I will make myself known in the sight of many nations. Then they will know that I am the Lord.

Black or White
Jeremiah Vaughan Aug 2017
Black and White

I am white

or am I Black?

what really confines that?

should I vote for Donald Trump, or Hillary Clinton

but the question is what really am I missing?

Should we build a wall and kick all the Mexicans out?

or what about isis? tell me, Do you think its right for them to **** the Americans?

We are home of the free, the land that will be

fighting for our safety and the right to flee

if I cannot walk outside without getting shot

then I might as well not walk up the block

African Americans say black lifes matter

but dont all lifes matter?

You complain about the KKK but what about the black panthers? are these really answers?

cant we all just get along? before we all die alone? This isn't about racism this is about fact

you cant delete history but you try that

you vandalize national monuments in hope to spread the word but all your doing is looking absurd.

Im not singling out anyone

even what the whites have done

with their tiki torches held up high

thinking that can get by

chanting chanting chanting words of disgust

one day they will all give up

Athiest
Jeremiah Vaughan Aug 2017
Atheist, Atheist, Atheist now what does that mean?

you see that's someone who doesn't believe in god

you can say I'm caught up in the middle

See, is there a god, or is there not

I've never see this so call god

You say he's here, so where is he

he doesn't show his face to me?

you can say this is a poem

but I say this is a story

so, let's cut to the chase, shall we?

See I believe there is someone but then again, I don't

There is people all around us slitting their throat's

I have died 3 times let's not mention the rest

All those years sitting in those hospital beds

Treatment after treatment everyday

See god wouldn't treat me that way

I've seen to many people died from shootings

Why would he want that, now will he?

Sometimes I think if he's playing tricks on us

Like one day they will all wake up

Bottle after bottle drowning in my sorrows

Thinking to myself is there going to be a tomorrow?

You say this so-called god broke out of a tomb

With rocks and rocks piled up high trapped in like a womb

See that's hard to believe when your someone like me

you think and think and think how the world became one, this stuff here couldn't just evolve like the sun

People say this tattoo on my arm is the devil

What if it was, is that against the bible?

Does it really matter

If it was against the Bible?

Now my work here is done

Im gonna go get more work done

If I go to hell thats okay

Because I'll be there with all the gays

Let's not forget the *** smokers

Just because they are tokers

I'm done here

So let me grab a beer

Oh wait and kick you in the rear

please let me inside

let me be by your side

I cant do it alone

I need you god

I don't want to be alone

Sacrifice
Jeremiah Vaughan Aug 2017
Sacrifice

NO! Sac-ri-****

See the different between me and you

Is nothing less

I can make a sacrifice about life or death

I don't go to church

nor pray about situations

but I do believe in god

and live for his salvation

I might not do anything right

But I don't have to

I can throw away the pill bottle

Or even that Advil

Pop a couple in the morning or even at night

Like **** is this right?

I threw it all away

And stopped all the smoking

but one thing is

I will live for Jesus and people.
Jeremiah Vaughan Aug 2017
God said one time that he was done

now he sacrificed it all for his sons

he also told us that he loved us

See I'm a believer, but I don't go to church

they don't get it it really hurts

to go to church

then commit a sin

like *** that's really big

I don't get it

please help me in

before I go

and commit a sin

all I wanna do is smoke **** and rap

be free live life and also give some advice

grab my pipe and my bag

but see they call gay people ****?

god said he would forgive but I don't see that

he tells us to not judge people but then he does that

I'm told I shouldn't have gay friends

who are you to tell me who I should let in

now this is the end of my poem

so here is some advice

turn around and go home

College
Jeremiah Vaughan Aug 2017
It's hard

It really is

The college life isn't so bad

The party's

the drinks

oh, and the ****

while I'm getting drunks at night

and high during the day

my grades are struggling

day by day

I bring them up

Then they go down

Like c'mon man

What's that frown?

I started at the bottom

I will make it to the top

Oh yeah one last thing

Don't tell me to stop

Religion or Truth?
Jeremiah Vaughan Aug 2017
Religion or Truth?

Is it real?

God said he did

No he said it was done

He died on the cross

for his son?

I am taught, to always do right

see this isn't right

I'm told to push the people in my life away

because they might be gay

God doesn't want that

He wants to state the true facts

Maybe they aren't true

because he says I cant be with you?

should I listen or should I not

I'm going to listen to myself

because that's all I got

Life...
Jeremiah Vaughan Aug 2017
Life is a box of chocolates they are sometimes sweet, and good inside.
Life is riding a bike to keep your balance you must keep moving.
Everyone wants to be happy, nobody wants to be in pain, but you can not have a rainbow, without any rain.
Life is a roller coaster, you can either scream, every time you hit a bump, or you can throw your hands up in the air and enjoy it.
Problems are like machines, they twist around but after they can be clean.
When life puts you in tough situations don't say why me? say try me.
Sometimes you just gotta fight through things even when it gets hard.
Don't lets people put you down,
Turn to god he will lead you.
Life is underwear, they change all the time.
Life is a car, theirs cheap one, expensive ones, and even broken ones.
life is a phone, they break easy.

— The End —
