The moon lights the sky while cars past by
The trees blow in the wind
My stomach drops again
Building blocks block the clock Time stops
This distance hits me in an instant
Then my mind locks
Descriptive videos
Showing the funeral
Of all that is innocent
The ones that lived and died
Kind hearted minds
But once again were stopped in time
So a resistance to change the past
Won't last because the future won't come
Effort to persevere the present is persistent
So in a minute a month would have lasted
Because we can't me move forward
And we can't go backward
Our extortion of those who have
Abundant misfortune
Has finally found our worth
They've bought back their turf
Less than pennies we're worth
Our actions have hurt them
So our souls are worthless

A blank page is more then it seems
I deem this conundrum
Worthy of my dreams
This artist mind of mines
Spins twine elaborate thoughts combine
In this blank page I confide
Free from the feeling to hide
Judgement is mine
This blank page takes the time
To understand the riddle I write,
I ride this train of thought to the end
Something simple to begin
As this locomotive pushes forward
My motives coincide with my dreams
I award myself for assembling
This strategic scheme
From the bottom to the top
I designed these things
I'm not of this world,
I'm a higher being

Elevate to the 9th Degree
Thoughts fill the cloud
Then it rains out me
I fall through the air
Then drip down the leaf
Hits mother earth
Then bring life to a seed
Seeds of Revaluation
Seeds of Solution
In this day and age
These seeds are a nuisance
Words hit deaf ears and I fear
That death is near
Words of safety
Are words that plague me
I open my mouth
But they doubt
So they turn the other cheek
When I shout the truth
Wisdom is my sin
And if I lived it again
I would have did it again

Philosophers have out grown philosophy
So they set down their motions of peace
And pick up the mixtapes and cds
Of the artist that speak the truth
Tho, truthfully I believe,
Real artist can never become mainstream
Ideals of the underground
Shake the balance of the things
We watch on tv, Subliminal messages
and suggestive themes
I confess that I once was meshed
With the things they wanted me to be
Silent to world I had a voice but could not speak
Nothing special just a ***** from the streets
Had a lot of brains but lacked hope
So I became I refuge of anger and violence
A menace to society,
My hands seemed to find everything I need
My hope was stolen, So I stole whatever could fit in my jeans.
Misguided by the bad influence
As I grew I broke hold of the influence
Tho, still lived my life under the influence Sleepless nights, emotionless days
So I concocted a formula To make the pain go away
Let go of my anger Locked up my rage
Educated myself On matters of the new age
I found that’s nothing’s new
Besides the technology We’ve grown accustom to
People sale their souls
To get their face on the news
The media grabs their tongues Insolent fools,
Voices are silenced Or set to hide
When what they say Is what’s on their mind
The truth, Whispered to blind eyes
Now mentally I’m the Voltaire of this century
Learn your history I shall enlighten the
