To the buddy staring at me on the wall This is an appraisal to keep you up Wow; it’s been long you’ve been on this work It’s been Nine years since you sat upon the rock Sitting there taking stock; of things of this world And things of the next. In form of written text At first into music But never make it; even with deuces You’ve got a poet’s heart since you were young A brilliant brain with a musical tongue A god with the words Whose wordplay is the sword that fights against his odd? You’re exceptional among every men The written word delivered by your pen Lives on forever in the heart Of those who've read; to never part. You ran the race with no disgrace Inspired others to take their place They are meant to lead their race You hype their morale to the core Assuring them they’d make it to the shore As long as they d’ believe; to heck with the red sea And so you fill the hearts of all you’ve see.
