DESIRE- Prey on the knowledge in the desert I seek- Taken for granted by the devil’s defeat- Pouring down gospel pray that I keep- My head from the sands and my feet from the reef- Snakes with the contracts trying to make you a lease- Golden pen in the hand-writing with ease- Perfection of a poem till the poems complete- Knowledge is the for front and the for front will lead- Disaster combination-Armageddon is peace- City of Angles- Agents **** dreams- Strolling on rooftops-Standing on beams- Heartache of heartbreak-I flow like a stream- Praying on mountain tops wanting to scream- Looking at my daughters-for their pulse is my beat- I have been through the darkness so my blood is my ink- No rest for the wicked- The good follow like sheep- Beating down barriers looking for me- Searching for the meaning never will be complete- Dreaded demons in this world- Can’t knock me down to my feet- My pen is the answer-bullets brittle with peace- Disciple poet problems pounding on me- I look to the limelight-security creeps- Desire for success- I desire to be- Me!
