2013.10.25

raised on words of Jesus's bible

given examples to follow from street bible

people in fancy clothes and houses

we were the joneses

the Lords word flowed like spit

with hearts black and cold like real street gangster

raised with loyalty to i am my brothers keeper

together we die

together we ride

together we carry the cross

knew no other way and i believed it to be righteous, the path

joke was on me

what a fool i was

i truly believed, " i am my brothers keeper and they were mine"

believed with my life, soul, blood and, heart

i believed, i believed

walked straight into a trap

was lucky when i fell

i fell on my knees

God carried me out of the misty,cold, dark woods

psalm 23, hallelujah

 

now i have been blamen daddy for this drama

lets for once put blame were blame belongs

both papa and mamma had mothers, both alive and well

he matriarch of each family

they stood and watch as i was fed to wolves

torn apart i was left to die

of course they had to wait for mamma to die

11/01/2013 God caled her home and open season was declared

God, I never knew i was the trophy

 

2 years later

i have succeeded in leaving behind the street life

still got mammas husband

a father who love his daughter, but a love i can't take to the bank

i finally got to know the author of the bible and know i'm not alone

i realise in silent moments, to my despair

i may not have made mamma proud

i dropped the code

and i am no longer my brothers keeper

pray for me

please
