sunset is a bittersweet symphony

you play God
  manipulating variables
     eliminating constants
   making a mess of simple equations

paper floods with ink
  -mistakes that will eventually lead to a solution
but it's the journey that matters,
                                                        ­ right?
the reminder of why you hate math...
*it makes too much sense to comprehend
I was born to weigh heavy on your mind
my umbilical was lyrical live feed
inception was the spark
I been latent for too long
cruisin like Noah's ark
but I never chucked the deuces
just been patiently waiting to find my muses
next generation wake up
I heard they raised the stakes up
you feel the pressure
benchmarks been set
barometers there to measure
your progress
ingress
degression
can you feel it
expectations by the pound
you're drowning but is it real yet
concealed tech
he's got death at his hands
the sad part
lil' homie don't even understand
that a bullet's finality
teen homicide has become a normality
I'm on this verse tryna defy a mentality
I hope you heard
tryna defy a mentality
there's an election everyday
and you choose
     you choose
between contrary thoughts
and you win or lose
be it economy or health care
you can be on welfare
living offa food stamps
exploiting the help there's
like 12 million ways to live my man
choose one
that boy is suicidal dreaming of a shotgun
that girl is suicidal dreaming of a casket
I'm done counting sheep
my dreams is passed that

woke up in Brooklyn
still looking for Wonderland
skipping down the roads of Oz
chasing after Peter Pan
ingesting that fairy dust
climbing up the rabbit hole
nostalgia my drug of choice
I OD on the days of old

now slow it down for the days of new
I'm taking baby steps
scoping out a change of view
I'm a philanthropist
all I want is change for you
so keep the money for yourself
it's too much ado

He used you and abused you!

He swung from you budding boughs
And slept securely in your shade.
Then abandoned you for years somehow.
Sold your apples and spent the money he made.

He used you and abused you!

Cut off your branches to build his house.
Then chopped down your trunk to craft a boat.
Both times leaving you as lonely as a plagued mouse.
O' he returned, when his selfish ideas didn't float.

He used you and abused you!

Finally, all he could take was a rest.
You straightened so he could sit on your stump.
This was criminal and not stated in jest,
The metaphor said it all, when the last part you kissed was his ****!

He used you and abused you!
What was wrong with him?
More importantly, what was wrong with you?
This children's story always made me feel so bad for the tree. Though, most people read it as a happy story.      It doesn't have great flow, but I like the content.
