Liberté, égalité, fraternité.
L’ homme est né libre,
Pourtant partout il est enchaîné.
An eternally torturous question,
Oozing out of our minds like an infection;
Are we all equal?

Perhaps not when it comes to skill;
Some can lead, some can thrill.
Some can cook, and therefore feed;
Some can run, some can read.
All of us can do something –
No standardised test,
No uniformly assigned competition
Could ever possibly measure
This unique treasure,
The human ability to set off on an endeavour
And achieve astounding feats.

So, then –
Are we born equally endowed?
Perhaps not; should differential talents
Be stimulated, encouraged,
Voiced aloud?

A resounding yes, a thousand times yes!
We should only accept being under duress
When of forced labour and working to exist
We start hearing less and less,
When that concerted effort is directed
Not at striving at surviving
But at truly living, not just slowly dying.

Truly living is about doing what you love,
Being able and free to do so,
Learning that which you don’t know
And expanding that which you do know.
This is not our reality –
We are all born exactly the same,
Yet the country you were born in
Hell, even your family’s name,
Are things that determine
Where you will be positioned
In this foul, ***** game.

This is where we aren’t born equal –
In our right and access
To freely engage in the pursuit of happiness.
There is a seedling of potential in all of us,
One that can be grown –
Let it be known
That all seedlings can become a mighty tree,
If given the following three:
A space in which a fertile mind can be cultivated,
A community in which love can be propagated,
And the freedom to exist without being incarcerated.

Dear god,
Who art in ever,

Hallowed be thy bud,

thy grass and shrub,

On earth as it burns in heaven.

Give us this day our daily succ

and forgive us our sins,

as we revel in the sins that made us.

And lead us not into Asymmetry.

But deliver us like parcels
For thine is the wisdom,
and the timeless,
and the gorgeous forever.

Amen.

Do you get nervous everywhere you walk?
Do you get nervous when the light comes down?

Do you have problems in your hometown that your family couldn't
fathom , But would love to keep you around?

Are there troubles that would make you or break you?
You don't know the conditions of my past , so don't have any right
to doubt too.

I say the reasons why my heart stays frozen cause emotions won't
be triggered by my body heat to create a thing called love.
You could make your own purpose , I'm not trying to get in the way.
But If I leave and never come back just know that I'm not here to stay,
I don't wanna be your friend,
I don't wanna teach ya, just to get a piece of knowledge and flee.
I had to end the charade because it was you or me.
Now this day in age friends are pretty overrated ,don't you agree?
I really hoped you saw it clear in my eyes if I give you tools to see,
I don't wanna be your mentor , I wanna be happy,
Ended it so sadly,
i don't wanna,
I don't wanna be your friend,
I'm just trying,
I'm just tying to be with the one above all up in heaven,
One above all up in heaven.


Your dismissed , very unmissed,
Got no time to comprehend this diss,
still you miss,
all the things I've told you, I can't deal with this,
I don't miss,
anything about you, all I care is about the one above all.
All I care about is the one above all,
All I care about is the one above all,
All I care about is the one above all,
All I care about is the one above all,
All I care about is the one above all,
The one above all.

Your dismissed , very unmissed,

All I care about is the one above all,
All I care about is the one above all,
All I care about is the one above all,

Soul bleeds through the clouds,
Its gasoline for now ya,
If I was buried in the soil,
Then up will sprout a flower ya,
things could never go as planned,
I really really need to know ya,
will this day ever end?
I guess we'll never know ya,
the essence floats up high,
I really wanna be with you ya,
diamond valley in the flesh,
But I just gotta get there ya,
**** a new world order,
we live in poverty ya,

People will come and go like some epidemic,
No one here begs your pardon like a parting gift and,
They will forget you even when your none existent,
Hard enough in society to be a black man,
Play your cards right and you will see a better fortune,
Staring at what you've always wanted in your life,
Struggles are real and dangers will make it to you,
Armor yourself with courage and meditations light.

You know the one thing I hate in human history is
when someone confess their secrets and loyalties
confronting you that their friendship is solid enough
to be strong like a tube of gorilla glue in every way,
Then turn around in a 360 axis then say things they
don't really mean and they disgrace your name by
saying you were the one that broke their trust when there
wasn't none anyway.
out of your ******* mind,
that's why I don't have friend now,
that's why I don't try to be something I'm not,
lord please give me the tools and show me how,
I'm invisible to everyone But not invisible to ignorant people,
Lord please don't forsake your son,
around these delusional mindless sheeple.
And you talk about I don't get second chances but you should
have told your ex that,
When you ignore the real circumstances and then try to backtrack, that's the leverage
you lacked,
When your in a family that isolates and then use you to do deeds everyday is just cruel,
No help , no encouragement of my talents is so ******* disappointing I could just drool,
Don't Regret A Thing.
