"growin" poems
There’s a meadow with the grasses growin’ Where my true love and I ran with the winds blowin’ But now a-days I walk alone And all the grasses are done grown The laughing winds that swish and sway Wipe my hopeless tears away There’s a river where there’re children playin’ Who scream and shout till the sun is settin’ My love and I used to sing and wade Now it’s just me where the children played The laughing winds that swish and sway Wipe my hopeless tears away In my dreams my love’s come home She is mine from soul to bone And she whispers her pretty smile Which takes me away from this world awhile Her silken skirts that swish and sway Tucking all my fears away In the morning, in the dawn I see again my darling’s gone Stars shine bright, but brighter was she One mistake and they took her from me I hear the whistle and whip’s hard crack All my tears come rushing back

**** Luv
Slap that fake smile on your face, then watch me quickly quicken my pace, striving to be so far from you, as from the core you let your work undo. I clench my teeth, hold the words in, ’cause right now, you just won’t listen. Now I must take a bow, moving back, as you take the stage with your soul attack. In the audience is where I’ll sit, and I’ll be even farther when your truth hits. This is the path that you have chosen, I’ll see you once more when your heart isn’t closin’. Only then, only then, can we keep on a’growin’.

 alarm clock set for early morning wails and peels without fair warning rub my eyes in an effort to see surprised to wake up in the state of VT what is this, where did it go whats a po’ boy doing far from buff’lo where be the park, the lake and da’ strip where are the people with the stiff upper lip why leave the breeze, the squalls, the kimmelweck the taverns where gran’pa drank anisette that sycamore growin’ on Franklin street the angst that consumed a community beat the grimy grey skies to summers impossibly what happened to lead me to the state of VT? {not right to accuse others of conceit why play handball with self deceit? far better to accept the things that be and apply my emotions, stoically} for one place is much like the other careers are for greenbacks, that’s why the bother of numbers and lawyers, of panels of priests up north, out west, down south and back east I am dissolved in a prelude that leads to eternity with so many points available, might as well be VT

It's a beautiful day,birds singing as I'm walking Mill Lane, listening to a few Me Fein Refrains, I'm whistling,feeling pretty fine and dandy, with my eyes red rovering all the eye candy, when I hear it,brakes shriekin'-women Shriekin', a mans voice-Hoarse, "Jaysus Someone do somethin", I spin on me heel,eyes centred as **** wishing this was all a dream-A runaway Truck, tires peelin' brakes smokin' rubber burnin', A runaway load,it's not gonna make the turn and it's **THEN that I feel true terror in me soul, I see a little boy playin' at the edge of the road** , he's a sturdy little lad,stick in hand, pokin' at the grasses growin' up from the path, and he's right in the Path of the Truck from hell, Theres no decision,I'm runnin' like a bat outta hell, and it's then that I get a feeling it's a Lucid dream, languidity covers me,no more screams, theres a Figure in my way that's wasn't there the last breath, then I'm literally starin' in the face of Death... and I FEEL his thoughts as he turns blank Orbits, on me and his words are like this "One Obit, uary in my Ferry is my Task today, do you really want to be the one who gets in MY WAY?(way way way), and he can HEAR my thoughts,just as I heard his, "get out the fuckin' way you long streak of **** "you said one has to go,well that's fine with me!", "I've got coins in my pocket if you need your fee!" and with a glint in his eye and a plangent refrain, he touches me centre forehead and declaims "NO PAIN" Then things speed up and I'm off fists pumpin', feet slappin' on the pavement head down, heart jumpin, I'm not the Flash,but I can move it when I need to Run, and the long drawn screech is a Hell of a starters Gun, I'm across the road like a bolt from the blue, grab the little Man and throw him,then BANG there I flew, its all earth,sky,earth,then a terrible jolt, but no pain as was promised as I come to a halt, then his Mother is there(he's on her hip) and she's holding my(only)hand, tellin' me theres ambulances and I'm gonna be grand, but theres a Grand Piano layin' on my Chest, and no pain,but to be honest here-I'm not at my best, and just as I start to think of family and friends, before Distress can manifest too much in my mind, a tall RATHER BONY figure stretches out his hand, and intones into me bones,"OFF TO THE NEXT LAND(land,land,land)"

I got wet. Then I got more wet. Then I lost my keys. And my shoes were filled with rain, chattering teeth, soaked to my thighs through to my skin shrivelled up feet, trench foot set in but then I think about real trench foot and silently apologise to the poor sods who died with wet feet I cried when I peeled off my clothes I felt sorry for myself But the little un had made me a hot drink So I thought myself lucky I am not native to wet and cold The sun is needed for us growin' old

Just jealous of what my friends got Uh I was hungry and you fed me love **** you gave me yours, it wasn't enough Yet, I took it all and without a praise You made it feel like home and without a place Workin' like slaves, and I'm so sorry Ungrateful for the things you done did for me Comin' home from school, disrespecting Acting like I ain't have blessings Dear, Mama the council won't get you If you try to go, I won't let you A careless *** kid, but I'm tryna change it I just need to tell you I appreciate it 2Pac: "...and I feel like if you walk by a street and you was walkin' on concrete and you saw a rose, growing outta concrete Even if it had messed up petals and it was a little.. you know, to the side you would marvel at just seeing a rose grow through concrete.." As a youngin' all I had was a dream You was my brother, my hero, my team I was down for you, all you did was sell I was growin' up while you was in and out of jail Waitin' at the court room, all of us silent You was never home, you was always so violent How you think I felt when I visited the prison Of where my brother at while my partner gone missin' I was gone dissin', but I was just hurt From all those nights, those fights, those words **** we used to argue all the time, I hated you And witnessing your drug dealin' and I hated, too It was my birthday and then some next **** All them times, you just got your *** arrested Family stressin', I'm surprised you ain't dead From a life of a crime, and that war with the FEDS Have you thought 'bout what you put me through? HUH? And all the things I had to do for you Like deal with the people who spoke your name Like this ***** who disrespected you, I broke her frame But it's okay, I'm your baby sis And some day I just may be rich And I got you, I ain't gotta say it I just wanted you to tell me you appreciate it 2Pac: "...and I feel like if you walk by a street and you was walkin' on concrete and you saw a rose, growing outta concrete Even if it had messed up petals and it was a little.. you know, to the side you would marvel at just seeing a rose grow through concrete.."

Dear Luv
2 Pac: "...and I feel like if you walk by a street and you was walkin' on concrete and you saw a rose, growing outta concrete Even if it had messed up petals and it was a little to the side you would marvel at just seeing a rose grow through concrete.." As a yougin' all I had was a dream Rappin' to myself as my mama used to scream Papa getting violent and he beatin' her again They just feeling stressed cause they tryna pay the rent Papa, you a G though you did wrong Mama, you an angel cause you stayed strong Papa, it's alright, we have weak moments Mama, you a soldier cause you keep holdin' Uh But some days, we ain't have **** And some nights, I was askin' "Why we so poor, but my friends not?" Just jealous of what my friends got Uh I was hungry and you fed me love **** you gave me yours, it wasn't enough Yet, I took it all and without a praise You made it feel like home and without a place Workin' like slaves, and I'm so sorry Ungrateful for the things you done did for me Comin' home from school, disrespecting Acting like I ain't have blessings Dear, Mama the council won't get you If you try to go, I won't let you A careless *** kid, but I'm tryna change it I just need to tell you I appreciate it 2Pac: "...and I feel like if you walk by a street and you was walkin' on concrete and you saw a rose, growing outta concrete Even if it had messed up petals and it was a little.. you know, to the side you would marvel at just seeing a rose grow through concrete.."

jack casual was a hard workin' man, put bread on the table, kept the roof over our heads, and kept that dog, nellie, from gettin' 'er sorry be-hind run over. yep, ol' jack was worth his salt. he used to play his acoustic for us when we were tikes, back when we had an air conditioner. when it broke down, ol' gran-pappy, jack's dad, had him run out to the store to buy a window unit and a slurpie. then pappy would stagnate all day in the back room while we sweltered, and he'd send me on errands on my bike, and read week-old newspapers, and yell at jack to "pay the god **** bills" at four in the morning. jack wanted to send him to a "home", but mama never did like them. she said they were "unsafe", "unsanitareh", and "unhospitible". so gran-pappy stayed. yes sir-ee, gran-pappy stayed for three long years with his banjo and the growin' pile of slurpie cups in the corner of that back room where it was cool. until that one night when gran-pappy called mama a name the dog had done learned to respond to, and mama said, "jack, just put him in the home! a lady shouldn't be treated upon in this mannuh." that was the last i ever did see of ol' gran-pappy, but i still remember the last words he said to us: "...and bring me back a slurpie, it's one hot son of a ***** up in here and i need somethin' to cool me off a spell!"

I don’t know where the right place is But if you ever found it That’s where my heart would be Pumpin’ contently Good intentions lookin’ like veins Stackin’ up like a spiral train track headin’ up and out It’s the only way they grow Up and out Like weeds They grow from anywhere I had a friend who’s car was so messy weeds were growin’ in his back seat Love is synonymous with the way weeds grow Makes me thankful for the fissures in the foundation that holds me On days where the money runs out And I can’t even keep my own head above water On days where I collapse into the fault lines I’ve made for myself There’s still love in there I know I’m not perfect But the intentions bleedin’ out from the cracks in my skin Are beggin’ for forgiveness Like it was all that I ever wanted I hate the fact that I push people away And I hate the fact that I can get so obnoxious That even my laugh sounds like thunder beggin’ ya to punch me in the face Go ahead and stop lovin’ me if you have to Just know If you ever found the right place Maybe stumbled upon it like a hole in the ground That you somehow missed My heart would be in there Good intentions Workin’ up like weeds Beggin’ you to love me

Plastic Rap
A party in the jungle heat, he is sober, Like always. *Just one drink... Come on try it...* No. One, please, do it with me No Don't be left out No Just one...? ...no... One. Capitulation First Sip. Fruit juices of the jungle- strawberry sweet with that telling aftertaste no regret. Sip. Gulp. First cup finished He is Tipsy. Secnd cup finshed He is Buzzed. Pride, He has lost his inicense, He is growin' up. The only limit is dere are none... Three cups in and the sweet nektar is gane, One half a Loko next – grawss. The world tips. One half a wutr botle goes very fastly - no flavor at all The world blurs, Cut to couch 3 am He tiiirrrred, He fulll, He is full-on drunk. For the first time in sixteen years, he is a wining-confused-inarticulate baby. Pillow on his face to hide from the lights- not the shame- just the party that needs to be over He wants sleep, but the spins keep him awake. The rumors abound: "He assed out on the couch."- not true. Alcohol fueled lie. Alcohol distorts perception far worse than a few rumors can hope to encompass. Alcohol turns your average teen into a Thrill-seeking Death-defying Lady-killing Frisky-living Idiot.

back when bein high was peter pan,
I can't get action nowhere I can't get satisfaction nowhere Just rage and hate and shouting and crying, But it won't bring my brother back anyhow. Why? Tell me why, Why? Why? Why did my brother have to die? The police say it was a gang war The neighbor says he was with the wrong ***** The kids on the corner say it was a turf war. I just know I won't see him any more. Why? Tell me why, Why? Why? Why did my brother have to die? He was a typical kid growin' up in the hood He did what he had to that's understood His life was rough, his friends were tough, So much around him and none of it good. Why? Tell me why, Why? Why? Why did my brother have to die? It was a hot afternoon in the projects He was out scopin' out his prospects A car sped by, I heard gunfire Someone shouts my brothers dead. Why? Tell me why Why? Why? Why did my brother have to die? In the projects it's understood Life ain't worth nothin' in the hood One day your livin' large with a Porche in the garage Next day your dead as a piece of wood. Why? Tell me why, Why? Why? Why did my brother have to die? The jealousy and pettiness are insane It's hard to believe we're in the same game We're fighting each other, brother against brother And all we're doing is filling graves. Why? Tell me why, Why? Why? Why did my brother have to die? No one's gettin' ahead here We're only getting dead here When your life is measured by the bundles you clock We should be lookin to get outa here. Why? Tell me why, Why? Why? Why did my brother have to die? Everyday here's another wake No one want's to give only want to take Have another drink maybe I won't have to think About what we love and forsake. Why? Tell me why, Why? Why? Why did my brother have to die?

I'm gonna tell a secret for all we know, a lie, I'm sure you're gonna to keep it cause no one else cares why. We potted wild ivy and left it sittin' out the roots we hardly watered and in spite of years of draught it climbed upon my outer wall and once over the sill our ivy grew into my heart it's growin' wild still. And time has past us by my friend like Ivy up a wall, a vine of green on everything which feeds it's will to crawl Now don't be making promises let's keep it on the low We never said "forever" and no one else will know I'm just like wild Ivy I wish it weren't true my love don't need much love to feed upon a heart that's through. Clipping back the foliage that's crowding out my brain the roots embedded deeply are really quite a pain. The leaves obscure my sunshine and cloud my vison too to think our lives could pass us by without a word from you. Well you're not one to need a crutch no swooning butterfly you tend to life without my touch or loving lullaby. I let that wild ivy in it's just a simple vine low maintanance and oxygen I thought we'd be just fine. But truth be told this green ain't gold and bricks beneath are tired the mortar's cracked from roots which hacked and into crevice wired. I never thought we'd live this long without a word from you It's time to cut the ivy back and let the truth be true.
