I'll curse your name forever
Like a Bible thrown from
A broken balcony in the shady Havana

Low-life carpet roach
Approached me around noon
Or so I assumed

The absent minded assault
On ******* gun control

Laws or branches
Ripped from the
Family

Tree; besides myself
Beside myself

a ghost

The reflection on the door
Your hallway
Is a paradox

Choose *****,
                                  hardtimes,
                         lose,
                                                     ****(s)
                                       bad

It's so abusive
                          his language
His usage
                     a strand of hair
                                                 in a book
upstairs;                                                                      three

                                                        more times
                                                        more tunes
                                                                                                      Can you see it?
                                                                                                      Can you bee?

Light conquers darkness and brings about a new day
A change of mind a change of time a change of mankind
Reasons to believe seasons to recieve
Rise above and percieve overcome and achieve
People being humiliated modern day segregation
Reputations arradicated in need of a destination
Hearts and minds pierce the skies
Part the clouds and ask God why
But answers comes in a pace and sometimes slow
Why the heck we born in the first place if this is how we gotta go
Sufferings and struggles hardships and troubles
Sisters against brothers fathers against mothers
The strong rewarded the weak covered
Shackled in ******* social injustice
Reality brings about change all things change
Life becomes a game rain brings pain
Snares and options prayers and promises
The flares are launching down the dungeons
Embeded in a state of mind breaded to overcome hardtimes
Headed for the sunrise bled from a certain bloodline
Vikings and alliance titans and giants
Spirits dying minds rising
Full of hope full of pain in my mind all things change
But will i survive this game the question still remains the same
The battle is not for the weak nor for the strong
Wisdom is a gift the mind is its home
They say that i will never make it never achieve
The odds are against me but im still believing
Today i shall suffer tommorrow is a mystery
If i pray before the trumphets i shall overcome with victory
Let these words be heard before the mighty throne
Let  peace be subperb enough to live long
Move the housetop and part the sky
I surrdender my heart and free my mind

I'm sitting here drinking and thinking trying to analyze my next step while I'm walking in the dark of uncertainty.
Overwhelmed by hardtimes when the struggle is the norm.
Living pay check to pay check keeps me even more thirsty.
If I find a second job that'll keep alcohol out of my palm.
Yea, it's real.
Like a soldier surviving in Iraq battlefields.
When God is your aid and the Holy Spirit is your compass.
What keep this soldier going is God haven't fail His promise.
I hoping something would fall through.
My state of living is not cool.
Just finished my last bottle while I'm writing this.
I'm heading back to the store for more brews.
Stay tuned for a drunk man blues..
sometimes life is hard for each and everyone
hard to find away  when it comes to moving on
wether theres is grief or a love gone wrong
hope is always there that helps you to be strong

all around the world  hardtimes they are there
each and every race each and everywhere
it all part of life that we all go through
you just never know when it comes to you

— The End —
