Clarity

Reverence
Time is of the essence
And I need some silence
To bless you with my presence
The essence...
Of this being
Travels unseen
Between strings of words
Like a lyrical fiend
Because if I'm to be
All I could be
With a pen and paper you should arm me
Watch out for debris
My style is original but this shit ain't free
Free.
The illusion of modern day slavery
But touching on this subject only pains me
And stains me
With an indifference you would not believe
Should I care if there is a 1% of a 1% practicing to deceive?
Well if you asked me why
I'll give you one answer
Human beings, yes, you and me, are the Earth's Cancer.

Cancer.
A defiling creature
A battle against nature
The everlasting development waiting for us to bring forth Casper
Almost as if we are life long natural disaster
Creating labs, mixed concoction
Spreading fables of the positive junction
All its seems to do is bring forth corruption Corruption.
The meaning of politics
The tricks of men who behave like dicks
Conductive efforts for one common goal
Imagine if it were one to help souls
Those lost with no home
Seeking for someone to share their common goal
Seeking someone to take them home.

Home
Home is where the heart is
That place where kids live
Effortlessly existing in unworldly comforts
Drinking  bottles of juice pop
Bobbing  heads to their boom box
Taking ya back to the seventies
Where c d's were dreams
And drive ins were movies
Played on a big screen
Life was a kids dream
Living it simply
Simply
Simply  put this piece is about Freedom , Cancer and corruption
The  very thing that divides so many regions
Every one fighting for a place called home
Each  one trying to make it on their own.
Survival of the fittest is what we've dubbed this. ..... simply put.

Verse


What have we done to each other?
Borrowed to the core and infused with every fibre of the other
Individual perceptions perpetuated by another
With lies and schemes we choose to believe it seems
I confess
I was a mess
Perfect I know I wasn’t
Two wrongs making a right; it doesn’t
But I can’t go back as the hands of time smacks me forward
Running away from conversations about us like a coward
Now it seems you were the only person with time invested
And my role in the relationship was to not be interested
In making it work between us
Between lust
With hers who were not her
I don’t concur
Because if these walls could talk they would have much to say
Because there’s always two sides to a story why lovers drift away.

Why deny?
Why run?
How long will you stay away?
I know you still think of me
Yet resolve to the torture of memories
Biting your lips when thoughts of us come to mind
Spending your nights confined inside.
Say no more
Your words mean nothing
When your body has confessed all the answers
There is no resisting
You know that already
Only relapse and remission
The inhibitions in your decision
Has left you empty inside
Seeking comfort in the life you left behind
I’m happy for you…
Praying to keep your morals intact
Hoping the weight on your conscience can be lifted
So do what you want to
Do what you must
If it’s easier, think of…
Why deny?
Why run?
How long will you stay away?

Acquaintance

Drifting shadows
Away in the distance
Where do you go?
I take the time
Staring out my window
Waiting for you
Waiting on your return
Thinking of the places you have visited
The new faces you've seen
Drifting shadows
Away in the distance
Where do you go?
