Black Poetry : Rejection is Rejection

[Desert Storm]

Rejection is rejection
And hate is hate
Let's not get it twisted
It's all the same

Pain is pain
And fear is fear
POVERTY IS POVERTY
No matter what walk of life you live in
It is near

Jealousy is jelousy and envy is envy
gossip is gossip
Grief is disatisfaction

The question of this age

Is WHO CAN SATISFY MY SOUL?

Not a melody
Not a belief
Not a remedy

No no one can hold

Extreme is extreme
Ain't no one different than the other

Hurt is hurt
Weather it's from a stranger or your own brother
As Oleta James once sang

EVERYTHING MUST CHANGE
CUZ NOTHING STAYS THE SAME
EVERYONE MUST CHANGE
AND NO ONE STAYS THE SAME

THE YOUNG BECOME THE OLD
AND MYSTERIES DO UNFOLD
AND THAT'S THE WAY I'LL DIE,
OLD
NO ONE STAYS THE SAME

You look around
You hear the youth cry, from a fatherless generation
You see people die senseless
Violence must be the cause of RACISM

You see people SPEND themselves
Living day after day
Is there any kind of HOPE
Living in desperation
Is there any other way?

CUZ It's overwhelmingly spreading across the earth

Who can feed my soul?
What is love?
SOME MAY NEVER KNOW
Release me from this DEATH
I've lost TRUST AND THEREFORE RESPECT!
Where does it go what does it all mean??????

There must be something deeper
WHAT'S NEXT?

REJECTION IS REJECTION
And hate is hate
Let's not get it twisted
It's all the same

Pain is pain
And fear is fear
POVERTY IS POVERTY
No matter what walk of life you live in
It is near

Jealousy is jelousy and envy is envy
gossip is gossip
Grief is disatisfaction

The question of this age

Is WHO CAN SATISFY MY SOUL?
who can soothe this pain
who can calm the stormy sea
WHO CAN FEEL THIS PAIN?

I am a soul
I AM A SOUL
I am a soul

I AM A SOUL
THAT when i perish i perish
As my spirit leaves my body
And it is written in the book
To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord
Not taking anyone with me
Not taking even my DNA

Just me and the creator
Before him I will give an account
Beforfe him
I will feel no SHAME.

There are many different reasons as to why pain is inflicted, and in all it's forms it hurts. Let your ink continue to flow.

I FEEL You!!!!
I FEEL You!!!!
I FEEL You!!!!

and then some more

Desert Storm as a name, is putting it lightly
I wanna BE with thee Almighty
Cause I'm tired of this pain
I've had enough of the shame
Running around ..playing a game

Seeking fortune and fame
And all I want is to BE
LOVED, PROTECTED AND CARED FOR

I'm leaving now...getting up off the FLOOR
walking out the DOOR
Going after MORE.....

Rejection can be love ...
Rejection can be pride...

if u turn ur back on taught self-hate

their hate can make u rise...

gotta play these cards been dealt..
yeah, maybe life ain't fair...

the whole purpose at the end my friend..
yeah, I still have no answer there...

but their purpose I figured out..
to say I'm not beautiful...

I gladly reject that bullish...
cause I c myself.. and i know they r full of bull

fear is fear.. only thing to fear is fear itself..
and i c the fear in their eyes.. cause they know i don't fear myself!

all this what u can't b.. what you'll never b...
who ever said i wasn't happy as I am...

i love my place in the struggle...
my soul is my business... leave america to "the man"

the crooked *** establishment.. the tricks they try to play..
jedi mind tricks... we supreme.....

yeah... i'm rejecting that today...

one day i know last will be first...
and those that think they first will be last.....

social structure they set up......
designed to make us underclass....

trust urself.... man u all alone.. it's something we all go thru..
but it always been this way... judas did it to jesus too...

cain he killed his brother.... adam's wife gave him forbidden fruit...

i think all these thing represent... envy, jealousy... hate and loot...
the things that make us sell our soul......

it's always been this way...

but these are the things that I reject...
so I think rejection can represent love in this way...

what u think?
