placing bullets in the gun
placing pulpits before the sun
tanning verses darkening the message
of my "hell"acy that i lived looking
for a legacy to begin with my
name falling within memorable memories
of me BUT my mind had no legs
so i could not walk towards the light
and relished in the dark growing
as a nocturnal nightcrawler wearing
a kevlar vest on the occupant that sits
inside the left side of my chest
not feeling but stealing breaths and tomorrows
father of hatred and a mothers' sorrow
of a sons now gone.....deviant behavior
used to be my savior to explain what I saw
and estrange me from what I saw in the
mirror...this miscontorted, misunderstood,
mismanaged state of a man...that was
breast fed by mis justice and raised in the
justice system reprogrammed to understand
that I was nothing more than what
got me adopted in the first place
I am an orphan of self and I'll never find
my real parents cause the streets
raised me and the institutions enslaved me
and now it's time to be free
(bang)
