Being consumed, Being so full Of carbohydrates Without finding the ability To move, Being so full of negativity That you wander Back to the saloon, Confused, lost, feeling used, You know the truth Is in you- But you cant shake Your mind free, You said something You didnt want to Or you said something They didnt care to hear, You couldnt let it be, You cant let it all free, You dont know what That could do, Its not going to prove Anything, She doesnt stop, Her clock keeps Turning Churning butter As you seem To catch the flutter Of her wings, She keeps her offspring Safe But she cant always Explain the way, You have to be around To know How all of this sounds While youre gone, You have to be you to- Understand why everything Moves, You have to sense that your Aggression is Getting out of hand, You have to be able to sense That your life Will land On zero With no arrow to show you The way, Inside you can feel Inner-strength, You peel it away and Tell yourself It will make the difference But in every instance We hear nothing Coming from within But a man Who desires the individual Ability to win, You cant win because When you do You are not whole And you wont like What that part of the world Has to show, There were slaves in caves Mining for diamonds So you can hold your shiny Phone, Should we continue To probe and disrobe The truth? There were precious metals And harsh labor promises Not to settle your stomach, You are holding onto a piece Of African life And they are allowing you to talk Across the universe, Love is coming, Love is going, Love is blowing Through the air, Love is in their But so to is force, How does this man Think he owns The entire golf course And do we stop and look At how he hooks the balls He drives? Do we really care of the car, The emptiness on wheels? Do we share who we are, Do we know, Or is it only when you and I Decide to grow That we actually go The distance? And when I smack Your hands At the table Are you still able To feel like A whole person Or is that just My own spite, Its my diet right? And who will keep Me in line After I decide to Go away from time To time, Whats going to enable Me to experience life? If youre not the right Person For me then who is And if I cant stop Throwing fits about What it is I dont get, Will I ever see us? Will I ever become A man I can love and Understand, You say you can see Through Whats projected, I say that love Is often directed Towards something Else Because we are ill, We are forced Into wealth, I like that you are Thoughtful, Every plate you Serve, I like how youre Subtle, How you conserve My nerves, I like how we can talk And listen to each other Without speaking of the snake Which has bitten, No one has been in the garden In quite a while, You love to grow fruits But you dont have The time and the property That allows you to, But you do have people That want to grow, That want to know How can I be that Considerate, How can I live to see So much, How can I feed my young If I know nothing of love, How can I pretend that iron Makes me strong When my insides never seem To want to go on? Last time I heard many of us Were songbirds Reaching for a cage, Last time I knew the cage Was made of metal And only the heart which loves Unconditionally Can ever be truly gentle, Im not driving a car, I dont see any reason For a Bentley Because my decisions Of life and how I see myself Are not made mentally, Its the whole picture..... Live your life As though You are a part Of the scripture Sing while everyone Is looking Let it get inside And vibrate off The walls Let them feel What is large And what is Small Let them call You nothing But a couple Of Beautiful notes Watch the individuals Hope rise, Watch Capitalism disappear From the colors Of your sky Watch you forget about Your heart Keeping it locked inside Walk this Earth as if You didnt need A bulletproof vest, Forget about suspicion Because it wont Be living in you You are more and it is Because Of what men learn to do That makes you so you And us so glued But when we become truth Nothing, nothing is there To ever lose But a few cold drafts.
