Some things are right in front of us But we laugh Snicker, mock Joke and argue Making fun Finding humor and hilarity Wanting an imposter in purity Finding intrigue in the glossy metal of a barrel Pow pow!! Pop! Pop! Human beings just don’t know where to stop stop Too jaded to believe in anything Casting our gory realities On innocence Yes if anything you were molested by society Many claim a dark mystery But you weren’t With you it was always in your music With you it was always in your words Just listen Sometimes I cry at its simplicity It was in your melody Your perfect pitch It was in your tone It was your love of expression It was your home The only thing as a young boy That you had ever known You knew you were chosen and wanted to share Maybe touch somebody’s life because you knew How song, how much emotion really cares You were truth You were real You didn’t care to mar Yes, once upon a time you lashed out with your art Feeling targeted You were so wounded by humanity You felt mislead, lead on, rejected Something so hard to conceive You just wanted to feel connected Have a real friend who wasn’t intimidated By your abilities, that would simply let you be Treat you like someone you find good company Too fragile to hurt A true artist can’t hide from us Has everyone gone mad? You were right in plain sight If you did we wouldn’t care to know more About the possible immortality of man You didn’t want the world to see you as limited For they would see themselves the same You wanted to reflect the atmosphere The stratosphere and freedom Where our minds could go if we could just let it Galaxies creating more galaxies You always knew this Before scientists stamped their approval If we could just fathom and ponder If we could just let our inner child wander You stayed here because you knew It was the one place full of honor Full of endless inspire You wanted honest truth And as a kid I remember your wild rides You behind the wheel was exquisite adventure With me and my cousins cruising Ventura Acting silly Rolling windows down Calling out to the sidewalk passersby You wished to snap them out of it Jolt them alive With our silly antics that made them smile After they realized Some stranger tried to end their vicious cycle If only for a little while as we drove mile after mile We’d go back to the compound to play imagine and focus On our dreams – you showed us the way to let them open Yes you out chased victories after your victories Only to give more selflessly And yes there would be some selfish Only to feed your endless thirsty It’s okay because some are inclined to indefinite It’s our god given essence It’s our god given message So you just shrug and accept it Why suppress it? You surely can’t help it I love you because as a child you left the biggest impression Your most important message Believe in your path Your god given genius It’s in EVERY one of us Follow this It is a sin to watch it mire, grow mold with fungus Expire Soon it will cover you Instead of the reason you are you Heavenly sent We’re all messengers. . . Just imagine One day When we all tap it When we all rap When we all trap it Look at the stars Stare They’re not very far Focus Imagine every day Every minute a little pray You’ll orbit close Closer Peel off that negative parasite Throw him to the wind Let her carry him to the ocean he wants to be in Indulge positivity Sound speed Surround yourself with matter that echoes your imagery Your philosophy Trust and watch the impossible Taking shape Taking wake The only secret As already shared Is right in front of us Still a secret we keep passing it up It’s a playground Not a jump rope of despair Don’t swing from disappointment, to anger To jaded to fear Genius – the elusive power The most coveted spot From all around, above and below Is powered only by love All force takes part Love doesn’t discriminate but a Divine cycle These truths as a child were powered by you Uncle Michael Written by Yashi Brown, Copyright 2011 Excerpt from her book of poetry “Black Daisy in a White Limousine : 77 poems” Your comments are welcomed below.
