I am tired but I’m not sleepy
What I am tired of can be
changed
I am tired of the violence that
plagues that streets
I am tired of the lies that
this country feeds me
I am tired of the NRA
I am tired of the bullshit
You see the people that effect
my life
don’t live my life
The people that make laws
don’t live in the ghetto
They eat three times a day
I have to fight to eat
I have to fight to live
I have to fight to survive
You see if I sleep I am dead
Why would they care about gun
laws?
We are dying not them!
Why would they care about the
homeless situation?
They have four to five cars in
the driveway.
I am tired of people dying,
these people don’t always make the news
But we move on.., but when it
happens to you then and only then do you want justice
Allah bless us all
The common man, the evil man,
good man, the happy man, the sad man
The black man, the white man
What we all have in common is
man.
The sun usually wakes me up in the morning
Today the sun did not shine
There were no blue skies
The waves did not crash the shore
Everything stood still
The birds did not sing
The flowers did not bloom
No mountains moved
No rains dropped
My heart stopped beating
That’s how I feel one second without you.
I am blessed with life, full of energy
Nothing can stop me
No man can hurt me
The drums of life beat in my heart
I can walk on water
I know what love is
I feel it in my soul
All because of you
