Injection (revised)

Picture me bummin,
Begging for sumthin for nothin,
Straight frontin,
Plain game,
Not worried about shame,
Cause the street is my name,
Cookin pipes with open flames,
With a spoonful of liquid addiction,
Every time I light it, I fight it,
In a shooting gallery with no paintings!
Just unknown needle artists,
As soon as I smell the aroma,
It's all over I'm a goner,
To the island of mirage,
But, I wake up in a abandoned garage,
Burnt lips and fingertips, No chips, Worried about a sore I caught from some nasty hips, Everything in this life has lost its grip,
So my food box remains hungary and sick,
Yearning for the next packets fix,
Trying to look for a bottle to sip,
If I'd had some cheddar life would better,
Even when it rains on me nothing gets wetter,
Shopping cart for a car and surrounded cardboard walls to protect the dome,
I wish I could go home!
Tired if the dope, internal inhales of smoke, need spiritual hope, cause I can't cope, eyes seeing everything as a kaleidoscope,
Veinstream,
To arteries mainstream,
Muscles rigid and tense,
Teeth relaxed but dirty as a backyard fence,
I cry for the high,
"I can't lie!"
But I don't wanna die because of the next injection!
I'm sick of sitting in mental highs detention,
Hoping for television intervention but my unpaid cell phone can't make the needed connection,
Looking for SOS can't call 911,
Trapped in Hells darkness while paying for the holy son,
 I'm in a traffic jam everything is stop light red, How can I push life up?
What can anyone say?
When the initials in your name spell D.O.A.

When the tongue moves

Need not worry,
Need not fear,
Need not tear,
From the words that ears hear,
Welcome arms open for hugs as one nears,
How it happens it is unclear,
Hearts is broken let alone badly seared,
Sticks and stones have broken bones,
And names penetrate deep,
May are deepest prayers be answered as we sleep,
And may forgiveness be a word that flows in speech,
So that hateful words we never speak,
Occasional people may fall stray,
Far away,
Hate will keep many away,
I Love You is the path for anyone to find their way home.......

Help Wanted

Delicately seeking,
Eyelids closed but, sometimes peeking,
To see what the mind can reveal,
What would have happened if they didn't create the wheel?
If people with the finances wouldn't steal?
If people who are blatantly fake would actually be real?
If paralyzed people could wake up and feel?
If there's no such thing as a bad deal,
How come some of the world's best athletes are the worst criminals?
It's all about the M O N E Y,
MAY we never WEATHER that storm!
POLICE with a violent baton and comes with no battery,
How can you have positive battery and conclude with negative results,
One for all and all one?
A clean badge but, dirty gun?
Can I see your license and registration?
Let freedom ring,
Hope it's not close to our ears,
The red, white, and blue,
It's a towel for tears,
What's happening in the world today we wonder?
I hope they find a solution before more of the innocent become six feet under......

Miss money

She said she'd hug me,
Always be there but, never bug me,
Get closer and always love me,
But as much as she tired,
Emotionally cried,
Looked in my eyes and continually lied,
She couldn't decide,
Said she was sorry and had nothing to hide,
She heard that I would no longer be able to provide,
What happened to sparks?
Where there was light has now become dark,
You're leaving because I lost my job?
That's crazy!
Here's your house key,
How could you do this to me?
I had to let you know something so I came home early,
Well I quit my job because I hit the lottery,

Circle of Emotions

Pain, love, and hate,
Three words fours letters,
When combined they emulatel each other,
Some love pain,
Some hate love,
Some love to give pain,
Some feel hate and pain when love's gone,
Some hate the pain that love gives,
All can create emotional depth,
Tears to descend,
Some take years to mend,
We can stop hate and stop the pain,
But if we stop to love?
Think of the hate and pain it would cause.........

Mind view

Racists views,
Right to choose,
Winners break the tape but still lose,
Smile in our face,
Turn and the tongue chatters,
Weak minds believe it really matters,
Raindrops descending,
Emotional fracture forever mending,
Spiritual beliefs keep knees bending,
Distorted requests what are we sending?
Loving GOD but still pretending,
Facebook friending,
Wars on Twitter,
The computer's eye are the new baby sitters,
Social media,
Always misleading ya,
Put our business in the street,
But we all want privacy,
Too deeply attached to the spine of society,
What a misguided frat or sorority,
Now everything are shades of grey,
Couldn't mix black in white back in the day?

Chemical Insecurity

Faces are like places,
The view is panoramic,
Still,
Continuous,
Painted on with chemicals,
What happened to natural beauty?
Society is the brush,
For facial insecurity,
Women sleep without makeup,
Wake up without makeup,
But, buy items to cover up true identity,
Then buy products to uncover what's been hidden all day!
So who's fake?
Who's the culprit behind this dilemma?
Society's the brush we are the canvas,
It's woven in their scalp,
I'm so sorry, it's embedded in the brain,
Excuse me!  I paid good money for this hair,
We waste money on things we already have,
The word natural has been replaced with enhance,
We are born with a gift,
Everything that sags or falls we can magically lift,
The excuse is, " I want to be different!"
No we want to be accepted!
We want to spend money to change our appearance,
He wouldn't look at me twice without makeup,
Which is not true!
With or without makeup the word DAMN is in the conversation,
You define it yourself!
At the end of the day,
Do you like yourself?
Or do you need someone else to tell you?
Places are like faces,
The beauty is in the eyes of the person looking.....

Deep Roots

It's a shame,
When the family you grow up with,
Is the most distance as we grow older,
Never let death be the reason to tell a family member,
I Love You or I remember When,
The sun will never shine on their face,
Their shadow shall remain,
Plain and silent,
Vague but, photographic;
We do what we do,
We chose what we chose,
The tears cascade,
The phone call ends,
I should've clicked over,
It was my best friend,
As the casket closed,
I read the text,
I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW,I LOVE YOU AND I MISSED MY FAMILY.......

Without a Trace

F- orgiving not forgetting,

A- ll we remember is your shadow and,

T- he days that you've been gone,

H- ave you no heart?

E- veryday memories,

R- eveals the pain since you forgot that your not a man.....

Renew

One can't explain the unknown,
When the days of those had hearts of stone,
Only they know the real reason,
When they were committing spiritual treason,
Those are the days when they weren't believing,
Eyes were open and they still weren't seein,
Because the darkness was what they were conceivein,
But it took change to understand that we thought was actually good was only deceivin,
Sometimes we can't do the math,
So how do you think that you know life's path?
If we did do you think we would have the same walk,
Conversations would be different when we talk,
One time crackhead,
Use to steal,
Use to beg,
How can we understand someone else's last breath,
When our own conscience thinks we've cheated death?

Really??

She once told me never,
It was cool and clever,
Then I said whatever!
One day we'll be together,
And it might be forever?
Her face started wincing,
But it mentally sounded briefly convincing,
However,
She said, " I wasn't thinking straight due to bad weather,"
Plus I had other ties that needed to be severed,
Before and anything could be delivered,
If you start something we have to finish,
Or this whole dream will diminish,
It could be everything right in the palm of this hand,
But, fear keeps us apart and lonely as we stand,
Damn!
Nothing gained because the heart remembers pains past,
She said, " I thought I had a man in my forecast!"
I'm sorry it's too much pressure,
She said, " even with tape I couldn't measure!"
