You marvel at the wondrous smile, stalwart stance and poetic verses
No one can see the pain and struggle
A sacrifice that...in my aspirations, will become your inspiration
The Poet Can't Sleep
Trying to understand the mysteries of the Universe
What's god's plan?
What is it that humanity needs to understand?
Why can't we truly love and respect our differences?
Why the need to hijack all of the resources?
Isn't it enough for everyone?
What is the sum of our existence?
Why are devils so persistent?
This Is Why The Poet Can't Sleep
The ebb and flow of politics
Everything ain't what it seems
You make 10 steps
You are pulled back 5
Keeping your ambitions on a string
Chasing carrots, seeking to intercept the American dream
We think we have it all figured every 4 years
Pitting left against right, stoking the deepest, unprovoked fears
The rat race, of continuous cycles
So deeply engaged, that when the opp wins, some are reduced to tears
Others become enraged
Some flee, resist to engage
The Poet Can't Sleep
What is your beautiful distraction?
How do you stay out of the loop?
Is apathy your solution?
How about quasi-revolution?
Or do you believe in absolution?...
for those who have sinned, lied, played with your emotions again and again
The Poet Can't Sleep
Everything on the highest level of politricks
are planned 100 years in advanced
But this only is effective if we don't take a stance
I believe in taking the gentle approach
I'm not one to encroach
just sharing with you some of the reasons
The Poet Can't Sleep....
Then I feel an angel of peace
a breeze of solace
I've had my share...more than many could bare
of turmoil, abuse and despair
LIFE NUMBER 11
god sent me to make you aware
There is peace after discord
There is love after hate
There is wealth after meagerness
I'm not saying this to placate
I'm only hoping that you will relate...
And be able to get some sleep!
