Music's Immortal Glory

I don't need a poem or a song, to remind me how my choices have been bad or wrong, I simply can look in the mirror, wish what's right and the truth were clearer, my life's being ruled by fear, why doesn't anyone seem to care, my soul's hope is dying, my heart's eyes keep crying, this depression is incessant, bad timing and luck got me super stressing, and nobody is to blame, I'm not good at the finding balance or equilibrium game, so lost in regret and shame, can't be both gutsy and tame, I ain't thinking straight, which is a good thing cuz I'm gay, isn't that ironic, perhaps I'll never be legendary or iconic, but I won't ever give up on my dreams, of selling out stadiums and winning a few Grammys, and maybe I'll only get to experience that when I sleep, but then again I've got my cd, the original soundtrack to my story, music's immortalized in all its glory!

Omission & Fear

Finally finding footing, I'd say I'm open but haven't been looking, not really into hookering, it isn't that I wouldn't I couldn't, I'm old school that way, even tho I'm gay, I'm not promiscuous like them, perfectly capable of platonic friends, more of a homo jock bro, so not superficial and u can't buy my love with dough, take the time to get to know me, make an effort so it doesn't feel one sided and lonely, sorry I go crazy when I'm bored, Italian boys don't like to cut the umbilical chord, the food is just too good, I was raised to do what's right and what we should, my folks gave me so much, except magical luck like the Midas touch, I'm the bipolar opposite, turn everything to shit, but sooner or later I'll figure out how to control my powers, fuck fifteen minutes of fame I want fifteen trillion hours, I'd then be able to make a real difference, it's true that things can change in an instant, music success would be like winning the lottery, the quality of our celebrities or lack thereof really bothers me, why don't we pay attention to what we value, getting rid of the gold standard was our biggest snafu, our cash became worthless paper, credit cards aren't doing us any favors, when did convenience become expensive, the corruption and greed is extreme and extensive, perhaps we're too far gone, embittered spiteful and scorned, tho I don't really believe that, we can't turn back time or go back, but stop sweeping crap under the rug, when u know why but rather throw ur hands up and shrug, pretending u have absolutely no idea, u my dear can tell who's evil cuz they manipulate using omission and fear!

I Am Truth & Mirror

Is it bad to care and have too much hope, I think that's the side effect of dope, I mean besides the munchies, why doesn't America manufacture scrunchies, or anything for that matter, seems elite's pockets and bank accounts are getting fatter, surprisingly tho not their waistlines, cuz health food is heavily taxed/fined, it's absolutely ridiculous, the FDA pharmaceutical company's lobbyists and congress are all fricken hypocrites, it's disgusting and sad, makes me irate frustrated angry and plain mad, that we the people, are now fighting for the forces of the lesser evil, I can't make my obvious prophetic warnings anymore creatively clearer, perhaps I am truth and u just can't stand to look at me or in the mirror!

It's Gotta Be My Choice

The choice ultimately is up to me, life's either a blessing or a burden so what's it gonna be, we ask so much of kids, we seriously need to reflect on how we live, what's our legacy, have I fulfilled my destiny, like Black Eyed Peas ask where is the love, right next to the truth and soul's holes dug, they died long ago, sold out for dough, so instead I'll take all the negativity pain greed and hate and use it, to keep making beautiful love inspiring conscious hip hop music, and when I finally succeed and achieve my dreams, even if u come crawling back begging and pleading on ur knees, sorry but I won't be sorry, and that doesn't make me conceited snarky or snotty, it's simply just how uve gotta be, I can no longer let judgmental nonconstructive criticism and opinion bother me!

Take Back My Soul's Control

I've learned life's not fair and it sucks, blame me then cuz now I just don't give two fucks, I'm simply done, this is gonna start getting fun, ya'll definitely ain't ready, so stupid naive ignorant and all forgetty, constantly playing ditzy dumb and love ghosting, ya'll a bunch of greedy leeches trolling coattail riding and coasting, become dependent on entitlement due to consumption, corporate capitalistic culture's why Trump'll win, Hillary's saying sorry but will we be apologizing for her down the line, why do ya'll religiously tolerate/settle for mediocrity that's the way it is just ok and it's fine, ya'll can keep reading me bitch and wine, or u could help me by making an effort a donation or lending some of ur precious time, the lack of follow thru is disrespectful and disgusting, I'm not sorry if me and my truth is an inconvenient interruption, I've had enough of illusion misdirection and lies, I am not an evil bad person cuz I'm gay and get high, love is never wrong or a sin and pot is medicine, I'm not arguing about this again, supposedly we get what we give, but I never ever ever criticize people for their choices dreams or how they live, I'm over apologizing for being a decent nice guy, fear for me comes in the form of figuring out why, I got to learn to let go let shit be and just move on without anger or spite, with Love & Consciousness finally take back my soul's control of my own destiny and life!

Can't Stop It

It's hard watching everyone surpass u, failure makes me feel like a fool, I smile to hide the pain, but I can't do that every day, I'm not perfect, but I believe me I'm worth it, unconditional support and love, I just want things to start looking up, being down so long, maybe I'm inherently wrong, just when I think it couldn't be worse, the attention gets misdirected towards talentless jerks, evil seems to be getting rich, our congress is a bunch of morally corrupt dicks, and the people are sheep, America's consumers buy cheap, but u get what u pay for, slaves are modern day whores, sick of government trying to stimulate the economy with wars, we've polluted the whole globe including seas and shores, we can't keep having record profits, I don't know if there is anything we can do now to stop it!

Expressing My Essence

I'm not pretty decent I'm fucking amazing, giving ya'll real classic old school hip hop we've been desperately craving, the only person I'm interested in saving, is me myself and I, I hate when fat overworking cig smoking alcoholics judge me for getting high, damn man don't u understand it's medicine, I hope someday I'll get out of the red and ahead again, cuz being broke sucks and it's depressing, support me and my form of expression, whether poetry or music, just cuz it's lucrative isn't why I do it, it's embedded in my heart soul and essence, spreading my love consciousness experiences truths and lessons, believe me tho I'm far from perfect, fame and fortune isn't worth it, especially if u don't make room or time for other people, sharing is caring and daring enough to fight the forces of evil, capitalism needs some reigning in, before the millenial ages begin, they are frightfully I'll prepared from being lied to spoiled and coddled, I mean come on now ya'll are playing into both Hillary and the Donald, Bernie also isn't the second coming of Christ, but at least he has good morals intelligence values compassion and empathy for a better quality life, he's about doing what's fair just and right, I really hope we wake up soon and see the light, I'm tired of having to bitch and gripe, but aren't u too over all this atrocity strife and plight?!

Good Got Trump-ed By Evil

Some days finding the words to say, can be difficult cuz I'm lost in a haze, of overanalyzing and stressing out, will I inherit alzheimers heart disease or gout, I have some of the worst genes, notorious for oversharing and spilling the beans, it isn't always what shit looks like or seems, if it is too good to be true it usually is indeed, we have trouble distinguishing our wants from our needs, so consumed with power and greed, I'm more for socialism and fighting for the collective greater good, we miseducate our kids instead of doing all we could, to better existentially elevate, this country along with the rest of humanity could actually be great, if we fairly allocate our resources and redistribute wealth, stop being masogonistically predictable too proud to admit or ask for help, wish our government was more nurturing, this capitalistic business has no heart or soul and is really hurting, almost 99% which an overwhelming majority of people, guess we've reached the pinnacle turning point where good got Trump-ed by evil, I'm not sexist Clinton just isn't the answer, corrupt corporate culture has been globalized running rampant like The Plague Aids or cancer, Bernie is the only one holding them all accountable, this is a major crossroads where if we don't choose wisely the damage done will be insurmountable!

Too Truthful Serious & Complicated

The 99% need to come together and fight, seems blue is the new white, we need to let love's light shine thru too tho, I could totally say I told u so, esp if ya'll vote Trump or Clinton in as POTUS, do u even know we reaped and sowed this, with corruption and greed, unable to distinguish unnecessary wants and essential needs, I'm so stressed out, I smoke trees/weed and write poetry instead of engaging in rage to bout, try to use my wits over fists, still working on not throwing pity parties temper tantrums or kiddy hissy fits, some say it's imperative to avoid the negative, stop being so damn sensative, like I'm a light switch not human, what the fuck are u ignorant sheeple doing, we only get one world and life to live, receiving is nice but it's more important to give, shouldn't be too serious or complicated, cuz it'll make u unpopular and hated, the truth hurts them, karma brings shit right back again, please don't hide feeling crabby or crappy, sorry but ur a hypocritical liar if ur only pretending to be happy!

What My Mind's Eye Imagined

The truth is only negative to liars, I don't advertise with commercials nor paper flyers, I use good ole fashioned word of mouth, and like my heart it's big proud and loud, not to mention I've got loads of soul, why's the world and it's peeps growing so cold, has hate won, workaholics neglect fun, we need more vitamin d, trade should be fair not free, cuz nothing can be, except if it exacerbates corporate greed, ain't no magic money tree, it's been repeatedly said and engrained, imagine if we could use the full potential of our brains, wonder if we'd have telepathy, why do u believe ur better than me, tho we're different we're also the same, wish I knew the levels and the rules of the game, life simply sucks sometimes, feel trapped and emprisoned in these skyline confines, when there's a whole other world going on in my mind's eye, no matter how hard I try and try and try, I ain't gonna lie I stay up nights and cry, been struggling overanalyzing why, it just doesn't pay to be the nice guy!

Not Just Change But Progress

I notice a change in me, less negativity, even when it's in my best defense, trying to empathically perceive thru another's lens, I value morals more and common sense, learning most haters are mad at themselves, usually the one pointing fingers needs the real help, we've become numb from just settling for the pc status quo, money means power tho, so now unless u got it, ur a worthless piece of shit, people's judgments shouldn't matter, who cares who's the most oppressed feminine fatter or blacker, superficialism is ignorant and short sighted, stop ignoring intolerance and fight it, question everything, laugh dance and sing, smoke pot instead of drinking, start using our hearts when thinking, the middle class is shrinking to almost nonexistent, the end is perhaps nearer than it appears since time flies by in the blink of an instant, I hope love is stronger than hate, progress will only happen when all unite and fight including blacks women and gays, I don't normally pray, but I have a dream like Martin that humanity finds peace some day!

Super Duper Happy & Finally Fulfilled

U should know I've burned bridges, and made many bad decisions, but I'm only human, really have no clue what I'm doing, lots of trial and error, why are modern times defined by so much fear and terror, money is the root of all evil, I don't know I think it's ignorant sheeple, who always follow never take the lead, don't u hate when ur about to take the stage and u have to pee, seems I'm cursed with bad timing, but the universe makes it up to me with this sick ability of rhyming, even tho I'm consistently a very late bloomer, I look at artists like Sam Smith Harrison Ford and Amy Schumer, who didn't make it until later in life, there's something to be said for keeping the faith in the midst of severe strife, there's no specific time line, is working temp jobs living at home with ur folks at 33 still fine, it's hard not to see the reflection of a failure, hope to have success like Mariah Tupac Beiber or Taylor, hard to see or believe, having a career with longevity, maybe my album will be more epically legendary and colossal like The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill, to tell the truth just doing and pursuing the music I love will make me super duper happy and finally fulfilled!

Where's Our Soul

Dance and techno, suck out all the soul, I wanna open a 420 lounge, where I cld also perform and astound, one night dedicated to poetry and/or hip hop, jazz motown and rock nights and the options don't stop, have a date or couple's romantic soiree, I know I know ya'll are like Joe that's so gay, but I wanna slow dance, listen to soul saangers singing wedding jams, with marijuana infused gourmet food, a sleek sexy suave vibe with class sass and a musical revolution attitude, u are only what u can prove, no one else can walk in ur shoes, be careful what u choose, it's easy to be swindled and screwed, the ignorance and disrespect makes me rude, but honestly, this isn't a democracy, the hypocrisy really bothers me, Bernie's the only one who lives humbly and modestly, everyone else is fucked up sucks and corrupt, apparently sheeple haven't had enough, if ur like me and thought the Bush years were rough, we're silly stupid shmucks if we elect Clinton Cruz Rubio or Trump!

Mini Me Or Just A Pup

Just cuz I hold myself accountable doesn't mean u can defer responsibility or blame, love and life aren't a time bomb or a boardgame, I'm tired of feeling repressed and ashamed, emasculated and maimed, seems most gays imitate dames, use ur common sense or ur tiny brains, somethings gotta give and change, nothing stays the same, I miss the good ole days, doing good deeds never pays, but crime does, most thugs just need hugs, the world needs weed peace and love, when will we toughen up, it's so rough when u don't have enough, too confused from the abuse of lust, bad luck sucks, I could really give two fucks, if ya'll wanna run amuck, but I ain't no ignorant shmuch, who settles being stuck, struggling to earn a quick honest buck, instead of giving me the heads up to duck, maybe get a pup, lightening struck, and my brilliant idea/epiphany..., perhaps it's time to find a wife to make we a mini me!

Perhaps

The Ides of March are upon us, reach deep inside and find the guts, it's almost the death of winter, is there a pill for when u get a splinter, the pharmaceutical health industry is so totally out of control, when did America and the whole globe sell our soul, I blame it on corporations and money, do u think the government can augment the weather hunny, that's right global warming doesn't exist, not just politicians are hypocrites, u have religious extremists, homelessness and welfare programs make the wealthy squeamish, whatever happened to fairness or better yet justice, are we too far gone to somehow adjust this, this election's turned into one giant circus, seems we're attracted to all that masochistically hurts us, nobody is worthless, before I hear ur superficial opinion let's see u shirtless, I work hard to stay healthy and fit, ya'll have no idea the crazy amount of atrocity and insanity I've had to deal with, just pig piled with shit, we need to go wild a bit and learn to admit, life is all about love happiness and fun, stop concentrating so much on who lost or won, what's more important is the journey and the ride, let loose a little relax don't drink instead get high, gotta quit blaming the invisible dude in the sky, it's important to realize most my worry and stress comes from incessantly questioning why, I may have lost u but I didn't die, saying I'm better off without u tho is a complete and utter lie, I miss u, even the bf too, oh well...life goes on, stay strong, it shouldn't be long now, please focus on when and not how, afterall magic is mysterious, but perhaps I do take everything way too serious!
