Just the Start

You see I like to talk about the human condition

The twists and turns, the utter gut of what we call intuition

To be more ourselves, for some that’s dangerous as hell

Our very life force called into a question

I like delving into my mind, your mind, our mind into obscurity

I dig so deep that I need a remedy

a self-help book that cost 9.95

for living your truest self doesn’t ever come free

Let light lemon drops grace my tongue for I am thirsty

I am hungry to explore what life has for me

I should have built wealth in the womb

and invest my new-born riches to avoid generational poverty

If my people are truly free then show me

I learned long ago one not need eyes to see

Words, sounds, trembles carry different traits to carry the same weight

For even stray cats think they’re free

This is the direction with my life I have sought

People are interesting, filled with emotion, dreams, and thought

This poem here is merely introductory

Be mindful that what you read is not just your thought

for the art of poetry is a form not easily — explained

Behind The Scenes
