IF DEATH WAS SWEETER

IF DEATH WAS SWEETER

A Poem by Aziz Luther
"

You think, but can't keep it real

"
Saw the gallows and pointing arrows
Towards the shadows
where I stood subtle
Truth is hard to take meaning its hard to swallow
I'm trying to drown in what seems to be shallow waters

Maybe it will be better to choke on quarters
But not while in front of me lies my daughter
Sleeping in her crib with a face of innocence
Not worried about tomorrow as if its promised

My face is full of worries
I trusted no one and no one seem to trust me
Karma always seem to bite me
Until today, I haven't thought of death

And I can't, but i can only imagine
Too many people counting on me
Either to fail or succeed
Waiting to chant my name or crash me as i fall to defeat

It's a dog eat dog so cats survive
Blue pill white pill a glock and a nine
Hard liquor, wait here's a mirror
Screaming babies, dreams of Mercedes can't see clearer

I smile at the thought and dare not to make it a reality
Like a day I choose to walk home rather than drive
On your free time you dream of Fantasia
I see death the size of Asia

It's great, the thought of having it easy
but thinking that way is for the defeated
but when you win...........
