IF DEATH WAS SWEETERA Poem by Aziz LutherYou 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........... © 2014 Aziz Luther |
