"Amazing Grace..."

"How...Sweetly sour the sound..."

"how sour..."

 



Amazing Grace

-4 all the genocides while nations of power stood aside

-4 all the livestock led lives, led to that butcher "Pride"

-To all the baby's holdin guns
 at a early age,
 using that steel to direct their rage.
-To all the families with family
 illegally caged.
-4 the next generations of our
 daughters being broken in
 by family and so called friends.
-To the bullets
 that were the last
 to touch our loved ones.
 leaving our streets stained
 with there red rain.
-All the women
 livin under the heel of control

with violence as the silencer
-4 them dead beat daddy's
 that pump, pump pass
 leavin their Johnny apple seeds
 in some new a*s
 but never want 2
 come off that cash.
-To them f***a's steady
 passin disease's
 to our sons and daughters
 knowin they got it...
-All the families
 around the world
 that have 2
 drink dirty water.
-The babies, friends and families
 that got caught up in
 America's War on terror.

Amazing Grace...is my current sate.

Now...
There was a girl
who...
someday
could...hold the world...

THE...WORLD...

in her palm
but she was only
able to see her esteem
through...
the
reflections...
the
house of mirrors
of the
next mans...eye's.

supplied with a
angelic face
that stood out in any place
my...first
Grace.
how Amazing.

  sensuous vocals
could
tickle your ear lobes
have you wishing
she'd get a little closer
givin you...
more of that
honey neck
nectar

wish she would've
stayed a virgin
but to many suitors came her way
with intentions of tenderizing that veal.
must've been that
Sex Appeal, "Baby Face" whip appeal

Actually...
heard about her
before I caught her in my eye.

walkin the block
one of my guys yelled out
"Yoh!! Joe there she go"
"who"....
"Grace".
Broke my neck quick
she had a...
baby Jessica Rabbit.
I think back....
"Lord have mercy.......what a waste".

It took a......
man an some
gender peer pressure
to introduce her
to...
weed and hard liquior.
Damn Devils knew
(A.F.A.) affection for attention
was a young girls affliction.
so they...
pursued there endeavor
to...
weaken her inhibitions.
so she...
traded her
womanhood 4 attention.
then her...
2 other sista's
fell in line right behind.
3 black girls lost
before they got a chance 2 start.
all because no one taught Grace
there's more to her face
then her...
cherry D.S.L's
2 breast...
her ill "V" neck waist & tail.

Felt animated
like that fox
thats never been to the city
when she came around.
Oh... & of course
I feel in line with the rest of the hounds
lookin to give a flesh a pound.

Now...
rumor told
she had multiple train conductors.
but that
fazed me not.
caught her at a party one night
thinking it was safe
cause my girl had just took flight
20 minutes ago.
got caught up 4 it
but thats another story.


wound up walking her home
thats when I saw her...

"Color Purple"...

How...Beautifull...

instead of that...
"Purple Rain"
she was steady
splashin in.

got past her physiology
saw she wanted 2 be
more than someone's
"Darlin Nicky".
took time to treat her...
like a woman
not a thing.
actually listen.
walked on the left
2 shield her from the street.
good conversation ensued
got 2 her place
gave her a hug
watched her walk in
2 make sure she was safe.
a smile took control of her face.
a couple weeks after
heard Grace dropped out of school
with a second baby on the way.
then half a decade later
her baby's daddy...
was pimpin that a*s
hard around the Blvd.

thats life...scars...

Another black woman lost
and the children
are left 2 pay the cost.

I guess you can say
she never realized
that their between
her thighs
lye's a jewel
not a tool;
sought out &
most commonly used
by fools.

what a...State
4...Amazing Grace.

Grieving 4
Rampant, & random
Acts of
Crime
Everywere

-I'm giving
Amazing Grace 4 all the ladies having baby's
riding that horse, sippin on bottles of
courage an letting that Tobacco and rock
rott them out.
-Baby's havin baby's A.G.
-To that cool cat from school, who caught
one in the brain, all because his guys wanted to
false flag in the wrong hood. A.G.
-To T.J. I've known you every since we were
in P.J.'s. Yeah we grew apart but it still broke
my heart and tore me apart to see you in that
casket.
I miss your potential and heart... A.G.
-To my daughter Cheyanne who didn't make it
to her 9th month so we could finally touch, (mmmwha) A.G.
-To all the people putting holes in someones else's
dreams. A.G.
-To all the families that are happy to eat twice a week,
and would rather sleep in a car than lay in the street.
use your imagination 2 escape your pain,
but please keep your mind, nose, and veins clean. A.G.

This is dedicated to you...And all the Grace's across the globe.

I think forward and back Grace could leave a trail of tears across my face...

 

Grace is a choice, not a fate



Amazing Grace...is my current state....

Ahhhh...
I am soooo all over this ! i took it in again ...and i truly believe ...you have not ONE but TWO very effective scribes here..the 1st and last leg of this piece together would make a powerful commentary ...of much negativity thats real as rain...the center prtion about Grace - the person is not objective but subjective and makes the piece become disjointed and distracts from the flow... ( personal opinion here ) al in all my kind of write ...I love all that it says ...( although i understand cursing and negative nomenclature in this scribe and i am NOT here to judge...I'm never a fan of it )
I beg u to reconsider splitting it ..
i might add...intriguing formatting thrown in as well...only a few typos for such a longpiece
( four fingers an a pen poetry )- flippin luv that

your comment reminds me of a scripture ( it is my signiture in my email )-" The power of life and death...is in the tongue..."- proverbs 18:21 ...so watchout whatcha say hun "

no idea why ...u wante me...2 read it..but my pleasure
