melodic Tears

I wish you would have sang this song six months ago
wrote me a letter
a poem
or this captivating song
instead we went about things
horribly
messily childishly
brutally wrong

How disconnected we've been
and I'm grieving for you in many ways
my lover
my brother
my protector
my teacher
my friend

There has been no peace in this space for many days
and the battleground between us
been like
the battles in Najaf
or Fallujah
and with every note u sing I feel I don't want to lose ya

my tears are in sync with your melody
my love my soul but I must go
if only you had sung that song six months ago

High Hope Sleep

No joke
from a dream
I awoke
still half black
still half latino
still half lost
still broke
hope???
not really
i guess
nope.
well
I hope
God is in that next fifth of hennessy
I hope God
is really there Sunday
cuz
Monday
Tuesday
Wednesday
Thursday
Friday
Saturday
is killin me
hope
...
I hope this is some good dope
cuz without it can I cope??
Nope
Hope whats that really mean??

In my genetic memory i still hear King
I still feel the people sing
Let freedom ring
Let Freedom ring
musta rang at an inaudible decibel
cuz in the world I live in
i dont think we heard a thing


I know the man bought a message
but today I
see a mess

hope I dont know
can I cope??
Nope

Sex
or dope
how bout both
??
Let out the smoke
watch it seductively float
there goes my high hopes
then I drift off to a state
of sleep to escape
.....hope....
someone shoulda told me the only way to live the dream


is to be truly awake
