A Funeral's Greetings
Once again we meet,
I wish it was under better conditions,
Sadness hovers over us, as we come to pay a last visit,
To a relative we seldom spoke to, and barely visit,
We connect our hind-side to the pews,
Greeting each other like close friends, who come to share,
Good news,
The reality of it all, we ignore,
Relatives who should be closer, but sees it as a chore,
We only gather to pay respect,
To a life we really never tried to invest,
Painting a family tree, that's less than,
Its capability,
Hoping this passing be the...

A month later,
The baby almost due,
Waiting on the New Year,
But also her baby too,
Who would’ve thought,
I would’ve made it this far,
She contemplate this,
As her mother and baby sister help her in the car,
Driving down 85 doing 105,
Her mother never drove so fast,
Everyone’s heart beating fast,
Adrenaline going crazy,
They finally reached the hospital,
Where the doctors were waiting patient,
They rushed to a delivery room,
Everyone’s running fast,
THE BABY IS ABOUT TO COME,
Is the thought everyone had,
...

Subliminal
Trying to get a thumbs up,
Yes I crave attention,
Popularity feeds the starving,
Because they're mild-nutrition,
Attention makes them hydrated,
Constant fans leave them salivating,
Education makes them constipated,
Ambition steering the wrong transportation,
Driving a public school bus, not a private car,
Steering passengers right into a glass jar,
Sealed shut, by blind eyes,
Will they ever, see the light,
Or continue to be locked,
In someone's secret life
-L.J.S.

Revived,
Her body feeling complete,
At the Thanksgiving table,
She rose to her feet,
Uttering words thankful for her mom,
Who burst into the bathroom,
And cradled her daughter in the arms,
As her body dangled,
Her mom screams “call 9-1-1,”
As her baby sister runs into the room,
The phone’s dialing in her palms,
Her baby sister’s face says it all,
Reflecting shock, pale skin, cold feeling and all,
They were convinced she was a goner,
Their hearts filled with sorrow,
A baby sister and a single mother,
Two weeks...

Late night,
Her consciousness,
Telling her this is the last one,
She believed herself,
So she sits back and unwinds,
Once again the repetition continues,
And stopping it is neglected,
Looking into the mirror,
And see nothing,
Absence is herself,
And her pulse is another,
The person she knew,
Died a long time ago,
And she didn’t even know it,
Looking in the mirror seeing signs of death
showing,
Searching for her heart beat,
It’s gone undetected,
Laying on the bathroom floor,
Restless…

Pressure of Beauty
She be like,
You don't know what it takes to be,
The prettiest woman that you ever see,
You don't know how much time it be,
For me to look perfectly,
And the pressure that comes,
From looking the best me,
I'm like,
I don't know about your smile,
Tell me about it,
Does it come naturally,
Or does it comes after situations,
You cry about,
I'm like, does your smile,
Hide a deeper you,
Is your beauty a distraction,
From the real you,
Do I believe my eyes and what you telling me,
Or is neither true,
I'm steady...
