NATURE & LIFE

 
I was born in the ghetto so I sing the ghetto gospel
In a world full of cursed blessings and blessed curses
What do you expect? A bouquet of lilies?
Available is only tinted failure and blemished success
I preach fire but my vocals are cold
But so is the world
A portrait of lies with false answers to whys
Deceiving to the heart yet appealing to the eyes and unbelievably soothing to the ears

Through my life journey
Every single step triggers a dark sketch of emotions
Then I drift to a place of loaded riffles and frozen shadows
Where karma weighs on an imbalanced scale
I wonder where life will take me
I try to be part of the bigger picture
For today is a blur image of the future
Or like Tony at least a stroke of paint
In the final master piece
Gambling with life I got a joker and a couple of aces
The next move is highly lethal, really terminal and totally fatal
But then I appreciate my future is another’s past.


Mama told me,” patience pays…”
The funny part is I paid attention and patience didn’t!
And yea I know life’s a bitch
But why call it life and not a bitch?    
Maybe there’s hope of an epoch
Where tragedy will turn to triumph
Curses to blessings, killers to healers and Hatters to lovers
With allegories of an era of darkness and frozen shadows
Characterised with Themis and Isis holding crooked scales
Peeping through blemished blindfolds
And how the devil screamed for salvation
And give the Children stories to tell.
