I Proclaim

I inhale smoke passed down by my forefathers

Their legacy long forgotten

The fire already subsided

Chains connect no more

People talk of stopping this cycle

How I need to change

So I do not make the same exact mistakes

How can I break what’s already vanished…

“Wisps oh wisps, How I  reminisce of the crisp

the remnants of my families heritage!”

this one statement in stone, how I must atone

To wash bad blood so my kids can grow up

So their kids can grow up

So their kids can grow up

So their kids can grow up

To not live in my hell

To not transgress

To never know of the pain of the old

So my life can be the unknown cornerstone

Long forgotten

The point of no return

I have to be the man to create anew

I cannot destroy what is already destroyed

This is my foundation

My pain will not be their pain

No more cockroaches

No more drug overdoses

My proclamation is not to stop anything

I am a vessel of hope

I have to revive so my family can survive

Foster home to foster home will be no more

I will settle this score

No more courts

No more divorce

I will be the force to not change my life

But to change history

Time is meaningless

I will be here today

Gone tomorrow

My great, great, great, great grandchildren

will wonder why they have it so good

They will not know

That’s what I want

Blessed ignorance

For my bloodlines little ones

Living free from depravity

Enjoying life

Smiling never wondering why

The chain will be strong

The cycle never broken…



Don’t Break the chain…



Scream this and mean it



“My pain will never be infinite
Love will bleed through the ages”
