Dreams

At night I lay awake...terrified
Scared to close my eyes..
These dreams have me traumatized
Visions of me in a wreck...permanently paralyzed...
Watching the evening news
Can paint life in disgusting hues
Hell no...its not all good
Kids dying every day in every hood..
But some of us so damn blind..
Acknowledge the problem but say its not mine...
We so numb
These crimes be so reckless and dumb..
2 year old shot dead...some activist talking bout he has a plan of action
Let's get signs and go march..met with an even lameduck reaction..
Just recently watched the movie 2012..
I'm like what the hell?
Basing everything solely on science
Not relying on the man upstairs at all for guidance..
Not tryna be on the soapbox..
But we gotta believe in something greater than ourselves so kick rocks..
I do my thing..mentoring this young dude
That used to be hella rude
Used always tell his momma she get on his nerves cuz she always bitching
Was never in class...always ditching
Told him this aint the good life ..
On this ride there will be nothing but struggle and strife...
Do something positive with ur life...
Change gonna come...
I'm steady dreaming.....
One Love
