Amongst Us

We are bestowed by silence

creating life with bad experiences

exercising rights, it’s our right

to be silence

here to be deaf 

the mystery

in our actions

that shows us our history

repeated

recruit more of ourselves

onto a white sheet of paper

and give it color

draw someone drawing someone

drawing someone

put a line across

so that we can get to the other side

the blinking lights in the sky

keeps man thinking

who is up

and how far down we are

teaching breathing to the lung

and muscle to be strong

refusing to consume nutrition

because it’s not proper

it’s for the indigenous

today the mind will not wake

refusal of the ignition

nothing will burn

but we die when fire is born

We die with water in our lungs

we die singing the song

    Blup, blup, blup

And after the passing is when we lived

because that is the meaning of life

“to have experienced”

so once more, we graduate

but man cries at my wake

They know they will be missed

but pour champaign for my success

can’t be self, don’t be a fish

don’t be both

because they will rest in peace

if It’s all the same,

peace will rest in us

they still live

but to see us, we must look into 

our memory

then we can laugh at what they did

and cry at what did us

The end of a part of us

Reach for the cognac

Sip the dry wood tasting liquor 

Then muscle it

So that I can bottle it up

He now controls his feelings
