TKO

Technical Knock Out

Go to sleep one arm over eyes

All the lights on TV still blaring

Inheriting parental nods leaning on couches

Good groove early temper flare

Never learned to deal with anger effectively

Challenging self to become better

Surrounded by books magazines newspapers

Vinyl tapes CDs videos pictures

Various forms of media designed

To provide insight side profile PBS

Art of elocution practice BS jive and shuffle

How will you hustle legally

A little thievery just to get ahead

Quicker faster make sure your resume

Stands out from the pile

Qualifications guaranteed by best effort

Superb in ghetto gifted and talented

Now mediocre by college prep

Grind to study greater gain from ultimate sacrifice

Ancestors’ decisions to hold steady

To rocky dreams of mountains tragedy

Fountains of youth’s apathy

All hail illuminati majesty

That controls your powerful path

Where is the happiness during

Those funky cloudy days

Where the path out the maze

Is never absolutely clear

Hold your faith as your passion

Please don’t fall victim to fear in every thought

Behind every blink

Within each inch

Just a pinch is usually enough

Hard to add up when all mathematics

Terribly fuzzy

Who could ever love me

As much as those in closed quiet

20 Clason Point Lane

So much has changed

Hardly much remains except

What occurs between suenos that left you sweating

Regretting everything you never said

All that you wished you could have screamed

Randomly out loud while watching evening news

About a world we barely understand

How much we could do

With the tiny slice we have

Must grab attention with your GODLY ACTIONS

One day you wake up

You are old

How quickly does your VIDA happen?
