You are not a pawn
Solo necesito amor y paz
Peace absence of tension
No pretending underlying agenda
Ultimatum take it or leave
How happy we are
When we first deceive
Hard to believe
Years evaporate with the quickness
Here you lay
In the midst of rubble strewn
Thrown away discarded
Old memories
Hard to target
Against wooden canvas
What remains after the damage
Unseen unheard mystery
Theory conspiracy all confirmed
Programmed to be part of plan
Don’t violate own code of ethics
What is most required
Your effort opposite of evil
Love can never be lethal
Harboring darkest secret can eat you
Internal inferno
Make it rain journals
Deep discovery
Carrying heaviest luggage
Below tattered portals
Don’t get caught in vortex
Of revenge and envy
We are blessed with plenty
Sufficient you should be satisfied
Sky done cried
Yelled for your yearning
No more yawning
Brand new era of energy
Is dawning
Rejuvenating respawning
Every 7 years
Godly menu
Sampling of select craft beer
World’s oldest beverage
Water and fermented yeast
Demented instinct to keep feeding the beast
Inquire frequently
Where have you been lately
What could you possibly need
To question when passion has been lacking
Clashing of tired titans
Exchanging pleasantries of sweet nothings
Crumbling pieces of cookies
Naïve thesis of rookie
Veteran of boogie down
Polishing shine of crown
While battling colonial depression
Reading Drown and Down These Mean Streets
Where a Nickel Costs a Dime
You could be Smoking Lovely
Seeing a Beautiful Struggle
Loving your Pelo Bueno
En a City that Never Sleeps
La Bodega Sold Dreams
But reality was more often
Puerto Rican Obituary
Stay inspired by Black Statue of Liberty
Singing the 7th Octave for SHE
No Noose is Good Noose
In this Republic of Poetry
Where we Imagine Angels of Bread
Cuba and His Teddy Bear
Better beware of Short Eyes
Give you Capital Punishment
Leaving you Kind of Blue
Searching for a Love Supreme
We ain’t Ready to Die
In this Illmatic innercity
Things Fall Apart
But One Day It Will All Make Sense
