I'm not....

This came to me about an hour ago while i was in the shower. Got out and wrote it down immediately. I hope its not too bad.

I'm not a poet
I sure as hell ain't a rapper
I just try to put one and two words together
Try to make em rhyme
You know, makes me feel clever
Then back to hoping
It's not a lost endeavor

I'm not a devil
I sure as hell ain't a saint
I just try to obey the lords commandments
Try to do things right
You know, makes me feel holy
Then again to wishing
I never have to folly

I'm not a bush man
I sure as hell ain't a gentleman
I just try to do right by the ladies
Try to make em feel good
You know, makes me feel cool
Though sometimes i feel i'm taken for a fool.


 

Let em talk

My first ever attempt at writing poetry. I put this together when i was in T.I Ahmadiyya Secondary School in 2003. Just found it deep down somewhere in my stuff and i thought i should share it. Hope you like it.

Let em talk

let em talk for i fear not
let em talk, for it tickles me not
whispers in the air at the sight of me
hatred in their hearts when they hear of me
but not an atom of hair is taken off me
so let em talk
its the worse they could do

let em talk until their tongues are rotten
let em talk until their throats are choked
let em talk after all who cares
mere anger is the most they could bear
let em talk for it all comes to naught

let em talk as much as they can
let them talk, for tire is all they achieve
tongues that stop at nothing but to slur
eyes holding onto my tail
for what they seek, they best know

let em talk, useless they are
after all, i hear not.
