When? (A Headroomination)

My past is fractions

of seconds behind me;

my future fractions

of seconds ahead.

My present is in flux

between those two inside my head.

Who and what am I

seem more simplistic answers

than: When?

Remember Me

Remember me with:
Compassion in your spirit
Respect in your eyes
Love in your hearts
Empathy for my wife
Honor on your lips
Truth in your throats
Fire in your bellies
Inspired by works I wrote
And this life will be
Well worth the time I spent here

Their Language

I cried out in my native tongue

and they ignored me,

so I spoke to them in theirs. 

Now they hear me

loud and clearly

even over the crackle of flames

and gun shots,

because they only understand 

their own language.

Don't Waste Your Breath!

You cannot have a dialogue with those who spew out monologues. STOP trying to explain your position to those who WILL NOT listen. When you are blue in the face you are already dead in their eyes. Eff' em!

Extraneous Thangz

Allow me lighten your load –

the burden of your curiosity.

Yeah, we were boys once –

two of three amigos,

so I harbor no animosity toward you,

my once and former brotha.

THAT would require I care about you

one way or the other,

and that just is not the case.

All of it is in the past –

our dozens laughs

the blunts we passed

so I’m only indulging this

because you asked

our third amigo how to invite me

to your impending nuptials.

Bottom line?

We ain’t friends…

(likely, never will be again)

I’ve no desire to attend,

‘cause I’d only be fakin’ the funk

when I’m trying to live genuinely.

Embracing my principles of honor.

Real talk, dude.

I don’t hate you –

I’m indifferent,

and the difference is significant.

The former is all consuming;

the latter not even amusing

enough to entertain.

I gotta let go of extraneous thangz

and folks whose interests do not pertain

at all to

my

well-

being.

Try it sometime…

It is spiritually freeing!

Peeeeaaace!
