Splittin' Image

·McJurni

Lookin' into a mirror that has been taped together after it's been split into two whole halves, boy meets man I feel liberated and saddened by the good & bad emotions shared by everyone, human to human grazin' every corner on this earth through breathin'my lungs are filled but still I'm gaspin' for air what you see can appear so disbelievin' sometimes existin' makes no sense but it's always the best thing to be alive, am I makin'any sence or am I just fullfillin' the book as Bob Marley said, No! can't be I am livin' proof that there's hope and that's stored in every soul cause humanity needs it Lord! please let me know or am I just missin' the point wantin' to be poetic, on my life What's that I see? as I take another peak at this busted up mirror in front of me hero or villian Amaaandla! strugglin'after the struggle Kaweeetu! what's that I seek? tranquility or wealth one's said to take me to heaven the other one to hell just wonderin' out loud on screen, in print is there really such a God forsaken place or is this just a frightenin'mechanism to keep me in my place Content with the man I am & not over exited by the growin'experience and what livin' is all about lookin' deeper at life got me questionin' a whole lot of things complicatin' the organic experience boilin'on the surface of existance like why are my people starvin' when there's enough of everythin' to go around, blessed with wisdom we regrettedly ignore in our pursued of knowledge just look at that sheep, Dolly and you'll know what I mean forgive me Lord My dissolutionment with the system got me spottin'a splittin'image of myself appearin' in the mirror, two faced imaginatively,one smiles & the other frowns down on my luck, visualizin' my success the excess of confused emotions allowin' me to draw inspiration from somethin' as broken as me thankfully held together by my hopes,believe & dreams functionin' as my metaphorical mask(in')-tape I pull a face and get it double back with no extra charge or expectance I push it out and get an immediate response if only life could be this rewardin' or is it and I'm just missin' the point I'd take this mirror everywhere and hold it up whenever I feel threatened to expose all those parisitin' off my people's impoverist sweat survivin' on scraps for far to long feelin' the time has arrived to break out but the hood makes livin' real tough it's like how can you be safe? when I've got nothin' to eat thankfully life leaves you with more than one choice some just makes the wrong one's ask me and yourselfs, you'd know you always standin' a chance no matter how gloomy it might get all you got to do is to trust and discover yourself believe accept,just be and we will/shall all become splittin'images of the Lord our Savior Jesus Christ,peace....
