I know I stated that I write more than rhymes sometimes before. Well here is something I wrote down thinking at work....
Having visions of a good life
Then reality comes right in
See myself knocking at the door
Please can I come in
No past due bills
Or final notices
Is this the good life
Well I hope it is
All I want to do is make it
Take care of my family
My idea of riches
Isn't purely vanity
Materialism isn't everything
Because the people around you
Usually judge you
By what surrounds you
So while you look dapper
And your family is still strugglin
They make your riches seem dirty
Like you were hustlin
Lets get intricate and complex
Break it down a bit more
People that have money
Don't want material things more
The poor people feed them
While they starve theyselves
While the rich man can't hear
If they need help
Not even a thank you card
For buying their products
Just a receipt and warranty
For buying their products
Maybe this is too deep
For some to understand
This is just complex thinking
On my road to being a man...

Complex Thinking

I Write Poetry Too....
I was writing this on the train while listening to Erykah Badu's song Telephone. I love that beat. Its so mellow and smooth....
You smile at me, copying my moves
Excuse me miss, sorry to be rude
I see you looking at me, from across the train
By the way my names kwan, I know I'm on your brain
Pulling out your lip gloss, to get my attention
That clear looks good on you, shall I mention
She's looking at my lips, I think in my head
But as soon as I think it, she says it instead
But I'm thinking to myself, I can't juggle
And I love my woman, I don't want no trouble
so I smile turn my music up, I have no intrest
This is normal for me, almost like business
The reason I can't cheat, is because they fall in love
I guess the addicts weren't lying, when they said sex is a drug
I used to call it blow, cuz that's all they did
Got older called it crack, because they fiend for the kid
Kissing is a gateway drug, because it leads to more
And tounges are heroin, because they could make you fall on the floor
And if you don't get it for days, you'll have withdrawals
Can you relate, come on yall....
Its sweet bliss when you meet anothers lips
And even if your with someone, you inquire about another kiss
But you know you can't do it, because you can get addicted
And if peer pressure is involved, your problem will never get solved.
Damn....
