"A Call To Action"

-
Am a man on a mission,
To be the best, to earn their respect,
That's my ambition.
Am not trying to be someone else,
Am not trying to play a role,
Am trying to achieve my goal.

Growing up, I was never shown compassion,
I was always in darkness, given no direction,
But had to find a solution.
Everyday I saw tragedy,
I was inspired to change my life story
To a comedy; it was hard,
But now I live in harmony.
That's the fantasy.

Every time I read the headlines,
The first word I see is inflation,
And they call that innovation?
They lack passion and determination.

Three hundred and sixty-five days,
And it's still the same rotation.
How many years have we been in this situation?
Always given less, always under domination,
But never able to take action
Over all this discrimination.

Yet they say something but do nothing,
Like that will uplift the nation.
I have heard stories of men and women
Who go to bed with tears in their eyes,
And children go hungry, and they say we're striving.

A nation plagued by poverty,
It's hard to find beauty within.

Am a man on a mission,
Motivated by the struggles of my people,
The pain of the nation.
If I had the opportunity,
I would make some modifications,
But that's just my imagination,
Not really my area of concentration.

As every nation should be built
On a solid foundation,
That's my mission.

"JEWELS"

-
Shining and glamorous,  But none compare's, To the smile on your face,  I wonder why you're not famous. But I'm glad I have you all to myself,  My one, my only, The jewels of the world I have none, By your expressions, priceless. I cannot live without, My dreams, My desires, Revolve around you,  But you do not look too pleased, A sense of uncertainty I see, I can't talk about my feelings, But I try to express them in my actions  My heart, You hold the keys, And I don't know where it lies, So in your hands, I lay my head. Till you find the keys, I'm yours,  Always and forever.

"CONFIDENCE"

-
The evidence of my confidence Lies in my innocence. My area of residence, I give precedences And show acceptance To those with diligence. Have no room for negligence, Show indifference to my opposition. Don't give a damn About the condition. Close my eyes, show no conviction. Walk with confidence In this world, my residence. With an empowered mindset And a silent presence, I stand and watch Those cower in fear. I am reminded Of my past self, Broken and driven By fear. But out of the shadows, A new presence resides. I wasn't born with it, It was something I had to learn, Something I now teach. Though hidden, My confident stride Can never be taken.

"UNSPOKEN"

-
Don't ask a question unless you want a confession. I'm tired of all this aggression. Don't you know my reputation? Look at me, I'm not at my prime, Just trying to pass time. So I write a couple lines, and they say that's a crime. They say I'm wrong, that I should stop singing my song. Don't they know my words are tender? Ain't playing games, ain't a sender. I profess my love and confess my sins. Yet am drowning in my own skin, Trying so hard to be free, Trying so hard to be me, After years of going unseen. Here I stand speaking my truth, Telling my tale, To those in the shadows, Those unknown. Cause I have outgrown, The stage they reside, The pain, Unspoken.
