Me, Myself, and the World

A spec on a spec in space

Some signs showed me the way

That I could find my place

Hauled by this ball

Along with all

That flies, climbs and crawls

To be born is to be blessed

But to be born ensures stress

And as I write with three days left

I can't help but dread

If I'll fail this test

I'm anxious about what could come next

What lies ahead if events goes left?

What's behind us is already a mess

Nevertheless

I must confess

As I peer in the mirr'r

I just reflect

On what my love expressed

When my Whitt feels dead

And I lie still

Stuck in my head

Push past paths

That are crevasses instead

Just breathe she said

To make my world small

And simple again

The dark of the night

In the chasm of fear

Gave way to the day

Of sun rays and light waves dancing

A haze of ways to chase thoughts racing

A way to find focus

To bat away locusts

Clear the fog

And let the floodgates open

Waves radiate was undersurface

Energy expands

To seek its purpose

Consciousness commands

That I come for'd with

Something that smites swords

Slays shadows and opens doors to

More dangers and treasures

Endlessly stored in

Troves of chances

Not yet explored since

This world's formation

Formed from molten

Minerals sprinkled by stardust

Scattered then slathered together

Combined into life

From the tiniest microbe

Hitching a ride on a mite

To the mightiest mammal

Making mammoth strides

The massive tide of life

Must entice

Organisms to organize

Absorb to grow

Photosynthesize

Consume your prey

And pray for more time

Not always pretty

But the balance harmonized

Humans reorganized

Then gave every prize a price

The power of greed planted seeds

To sacrifice for money trees

Tribes betrayed for trade

Then shipped overseas

Blood money exchanged

Economic masters reign

Slowing the slog

Of social change

Trapped by this act

At 8, I saw that I lacked

The cultural identity

I would have had

My true self in my mind

Is buried in the back

Introspection and expression

Help me find out who's that

Connection with others

Spreads that fact

Which shows myself that

My psyche's intact

I want to array

All that is me

I'm more than I see

I'm more than they think

I'm more than just dust

I believe that at least

The path that I seek

Is greater than me

And that is why

I'll perpetually chase my dream

True freedom for myself

And my people

Right the wrongs of the past

And present evils

Before I leave this world when I die

Or at least leave a legacy that continues the fight

I write, I write

But really what for?

How many moments

Must be lost before

The message is made

With due accord

That life is strife

But we must strive for

All that is love

'Cause love

Is pure
