Diem (accusative)

This day was

Just like any other day

This night is

Like any other night

The street lamp light

Weak the way street lamps are

The car, prowling

The way dark cars move and shine

The train horn, tunes

And fades its song distantly

And kittens, black

Flee instantly at the slightest sound

And I am sad, because as I reach for life

It’s already passed

A word’s grasp

Like water on the grass

Nourishing briefly

Flourishing for a heartbeat

Then drying if left untended

In the light of

Day

In a Heartbeat




Here it is
What could you possibly expect
After all this time?
In a heartbeat
In a heartbeat
In a heartbeat
In a heartbeat
Let the rhyme flow bide my time let the thoughts collect then spill my mind child of the wild style and homosapien
I begin again to teach unleash the sweet milk of heartbeat and dancing feet isn’t it neat how near we are and how far across the universe we reach to touch each other’s ears and slake each other’s thirst until the river bursts its banks we give thanks to the One who gave us life and gives us death after our last breath is drawn don’t be a pawn, don’t waste your breath
It was inevitable the scribe imbibed the ink and began to think from where did the light in the lamp emanate? questions lead to questions, lead to answers for what purpose does man serve on this earth his birth must have worth, this living earth must have a song of praise to make the days last
My journey snaked through paths and soon I saw the signs that separate the real from the fake and in my nakedness I clothed myself in lies and deceit imagining a fleet footed quarry might escape from the beast but I was meat and nothing more for the cravens and whores that tore my flesh to taste my soul but no more its war I realize now what I could not before the score is not even men are bleeding and dying, women are crying, babies too, children and daughters, sons, and guns blast the past and future meet and pass in a heartbeat
In a heartbeat
In a heartbeat
In a heartbeat
In a heartbeat
Just consider the fact that you won’t consider a grave digger has made the hole where your dreams will linger and the light of day will no longer play its piano fingers in the morning light in that darkness where your bones will lay so what you say you give a chance to your sisters and brothers, fathers and mothers, forgiveness is a witness, hate a sickness, ignorance a business that you buy with your last dime don’t be a fool be cool don’t believe all the lies they told you in school to rule your mind while you buy their time with your blood tears and interest, in this life you’re the guest be at your best never rest never succumb to be depressed and never cheat what can’t be beat
With a heartbeat
In a heartbeat
In a heartbeat
In a heartbeat
I’ll tell you something that you may find hard to swallow, if you follow me I promise B, that you will be the one and only soul soldier, seeker of truth, impregnable as a fortress and bulletproof from the lies and the scheming, wasted time and dreaming will fade away into the new day when you embrace what you fear and look into that part of you that you neglect just to be you.  Don’t be afraid anymore, rich or poor you know the score and what’s more you’ve committed yourself to achieve what your elders and ancestors gave their lives to bequeath you discreet
As a heartbeat
In a heartbeat
In a heartbeat
In a heartbeat
La ilaha ilallah I proclaim upon the hilltops and fanes, forests in flames, temples and plains and I enjoin upon all who would hear this to believe in his claim without a doubt in its witness his name a mouthful of truth the one and only prophet of youth and of old, of mild and of bold, the one who was foretold Sayyidina Muhammad Alayhi Salat wa Salam whose message was alive and replete, concise and as sweet
As a heartbeat
In a heartbeat
In a heartbeat
In a heartbeat
Free free free free free free free free free
As a heartbeat
In a heartbeat
In a heartbeat
In a heartbeat
