Somewhere soon,
a brother will not fall to calling his other a hoe
a glistening kiss with a flower for paving their way to go;
Somewhere soon,
a revolution will rise with the solution
and consume all of the hatred that’s grazing with disillusion;
Somewhere soon,
a man will die and yet another one will be born,
while one family rejoices, another one yet will mourn;
Somewhere soon,
the sun is shining and too will be defining
the darkness enveloped on another’s timing;
Somewhere soon,
a woman will lay her womb down for an abortion
due to political-mental contortion and real distortion;
Somewhere soon,
someone will hit a run n’ gun full court buzzer beater,
believe me I know the feeling, there’s nothing sweeter;
Somewhere soon,
a fiend will take up what will be his final shot
his final shot to make it right and that’s all he’s got?
Somewhere soon,
some emcees will be heating it up on the microphone
with tight rhymes that are so ill that even haters cant leave it alone;
Somewhere soon,
two people will join bodies to the tune of love’s beat
to make a night of togetherness feel complete;
Somewhere soon,
yet another grown man will run from his responsibility
don’t make it if you can’t take it, you feelin’ me?
Somewhere soon,
little grandchildren listen to tales of whales, fish scales and villains,
they’re minds are so free- give them ‘til 12 and it’ll hit it’s ceilin’;
Somewhere soon,
laughter engulfs a person from brain to toe
maybe you’ll be lucky and it’ll be you, you never know;
Somewhere soon,
a head will rest on a window pane filled with lead heavy dread,
the road’s been bumpy and God knows what lies ahead;
Somewhere soon,
curiosity will finally kill that cat,
whoever thought that it would have ended up just like that?
Somewhere soon,
a picture is taken and memories to be cherished are made
while the pictures may fade with time, the mental imagery’s here to stay;
Somewhere soon,
tragedy strikes in places so undeserving,
the death and destruction fluctuation’s unnerving;
Somewhere soon,
a poet will strike it up with the pad & pen
to make a perfect blend like I did here once again;
Somewhere soon,
the rhythmic prose will come to a close
abruptly, if so chose...
Somewhere soon.
