All Things Are Conditional
You are setting yourself up for disappointment
I try not to ever have expectations
But people ask me to trust them
I think they ask me to trust them to see if I will only
They definitely have their interests in mind
Which is not a bad thing
Its just not an honest thing
The reasons behind anything that they say to me is the conditions
I love you if you do this...
I love you if you do that...
I mean this to you if you do this...
I meant this to you if you do that...
I am secure enough in myself to not need conditions
I don't need you to be a certain way to me for me to be a certain way to you
I know all things are conditional outside of your children
So I don't place people in situations where they have to feel uncomfortable
I'm not closing my eyes while I am intimate to not fall deeper into anything
I'm not playing games with my space and or feelings
I'm not into saying I can help you, but under these conditions
I don't do that because I represent myself and my children
I already have disappointed them enough in the past
When will I take responsibility and do what is best for them?
When will I take responsibility and do what's best for me
My life is ending
Their life is beginning
I am their hero until they can evaluate me amongst their other heroes
In a while I may not fly so high
My cape may not be so brilliant
My strength will definitely diminish
And my all knowing brian will pale inside of the new world they will discover
I love them
And I need to remember how to truly love myself
All things being conditional....

I Love Them Both
My mind plays tricks on me
When I think I need to give up it pushes me on
When I think I have done all I can do
It lets me know I still have more in me
It helps me to ignore the maliciousness of those closest to me
The jealousy and envy they hold
When I feel I still have nothing
Slipping between the seconds as they get closer to infinity
I stand on small stones of resiliency
Holding the small ground I raised my expectations on as my island
Staying afloat to look like a mirage
Drink of this potion and intoxicate your life with my spirits
Hallucinations make people think they are perfect
Perfection is the final stages of life when there is no living left to do
It rests in smiles of children that really only love
Rarely know hate except in words repeated from adults they believe in
My mind plays tricks on me
Telling me I can no longer believe in men
I have to loose the "n" and only believe in me
Superficial is the love of a person that is still angry and won't forgive you
Won't ever let you grow from your old self and skin already shedded
Heading for a finite position
I now understand
That my mind is my best friend
I need to embrace her willingness to love me
Intermingle her sound judgement and fidelity
And weigh it against my self
For he still is basking in arrogance
And afraid to ask for direction
I am more akin to him than my mind
So presently
I still am lost
But one day I will listen to her and find my way
I love them both as I love myself

Afro Blue - Pick My Brain
In I go indigo never ignorant
Indiscriminate anti-indigent ingredient
Militant when muted
Mind unpolluted
So I remember my heart beats
Like a djimbe or Congo
From the horn of Africa
Blown into the rhythmless Americas
On ships i rocked
Made waves
As we paved ways of free men
Forced to be slaves
Escaped and became indian braves
Buffalo soldiers on angel wings
Leaving angel dust
Showing open toed footprints
Walking away from culture
I represent the melanin of many men
Running from the fed and state pen
Where they try to say my kind will be ending
Unless we pretend we don't represent
Where all life begins
At the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro
Follow why they know all of I be related
I be Lucy's blood relative
The Hottenot female with extended rear
That shadowed over her path
Scrutinized by strangers
But Mendel let your secret out
Genes don't get darker
They get lighter
When mixed
They dilute in strength and content
But worse than humanity
It hurts and hits harder
When it affects the mentality
The Black Man Fallacy
My wealth has to be stealth
My health depends on how i resist
And look like I'm conceding
Bleeding you slow until unconscious
I stay conscious
Waiting on my opportunity to strike
In the name of my ancestors
I stay restless
Kum Apem Ah Apem Beba
When you kill millions
Millions more will come
