Constant Matters Poem by Laquory Jones

I closed my eyes and began dreaming of things like never before
Once I left myself open problems had me wheeling more rain falling from the
Ceiling floor beginning to pour themselves in lately I haven't felt the same
I don't even know when I started feeling this way I remember back when
I began thinking that I can change poetry in fact before everything began
Fading to black I believed it Jack while all in the background my family's
Broken and cracked hold up let me retract help me bring it back all of that
No forget all of that when in doubt block it out shed them tears and all
The things I've bottled up all them years today I'm facing all my fears
You know it hurts indeed when I was left to bleed but I have moved along
Another day has passed and each day it only gets harder it's as if I'm
Treading water Papa's a rolling stone secrets remain so much lies are
Being told as I'm pushed within their center-folds Father please forgive me
For I know not what I do and Lord please forgive me for I know not what I've
Done I found myself constantly put under the smoking gun by everyone

I can't even buy oxygen (none) I'm not even breathing (some) one gasp and I'm done
Twisted words as their spun into orbit while swallowing all this rain as it's
Pouring being force-fed so much garbage that I'm constantly gulping
Slowly picking my poison People collided and colluded blind-siding
Everyone myself included twisting my inner thoughts and added it to their
Pollution Cutting life of evolution in half for their amusement all I'm
Saying is that the Government has always been a nuisance that's why
I've tried to constantly keep my distance from both their existences
And their influences but they both remain persistent
(no one seems to listen and I just conked-out my engine)

Let me bare my soul's intentions cultivating my true extensions and that's not
Even yet to mention all the stuff that I pen in I have taken and yet extended
Hearts upon my sleeves through consistence (Can you hear me knocking?)
Now take every bit of emotions go ahead and interlock them until they're
Spilling into your conscience and you finally connect through my intellect
Letting them intersect, align and integrate because we all hold a common
Weight now I'm upping the pace marching in unison as we chase for
Common change in fact some things I just find kinda strange
How we're easily divided upon race now is not the time for saving
Face in retrospect the government just passed a law that openly
Discriminates I begin to introspect looking back as I reflect
Hoping in time that we can all just press the reset
And people open their eyes to see what I truly vision
So in a nutshell you just have witnessed my mission
