My Wish For The Future Poem by Laquory Jones

All My Life I was taught to seize the moment
And that each miracle we get is golden
I'm just cherishing them as tokens lately
You can catch me up all night as my mind takes
Flight the hands on the clock striking midnight
I'm catching insight I was taught to be a fighter
I'm still igniting fires
no need for Re-wiring as long as
I have my fire for passion
It's time to take action
While channeling my inner desires
Was it wrong for me to want admiration?
I'll take you all back to the beginning
When I was a child of yearnings
Having cravings for learning
A student of the discerning
But through the cracks I found myself
Descending free-falling never ending
life kept my eyes on the ceiling
In my head I was building something
Much bigger when something got triggered

I'll admit that its been harder to remain humble
In a world no longer stable I was made to stumble
In a world that only tends to further crumble
Life at that time was pulling me under a pitch
Black darkness and beyond yonder lightning cracks
And then I'm feeling the thunder from the people
Who plundered I was then made to wander through
The minds of the people from the weepy and needy
To the Elites and the greedy all searching for
Some type of healing their inner pain's concealing
Locked in concealment with minds locked in containment
My eyes are open because looks can be deceiving
It's your spirit that I am up-heaving and weaving
Going through life alone has never been easy
But never worry because I'm never leaving

I've been labeled a revolutionary in the minds of the people
Just wanting to open a gateway for the future poets and
Teachers in my heart I'm just an artist sinking into the minds
Of the art-less, Are you receiving my art yet?
Will you take the time to listen to my dreams and to what I
Envisioned now a man on a mission to change the world before
He departs, now are you finally visualizing my art?
Together we can embark to a better place as our dreams
Continues to give chase I'm just here paving the way
For a brighter tomorrow and a better today because too
Many people are living in sorrow and constantly dismayed
Will we go down like martyrs who knows but standing up
For the people is what I'm doing for starters in the land
Of the heart-less painting pictures with my mind as the
Canvass regardless even as a child I was brandish a nuisance
Now growing into my own it's been 26 years in the
Making millions of people is whom I'm planning to take along
On this journey so are you evolving with me I promise
That you wouldn't want to miss it changing the world
Is what we're doing no need to debate it changing lives
And living our dreams while becoming stars in the making
