I Write (Day Two)
I write/
Like a little kid arguing with his parents/
I write(right)/
When I feel the call./
I write/
And take flight off of the runways of my poems/
Ultimately, words are my weapons/
Like I'm a paladin, my words kill demons, and brings life to others/
But were not in a game, you could never make me say that it is/
Nor will I role-play/
This here, isn't me putting up a facade that looks a lot like my fore fathers/
This is me, taking the baton/
Further than anyone has taken it before/
I turned the 220 meter run into a marathon/
The work of generations before me will not meet a swift end/
So as I write, this sword carving characters, cutting into the canvas/
You have generation upon gereration upon generation guiding my blade/
I will slay the lie, and establish truth in my wake/
And my grave stone will be a MOUNTAIN/
Because my biggest fear isn't that I die down in some hole/
My biggest fear I don't live up to my Fathers work in me/
So for His sake, I write/
