Just a Man


I’m dark,

But that doesn’t mean I haven’t seen ‘the light’

I’m black, guess I could use some shading of brown

I don’t go wrong with balancing… sometimes

I’m a mathematician

I do percentage ratios to blend, and probability

The reason all the things I believe in, live in the future

My wife… my kids

I see them share the joke of how I can’t swim

But that doesn’t mean I haven’t been to the lake waters

The shores are no different from the Ocean’s

They are soothing and calm like I always like

I have preferences… similar preferences

For women and cars,

I like then pretty dark, comfortable and high

But at times,

I feel like there’s need for speed and some little attention

Or maybe too much, just like my tribesmen

Shy as I am, I have been a wing man

The best man at an invites only wedding

And so romantic to make dinner for my woman

At least… once in a while

I smoke… Fish,

But Kush makes me normal…

I’m a man, just a patient wolf
