Kicking Dirt
Location
I was made from the dust
I am not young
I'm old as Everest
I don't sidewalk
I street walk
I don't lie in the grass
I tumble on the concrete
I don't tell lies
I write poetry
I don't call her mother
I call her nature
I hate t.v
and talk to the Savior
The sky isn't blue
It's a hue
The color of music
I hate that ra ra ra on the radio
it sounds like the devil talking
So I don't hear it
I prefer not to rhyme
Cuz life isn't like that
I hate facts
But I love truth
There's a difference
I don't dance with time
I like right now
It's all that matters
I don't need sense
I need Amens
Miracles happen by faith
Hallelujah
I talk about heaven
I'll get there
I hate to swear
But can't help it
It's like wearing blue jeans
It's like kicking dirt
I cry sometimes for no reason
I need to remember to feel
I hate skin
I love color
I like it when the sun shines
I like it when people hold hands
A man is not a man
He's a conquerer
He's the friend, the foe, and the stranger
I hate I'm sorry
Nobody means it
I hate I love you
Everybody needs it
without it we're doomed to die
I don't try
I learn
failure doesn't exist
I want bliss
I want my childhood
when a house was a home
and not money
I hate numbers
but I am one
177352
To them I have no name
I take blame
No one ever taught me the difference
I'm not living
I'm breathing
I'll live when I'm ready
1 2 3,
I'm ready
It only takes a second
I'm not changing
I'll change when I'm steady
3 2 1 I'm steady
I'm dying
and I like it
Forever is on it's way
Until then I'll be right here
making history, writing books,
Singing songs, kicking dirt.
