A Poet's Purpose

July 3, 2016
Many of us are misguided by everyday lies. Never told to shoot for the moon and to illuminate the the night sky. We are told to die. Lay 6 feet below sea levels as if death was the only purpose for our existence. Definitions to the word anomaly when we show resistance. When we cultivate words from our lips in order to speak the language of truth. Rather than using a 9 to eliminate. Our tongues aim for your heart to create. Our purpose is to speak into you a human connection. Provide correction. Pave a way for misconceptions to exit. With our distinct use of words metaphors flow wisdom as if water falls from cliffs with imagery of vibrant colors. Tools enabling us to teach lesson to those who are searching to find thru the messages we preach like Sunday morning pastors. What are you going after? Mr. Desance what is your purpose are attempting poetry? Your not even a bonafide writer! Who are you? That same kid who wrote down lyrics when you were 13. That same kid who had dream of being a rapper but with no skills! What exactly are you trying to do with your attempt at poetry? MY GOAL IS TO CREATE CHANGE. To be a light in these dark days in age. Why poetry you say? Because the power of life and death are in the tongue and if I can speak life into a valley of dry bone rename me Ezekiel. This God given talent was given to kill, any opposition using chains to bind our minds and that any kind of weapon formed against us that we find in our way will never prosper. The purpose of my diction is to fulfill a mission called the great commission. Fighting every lie with truth whether I'm in the streets or in a studio booth. My purpose is open minds heart and souls and introduce them to something better. That with God they can make it thru whatever. I'm just an instrument use to do greater thing and that's this poet's purpose. As I continue to display truth oppositions throw at me curses. I stand at the height of Kevin Hart as many laugh at my pain. I carry a thorn on my side as I preach to die is to gain. I do it all just to obtain a lost soul going insane because they have no one to relate to. So with my words I undress myself and become transparent to you. My purpose is to show you purpose so that you can find purpose then go rehearse it. I'm speaking to the broken, and the lame, the ones who are hiding in their shame, the ones who where afraid to call on Jehovah's name. I'm speaking to you. Show me what you were meant to doing this life cuz I just showed you.
