Weather

Skies can seem a brilliant crisp blue Clouds with silver linings, all of them, not just 1 or 2 Then in 1 or 2, everything can change Black and grey, lightning streaks, thunder, eventually turn to rain Hit with pain, I mean against your pane Still it's all the same Weather the storm 'cause just as it came It too will change, rearrange See, nothing stays the same, maintain Because there are plenty of rainbows out there too They come when the brightness comes back and the darkness is through

Prophetic Passage

Let those without sin cast the first stone False kings rising unto thrones Majority in a zone Minorities left alone Every man for himself To achieve wealth Good health is becoming secondary Birth married Till death matrimony Things in the middle be phony For those believing in the pale horseman riding the pony It's all Monie In the middle While the cat plays the fiddle And man jumped right over the Moon Planning extraterrestrial dwellings too soon Or maybe it's too late Status of weather starting minds to contemplate As buildings disintegrate Christians wait Muslim cross thin lines between Love and Hate All we really want is Peace on Earth But are we willing to pay what it's worth As priceless as life is Pulled bids, a better life for our kids Taking Polaroid mementos but not seeing the big picture Never in between the lines only reading the Scripture Love could get cha' Better yet Love's gonna' get cha', Love's gonna' get cha' Unless you detach the fixture Remove your mind from the mixture Political, religious melting pot Or just get blazed when the kitchen gets too damn hot And pray for it all to stop, but you see it coming If you don't, then why are you running Away from being my brother's keeper Being my brother's reaper Pulling down to survive the fall Stepping on to rise above it all What you saw becomes far, distant sense Until He gives you that pinch Wake up, take a look through reflection Getting through the next intersection Questions, seek ye history for an answer Once again, we will be ridded of this cancer For all time, for all this crying For all this dying Even the King suffered at the hands of the vicious Malicious Demonic Evil hands with evil plans drunken off the tonic Why are we on it, this misdirected, infected planet Why would it take lifetimes to understand it The glory of goodness always lies On everything between the meeting of the earth and the skies Spies of Babylonian Holding in Deceiving, make the world believe He doesn't exist If this is true, why is it so hard to convince, makes sense Hell naw, it can't, even through all the double talking Backwards walking Use your brain, or more important your Heart Or you will be slain in vain so tear yourself apart Or continue to entertain, thoughts of the collective mainframe And not feel the warmth of His name Better then any man-made virtual pleasure, whether up or down on high Follower of the Lord, King, and Savior until I die And beyond, promised everlasting kiss of lives No one cries, no one dies There is no need for pills, 'cause there's no more pain And they calling Christ insane Searching for a higher plane Calling on the Son's name A Love sweeter than any sugar cane What part of the game are you playing The war has started, what are you gonna' be Soldier or victim, martyr or a casualty Our own souls are what we're fighting for What the hell you think I'm writing for...

Konfuze, Konfuzed, KonFuZion

Ever been walking on a one way street, things seem to never ever meet Speak, why should I when it seems nobody says hi Or even a head nod as they walk by The earths cry, seeing tears in the Sunrise A struggle to shine light on the beings inside Too much pride, feelings hidden deep Only to erupt when they awaken from their sleep But far too many are far too gone On that same street as before, lost and alone No way to find home, every wrong turn leads to That same one way street that seems to follow you Your crew, when exactly did they disappear Someday reappear Heart trembling with fear as a hopeful light draws you near You steer, but suddenly there's no care to drive Just thanking God that you're still alive But did you really survive, inside your Soul still hiding Waking up to a world where the earth's still crying You still dying, so you can can feel re-borned Left no time to mourn, your thought process still torn And tattered, thought you was climbing up the ladder You didn't see shit coming until everybody just scattered Feeling battered, is there no end But then again... Maybe it's all in your destiny Or do you control it with the choices, making things to be The way it was, the way it is, and the way it could People want to get together but hiding true faces under a hood They should, it's all good, those chosen will disrupt An in the end it will show who really had an overfilled cup What's more, you still going against the grain Not knowing one's self will surely drive one insane There's so much pain, shit everybody goes through You must thought you were special, stress only unique to you But who's been through every thing that's about to come Yet and still you ask where the hell am I coming from So just run and get smacked up by the brick Tried to use your head, ended up just using your dick Just dropping more pollen on the flowers Emotions feeling like a coward, used sex to gain power But now it's more confusing that before Feeling like a bird that's lost the gift to soar A whore, tricked out by what others think about the inner This real life, seems like we all are just beginners No longer a winner, now that's winters going up to seventy And the burning inside takes total control of your sanity Now where you be... All you see is yourself Flashbacks of the pain you caused, others felt A belt, trying to whip you in a new direction And in the end all that's left is a need for affection But sections got cut off during the procedure Now it's seems the student is becoming the teacher Trying to reach a Soul that's been lost in the friction Those close to the edge better take heed to the prediction

Letting Go

Looking at the Light, seeing through the breeze My chest heaves... Leaves a taste of bittersweet fruit from the branch Left me detached Monk-like in my presence Many presents Re-gifted Pre-shifted to places unknown to the ordinary, extraordinary passion exploding Many phase of the Phoenix unfolding Pushed back to compression To bring clarity to the message Placing it neatly in a parable Medicine for the miserable Heal-able gripping on, letting go prayers to Zion, Where we're living on Intruding on dimensions of the mind When we recline Falling in and out of places, sippin' on wine that's tasteless Yet to the blind we remain faceless...

In the Steal of the Night

See it's the mysteries, that influence me To keep writing these, like why are we Neglecting the writings from our collective history Or for matter her story The stories that's been told before but never truly listened to Looked over but the lessons never leaking through The unspoken truths that passed us by The Lost and Forgotten asking why Like "why couldn't you look at me when I asked for change" Changed me into a parking meter with no name Just to hide your own shame But in the still of the night I came Took a lot more than what jiggles And now you're laying in a hospital But you still don't remember "You don't remember me" I tried over and over to ask nicely But charity for you was a bit too pricey All I asked for was a little change And you changed me into a parking meter with no name So I took from you cause I felt you to blame But I'm still starving, just the same And the cause to our effects Sowed seeds of anger and revenge but now it's just regrets It's those seeds that grew into the hate Or was the hate already there... Looming behind you as you walked along Justifying that not helping me in the first place wasn't wrong Mission accomplished, the hate left you alone Followed me while you were safe in your home Told me to take from you the next time I caught you leaving Didn't mention to where my Soul was leading Leading you to pass by me one more time In the very same hospital where we both lay dying Just because you couldn't give me the help I needed without a fight You came back and there were 2 shots, 2 shocked, 2 Souls lost in the still of that night

That Spark

To contemplate the Spark, the magnificent part Like looking into the eyes all the way to the Heart A taste of the Soul Too visual to obtain, too colossal to behold Like small drops of honey from the Sun's lips A psychedelic orgasm that never slips The sweetest kiss, the slightest touch from the smallest hand The imaginary distance between a stranger and a friend Sustenance stored as memories record thin frames that never explain the planes of bliss Subtly missed Captured but never returned, flashes of fire that never burn The place of no concerns, as we rotate but cannot feel the turns A peaceful seat on a noisy train The way a stream teaches us how to maintain A warm blanket, an even warmer smile The thought that someone just sat for a while The contagious laughter, the morning after love connected The pride of just being respected, reflected, protected That Spark seems to project it All that wish for it are instantly affected...

So much to divert while others stay alert Learning to see through the pain, transmute the hurt Watching the first become last, the last become first

Burning Bridges

I'm trying to be that bridge over troubled water... Tired of the separation, the reparations will never surface I'm starting to see I'm the mule tilling 40 acres of service Four hundred years still ain't really hurt us, we too strong in the spirit They calling for leaders but we're too clouded to hear it Too afraid to cross the bridge to get near it, stuck east and west of the Cuyahoga It's seeming that bridge is over Soldiers for Jehovah standing behind enemy lines Battling over territory that's really yours and mine Declined the climb Losing the war over our minds Settling to be accepted, to be infected with virtues of the republican Please learn the true design of this "democratic" government Because see, I was sent, for my words to shake the pillars of the establishment Look inside my heart if you wondering where the Panthers went Or search the inventory of your own soul The Revolution never died, it was just put on hold...

Flipping and Tripping (from my achives; circa 2000)

Pieces of the pie be uncertain Every sunrise, up rise the curtain Of lifelike movie scripts Most must flip To intricate improvise Time flies So does money that's spent Things we do under the dark tint Everyone's done it dirty to keep it mint condition All this tension trying to make a pension When all these hands be pinchin', very few be pitching The ones that does, never last Never dwell on the past Inscriptions... To my major missions On my scroll, can't fold and be divided Process to collect dividends, ends not provided Just ride it, like the silver I've sported Indonesia imported While habits not supported It's not new but definitely ported Recorded on slices of papyrus While others memories, 2000 leagues under the abyss Millennium crisp Seventy-seven thru ninety-nine couldn't miss... Direction, which way is up Being a "Pryor" to get richer Lord, please brighten up the picture...

Sunshine (from Resin EP)

Out of Darkness comes light To make it thru the night Seems so trying See my people are dying Crying out for revolution No leader with a solution Or a clue On what we need to do Prepare, take care of Him blessings Thru all the testings Of wills, spills of alcohol on the pavement Dark tint That seems to cover the streets The sound of death just riding the beat Defeat....never Faith with keep us forever Whatever they do to try to take my Sunshine... See my kind are of chosen, frozen in gridlock Father calling them back but they don't know how to stop This hurting feeling, millions uncalled for...homicide Genocide, crucified Tied down by the shackles of babble Misunderstandings thru the travels Earth to earth, some connected Others misdirected Infected with the worst disease Oh how these unclean, infest the eternal dream Seem like they keep trying to steal my Sunshine... My ray of hope My way to cope My strength to call on When it seems all else is gone When everybody's wrong And you are all alone If you're empty, you have no belief The only relief From this trial of all trials Stand of all stands Understand, those who lie, cheat, and even kill To steal away that very Sunshine... Skies getting hazy World gone crazy From backyard to boulevard Small specks of ultra-violent Time spent in a place Fallen from grace, this place Oh, this place... Angelic melody See 'cause I can still see my Sunshine.... My sweet Sunshine And every night I make it I know they can never take it Away Everyday My Sunshine My sweet Sunshine Music version available for listen and FREE DOWNLOAD on Reverbnation and @ keyokonfuzion.bandcamp.com
