why do we lie?
it’s been a while since i cared to not tell the truth.
why do you lie?
are we growing older or wiser?
clinging on to imaginary sunflowers.
yet blooming in different ways.
showing grace.
lord have mercy on our soul.
but if we have been victims to manipulation forgive our trespasses.
if we have been guilty of victimhood forgive our trespasses.
if we spoke the truth with anger and meanness forgive our trespasses.
perspective is important, i speak my truth from my point of view.
yes i’m upset, a father but you left your children for dead.
my father but i don’t need you, but i try to respect you.
my mother was the one to stick by my side.
my mother could’ve left me behind.
yet she put up with me and she is brilliant.
she is the shine.
i got the light from both sides.
you can now try but truthfully you are still blind.
close your mouth, hide your eyes.
you can be 89 and never swallow pride.
they think they are smart, they think they are wise.
well tell me how that’s worked out for you tough guys.
i don’t need you, maybe just my mom, we bump heads.
yet before school her home is where i rest my head.
i paid already, no need for confetti,
bun dun dreddie, long time we ready.
