2 Minutes

It's one in the morning and I just got home
All day around people and I feel all alone
I peep at you while you sleep and
I'm amazed how you've grown
You grasp my lungs when I hear your voice on the phone
I'm so proud that you're my blood, my flesh, my bone.
This isn't how I wanted to raise you.... I should've known
I hate missing out on these parts of your life
I'm just so thankful that your Mom is my Wife
Every day goes by, faster and faster
like a book with out any chapters
I need your smile, I need your laughter
This story will have a happy ever after
Its one in the morning and I'm sad that I see your toys on the floor
2 Minutes just isn't enough, so let's start with 4.........

CHECK NEXT TO THE BOX

The presidency is suppose to represent me?
How can that be?
We are America sea to shining sea!
Landlocked in unity
Immune to mutiny
Left wing and right wing,
What does that mean?
How can there be differences with in a team?
If it were a sports team, it would be made to be a scene.
We need to put our separate views to rest and a check the box next to the
mascot that fits us best.
Who would even what to run for such a mess?
Seriously could our candidates be more worthless?
These upcoming vote will be the test
This decision reflects the future we suggest
I 'm surprised we we can't vote yet by sending a text
What's next?
Have I said it yet? What a mess!!
My next purchase might as well be a gun and a bullet proof vest
This market is stressed from Bush being reckless
I watch the news on CBS and that's all I see is BS......
This is our means of communication.
Nothing positive, just shootings
economic crashes and Bush on vacation
These are tough times that we are facing and yet we still spend money on other nations..
Where is our umbrella in this stormy weather?
Which of the two men will be the one we measure?
When will bi-partisans work together?
Leadership is self-please.
It's here and now... Time is treasure..
We can't complain about what to expect?
Either one elected is due our respect
Change is immanent no matter who we elect.....

Where do I start?

Where do I start,
Where do I finish,
I might as well be the best,
Since I am all in this.
Sacrifice is my vice
is that possible?
The balance between work and family
is my obstacle
Hours fly by and The Days pass
So do the times I miss my Daughter's laughs.
I'm the head of the house,
Yet I am invisible
I see pasta more than I see my spouse,
That is miserable.
I am invincible,
So I once thought,
I am learning hard lessons
from what this life has taught.
I am in this, so I might as well finish

A Pebble in the Road

Running full, ducking time
Searching for meaning in every sign
I date my history in between these lines
This helps bind the rhymes that form in my mind
I Start the day Hustling and begin the grind
Pounding pavement pulling pine
persistently being passionate in my popular prime
I back up and keep moving
I take the punches
I sport the bruising
I won't get choose, cause I do the choosing
Only me against them and there is no loosing.
There are always potholes in life's road
The one less traveled is the one less chose
I trust no one...
I sleep with one eye closed
The one who swallows there pride
is the one that grows.
I care so my sensitivity shows
In life you only get one shot
Sometimes a snap shot is all we got
I have to accept the advice given and teach the lesson taught
Focused now beyound belief
back to reality and never admit defeat
Getting past this road block in life's street
Switching gears to the the mode of elite
It's not enough just to know
It's how I handle this pebble in the road..

Possible Colors

White is noise
Black as silence
Orange is poise
Red as violence
Blue is boys
Green as finance
Yellow is joys
Grey is my chance........

Sizing

If you have heart and soul
then you've had highs and lows
Peaks and Valleys
I've counted, never kept a tally
I just take life so serious
sometimes so scared to be curious
That's when I get furious and let
my inferiors get me delirious.
I have to end trying to be everyone's friend
I awake asking myself what message today do I want to send?
My heavy heart fills my passion into a bottle
while I live life in full throttle
I'm balancing trying to be a "role-model"

I feel all these eyes on me
When in myself,I am looking for a key
to all the doors that slam in my face
Funny we have doors when we all share the same space
If that is the case then what puts people in there place?
Is life really a race or just a chase?

To me life is my wife, my daughter
they are my blood, flesh and water
They are my existence to why I am here
It can't just be this restaurant career

My fear is that day it all comes clear
that I can't control
what comes from my heart
and what speaks from my soul
Every hole in my pocket is easy to sew
All the passion in my veins freely flows

That is my high
Those are my lows.

What are you wearing

I put the roots on to stimulate my brain
I express the world in these lines
that's how I maintain
I'm passionate about people
The news is passionate about pain
It's so laim to hear some people complain
about what other's would consider to be fame
It's a shame. I wonder how can we change?
How about the economy will it ever be the same?
Will the roaring gas prices ever be tame?
Some parents can't even afford to drive to see their kid's game...

What are some people's purpose?
Do they even know?
Most of them are stuck on a couch watching other lives on a show.
Now, how can they grow?

Some leaders of this country are the blind leading the blind.
Their eyes are open, but they refuse to read the signs.
The most treasured jewel we have in life is time.
Every second, every minute and hour.
It is the ultimate power..
Time is what turns a seed into a flower,
a baby to a daughter,
a son to a father....
We Can make a difference
but most won't even bother.

I feel the meaning of living is to be driven.
It's about playing not losing or winning
We need to play every down like it's the last inning
Everyone should rise up.
This world needs my opinion
I'm trying to teach
I don't mean to be be offending
The reason why there are rules is so that people can bend them
Time is the message I'm sending
Motivation is the hand that I am lending
Class is in session so those wanting change please be attending
Lessons are learned from bridges being burned
We need to stay connected
We need to be concerned
The value of life is what needs to be respected
Not how much money is earned
and now it's our turn......
Every woman, child and man... we need to make a stand..
We need to stand for something
Or watch the hour glass empty it's sand..

It's hard some times to stop this thrashing
I'm admitting to being a verbal assassin
I'm just full of passion
I wear my heart on my sleeve like it's the new fashion..


What are you wearing?
