“AT YOUR HANDS”
I….
DON’T WANNA DIE,
I DON’T WANNA DIE SO MY HANDS ARE RAISED…. MY HANDS ARE RAISED TO THE SKY – I,
WANNA MAKE IT HOME TO HUG MY KIDS, RAISE MY DAUGHTERS AND SONS TO THE SKY,
I NEED TO GROW INTO THE MAN, FURTHER AND FARTHER THAN WHERE MY OWN FATHER STANDS SO MY SON CAN BE FAR FROM WHERE I AM,
YET YOU ASK WHY!?!?
LATE NIGHT NIGHTMARES, WORRIED, YES I FEAR FOR HIS LIFE – FOR THEIR LIVES I CRY,
WHAT MORE I CAN SAY, SHOW, GIVE, SAVE THEM ALL FROM! BECAUSE I DON’T WANT THEM TO DIE BEFORE I,
NOT READY FOR THE CALL, NOT READY FOR A KNOCK NOTIFYING ME OF SOME BULLSHIT REASON THAT WE HAVE TO SAY GOODBYE,
PARENTS BURYING THEIR KIDS NEVER THOUGHT THIS WAS THE ORDER OF LIFE – HOW DOES THIS APPLY?
IF I LOSE ONE I CANNOT OBTAIN ANOTHER FROM A STORE AND BUY,
WITH YOUR ORDERS I DO COMPLY,
STILL YOU SEE THAT AS A LIE,
PULLED OVER FOR REASONS WE DON’T SEE EYE TO EYE,
KNOWING I’VE DONE NOTHING WRONG AND NOW MY DESTINATION HOME IS PROLONGED UNREASONABLY I SIT AND SIGH,
YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO PROTECT AND SERVE – BE MY ALLY,
YET WHEN YOU APPROACH MY SOUL MAY NOW BE FORCED TO FLY,
WHAT ABOUT OURS, YOURS, THEIRS, AND MY,
PICTURE ME LEAVING AT THE HANDS OF THY,
ALL THIS TO MOST USED TO MYSTIFY,
NOW ON TRIAL AND SET TO TESTIFY,
ALTERED REASONING SIGNIFIED,
ONLY TO FIND OUT YOU WERE UNQUALIFIED,
MY FAMILY PROBLEMS AND ISSUED GET MAGNIFIED,
THERE IS NO TIME THAT WILL HEAL OR RECTIFY,
EMOTIONS AND HURT JUST INTENSIFY,
I BECOME APART OF AN UNWANTED ALUMNI,
NEVER TO BE REMEMBERED, BUT OFTEN SPOKEN OF TO RECLASSIFY,
LIFE GOES ON WE ALL ARE PREOCCUPIED,
THE INTERNAL ISSUES JUST GET PERSONIFIED,
MY FUTURE, YOUR FUTURE CANNOT BE SOLIDIFIED,
GO AHEAD AND TRY,
TELL ME YOU’VE VERIFIED,
LIE,
DEMAND TO DESTROY BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY WITH LETHAL WEAPONS SUPPLIED,
MY GOAL IS TO HAVE MY FAMILY BEAT THE ODDS AND DEFY,
I PRAY THAT ALL OF MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS AND FAMILIES OF THOSE I DON’T KNOW HAVE THE SAME GOALS AS I,
ONE LOVE.
