FS#9: Mad World

You see the rich getting more well off
The poor will never rise above
In a city such as New York poverty is still a problem
Growing up in hoods that can either make or break them
Once they make the wrong turn that's their whole life
Surviving the times, never cared about wrong or right
Outsiders only know the nice views of NYC
They can't see pass the lines of pity
Homeless people on trains is the place for them to be
No one willing to lend a hand what a shame to see
Police brutality, that ain't nothing new
Our protectors against us, exceptions of a few
If only I had one wish I would wish for true equality
No such thing as rich or poor just me equals you, you equals me
That will be the perfect equation
When we help each other without any hesitation

FS#8: What If...

What if minority became the majority?
Would they be treated the same in this society?
What if there is no discrimination?
Will people look at each other with eyes of separation?
What if everything is false about our economy?
Would people live in fear of having no money?
What if there was no such thing as money?
Instead we pay with our trust
Believe is a must
Forget about lust
Exists only true love
What if dream and reality can coexist?
How will we live our lives then? A hit or a miss
What if there was no such thing as war?
Will peace be what everyone is striving for?
What if I am you, and you are me?
Would we be in the same path as we supposed to be?
What if there was no telling from right to wrong?
How can we judge people from what they have done?
What if everything that went wrong really didn't happen?
Only if that could be true then people wouldn't be second guessing
What if there isn't any what if...
Can my imagination be as wild as it is...

Chapter 14: Closure

So when you are really upset/sad/depressed what is your therapy? Some people smoke; some people sleep; some people eat; some people shop. I usually blast my music and drift away... to another zone; write rhymes; and workout. So the first time she said goodbye to me, I did all of the above. That did put me to depression for a bit though. Now on the second time around, what should I do?

After half a year of avoiding/ignoring me, she finally hit me up. I was very excited but yet nervous at the same time. You know, like the first day of your new job. It has been so long since we last spoke, I didn't know what to say. So I gave her the usual greeting phrases like "how have you been? How is everything?" She answered, "good." Cold and casual. But I was cool with that. Little did I know what followed.

After the short greetings the real show started. So here we are, back to square one once again. Apparently this time it really is goodbye, strangers again. She needed a closure so she could move on with her life. Her final words to me were "please delete everything." I guess this is what's best for her... and I respect that. I have no other choice but to let her go... What ever makes her more comfortable.

So she says in time my memories of her will be fading away if not already gone. I don't believe that. All the physical evidences might be gone, but the impact it had on my life will forever remain. I may not have the best memory, but what we have been through were already tatted into my brain and heart. I will let her go, but I will also be holding on. Letting her go by leaving her alone. She keeps on doing her own thing and I will still be me. Holding on to the memories that we had and the experiences that we been through. I will not forget you, that is a promise that I will keep.

I am sorry, truly and sincerely, for all the pain and trouble that I have caused you. Now go on and live your life to the fullest, exactly what you deserve. I wish nothing but the best for you and what is ahead of you. I will always be here for you when you need a friend. With that said, my status that had been up for half a year can now rest in peace.

I came across this young talent from a friend. He did a cover for B.O.B's Nothin' On You and called it Nothin' On Me featuring JVoQualZ (pronounced as J vocals). When I looked deeper into this artist, I found another song that is really interesting. Here it is:
