The Answer

"Am i scared to die?" You ask me
Well, I am i must confess
In answer to your question then
A honest answer "Yes"
But ask me "Am i scared to live?"
Then this is my reply 
"I'm more afraid of living than i am afraid to die"

Masterpiece

If i had a gun right now
I'd show you how I'm feeling
Reveal the thoughts within my mind
Once sprayed upon the ceiling 
It might not tell you very much
Though all is on display 
This art of mine a masterpiece 
Of how i feel today

A Psychiatric Thought

 I came to you for help
Begging, pleading, needing, bleeding
You fobbed me off with pills prescribed 
Through your professional gaze 
You spoke to me in jargon 
Then you sent me on my way
I took your pills like clockwork 
Which then left me in this daze 
So now i ask you this...
If i should kill somebody now!
Would it not be your fault?
You never called me back!
Appointments promised didn't come
Just more of your damn pills
Would you not be the responsible  
For my drug crazed attack? 
I will leave you with this darker thought
While you carry on with others 
Who pretend they have a problem 
So they get their benefit 
And all the time you spend with shirkers 
My mind plays a little game
And as i sit here waiting 
Personalities may split

Oh, Jah. I Want To Be Positive


Oh Jah, I want to be positive 
I don't want to be negative 
Oh sweet Jah, I want to be positive 
I don't want to be negative 

But I have seen the white man, he hunt us down
I have seen my people run
So many black man brought to ground
From many white man gun 
I ask you Jah, I need to know
Why we live in fear?
Did not creation born this man?
Did not Jah bring us here?

Oh Jah, I want to be positive 
I don't want to be negative 
Oh Jah, I want to be positive 
I don't want to be negative 

But i have seen the fear in black man eyes 
I have known much of his pain
I have stood my ground so many times
But knocked down i again 
Yet you are here, you with me always
I keep you here within 
Where white man cannot find you then
As he not touch my skin 

Oh Jah, I want to be positive 
I don't want to be negative 
Oh Jah, I want to be positive 
I don't want to be negative 

You gave us herb that grows from earth
Yet white man criticize 
He make it bad yet his tobacco 
He does legalize 
We born his slave, we never free
We taken from our home 
Without you Jah, i ask of this
Would i not be alone?

Oh Jah, I want to be positive 
I don't want to be negative 
Oh sweet Jah, I want to be positive 
I don't want to be negative
