Comfort Quote
Power (Spoken Word)
Black power, black power
I could scream it for hours
But let’s be real whose going to listen
This feels like an audition
It seems like a tradition
Just different conditions
Another black man speaking must be a restriction
I mind as well call in a demolition
I’m just not getting the recognition
I’m stuck on this mission
Trying to be inspirational
The dream starting to be fictional
More and more try to inspire others
But they become losers
If you not writing a verse
Then you just falling headfirst
Being black and standing up for the people is the worst
So let’s continue to chant black power
It’s not going to do anything
This whole word is a competition
Everyone fighting for the money
That’s the testimony everyone speaks of
If you don’t have it you will get cut off
This is a godless world
They say money isn’t everything
But all I see is high expensive things on the television screen
Prices have been taken to the extreme
I write to serve a purpose
But to other’s I’m just running a circus
The media make you feel worthless
The people on there is remorseless
Make you regret being alive
Yet you try to blend
To even pretend
Depending on a like or comment to get you by
Selfie after selfie just to stay in the conversation
What did that accomplish
Nothing
Now you rushing to your old self
Isn’t that the purpose of social media
To defeat your inside
It divides you from popular and being true
If you popular, you have the power
If you being true then your speaking to the choir
Have I expired
I’m just trying to inspire
So what is one to do
I’m just mumbling though
If I’m not bringing in a cash flow
Then my rant got to go
All my generation does is spit a verse
I’m use to being second so much when will I be first
When will I have the power

Weekly Thoughts #28
I did it. I finally had my surgery. If you been reading and following then you’ll would know that this has been in the works for a couple of years. I went in for surgery on Wednesday. The surgery lasted 4 hours but for me it felt like I blinked and it was over.
The anesthesiologists put a masked on me and told me to breathe in and out. After 3 breaths he said he was going to put medicine in it. That was the last thing I remember before I was out. I woke up in recovery confused. I knew it was done because of how sore I was.
Now it has been 2 days since and it doesn’t seem real that I finally got it done. I can admit that my stomach is so sore physically. I can do limited moves around the house but working out is out the picture for awhile. Of course my liquid diet stays on for another couple of weeks.
Other than that I have been really happy lately. I haven’t felt depressed all month. Maybe this operation cured something already. But that’s it for this Weekly Thoughts. See you next week with another post like this. For now view my previous posts until tomorrow. Like, comment and subscribe to my mailing list.
