Side Thoughts…a freeverse from a free thinker

Faith sheds light on even the most impossible riddles of life…
Can you imagine what could happen
if you gain the advantage
from mistakes that have passed?
You’d control where you land after being tossed the dead man’s hand
dealt from the deck of cards branded with heavy clubs and broken hearts.

You’d transcend all the naysayers as your dreams become truth,
Laying to rest all the inconsistencies that prey upon your destiny
In your life you would be in charge, dominating territories previously unconquered.
You would set the cap on your possibilities and give reign to your iniquities
…as the world turns by your hand.

But on second glance, I realize you would see that as too much like right
to wage a fight against groundless stereotypes
branded on the souls of the disenfranchised
They analyze our demeanor to guillotine us from the mainstream
when we are the head of a cultural movement.
Higher than the head of the bodies
we embody the pedagogy
from which the school of hard knocks is descended

Not to mention we ace thru the course work
like we wrote the book and dictate the study guide on a daily basis
thru body language because we know actions speak louder than words.
You can show me better than you can tell me
how the family unit is ailing from swelling over
into other realms where they don’t belong.
Where love should stand alone
we’ve required that she have at least three other bad bitches on her side
at all times because you are the company you keep,
but what they don’t tell you
is that you’re judged by what you speak because, even if it barks
a duck is still a duck.

So if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck
maybe u should stop listening to how he talks and value what he says.
Even is he comes of as a complete asshole
its balanced by a heart of gilded gold…And that would never be compromised
for the so called advantage that comes with acceptance
because he knows the side effect is neglect
at the guilty hands of a judgmental people.

I believe that we are the masters of our fate,
but only when you exist from the inside out
Otherwise, without a shadow of a doubt
our lives cease to be our own
once persuaded and dictated by the will of another.
I believe we should want to go so much further.
