A breath and a beat

Mos Def and Karouac
A Rhythm
A thwack thwack
Of the Beatnik’s drum
Soul poets
Seeing through eyes inspired
A vision not tired
A breath
And a beat
Thwack Thwack
You speak
It’s the truth of the rhythm of cities and roads
A traveller’s song
Moving along
With a jazzy beat
Thwack Thwack
Mos Def and Karouac

Betrayed

Twisting and turning
My heart won’t stop yearning
for clarity and peace
My Source my relief
How is one to believe
people in choices won’t deceive
When guidance and friendship aren’t enough
It’s tough
At the expense of friendships true
Authentic in support of you
Your crisis blinds
Distorts your mind
A past of bad decisions made
A lust obeyed
Friends’ debt unpaid
A trust betrayed
