Born Not To Know

Ha such a sullen look
upon your face, weary
as you look at the brook
sights are so dreamy

This angst tickles me
for you try hard not to show
mind in chaos, flee
I smile your born not to know

Dont be pist, for I was you
searching for quench for belly
seeking things for what is true
not in books, mag or telly

Bound are we, by our sight
collared by our thirsts
still pushing with our might
straining till it hurts

Might of man, yes, a legacy
the questions ringing, nerving
stubborn for complacency
or maybe to stop singing

Listless struggles of the word "why"
baggage it seems lay in tow
pondering when seeing the sky,
yes, us, I born not to know

I laugh,  ha, our fate
a tear drops your eye
yes, you cant escape
answers on the sly

Yeah, like you I frowned
cussing love, life and pain
seems I played the clown
looking for the profane

Fuck you, my loins, son
say it to me, wont help
in others dont shun
cause I`ll tell it, wont help

Fate brides us all, a bitch
breeding the same beast, again and..
too perfect not a hitch
past down to man and woman

Tension, I feel it son
release, I`ll cradle
for you life`s just begun
so much while able

Not all can, you quench
some desires consume
feeling your heart wrench
seeing only doom

Yeah, you wanna ask
answers that are beyond
still while I`m in cask
tryin to get beyond

Horrible, the mind, as beauty
calmity is a n exstacy
wines fasaud of purity
juggles of our own destony

Appreciate the breeze, air
how the flower grows
Search skies, unafraid to stare
see that you dont know
This piece has been in soo many pieces.  I have yet to retrieve all the pages but to surmise that it is about  20 pages long.  It was inspired by some TV show, I dont remember, but it`s all about a father passing down what he know`s before he dies and to ease the burden of a growing man.

MY FIRE, MY LIFE

Could my fire die as I burn
as I blaze
anot
her time I will learn
for I blaze

It seems I`m
a chosen child
m
y lessons so rushed
ablaze of fire`s bru
sh gone wild
my passing is h
ushed

Of Go
d`s light I`m nova
this p
ain, I`m blessed
Yes, Gods ligh
t I`m nova
sp
ecial, I`m blessed

I curse of curse, my soul
a fire to cl
eanse
so h
ot now, that I`m cold
a scorc
hed amends

Where`s my brea
th, my air
I do diminish
aire is hum
an, my air
this life I finish

My lesso
n is of my fire
aw
ake to shine
No guilt of
lust, of desire
m
y soul will climb

Coms
umed by me, I zenith
m
y beauty left ash
To rise in fury, phoenix
to rise by my
ash
