We all were pulled out of the womb, to go right back to the tomb. And the only choice we have is how we love, live and forgive.


Poem Artwork

I don't remember
nowhere in the
twelve months of december
asking anyone to be
Nevertheless I became me
the face in the mirror
that I see

It's my reflection looking back
at a man trying to stay on track
ducking and dodging
all the bullchit and flack
but refusing to return the favor
and go on the attack

As long as I have to be
I chose being a peace maker
instead of a heart breaker
or some type bullchit faker
I have no twist
this is the way I like to exist
But I will overcome, adapt
and improvise in the mist
