Black And White
In this infinity of darkness,
Hidden in deserts of death,
Lies a speck, a grain of meaning,
We live single moments in an eternity of existence,
We've got one second to pose,
One second before curtains,
One breath, one life,
To be spent in a circle of suffering,
Among knife-bearers,
Murders and thieves,
Greed and hate.
I lurk in shadows,
Which bear my name.
I live in blind whispers,
And in shame.
Of the person I am,
The people I've known,
And the people I am.
My lands where mine have bled,
The fields which mine have made,
The ruins of mine great legacy,
To be spat on in disgrace,
As devils of our race.
I walk the streets at night,
I've never seen the light,
That my dad pointed to and smiled,
With one hand on my shoulder,
A long time ago,
In a place I can't quite remember,
In a land I can't quite pronounce,
On an earth unreddened, and futures clean,
Where I ran in liberty
With a heart of purity and eyes of glee,
I rest my back on a great tree,
With pride and dignity,
And enjoy the moment,
Savor the breathe,
For I know it can't last before the coin is turned.

My Life (Bill Clinton autobiography)Then it came unthinkably,
And unimaginably,
It came in power and in will,
And defied the land on which I walk and dream
And decreed me inept as a human being.
I live on sweet memories,
For I know there wont be anymore,
I thank Jah that I live and breathe,
But curse the moment he closed his eyes,
My world collapsed on me,
I cried and cried at the darkened skies,
And I gazed at the stars,
And hoped.
Death will not stop my words echoing,
Punishment will...
