the real                                              7/12/12


Life unfolds to new found dimensions,
places most folks  are afraid to venture;

avoiding the jungle for the fear
of the lion's roar,
the tiger's claws,
and the bear's jaws;

fools hardly ever learn,
no matter how many chances they receive
they still squander their aspirations and dreams;

lost in the rat race,
playing and checking books of face;

too busy  pondering other people's business
without proper comprehension
stuck in mental detention
memory has zero percent retention;

missing the vision and dropping off the map
landing in prison;

new found slavery,
reinvented because the only book most
ever read nowadays is facebook;

calling associates friends and
losing the ones that had their back
from the beginning and would have remained
to the end,
however your plans fall short
because you never adventured beyond
the capacity of a young teen,
now you are 34 without a single seed
to call your own,
because when the grip got tighter
your mental suspension got lighter...
