through times when dreams
morphed to reality,
friends into family,
and insanity into creativity;
emotionally sensitive since a youth,
learned to kill foes with the naked truth,
built courage under fire,
traveled to lands where
my forefather's ancestors were known as sire
with street cars in need of desire;
blessed to bless my Queen with seed,
young prince breed to become king
in a foreign place known as Zion;
from infinity and beyond,
boldly going where no man has ever set sight on;
exploring the universe,
cursed to go into sacred temples
and meditate to control my flesh
with my spirit's mental state...
