                 Brighten your darkest night         1/9/09



                        
These schools don't teach us squat,

Lies about the truth,
telling me I'm not the true root;

Trying to eliminate God from the equation,
wanting my soul burning in damnation;

Learning me things to better their polluted schemes,
while my team steadily depleting
like  when enemies retreating;

A zone of war where I dwell,
but my school doesn't prepare me for whats really out there;
 
So I venture out on my own,
learning the difference between right and wrong
but continue making left turns;

Fire and brimstone taught me well;

Travel and research bred me strong,
determination and hunger keep me going,
plotting 2 steal all the information
because after dropping out of college,

that's when I had to use
and utilize my everyday knowledge;

So through my years of learning,
being taught by folks that didn't believe in my thoughts,
I found that the strong take from the weak
and the smart take from the strong,

so when you see this book's cover
don't judge by sight
because I guarantee

what's underneath will brighten
your darkest knight!
