A Sigh

Okay, hello world; its me again. Nuff Said from the bottom or just Nai-jeer Watson always being humble except for when i'm being modest. LOL. Long intro. Pardon me, i'm just excited. I am about to write a poem directly into this blog for the first time. Its been on my mind for about two weeks to get it out and make it beautiful, but i havent felt the need to take the time to do it thoroughly until now. Enjoy.

A SIGH
A sigh for the economy
A sigh for all the people settling for less, sometimes for scraps,
and blaming it on the economy.
A sigh
for all the people born with wings but never fly
A sigh is all i got those people,
i'm spreading mine
leavin frettin behind
because the biggest enemy of fear
is activity
so i gets busy
a sigh for liberty
happiness lives at the intersection of freedom and responsibility
a sigh for humility
in the cold-ass, overheated
indecent stupid superpolluted
overpopulated rock we call our world
this is where they take your kindess for weakness
in our world but some wanna keep it
and it aint no secret
but we dont peep it, we act like we dont believe it, we just...
(exhale)
a sigh for technology
people dont know the number to their own
parents' phones
but i got this stupid HTC super HD
5g live stream internet
wide screen
unlimited texts
80 gigs of memory
and i might be bugging, but i think it do something other than that
call people, bruh?

A sigh
for all the fat dudes
tryna holla at fly chicks but gettin no reply
for every tear every insecure young adult cried
for everyday they wish they died
and it was pretty outside
for the thousands deaths that more than just cowards die
over many, many, mini tragedies
a sigh for everytime the world ended when i was 17

A sigh for Iraq, DAMN!
Man its been damn near 10 years
yall aint find no weapons yet
and the people as a whole been against it for years
i almost lost my big brother over there
but they dont even care,
at all,
they still there
like "fuck yall"

but i cant leave myself out, yall
a sigh for everytime i felt the need to grab my balls
and ball my fist
or call that name
or get that last word
like the meek aint goin inherit the earth
like you gotta be scared to go to church
a sigh for all the imes i didn't put God first
for all the times when i was too cool, too young, too proud
a sigh for all sheame too deep to say out loud
a sigh for anorexia
bulemia, depression swine flu
a sigh for every diesease every plague, with no vaccine no answer
i'm no MD, but i c worse ills in the world than cancer
A sigh for crack cocaine
a sigh for every body who been touched by the sweet and sour caress of crack cocaine
for every nephew neice son, that lost sisters, brothers, uncles, Aunts, Mom's and Dads to the same damn thang
a sword that cuts so many ways
that cut and cut for so many years it left the fabric of my underprivilegded society in frays
a sigh cuz get money is the phrase that pays
when the love of that is the root of all evil i can show the page

but a sigh for judgemental people
a sigh for racists
a sigh for the Hawks this year
a sigh for life's brevity
i say at the same time as i strive for longevity
cuz some days it seem like the minutes aint long enough
hours aint long enough
years aint long enough
life aint long enough
my only fear is that i wont have long enough
a sigh for every team that didn't lose that didn't lose they just ran out of time
its hard to come back from behind
a sigh cuz we all know they had a head start since head start
white moman on tv said she let her baby sleep to mozart
my daughter mother be banging gucci man
a sigh one last time cuz kids are the future man
so the math
says... one day we'll be the past
i can add
good enough to know i dont got much time
so all i got is quick sighs for all the ills outside
exhalin the bad
more room in my lungs to make the sweet moments last
just one sigh for my whole past
and i'm free at last
