    Dear Father

     I cant belive I got my seed
    And now im thankin' the god
    Forgive ya man for all his sins
    That’s why im askin the god

    The time for adolescent thinking
    Drinkin smoking and hustling
    my daughter keep me from my sleep
    Shakin cryin and tustlin

    A missed the chance to thank to mans
    Because he gave me advice
    To be the mans and now these niggas
    Askin me for advice

    I got the lord that gots my back
    You askin how I figure
    Cause he turned to successful
    From a drug dealin nixxa

    No sleep cause the sleepin is
    The cousin of death
    I done gave up drinkin liquor
    But I skipped the 12 steps

    I found the path
    But it was paved with the devil him self
    And most my people don’t believe
    I took the drank from shelf

    I kept a ruger for protection
    But gave it smooth to my man
    I guess I thought the pistola
    Made me feel like a man

    Dear father
    Im standin at the heavenly gates
    I beggin you to let me in
    Because my soul cant wait.

    I like your poetry. Sometimes we forget thereá a rough side of life and prefer hearts and roses. Then we're slammed back into reality when we read about a person who is overcoming the darkness in his life and his soul. God bless you,keep writing.

    cmlestrade, thanks for all of your comments. They are truly appreciated. Your poems are very good as well. Thanks again.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
