“99% of my life I was lied to ”
EMINEM
From “My name is”
Part 2
The last poem left something missing
Sounded like my parents I was dissing
Perhaps some negative reminiscing
Inspired by Eminem line, fit I was hissing
Neither in this, their ass, will be kissing
As the meme goes, did best they could
Learned from that, I knew that I would
Ill prepared does no one any good
Try building a house w/o tools or wood
Am here now so why should I brood
Moving so slow, feels like stagnation
Deciphering truth, use my imagination
What had I done in my last incarnation
Not so good, yet not quite damnation
Make it better, for the next reincarnation
Reflecting back will give any one pause
Consider the manipulation of Santa Claus
Don’t even blame them, for society’s flaws
Still coerced on kids, on my soul it gnaws
Hard to escape those consumptive jaws
Saw a bad thing, picture it now, as then
At the time, was told it did not happen
If acknowledged may have forgotten
A characteristic repeated quite often
Trust should’ve been ripe, it was rotten
Broke a ceramic, prepared for the scorn
Twas irreplaceable shouldn’t been born
Don’t take it out on me if you’re forlorn
Back of my mind forever will adorn
Till clearing it out here, it is now shorn
Don’t impregnate, don’t be a dummy
If they do, it’s for your perceived money
No chance they, will just think I’m funny
A horrible thing to say, so very crummy
Still rears its ugliness on my honey
Even though I know she truly loves me
One thing I’m learning it’s not too late
Sequencing words new ways to create
Stick around, end no longer contemplate
Find myself manifesting a different fate
One, put in print so others may relate
