Persistence will give us our last laugh

Persistence will give us our last laugh

Sometimes I wish the world was paradise so we could all be perfect 
But eyes and minds they speculate and make lives feel worthless 
Love is like a time bomb its  ticks and tocks keep turning 
Until it all errupts, and leaves the owners hurting 

So it's burning, the shrapnel in my chest
When all I could ever dream of is being peaceful in your breast
When being pressed, we are something unbelievable 
Look how far we've come, the world to conquer's still achievable 

Believe the fool, or leave the fool
Salty tears still flow, drown my sorrows in a teary pool
School never ready for me this, heartache wasn't on the curriculum 
My life is topsey turvey, I have lost my equilibrium

Lost the sight of light in the gun show and the fire fight
You're my compass in the wilderness, in a sea of darkness you're my fire flies
So forget the lies, I broke my own heart
Misery won't take away the pain and neither will a new start

So I'd prefer to climb the ladder, and continue on our path
Because the only way is forward, persistence will give us our last laugh

February 14th

A warm hand touched a lonely heart
On my mind all day, that’s why I see your face after dark
And , I know you smile when I smile
Even though we're apart, love's telepathic through miles
No denial, you’re the sweetness in every cherry drop
I'm not just about making the bedrock, I'll make your heart stop...
Start, just like it skipped a beat
Roses and chocolates are cliché, but this me being me
Poetry, floetry just to see them rosy cheeks
To make you blush and grin your teeth
Read listen, listen read...carefully
Valentines Day is one day out of one week
You've got me 365 days, plus infinity

My sister got married

My sister got married

My sister got married to day
Twenty Eleven october the eighth
So be sure to put it in you diary
Write it down, mark this date
Because we have all witnessed here
Love shared, shown and displayed
Hearts and families bound together
Something that no man may brake

I live the Circle of Life

I live the Circle of Life
I didn't want to be in their shoes
I was comfortable in mine
I didn't want to preserve the love
I'm not the sort you soak in brine
They always though i had screws loose
But it was never a matter of time
They had done it once before
But it was never consider a crime
Was life really worth all this?
I've learn't to swallow my pride
Finding it hard to see through heavens eyes
Cause I'm human, so the way i decide
And the decisions that I make
Depend on sin, sin provides
I'm human, I'm imperfect
Now theres no need to read inbetween the lines
Stare life in its face
And suss out all the lies
Have to smile once in a while
More often than when I'm high
Jump for joy, grin teeth
More often than I cry
Go to sleep and wake up
And remind myself...I live the Circle of Life

19

19

I'm 19 today
And it still hasn't sunk in
Drunken words this may be, but I am one King
Been feelling kind of down, scary face Pumpkin
All it takes is a knife and a Steak, and I'm lunching
I denied the grave once, no fronting
the only sueprman is in my boxers, no stunting
I'd rather be in my ralph and a snap back, looking stunning
2 years 1 moth 4 days, and I still got prospects coming
So if grim tries to take ma again, I'll send him running
Had my hood days on the block, bunning
Soldiered life even though i ain't fought for the Queen, gunning
So it's me on the mountain, I've crushed the mole hills
And evey day I wake up, feeling alive feels more real

Remember

Remember

People leave all the time they say

It’s just another day

And we always seem to think

Can it be another way?

But although you’re gone

You’ll always be in my memory

Distances isn’t a feat to defeat me

So remember that you’ll always be a friend 

Phone calls on rainy days

Email or message me

Life is a journey, we can come and go endlessly

Just remember those who left

And remember what they meant us, to you

And what they meant to me

By Jesse Johnson

Encroach

Encroach

There was nothing that i could do about it
It hurts me to think of her wishing it would stop
Why would someone wanna do that for?
So fowl and fiendish, diabolical and raw

It is poor, rat tat on your door
It would either be the feds or grim with his sickle
The way i see it, its revenge
It'll either be me or you sitting in the pen

And remember this. What happens on the late night
Will get repaid in the broad day bare face
No love no fore play
Have something pointing at your head, like this is a Saw game

But this is serious, you must have been delusional
You mother should be ashamed of you
Wish i find you kill you twice over and shit on your grave
Treat women like women, not how they treated the slaves
