| Times like this
Times like this I wish I never had a child Not because it’s hard work of because her mothers wild But because of all this mess going aroun People killing themselves on web cams Or getting shot over food stamps Individuals demonized for mind rants When the true devil with the angel face is in your place Nights like this I hope I don’t wake in teary sweats Cursing life for allowing me to meet, love and lose Celeste Making me turn away the rest because I have had the best Then forcing me to love on with needless feelings of regret Catching glimpses of people that resemble her Giving me rage till I realize she’s not around I know my sleeping sobbing woke the house But I wish my words would wake the world At least my own pain could heal the sick Instead of everyone feeling as if things are well as I deal with this shit I wish that this was a time to celebrate Instead hope and dreams separate logic from facts making truth feel like fiction As they call bondage freedom and Revolutionary talk Revolting Times like this I wish me nor my daughter were around So she won’t grow up in a world built on fear And I wasn’t here forced to se it all powerless to fix it all Jalili B.
