Ode to Time

the richest man is he who carries understanding in his heart and

the most virtuous is he who extends that understanding to another being

we're in a world who's quivering and wavering with question

i've been blessed with the precious gift of time

and i see kings with false notions of our possibilities 

and

i hear only one voice

all kings sitting highest on the mountaintop eventually cannibalize themselves

man's lust is a dirty whore

i've been charmed and repelled by ms. america

and i'm free of her bondage now 

and know my country and its beauty is going to come from me

my america is a blank canvas and shall plant the seeds around me

no matter what soil i lay my bare feet

thanks to god

to the god of all nations

for i've been blessed with time
