the World Ash

strength slid like sand through iron fingers
hope eroded like, copper gone rusty on a third floor pipe
vision blurry, eyes drown in rivers of tears
where's my fury
slow down brothers. why y'all in such a hurry

at the end of the day
all i got to show for sacrifice is losing my place
and at the end of the road all i got to show for patience

is this blade of grass
i thought would break through the ground as a world ash

curse the passing of time
thoughts lost in graviton fluctuations, unholy manipulations,
in hard situations, yet midnight shines
and moon reflects the light of sun divine
the holy mirror.  pray to Jah louder and maybe then He'll hear you
fate is bullshit, and faith and reason make you feel better 
...but don't change the seasons
Carpe Diem

take the fruits from the tree of life and squeeze them
suck the juice 'til you no longer need it

at the end of the day
all i got to show for sacrifice
is losing my place
all i got to show for patience
is this blade of grass
i thought would touch the sky
like a world ash
thought i no longer see the light in dreams
God still lookin' down on me

...smiling
