    BLISTERED TOES (4 LITTLE D'EE-R.I.P.)

    Fam..Hello
    In responding to my Madd Talented Sister 2(spittin tru fiya/makin the flow reach hiya/in Fort Myers) I spoke of a child named D'ee(yeah, it was me.LOL). A sensitvie little cat who had to die so I could survive the Jungle. Thinking about him(R.I.P.) inspired me to write this. Sister 2, I thank you for allowing me for one night to recall that cat. Much respect.


    walking roads
    with blistered toes
    a winding road
    I should not know

    who holds the key to my Redemption
    I hope I can survive


    to be blessed
    and yet be cursed
    to hear the Song of God
    yet forget the verse
    Our Father
    Who art in Heaven
    my mother's hurt
    my daddy's drunk
    what shall I do?

    a child can speak
    but, what's the use
    the fights
    the pain
    the physical abuse
    leaves him afraid to face tomorrow
    the burdens
    and the sorrow

    one night I dreamt that I stood
    upon Hallowed Ground
    the Sprits present
    made not a sound
    I was praying for redemption
    were they seeking retribution?

    never did I seek sympathy
    was taught to love
    yet, honestly
    love was a mockery
    God says
    you reap what you sow
    but Father
    what happens to the tainted wheat that grows?

    the farmer burns the tainted wheat
    is that the Redemption
    of which the Father speaks?
    goodbye little guy
    it's time for you..to..go
    don't worry
    no one cares
    no..one...knows

    oh,
    some will laugh
    and few will cry
    Family will seek to justify
    but remember him
    in the silence of his death repose
    his name was D'ee
    the child...
    with..the ..blistered toes
