Blue Hopes

Heaven’s revolving door unexpectedly spun 

The untimely demise of a righteous soul left the world in distraught  

Eyes fluttered with raindrops everytime the heavenly chorus resonates with the fiber of our being   

Verses flowing through the atmosphere’s stream, letting the listeners dip their feet to feel that effect  

The pain denied the controlled substances as a medicine, but the side effects emphazied the synonyms

Catalog of the gracious fallen on constant repeat to the point my speakers have memorized the melodies 

Stuck in the denial stage with the physical feeling of stage fright but no spotlight because it’s just a really dark time, Lord   

Double up, the hard time has humbled us.

I’ve been penning down sappy thoughts I couldn’t physically express confidently for a decade

Quickly converting my PDF’s to rhythmic sounds because the trendy seemed illiterate

Wasn’t a gracious switch or a pleasant transfer, my luggage was lost despite my carry-on vision  

In amidst of slaving in workshops to curate my skillful technicalities, I raised my head to see someone who looked like me

His appearance was demanding respect 

His instrumentals forced your attention 

His lyrics had a strong thesis with references

Free game was available through the media outlets with a simple click despite his fellow competitors methods

Same ethnic roots from a small country that defined resiliency yet lacking a platform to put itself on a map

From disregarding the oppressors with a history of chaining talents to contracts, to using successful results in order to give back to his roots so the flowers can grow... 

He was everything I dreamed to be.  

By God’s plan, I was able to look into his eyes with humility to give gratitude and his well deserved  credit for my ambition

The promise of another meeting might seem broken, but your spirit is among us due to the inspired 

Double up, we will never let a hard time humble us.

Blue hopes and checkered flags.

The baton is with your character’s product, so the marathon must continue.  

 TMC.
