An Homage To Rhymesayers

Am I ahead or behind?
Stuck in fast forward or rewind?

What’s the essence?
What’s essential?

Zoomin’ in on right now
is how I realize my potential.

Is that crazy?
Irrational?

Do I put me first?
Or feel compassion, y’all?

Just like you, my dad was big and tall.
Watchin’ him grow old– even the mighty fall.

So I trudge on.
Put one foot in front of the other.
Turn Slug on.
And learn how to love my brother.
