Unexpected terror
I'm running on a beach with black sand. With this --
..God created man, with his bare hands --
I explore the lands. Through the bottles and cans --
the sun on my skin, skipping rocks.. getting tanned --
witness the colors triggered in the horizon. No pastel's could match --
Then my little brother calls my Verizon, and asks where I’m at --
it was about my mother.. and since the foggy night my dad past away --
she couldn't stand to stay at home alone and been gone for three days --
Our relationship. Needless to say, was strange sometimes --
the situation had me drained, trying' to rearrange our lives --
the inner hatred has altered the frame of my mind --
but I won't change rage blinds.. how u think and decide --
Our love died, we never hugged just cried --
with no structure, just lies. Another covered in disguise --
a constant struggle. Sort of like the huxtable's revised --
I blame my mother.. for all the pain and suffering inside --
Imagine driving in your car, the sun reflecting off your rear view mirror,
windows down. Riding with the radio down just enough, to hear the sounds of nature.
Have you ever had so much on your mind, that’s its impossible to focus on anything
at all.

Ready?..
I respect my brother for his bravery. He just wanted happiness for us --
it's more of a catastrophe, their’s nothing we can casually discuss --
in the event of a tragedy, a casualty carried in the flood --
I couldn't stand the thought, and felt like I could actually erupt --
I was confident in my search at first, then things got worse --
I feel accursed. From hunger and thirst. No energy burst --
wondering what would it feel like to have to wonder the earth --
and what a curse it must be given for a woman to birth --
I went by the old neighborhood to check, not knowing what to expect --
I held my breath, as the echo from the wooden door repped --
I got back in the car, then thought of the approach I would take --
I hope this isn't over dope, I'm barely able to cope with today --
With tears in my eyes, I stop at a redlight..there's a rumbling sound --
I heard it getting louder, reminds me of a thundering sound --
I saw two tall buildings, engulfed in water started tumbling down --
pedestrians walking on the street, started running around --
Where is this bitch?..
I fled from the car, left the door ajar and ran up the nearest stairs --
it was an apartment complex, I secured the top door with a chair --
then prepared to plot an escape, but how can I win this race --
then I saw in the laundry mat upstairs, a familiar face --
smoking base. I had to replace the thoughts in mind --
We had to reach safety, safely. Before we lost any time --
I couldn't get caught...in this rush of trash and debris --
We had to find a way to the roof, and make a raft at least --
The waters coming constant, I could hear screams in the current --
I hurried, each second getting more and more worried --
We ran across the building, the only way to bail is to jump --
then we found a ladder and propped it on the rail in the front --
I'll go first she said, and as she climbed on the bar --
her hand slipped, she fell down and drowned from a far --
don't take anything for granted, it took me years to see --
how to get over hate and fear and I still believe..
