A Power Nap

A Power Nap

A Poem by Mario Vitale

Each of us goes through stages on our way to heaven not a one stop shopping event

Today is a new day yeah you got bills to pay what more can I say get the hook up

There are wars zones we call schools which we send our children to coming apart

Everyone seeks for shelter outside buried under a balance of power strength in desire

Coming down to the wire its a gun for hire taking time out to reflect haven't made a dent

These are desolate times yet we have settled for ill but faded rhymes casualties are enormous for a stated cause that's plain atrocious...

Is their walls between us usher in a new day's dawn we can all grow fond from each other

Blood shed in our streets we stand to repeat the heavy energy from the streets

 

Yesterday there was things new to us last time I checked it was a rooster cosmic shooter

I stand reflecting about the decisions I made from my past time to reflect days gone by

Sleep late get a power nap then I reflect take a good look at my life amidst its strife

I come alive like a bird on a wire take a hot shower feels good in the water why falter

We made plans we break plans do we ever give up it all depends upon our marching orders

Tuesday's gone with the wind my faithful friend the one you can grow to depend

 

Russian authority in our morning glory Trump in his ivory tower hour of power

Marlyn Nonroe bust up the beat to promote its tempo take you to places to go

Each one of us worships something even if you don't do anything your still trusting

Believe it or not I'm walking on air never thought I would be so free flying away with a wing and a prayer who could it be believe it or not its just me...

Eyes, face & hands when to understand you can't keep sticking it to the man with a plan

Days will come days will go bust up the beat to promote its tempo take you to places you should know,

Years ago let the truth be told we had a feeling everything would turn out right

Although those many years would pass we have grown to grasp a measure of faith

 

Come to the fountain and drink leave all your desires their smile and cheer

Calling me near to shed a tear the folly is improving do you remember what your doing

Faces, spaces & traces remember Obama or did he go home crying to momma

It's a surprise you see working on my legacy come and sit next to me life is but a mystery

Closet queen head in the machine toss and turn a human heart will burn

We need to take control to show you places to go all I ask is that you'd pray

Each step that I take every moment that I make Foodstamps, Cash assistance & S.S.I.

Draw on your strengths try to reflect live, laugh & love straight from above
