Genes

for the friends i know and those i know not
for the ones i dont know dat i know and those i will later know
for the ones we love and the ones we never had the chance to...
for the ones life allowed and the one it rode against
for the ones reading this and the ones that will never get here
for the ones we had and the ones we lost...




Gene, let me wear my jeans
Life is at my feet
I want to take the world to a beat
I want to soar to the skies
The tempo is rising
I want to glide with it
Would you let me
And allow my genes
My pale eyes
My little feeble frame
Even my legs would not hold me
When the genes come
Lying still on the hospital bed
The familiar smell
Same sights and sounds
Same touch, all doctors touch the same
My poor veins and skin
Tired of the ceaseless poking
The needle, i no longer feel
The pains of my parents
My own pains, my pains
Painfully painful, but i can only smile
my siblings, their aura
asking God why it had to be me alone
but, would you let me
wear my jeans
would you let me
and allow my genes
let me give to the world
that which lies still in me
let me build the bridge
across the great rivers
the mighty river that spans across
would you let me
wear my jeans
but you keep refusing my genes
i say to you still,
would you let me!
To give to the world
The strength of my pains
And the strength that lies in me
the strength, that bears this cross
the will and the zeal
the parable of the grass and wind
feeble, yet it remains
rocky, yet it thrives
i have been left
but i remain
for i come that i might remain
so, would you let me
wear my jeans and allow my genes
life is not for some
life is for all and only those that heed this call,
the call to play this gene like a ball
let groove at the genes and jeans ball
