    Until the day I was Saved

     Because my journey

    Didn’t start till the day I was saved
    Took 32 years to get to this place

    I was walkin the path
    That led straight to the grave
    Look in my eyes
    Knew that I was afraid

    I would go to church
    Try and capture my faith
    I was ashamed
    To look the preacher in his face

    Im just a sinner in the eyes
    Of the eyes of the god
    I never thought that I would
    Make it this far

    Me and brother
    Used to steal em’ and rob
    We was happy bein nixxas
    Aint wanna look for a job


    My pops was hurtin
    Thinking where did he lose us
    I thought the devil
    Just was here to confuse us

    Turns out I was inviting him in
    And I chose to live a life full of sin
    I blamed my problems on my job and my wife
    Reality is that I wanted that life

    This is very raw and very expressive. It is hard to write the truth but the truth does set us free. Wonderful work.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
