Monkey Dreams



So currently I am experimenting with oil pastels. This is my first piece. It came from a more robot graffiti character in Japan but I made him more life like. I also got some inspiration from Dave Chappelle's Live at the Filmore performance. I must know it off the top of my head now. Its unfinished but I like so far. What do U think????

My Peers and Eye Don't See Eye Eye

I wrote this poem not very long ago maybe a month. Just a thought, an expression...EnJoY

Can I be candid not according to my peers
I can’t be myself because these small minds are insecure
While majority discuss people I philosophy on life
Mom said not to speak if it ain’t nothing nice
Can I go a little deeper watch my picaso stroke
As i paint the vivid picture of a generation hoax
Material material I got have it all
You stuck in a video and their lyrics ho you like a black card
Is your mind not strong enough to see the real facade
That its just about these greenbacks you mimicking a lie
Or do you understand but not enough to care
That your shallow comprehension is a future of despair
It ain’t always about pretty faces and long hair
You didn’t realize until the test came back
And you had to pay your prescription fare
See you forget about ya homegirl from way back when
After you saw those stilettos that’s just the consequence
I hate to be the one to tell ya that all that glitters ain’t gold
You didn’t hear family business on dropout that’s old
Quicksand thinking can have you falling deep
From what I here under pressure there’s scorching heat
Rise to the occasion be set apart
Because you can always see the grand scheme from afar
Never again will I try to fit
This boy once told me my loneliness is bliss
