I am an artist
And I ain’t got no time to be silent
No time to allow these words
To asphyxiate my ancestry
Amidst this violence
Amidst this despair
Can’t deny the world my gift
Because of fear
Living a life of purpose and service
Cannot and will not die with my gifts still in here
Inspired by my pain
And how close death came
Images of a tombstone
Inscribed with my name
Just then, I snapped back
To a new era - a new lane
And then my real eye realized
That I could be the one to make a change
Cause see I … am an artist
Creator of lyrical calligraphy
Take you on a journey with my soliloquies
Literary imageries
Full of healing
May my words add meaning to your life
And the thoughts you left behind
With the things that I write
May my words penetrate your soul
Levitate your being
Beyond the thoughts that you think you know
See ignoring the call of our dreams can be lethal
Ignoring the call of our dreams can be lethal
Especially when you tell your BIG dreams
To small-minded people
Pumping in the depths of me is my heartistry
This life-giving gift that I was given
Man how can I deny the world the gift of the Creator's imprint
How dare I suppress the talents etched in the flesh of my chest
Am I not grateful
Do I not cherish it
Randell, have you not realized
That this is your ticket to the exodus
See when chasing our dreams we sometimes ask if it’s worth it
But have we not realized that by not doing it we were causing the world a disservice
A failure to fulfill our purpose
I am an artist
Persistently pushing pens and pencils
Living in my purpose practicing my pure potential
As we artists we have to get creating
When the world is devastated
We are the beacons of hope
Healing to suicide notes
And we change people’s lives with this gift
So no matter how rough it gets, don’t quit!
Know that you can push beyond the limits
You are an image of the infinite
Every choice that we make fulfill our life’s pages
See the road ahead will be tough but remain patient
Know that you are designing magic in the making
So, when the blueprint of your story is read
Will it free others from the matrix?
