THE FALLEN
-by Neo Blaqness
If I can’t be
true to me
I can’t be
true to you
The truth is
I am
just what you see
but so are
the things
you do
You say
don’t judge
a book
by its cover
but what’s a
brutha
sposed to think
can’t really
show my mother
your profile
with your ass
hanging on
that bathroom sink
Seems to me
I got a choice
should I be
true to the dog
or listen to
that still
small voice
be true
to the spirit
of God
I gotta tell you
it don’t
always please me
to answer
that higher call
cuz baby
you make it
too damn easy
for a man
to fall
