'Firestones'
© Raul Cortes Jr. 4-12-19
Creation of poems, rhymes one writes in the text..
Formation of stones, symbolizes one life to the next.
In terms of what's real, the unreal is more powerful.
A thought, a dream or a legend can go on & on, even though their fragile too.
Engraved in stone monuments, is not what you leave behind..
Instead, it's what you wove & weaved through lives.
Never be afraid to fail, its just a stone to step on.
And overconfidence is known to get wrong.
Life is happening at this moment, yet society treats a moment as a transition to the next.
A moment can be a means to an end that a stepping-stone can wreck.
Revenge is a rolling stone, forced uphill.
& before avengers clears its path, they'll get struck with a tough deal.
I'm unlike anybody else, carved out of stone, shaped like a key.
There's only one me, I'm grateful to be.
Life is useless when not consecrated in a great ideal..
Like a stone wasted on a irate field.
I'm not equivalent to a store item, but I be in my bag...
Like a stone on a sling, I can talk that slang.
Goliath was immense in stature, yet he just appeared to be a giant.
Many folk got more fame & fortune than me, but my soul is seared with defiance.
