Mother

She always had faith in me but never took a second to move her lips
                   I was always on my verses kicking metaphors and smiles
                                                      Always on my verbs 
              Mother had fine pieces of metal in her mouth she had a metal jaw
                          The oxygen wind made me feel she was no sapien
                             She let her body stomach a concept of emotions
                               Until she made it a reality at my graduations
                             “Stop Smoking Stop Drinking now you got your Calling”
                         I’m almost out of this gravity no time for falling
                        ‘Never come back until we see you on that Tv”
                           Cos she saw my life moving fast like a 3G
             “Don’t make me prude cos you have long pass that stage
                      And don’t go slow that’s a kiddies pace”
                             Mother made me
