If you cant trust a homie, you cant trust no one.....<br /> If you try and dont success try again and if you still dont succeed maybe you aren&#039;t trying hard enough<br /> Its hard work that gets you stuff but its inspiration that pushes you

A roar came from below
I cast a gaze to my belly showing me my hunger.
My brother loved to eat on the road, so did i but the sparkle in his eye was gone so the food disgusted me.
With pain I swallowed.
As it brought reminders of the repulsive food in his funeral.
Oh my brother, how you loved food on the road
