This an assignment I had to write when I was in high school while reading Beowulf. |
I say whats up to my fourth period class While I tell you a little bit about the accomplishments of my past And everything I have done in easy task See I'm the first son of a home grown Latina from a Panamanian past And I bare the name of my father and my fathers father We just don't bare middle names nor the same pains I had my first breath my first steps in Durham But I grew as a strong tree in arable soils of Raleigh All under Carolina blue sky that never seems to cry And everything taste good in a deep fry But now let me tell,teach and treat you to what made me this guy See I have many talents and teachings to give to society but not for notoriety See I'm a football player,track star, weightlifter,musician,poet or a lover Some may call me a Renaissance man and by June an educated man See in track I can sprint in a flash of an eye And I can jump over lands of sand or over any man As if i have a angle baring back and crane like feet And when it comes to the gridiron I am the iron I can catch, spin, truck, juke, juice and bring judgement day To any opponent that tries or look me in the eyes I mean I took men 200 pounds and more that started on their feet But when I pasted they took a seat And I play and make music with sick beats That can bump hard in the back of any jeep And put spells on people from head to feet That make heads bounce hard and feet move like boys' n sync But see these talents didn't come at birth they had to be manifested With interminable hours of practice and training that last twice a lifetime I remember not succeeding in sport with out useless feeding And time spent in a room mane of iron were your always fighting gravity And magically I'm half the size of most men but have the strength of ten That came with many stings,stresses and strains Ive had cracks in my shines that were healed with electric pins Ive had spazzed backs that keep me on my back for lifetimes And strains and pulled muscles that bring wrenching pains that Only polar ices can dull away only for a day And i had my cartilage torn from my bones and tendons that became tendonitis See all this made ice baths my friend and foe And i remember drumming on pillows and doing paradiddles At top end speeds Until my fingers and forearms are in a inferno As if hell has released its hell like heathens and hell hot lava in my veins That brought me this pains,and once again this made... Ice my friend and foe but this is what i did not to be an average joe So these talents would make me the ruthless knight But also the most compassionate of knights that keep me out of sight With words of fire and ice And i have a tongue with painter like bristles as taste buds That can paint visions in your mind of the suns vibrant visual colors that vibe threw the windows to your soul Of that same sun raising over the horizon Above crystal like waters with beauty not costing any quarters So there there there it is my past I have told taught and treated you With the accomplishments,talents and tasks Because I'm the last of a dying breed that has multitask So give me any opponent stress and or task And see how long the ot it will last before its an accomplishment in my past... |
