      Real Life Fiction - Edwin Torres

      Afterlife

      Do I have a spot reserved in heaven

      If I don’t it means I do not deserve to get in.

      Tell the gods I’m coming

      After all their jobs are done with.

      Should I ask a price

      To be visible in the afterlife

      Or come back tonight

      Even if everything is black and white.

      What I would give to be in the earth

      Relive my life even if the reasons will hurt

      Bring me back in the form of an animal free like a bird

      I’ll sleep in the dirt

      Get my nutrition from plants

      Because I’m eating the herbs.

      Let it be known to some of my makers

      That I want to be at one with the nature.

      The world would be reborn at my feet

      Rejoin the world in the form of a tree

      Give life provide food and oxygen

      For those who got to win

      No longer looking for green

      Because I’ve got lots of it

      Make the world

      The way it would not have been.

      The rain makes my roots flourish

      So I can help humanity nourish.

      I’ll be the protector

      Of all of God’s creatures

      Even the ones with odd features.

      Only hunt to survive

      Protect all living things

      In front of my eyes

      In the afterlife

      I want to have four legs and a tail

      And watch the world move ahead and prevail

      The jungle is my home

      The tail keeps me balanced

      So to be stumbling I won’t.

      I want to have every animal’s race endured up

      To communicate with them like Ace Ventura.

      I love all living things

      Even love hearing children sing

      In the next life

      I hope the gods give me wings.

      If I was the king of the animal kingdom

      I’ll tell my fellow creatures

      That we’re facing extinction.

      The human race is to fear

      Because they’re making us disappear.

      All wildlife is enjoying the planet

      But we’re the ones destroying the planet.

      So I’ll see you in the afterlife.

      Allegory

      Pay attention to this allegory

      They only told half the story

      I’m going past the glory

      Writing this like it’s mandatory.

      What they didn’t mention to you

      Is that we’re in a temple of doom

      It’s why every move is detrimental to move.

      When I’m playing the game

      I’m not saying no names

      Just stay in the lane

      Every day is insane,

      And every thought is cynical

      It’s about to get critical

      I’ve got to pass the physical

      About to get political.

      And I know it’s complicated

      Work like you’re obligated

      Until your rights are confiscated

      Now you’re feeling dominated

      They want to envy on this hate it

      Every single promise made it.

      But never fulfilled

      Just combats and wrongful kills.

      This is what we’re hating

      We keep debating

      Not creating or relating

      Send the poor to prison

      In these states united

      It’s a lot more division

      If you hate to fight it

      Then do it with a vision

      Tell me what you’ve sighted

      Let’s start the mission.

      Writing my chronicles

      Overcome any obstacles

      In a world cold like Popsicles

      People dying in hospitals

      Everyone feeling hostile

      Even the ones singing gospels

      With a crew of apostles.

      Tell them the truth

      And blow off the roof

      The word will go off my tooth

      This is the proof

      No future for the youth.

      I’m not writing a melody

      Because then I’ll be fighting a felony.

      If I drop an album

      Then I’ll get shot like Malcolm

      That is not my outcome.

      Collecting dust for years

      No more trust is here

      Put what they must in ears

      Money lust and fear

      The end for us is near.

      Days are short and nights are long

      Can’t tell the difference from right and wrong

      Or right from left

      Just fight to death

      Take the lightest breath

      Can’t see or hear they lost sight they’re deaf.

      Have a drink in my name

      While I sink in my pain

      They all think I’m insane

      Even the shrinks know my name

      Always in ink it remains

      Doing it fast in a blink it just came

      With no links to the chain.

      Back in the Day

      I remember when we bought two bazookas with a dime

      Basketball was at its prime

      Rappers were real with the rhymes

      Yes I know those were the times.

      We would
