This life I live!

Al-qahira Bakra

This life I live is not make believe,
Rough surroundings make up like Maybelene,
My ears stay open to what they say to me,
Shells and abandonments fashion creatively,
The streets are greasey,
Sidewalks covered in feces,
Encounter the greedy,
Turn their backs on the needy,
O begged for change wether or not you believe me,
Non-Existant cause they can't see me,
The sidewalk will be my bed tonight,
Tree brushes I rest my head tonight,
I p*ss in a fence sometimes a alley,
My worses state in the streets of Cali,
Cardboard boxes,
Prostituting foxes,
Seeing these visions push me to be prosperous,
After seeing passengers yelling their mocks at us!

I'm an historical poet from under the old management of poetry.com.I've been submitting since 1999.It all started when Montell williams had a contest for poetry to raise money for M.S.My first poem submitted was published.The aroused Third Eye in the book called enternal portraits.This book was sold around the world.This is the first time fans have seen what Mark Robinson looks like.That was my name til I changed to Al-Qahira Bakra.You can find me on Facebook under this name.I also had two other publication in books sold around the world and one placed on C.D,that was ressurection.Climax was published before that and I was in california.They wanted me to come back to the east coast to recite climax in washington D.C to 1,000,000 people.I'm back now and apologize to my fans.I was also recognized as one of the greatest poets of the 21st century and I possibly still am.Well let me show you that I can be number one.You will see my work cultivate from poetry to lyrics and then you will see what level I'm on. more…
