Away From You
XZYZST (exist)
Dizzy, drained, I stagger into all unknown
I can't believe that I'm here
Where in the hell are all of these tears coming from?
I can't believe that I'm here
A sentence of death, just near the day you appeared
I can't believe that I'm here
How do I reverse the rotation of this earth, my dear
I can't believe that I'm here
What about this? Now you too have been arrested
I can't believe that I'm here
I'm MIA from the nanosecond. You should hav ebeen protected
I can't believe that I'm here
Black boy, lil' black boy, a target all over the world
I can't believe that I'm here
Blindsided by the irony of destruction of my little black girl
I can't believe that I'm here
Away from you.
A dedication to my daughter who is incarcerated in a California juvenile detention center. From a stunned father held captive at California's condemned row.
My name is Floyd Smith, #K-72700.
