“November In The LBC”

Feels like Summer.

As I mash down PCH headed West,

I turn left on Harbor Avenue and head to Chronic LB.

Need to re-up on some Indica.

I’ll take flower over vape any day.

Blasting Cypress Hill’s “From the Window of my Room”

With the windows rolled down so y’all can hear it bump.

You can smell the big rigs off Santa Fe Avenue

As the fresh diesel odor hits my sensitive nose along with

The urine smell straight from the bums tents as I pull up to Chronic LB.

Did I mention the Dodgers are back-to-back World Series Champs?

Yup, that happened.

Life in the beach city is truly something else.

“Kaleidoscope Revolution”

Pardon the intrusion

The mass confusion

It’s all an optical illusion

I’m your blood transfusion

All praise Jah in unison

As I smoke this vegetation

I go into deep meditation

Maria Juana is an inspiration

And the best type of medication

Deep inhalation, smokey exhalation

Before we end up in chains

Hand over the reigns

No pain, no gains

Skylarking in flames

What other choice remains?

“43”

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5,

4, 3….

Today I turned 43.

But, I don’t feel any older

Than I did yesterday.

As I take a long pull from my wooden pipe,

I start to think about all the hearts I have broken…

Lives that I destroyed back in my youth.

It’s no wonder why karma is such a cruel mistress.

I recall the day she first showed up.

Dress all torn, hair all a mess.

Two birthdays ago she just walked up to me,

Told me that she was here to collect a debt,

And immediately I knew, I knew exactly why she was here.

I had known for years that this day would come.

So I accepted what came my way.

Today on my birthday, I stand before you, broken but humbled.

Looking back I regret a lot of things,

But I know that all of that is in the past.

Nothing I can do now to change it.

I lost a lot, hurt a lot, cried a lot…

Now that I am another year older, I can only reflect,

And move forward with a more positive outlook and direction.
