IN THE EVENT OF MY DEMISE
In the event of my Demisewhen my heart can beat no moreI Hope I Die For A Principleor A Belief that I had Lived 4I will die Before My TimeBecause I feel the shadow's Depthso much I wanted 2 accomplishbefore I reached my DeathI have come 2 grips with the possibilityand wiped the last tear from My eyesI Loved All who were PositiveIn the event of my DemiseBy Tupac Shakur(Poem taken from actual writings of Tupac Shakur from'The Poetry Circle'in Santa Rosa California 1993-Provided by Leila Steinburg)
FALLEN STAR
They could never understandwhat u set out 2 doinstead they chose 2ridicule uwhen u got weakthey loved the sightof your dimmingand flickering starlightHow could they understand what was so intricate2 be loved by so many, so intimatethey wanted 2 c your lifeless corpsethis way u could not alter the courseof ignorance that they have set2 make my people forgetwhat they have done for much 2 long2 just forget and carry onI had loved u forever because of who u rand now I mourn our fallen starBy Tupac Shakur
AND 2MORROW
Today is filled with angerfueled with hidden hatescared of being outcastafraid of common fateToday is built on tragedieswhich no one wants 2 facenightmares 2 humanitiesand morally disgracedTonight is filled with rageviolence in the airchildren bred with ruthlessnessbecause no one at home caresTonight I lay my head downbut the pressure never stopsknawing at my sanitycontent when I am droppedBut 2morrow I c changea chance 2 build a newBuilt on spirit intent of Heartand idealsbased on truthand tomorrow I wake with second windand strong because of pride2 know I fought with all my heart 2 keep mydream aliveBy Tupac Shakur
