Life is Too Short
From the I Knew This Mac Chronicles
Poem and Art by Fernando Amaro

I knew this Mac was ready to chillax
His Name was and still is Samuel
Well we decided to kick it
like some soccer players
on a Sunny Day during the afternoon
and connect to see how Project Cut-out,
was going since it had to be done soon actually.
Well our mission started when he
swooped me up from my aunts pad
on the east & we were off to the north to go enjoy
some peace & quiet   I suggest you try it
at the MLK Library
In downtown San Jose
& draw yes yall draw & practice
and peep some books
During this time of polishing up them skills
I decided to take a look at my life and the way I am living
and pondered if I am giving
All I could & should be giving
Am I thankful for living
I noticed how fortunate we are to be in our shoes
( me-Nike dunks-Sam-some black dress shoes)
Compared to a lot of my homies that sing the blues
and can't do what they choose, I mean really want to do.
