If I Die Today

If I die today

And being found dead in the morning

Ask my father why he threatened to "kill" me for tampering with his radio

And why am found dead? with a radio cable around my neck

If I die today

And am found dangling at a rooftop or floating at the heart of the sea by evening

Ask Melissa why she tortured my heart by denying me her love 

And why she let the lack of her love sink me into thoughts and drought my body to death

If I die today

And found clobbered to death by a mob at noon

Ask the mother why she 'overdosed' me with the drug, unconditional love

A drug that made me so high with arrogance and pride enough to get me killed

If I die today 

I hope the life I've lived becomes a symbol of something beautiful.
