I’m trying to solve a mystery,
A mystery of a puzzle.
I’m concentrating on it so hard,
I’m not even talking. It’s like I’m wearing a muzzle.
It’s so intriguing making all sides the same,
But you’ll never know if you’ll beat this complicated game.
This isn’t a game that you can beat in two minutes.
You have to have patience because at times it could seem endless.
Sometimes this game can challenge your character,
Your patience, tolerance, and how you manage your emotions.
Red, white, orange, green, and blue.
Have you figured out the game because of these clues?
It’s a complicated game that has no rules.
If you haven’t figured out yet,
It’s a Rubik’s Cube.

God
The one spirit that created me
The one who stated he will never forsake me
The one who sent his son to die for us
The one who’s always there when we need to discuss

Justice
Fairness, equality, rights overcoming
Justice is for just us, but it doesn’t always come through
They say life isn’t always fair
But when justice prevails, it show when somebody else cares

Rage
Sometimes we can’t control it we can only hope to maintain it
But when it comes into our soul, it gets hard to sustain it
We all have emotions, but this one is the worst
And then we can get out of control and start to curse

Disaster
Devastation, chaos, humiliation, out of control
A lot of times it can take its toll
A lot of disasters have taken away lives
And it causes a whole lot of mess and strife

Triumph
Pride, dedication, motivation, inspiration
All of these are words that helps you win
Triumph feels so good when you work hard till the end
And when you give 110 percent

I.
Sprite, Coke, Dr. Pepper, and Mountain Dew.
There’s enough to go around for the whole crew.
Grape Fanta, Grape, Cherry, and Sierra Mist.
All the sodas that make you wanna fizz.

II.
Suds coming up when you pour it in a cup,
When you hear it poured it makes a sizzling sound.
But make sure none of the suds hit the ground.
It tastes so good when you drink it all up.

III.
Celebrities talk about how they love it in commercials
When most of them never even had it in their life before.
They only advertise for the money and persuade the poor,
To get their pay checks and walk out the door.

IV.
They advertise products they don’t even use
And use it for their own advantage.
It’s kinda acting selfish, cause they don’t really care.
Acting like Shaq’s daddy, only in it for the money.

V.
I really see it as manipulation.
It concerns me deeply so I take it under consideration.
They think we are poor dogs calling us mutts.
They are all as fake as Kim Kardashian’ butt.

Trying to find shoes in my right size,
When I told them my size they looked so surprised.
I told them my size was a nineteen.
They talk about it all the time in the ESPN The Magazine.
Aren’t you the celebrity that’s getting a divorce?
Yea she’s takin’ all my money so I’m takin’ her to court.
Aye what about that Super Bowl.
Man, stop changing the subject, I just want to bowl.
You can’t bowl without the right shoes.
So what am I going to do? I don’t have a clue.

Basketball teaches you about life.
It teaches you how to be a man.
It teaches you, you can always get or be a helping hand.
And how to help others each and every way you can.
It more than just a game, it a lifestyle.
You can choose to be a fly on the wall or live wild.
