I wish you could see what I see
Your pupils connected to my heart
My dreams intertwined with your thoughts
I wish you could see what I see
Then you would look beyond the horizons to find me
If only you could see what I see
You would know neither the temple where I dwell
Nor my geography makes me, me
If your heart was connected to my eyes
Then you would truly know me
And you would realize that we are not that much different
And still not at all the same
You should shower yourself at my visions And feel my pain
Your Eyes would feast on chocolate mountains
That rest on top of red rivers and pool themselves into an oasis of endless love
If only you could see what my heart has transcribed
If only you could see life through these Ghetto Eyez
-Joseph C. Grant, Jr.
