“Crash into Eternity With Me…” is a poignant poem that explores the struggle between humility and pride within the speaker’s psyche. The speaker acknowledges moments when their ignorance blinds them to the virtues of humility, leading them to embrace pride instead. This collision of pride and humility gives rise to narcissism and foolish pride, which the speaker recognizes as potentially self-destructive. The metaphor of “violently doing the donut in my car ride” evokes a sense of reckless behavior fueled by arrogance.
However, amidst this inner turmoil, the speaker’s “lovely fallen angel” appears, symbolizing a deeper awareness or conscience. This angelic figure offers a contrasting perspective, urging the speaker to embrace eternity together in a state of blissful unity. The poem juxtaposes the destructive tendencies of pride with the redemptive potential of humility and connection, inviting reflection on the choices that shape our spiritual journey.

“Sorry Ms. Bonita” is a poem that delves into the complexities of desire, longing, and the internal struggle between temptation and restraint. In this poem, the poet expresses an apology to Ms. Bonita, suggesting that while he desires to be with her intimately, he ultimately decides against it.
The poet’s reluctance to lay with Ms. Bonita could stem from various reasons:
Moral or Ethical Considerations: The poet may be grappling with the ethical implications of engaging in a physical relationship outside of a committed partnership or marriage. He may feel a sense of responsibility or guilt towards his existing commitments.
Respect for Ms. Bonita: Despite his desire, the poet may deeply respect Ms. Bonita as an individual and wish to avoid actions that could potentially harm or disrespect her in any way. He may prioritize her well-being and emotional integrity over his own desires.
Fear of Consequences: The poet might fear the potential consequences of pursuing a physical relationship with Ms. Bonita, such as damaging existing relationships or facing social or personal repercussions. This fear could act as a deterrent, prompting him to refrain from acting on his desires.
Self-Control and Discipline: The poet may possess a strong sense of self-control and discipline, choosing to prioritize long-term fulfilment and emotional stability over momentary gratification. He recognizes the transient nature of physical desires and opts for restraint, seeking deeper connections and fulfilment beyond the physical realm.
Overall, the poet’s decision not to lay with Ms. Bonita reflects a complex interplay of moral, emotional, and practical considerations, underscoring the depth of his character and his commitment to values beyond mere physical gratification.

This week I came across this album called Sinema by rapper Swoope. This is his second album from Swoope which came out on August 4, 2014. At the start of the album Swoope as a Kanye West influence at the beginning of the first track but as he’s own signature instrumental sounds and flows as you go trough the album. Swoope speaks on the issues of lust and relationship with a female called Mya which you hear her speak on left voice messages on Swoopes phone at the beginning and throughout the album.
Swoope’s, at war with himself, either to get back with Mya or forget about Mya and move on with his life and focus on his relationship with god which he speaks in detail on track’s called “RightSide” featuring singer Christon Gray, “Beauty and Beast” and “Before Goodnight“.
I Can relate to Swoope on the issues of lust and the “art of seduction” like J.Cole would say back on his born sinner album. To be in a relationship with someone just for the lustful pleasures is just the wrong way to go.Swoope’s gives to full picture on what’s like to face conscience speak on his experience dealing with someone that don’t understand your walk with god and facing the temptation’s of going back to is old ways even though he knows the consequence at the end.
