How brief is the history of time
Losing it a second at a time
This is for those MOMENTS
We shared and forever treasure
For lovers,friends and opponents
Whose love and hate we cant measure
Time ticking away
The tranquility of the air
Priceless we couldnt afford to pay
Lacing it with marihuana aroma
We thought it was fair
Feigning we were suffering from glaucoma
To legalize it, if only in our thoughts
Laughing our innocence away
Discussing politics and revolution
As we sipped those bitter concotions
In our youth of stolen promises
Talking of chances and If's
Of our leaders impunity and dreams
MOMENTS we got to share
That first kiss
That was almost a miss
Too much tongue and...
When we lived and slept poetry
Meeting weekly to read our prose
Sickly weekly from too much alcohol
Partying daily to ear shattering music
Those little MOMENTS
That we thought would last forever
This is for those moments
That I never told you I loved you
And what you meant as my friend
For those moments I never whispered to your ear
''How much I loved you,my little brother''
As your tiny fingers clutched on my fore fingers
Even though you are gone forever
I still recount those MOMENTS
