Analysis of I Pray

Kevin Anderson 1965 (Ill)



Blood, Fam, me, me, I'm up all night because I sleep during the day while most fall soundly asleep; I'm on bended knees, I pray.  I spend my time reviewing the events and issues of the day for all things of relevance.  

I praying I chose this side or that side of the fence which ever side is the most friutful , so hence

As the night slips into the another day, it brings with it the weather be it clear skies or cloudy black or gray.

It never determines  the things for which I pray. Whether it be for world peace or more time on earth for the fun and the games we play.

Kevin Anderson

From ghetto fabulous to military standards with customs and courtesies. The Path taken in life from the United States of America to far and distant lands has indubitably exposed me bare. The adventure has made the person; the man. Born in Illinois, raised in East St. Louis and Royal Lakes, from there the fam hightailed it to California. Dallied in Inglewood then Bompton or Compton, some do say. Signed my name on the dotted line bringing the world into full view. I joined the United States Air Force in 1986, fully retired in 2016, 30 years of honorable service and of making life do what it does so I can do what I do when I do what I do communicating my thoughts or a few. more…
