I hate the way you talk to me
I hate the way you cut your hair
I hate the way you make me feel when you're around
I hate the way you smile
and the way you lie
Seeing you makes me want to hate myself
A lot of people had come and gone. Even those we confined on. Regardless betrayal.
It's absolutely true that, even a family can never be together forever,
a broken pencil
my thoughts wander
through the halls
of wonder
trying to make
beauty from mess
my thoughts they struggle
to put everything in place
Do more for others than you do for yourself,
If only I knew this when I was so young,
Would God love me more?
Would I be further ahead?
Could life have been kinder?
And as I grew older and wiser,
Calls countries make
Are made by their people
Calls countries receive
Are received by the people
Yearning for a country transfixed or transformed
Wherever my neighbor goes, people stare.They can't look away because of his neck and pink hair.When he goes out in public, people constantly point and laugh.It's because of his hair and because he has the neck of a giraffe.
Broken promises, tolerance,
Mixed emotions, stirring anger,
Passionate love driven by force...
Love- taken by force!

Poetic Designs That Are BRIGHT Light SUNSHINE ...
Or The ... SHARPEST of Minds ... !!!
Now It Seems That Some Heads...
Are UNABLE To GET Why I Write My Poems.... ?!?
Well Because There Are Reasons I Let My Thoughts Season...
Verses of Rhyme Through Scripture I Write...
Heat and terror in a crowd
As prone to spreading as a local disease of the mind
Or a regionally misconstrued concept in society
Well Now It’s Pretty Clear That The Truth Is Steered...
AWAY From Ears And Peoples Eyes... !!!
When It Comes To OUR LIVES... !!!
Because It’s LIES That Are Fed To Minds... !!!
Now Folks....
My Phone’s SMART Tech REJECTED My First Text... !!!
In A Way That Really Caused My Head To STRESS... !!!
So I Guess That It Was Meant For ME To Now Get VEX...
So It Seems These Days That A Complex Is On Display...
Where Being Superior Is The Type of Criteria...
That Is Being Claimed By... Various Names...
And Groups Running Loose In How They Exude...
Okay... So The Matrix Flicks Were Said To Depict...
A Lot of Things About How We Live...
From Things Scientific To What We Choose To Enlist...
To Keep Our Lives Enriched With... POSITIVE Things... !!!
Nowadays When I Write My Tension Lessens...
Which Helps Me Find Some Peace of Mind...
Enabling Me To AVOID... Depression... !!!!!!
My Writing Style Keeps On Progressing...
Thus When I Write I Do LESS Stressing...
So What Does Revolution.... ?
In TRUTH... Mean To You... ?

My DEFIANCE of Compliance Is A Poetic Science... !!!
So REJECTS TYRANTS Who Seem To Be Reliant...
On Embracing VIOLENCE Instead of Environments...
Where PEACE And SILENCE Deal In KINDNESS... !!!
Is it ... Coincidental ... ?

With Speech That Deals In..... HONESTY..... !!!
What is this from another time?
Shall it be his, or shall it be mine?
I do so wish for its perfect skin,
its brief height with high raised chin.
Now I Have Had It Said That I’m Pretty INTENSE... !!!
Which I Guess Is Because My Thinking Is STRONG... !!!
As Is My Poetry Because My Verse Deals In HARSH REALITIES...
Rather Than Fallacies And Foolish FANTASIES... !!!!!!
Well It Seems That These Days...
That FAKES And SNAKES Are ALL OVER THE PLACE... !?!
From Those With Names Now Claiming... FAME...
To Those Who Partake In The Political Frame...
I Think Nowadays It's Fair To Say...
You NEED To REALLY...
... " Know Your Place "... !!!!!
So Now It Seems FAIR To Say...
That People These Days...
... REALLY DO AMAZE... !!!
From Their VIOLENT Displays...
To The Things That Some Say...
To How They Then Behave... !?!
I’m REALLY Hoping That I HAVEN’T Past My Prime... !!!
Because My Minds STILL PRIMED To Write These Rhymes...
About ... Our Lives...
About ... Why We Smile And Why We Die... !!!!
About THOSE THIGHS...
You Know Sometimes Within This Life...
You Have Those Nights That DO SURPRISE... !!!
Now I've Shown That I...
Am INDEED A Dark Knight of A Different Type ... !!!
Now They STRESS That In Chess....
It's ESSENTIAL For You To Make The Right Move... !!!
It’s An Undoubted Fact...
That Sometimes It’s Like That... !!!
The Thing You Love Doing...
Doesn’t Always Bring Cash... !!!
For Those Who Make Music...
Or Those Who Write Tracks...
It's......
... " The Writer In Me "...
Who Writes Poetry …….
So In These Days And Times....

... " Are YOU REALLY ABLE... ?!? "
Now When It Comes To What People DESERVE...
There Are LOTS of Words That Should Be OBSERVED... !!!
Because MANY Are Called But Are Part of The HERDS...
Whose Lives Are Reserved To Get Their Just Deserts... !!!
Ya Know Peoples’ Behaviour’s...
Getting... Stranger And STRANGER... !!!
Like Most People I Try To Show GOOD Judgement... !!!
But It's Easier Said Than Done For Sure... !!!
Well It’s Clear That We’re Letting...
A WHOLE LOAD of CRETINS... !!!
Now When It Comes To Conversations...
And Making Sure That Talk Runs FLUID...
It Seems That Some People...
NEED To... “ Learn How To Do It “... !!!
Are men from Mars, women from Venus?
A woman aims to improve a man
But a man only wants acceptance
A man for motivation must feel needed
But a woman too must feel cherished
DAMN These... Liars And LIARS... !!!
Aren’t These Folks TIRED... ?!?
of ALL of Their Lies, Deceit And YES Crimes... !!!
Cos’ It’s A CRIME To DENY The Truth From The Minds...

That Exhibit How I Think About The Ways That We Live...
So When It Comes To Chicks They Can Be... EXPLICIT... !!!!!!
I DON’T INDULGE In Black Ways Or INDULGE In... White Ways...
I Just TRY TO Maintain Doing Things The RIGHT Way... !!!
But Let Me Make PLAIN What It Is That I’m Saying... !!!
What's RIGHT FOR ME Is RIGHT FOR... ME... !!!!!
The CROWDS... WOW The CROWDS... !!!
So QUICKLY After A GLOBAL LOCKDOWN... ?!?
Because of A Virus That SHUT The World Down...
But Instead of Silence...
We’ve Had Crowds Running Round...
Now It’s NOT About Making... PREDICTIONS... !!!
It’s About Airing Opinions Within The Things I’ve Written...
Because NOBODY Can PREDICT What The Future Will Bring... !!!
Now It's Clear That I’m A... Creative Dude...
But I REFUSE To Choose To Let WILD Talk Loose... !!!
I Choose To Use Wordplay That’s Shrewd...
When It Comes To News That Fuels Our World View...
So Is it... Uni Or College... ?
That Gives Someone KNOWLEDGE.... ?
Or Is It Just A... FACADE... ?
To Teach People NONSENSE... !!!!!!!!!!
Well Lookie’ LOOK LOOK... !!!

when I was thirteen years old,
I discovered the power of words.
not just in the philosophical sense,
not just in academic settings.
no, I discovered how deeply words can cut, deeper than the sharpest knife
rain when I was a kid meant
cancelled recess, rainy day projects
a chance to stomp in puddles,
the time to wear your pink raincoat
the older I got, the more I began to fear it

there are so many people in this world
so many ideas
so many thoughts.
it is a miracle that we can exsist at all.
there are so few people who rise about the rest
above the noise and chaos.
Death came to them and said
"Look at me children"
And they refused to look
So they were reaped with the harvest
Death came to them and said
"Look at me children"
And they looked upon him

staring out into a glitttering night shimmering by the lights of the city
i begin to think
i think each light is a life
a life that God loves and wants to be touched
One thought starts a dream,
One smile sooths the soul,
One good deed starts a flame
One word can change a heart.
To the dreamer who's dream-
Has expanded my nation,
To the dreamer who's dream-
They shed their blood, sweat, and tears.
Doubt wasn't a stranger, but they still faced their fears.
People who have made something from little nothings
That have gone before me, confidently spreading their wings.

I want to tell you,
believe me,
I really do.
But I can't bring myself to.
You see, it hurts you when you know.
So I hide it from you,
from everyone.
Blossoming remorseSage scented liesBlank minds begging to be divorced from themselvesDiscouraged by the aroma of the room.
My, my,
who do we have here?
such crude presence,
shameless attitude,
ugh, that coat is an abomination!
Sometimes
I wish I had scars to adorn my skin
The adventures
The lessons
The journeys
They must have walked through
To earn the scars they have
My skin is pure
Without mar
Typically the least regarded resource,
Used with no hesitation or remorse.
Things that are important go the wayside,
People swept away by the streaming tide.
Bus people really have a lot of time to think.. Weary, they are always on the brink of knowing what's it's all about. Bumping, heaving, sleeve-to-sleeving their way to work. Yearning to be back in bed, learning they are spiritually dead.. And all
I Stand.
The fires burn me
and I stand.
The people scorn me,
and I stand.
Darkness hunts me,
and I stand.
Your flame-seared name...
It burns...
When I learned of you,
Dear Flame,
The games you play,
The hearts you slay,
When I found this out
All thoughts of you
Just went away
Looking back now
There are many events
I wish I could change.
People I trusted,
People I loved,
People I hated.
Oh how foolishly yound I used to be.
Little WordsCreate the birdWho flew so highHe touched the sky.And when he tumbledTo the sandNo one heardDespite the birdWho got back upAnd tried again.
One for airplanes, heights, ladders, and jumping headfirst into lakes.
Two for condescending,menacing, phony, fakes.
Three for waiters, teenagers, blondes and the elderly.
I want to speak one more Language
That everybody can easily speak
Same as our food and the beverage
If not, it means, we are weak
Do you know how frustrating it is,
To be criss-crossed,
Overturned,
Outnumbered,
By men who don’t see my worth?
the greatest crime
in the human timeline
is that we killed each other
enough to think it’s fine
for a baby girl
to hold a gun, count to nine
Her lips were red like she had been drinking all the poisonousness of this world or the blood of dead roses.
Her eyes had a color of regret maybe because she had been thinking and wondering the deepest rooms of her soul,
Bitter and hot, the coffee slides down her throat.
Soft, tired eyes stare at nothing.
A distant intimacy envelops her.
A mother scrubs at a stain on a shirt.
Люди восхитительны
в толпе приятных апельсиновых веснушек
вокруг всех будничных пасмурных тушек
ты найдешь свое сияние
I dye my hair.
I play guitar.
I create art.
But, hey!
I'm more than just a semi-realistic stereotype!
I'm part of a choral group.
I go to church every Sunday.
I love the library.
To you I say this one simple thing,
What kinds of people do you see?
The man in the food stand by the road,
The woman who takes care of toads,
My dreams are so big
It’s hurt small minded people
They can’t wrap their minds are my big dreams
So instead
We humans, we stand united.
We humans, we stand so strong.
But some rights we are denied and
We're told we do not belong.
To the girl in my fifth period health class whose boyfriend told her she is not allowed to have guy friends.
The creaturesThey singThe creaturesThey danceThe creaturesThey ringThe creaturesThey glance
Dear faceless words, You've given me so much.
Your voice changes with what you say,
An echo of your many names.
As a wandering traveler, you taught me to see beauty.
They are the ones
They pick us up when we fall down
They have the shadows which guide us
They have the strong shoulders that carry us
They have the bright minds that inspire us
When we need something,
Sixteen years have pasted and I’ve seen the world for what it is,
From the boroughs of Western Pennsylvania, to the heart of New York,
To the white sand of Daytona and the diversity of Cincinnati.
Relying on God's Grace and Mercy to Grant us more than we deserve, we take advantage by our mismanagement. It takes only a few precious seconds to do something ordinary, that inturn does extraordinary things in someone else's life.
Fallen leaves and autumn trees
A chilly November dawn
When dreams won't take flight and wintry whispers wake
A man sits alone
What comes before the calming stormThan chaos, unfiltered, unfettered, noiseDay by day, night after unrelenting nightI am only clear unto myselfFor the ones, them and theyCan not understand, or is it won't?
Conversation with strangers
Young man with eyes so green,
with stories on your sleeves
Was it love and pain,
Or the thrill of freedom
Dear unknown
Reserved,
Conversation with strangers
Young man with eyes so green,
with stories on your sleeves
Was it love and pain,
Or the thrill of freedom
Dear unknown
Reserved,
leave no trace
hear the chest rise and fall
the laugh echoing underneath the soles of feet
camouflaging as pulses and hiding as dust
silence is golden, says everyone
yet they never are.
silence is a space of quiet,
air that is not full.
silence is a person,
who is honored yet never speaks.
silence is a powerful wind
The Black (pt. 2)
In seventeen years
All the roots have settled
The roots are strong,
They breathe.
In seventeen years
Our sun has curated
Created
Our plentiful harvests
The Black (pt. 1)
I am not sure what I was expecting
Here;
We have this-
This potential
And those who chip away at it
With their gold encrusted pick axes
We are not our brother’s Keeper but that does not make us his Executioner.
What right have we to take other’s lives from them, like a thief in the night?
The earth spins in a constant rotation
That no one really can feel
You used to be my axis
though I was a boring record
With speech impediments
You took residence inside my heart
I gave you somethingyou probably shouldn’t of receivedI’m weary eyedthinking about how you seemed to lead
charming sweet smiledemeanor honest and truthfulwhy did my heart have to be so couthful?
Things have to get better.
The way we treat people and how we care for each other.
We need to stop judging people for who they are or what they look like.
We need to be able to walk
A mile in someone else's shoes.
Changing yourself, just to better yourself, just to destroy yourself in the end.
Now, your strugging to find the beginning.
But, where did you begin?
The weeping willow
An interesting fellow.
Is she really sad?
Her drooping branches
Can hide contempt and sorrow
Only known to her.
And i never know
If the weeping willow tree
when he walks into the room,
there is no room,
only people
there are no people,
only faces and names
only voices and thoughts
his nonexistent pen
glides across the convolutions of his brain
Because you “love” me.
I’m left wanting more?
With where we stand,
You’re still “never sure.”
Because I love you,
I ask for “too much”
I make myself your wings.
You,
Love is fighting
Love is arguments and tears
Love is uncertainty
Love is doubting and fears
Love is disagreement
Love is pain
What is freedom, really?
Is it a group of people in suits,
A mob of people saying, "Back to our roots!"
Is it a tangible thing that people can hold?
The definition of freedom is quite out of reach.
I don't like people,
But sometimes you meet
some sweet ones.
Some wonderful people.
Maybe they said "hello"
The way they do.
Or maybe they just showed
you love.
They make the world
Broken Fixers.
This life isn't broken.
It was never a working thing.
The people didn't know.
They cry
Right and wrong is no longer definedBy a divided line Morality no longer exists in the human mindTruth has been overcome by compromise and lies
The LORD's Word
Creates ocean waves
They surf right through my brain
The love of the Father
Is what keeps me brave
If you're interested and bothered
To know my inner flame
Then Salvation
Humanity is lost and afraidAs I sit here todayI see our world enragedOur soldiers are far awayPolicemen are dying and going to their gravesI look up at the stars and I hear a voice within my heart say
The Princess and the Peace
By Sophia de Castro
Once upon a time,
There was a princess
Who dreamt of the day she would sleep peacefully,
Unbothered by the peas underneath her mattress.
And there were stars in her eyes That glimmered like the waves of the ocean Until one by one people came and snuffed a light out Leaving her eyes as dark as a black hole Instead of as bright as the sun
Many people want to live the fast life
That desire crumbles when they have to confront judgement's knife
There is no need to live in strife
Just don't go searching for the fast life
It bothers me that there's empty trash cans
And trash covered streets
People sleeping on warm beds with clean sheets
When other people are trying to fall asleep
With no pillow on cold hard concrete
The night drags on.
It pulls itself from nowhere till dawn.
And we all snuggle in our beds,
eight hours to make it through our jobs.
Girls leach off the men,
and the men abuse the woman.
jihadjihadis
what was it?who are they?
Not a bunch of crazywar-fuelledblack-clothedextremists.
Unable to speak out with all the screaming
People trying to be noticed in this vast and unforgiving world
Filled with negative energy and unbearable violence
Twenty one point three.
Twenty one point three million.
Twenty one point three million refugees
Half of which aren’t even eighteen,
Forced from home simply because,
The world spun as I drove into the sunrise.
Past the the piercing dot of orange light,
Ants drove around in their cars going nowhere
Doing nothing for no one.
I watched the sun rise over the ants on the right.
We the people the steeple of our country, that we hold so dear,
do salute and sing to this tune even though we do not hear
the pleas of the land and its ancestors,
the corruption we bring has been allowed to fester.
NUMBERS
Dedicated to the people around the world who I really want to help.
…but I can’t quite just yet.
America.It is known asThe land of the great.But as days go byIt brims with more and more hate.
People are temporary
and when they go away it's scary
it's like a part of you dying
but half of you is still trying
to get back with them, get back to them
you're alone in the dark crying
Remember when the sky was blue?
When there were no planes nor motors too.
The days of travel dragged on and on,
often taking lives like falling flies.
But as time moved on,
the hardships were gone.
How long will it take you to realize you are fake?
Don't you see, people are leaving you alone, doesn't your heart ache?
I thought we were friends, but you are just a nasty snake.
I wrote a poem to choke my sorrow.
Like a blot of gauze to staunch the blood flow.
Drops of blood drop and drip between my toes,
from wound that punctured lung like jagged bone,
We live in a society where defiance of authority is insubordinate.
Where the human race individualism comes correlative.
To perform an action that the people see as unethical,
Yet we struggle in a world that is identical.
I am sad
but never mad
no one knows
why
I dont get how
people can smile
when they see
people cry
You seemed to be lost, can you tell me who you are?Your face is familiar, maybe I've seen you without all the scars.That tattoo on your neck, what does it say? “All lives matter” yeah maybe one day.You're a man I can see, can you tell me how…You w

Surrounded by so many faces,a sea of people,Each one unique and different from the other.Each with his/her own storyA unique pastA unique futureBut each has had their fair share of struggles,
Is the head of the spear to blame for the stab? is the shaft of the arrow not hollow; but full of dread? Is the sword of a warrior not as blood thirsty as it's master? is the stone the fault of the sling or the caster? a battle axe, though anc
If only time could rewind
I could take back the words
That made me look absurd
And utterly out of my mind
There are cracks in the sidewalk that represent my life;A broken home;A broken family;Needing something to mold to.I've become the flower sprouting throughThat people tend to walk upon.
I couldn’t tell you what I thought at the beginning of this year
Every word people said were just words that…
Bounced off my ear
I graduated high school with a 4.0
Easy for me, everyone expected me to
In the beginning
I always considered myself to be like Sherlock Holmes
Logical, a little impractical, stubborn, and
Alone.
Not by anything other than choice of course.
But alone nonetheless
Oh how the winds have changed
all wind blows with the curviture of the earth
but not all whip and burst in the same directions
Some winds dash throgh the trees and encourage leaves to dance
We were texting like we always did.
He joked around with me like a kid.
We were very close friends,
This year I was filled with fearFor the future of our countryFor all the people who go hungryFor those who feel unloved Or ever feel that they aren't enough.This year I learned to guard my tongueI felt so naive and so young.This year it seemedMany
One person stomps
another wanders
planning there trip accross the map
another wiping tears from a lover
one experiencing thier best days
another at their worst
that person is your neighbor
My body is a metal cage, a stage name—
I call it ME.
Maybe I should call it THE THING TO BE CONTROLLED.
My body is a safety net, the one that I like falling into
Most of the time.
There are celebrities who people idolize.They may not know it but it's wrong in God's eyes.Jehovah God is the only one who deserves to be idolized.This may anger some people and some may be sur
To her people were art.
Their body, their face
Their mind, their thoughts
Their secrets, their souls.
People will always be people. no matter how many layers of rose glass we put
between us and them, they will always be people.
Too many people don't believe in The Almighty God anymore.They don't believe in him, God is somebody who they ignore.So many of today's people are non-religious, they believe that God isn't real.
The perception of life as we understand it is incorrect.
The true purpose of our existence is to produce and reproduce.
The extent of our mere being is not to obliterate our environment but to enhance it.
Look at the girl who carries such grace no one can critique.
Look at the boy who falls for her, regardless of how bleak or meek she is.
Now look at the child who kicks the bucket, but then at the one who builds a castle with it.
Close your eyes.
Imagine for a moment you wake up because someone is screaming;
Imagine that he or she is begging for help;
Imagine how the tears fill up your eyes,
When you realize that there's nothing you can do.
Seeing people laugh
Making people smile
These are just some things
That make it all worthwhile
What's the point of life?
The point of life is this:
Giving real effort towards
This is for a people
Who drink from half empty cups
Are afraid to love a bigger thing
For the fear of messing up
And this is for a people
Who's souls go which a ways
And their happiness goes up and down
A question rises out of the dark,
Spoken quickly, it darts like a spark
Into the ears of waiting minds
And behind closed eyes the question lies:
"For what purpose each day do you rise?"
You said you'd always be there
but now you don't even care.
I have no no idea who you've become
and it's not just me you walked away from.
It's yourself you gave away
Hey, girl, Latika, girl
Here's a box for you!
But don't you worry, Mr. Stein,
There's one for you too!
Liu from my math class,
This box will do you well.
And take this here, Syeeda....

Peach
Yawning, the light of a passing day dips the horizon in an apricot die
I have an illness.
I have an illness you cannot see.
I have an illness you cannot see that is terminal.
I forgive.
I forgive you when you warn me.
I should have been more grateful.
I have no one
No one has me
I am all alone
Stuck in a tree
The leaves are changing
The birds are singing
In comes new weather
That fall is bringing
I have no one
No one has me
Beautiful faces,don’t leave beautiful tracesas dying culturesand nude sculptureshave in Rome. We have subcultures of the like:Scene, MOD, Emo, Hipsters,trendsetters that write newsletters
We the (conniving & coy)
We the (sullen & somber)
We the heartaches
the heartbreaks.
Quell the earths quakes
with equivalent exchange
of natural disasters-
It isn’t a masterpiece
Though, at times,
It can move even Shakespeare,
This written language of ours.
The art of the mind,
Is much sharper a blade
Than that of the tongue.
I find myself a poet,
This day in age, it always seems
The world is bursting at its seams.
Brothers dying,
Mothers crying,
The most bloodshed that heaven's seen.
Rapes and bombings everyday..
MARINE
I have a soldier lost at sea
Drifting away as his mind would be
I await this soldier
Who I adore
Upon the rising shore.
Wishing for a storm to bring him back to shore
Gather your friends
And everyone you know
Bring some food
Along with some drinks, too
Spread the love
I felt as if the world stopped and shattered. I felt a pang of regret and sadness. I didn't regret being here with you or telling you that I care about you. I regret the way it happened.
Removal of passion was the last resort, the last plan of action. hoping to patch up the wound she left when she tore apart your heart and left it there to remain broken. Lost in the world, you swore you'd never trust someone again.
Oh God.
How did I get here
The world has grown to big
I've only grown in fear
This morning.
I swear it was this morning.
I woke in my mothers' arms
I was so big then.
Silence
We live in a world of noise
never silent.
Even when you want it the most,
it is never there.
We could be deaf,
but we can always hear ouselves.
Without noise
Everything we do is so fast
And so fragile
We don't consider that everything is temporary
We plunge ourselves headfirst into everything we do
We throw ourselves into out into the world
Body first
We all get offeneded
This is due to wounds that were never fully mended
There is no such place on Earth where something cannot hurt us
So why do we continue to fuss
My heart longs for those who are hurt
To learnabout variousspirit-tingling thingsaround your own worldthrough the eyes of othersis vital.
Humas are strange.
many are sane
but at some point they can all be deranged.
Humans are strange.
There's something deep about this love.
Deep goes the love that flows from our Father's heart.
How far does it go?
We don't know,
but yet we do know.
Because a man died and rose from the grave.
Boom, Boom, Boom.
The beat ensares me,
blood pumping,
my mind, my body breaks free
from the cursed ropes
of a binding society.
In here, they can't know,
In here, I go with the flow,
There's nothing you can do without people
Without people, you have no phone
Without people, you have no reason to use your phone
Without people, you don't watch television
One thing.One thought.One idea.
I am not a poetBut I know whatI really need.
People.
I need to believeThat each of my actionsImpacts people.
People.
As humans we all need some sort of company
Whether its from a stranger, family, or a friend
We all live on the same planet
Working together each and everyday
Helping each other the best we can
If you have ever
Walked down a street,
You are sure to remember
That many people you meet.
Not faces, per se,
But people still.
"Only some will do important things," they say,
Look around
Left
Right
What happened to my sunlight?
The rays of growth
I feel alone
Cuz in this world people don't exist, right?
I loved the way my lover touched me
Humans are creatures of communication and of isolation.
Like a mixture or light and darkness, a perfect shade of grey.
Other people give us purpose and thoughts,
without one or the other, we perish.
What can't I live without?
Some may say a tiny little screen that acts as a suitcase for our lives
the day everyone leaves my side is the day I die inside
with no one left could I survive on my own?
Hi I'm here to tell you a story A story about me Or you Or him Or her Or those two over there Or the ones walking behind me Hi I'm here to tell you that We are alike I'm here to tell you that blood flows through my veins Sharp objects can
A human being, sentient and breathing, cannot truly live without seeing.
If eyes are windows to the soul, then all you know comes through your pupils.
But count the eyes first.
A burden becomes a bond
With four neglected words, but
“Can I help you ma’am/sir”
Were lost in this fast paced world
We don’t take the time to ask because
How are you my dear?
They always ask, don’t they?
Day after day the strangers inquire,
Though not a single one aspires
To actually shun
People, people, people, we need people
We need others to push us to improve
Without them our good character is removed
Ever selfish gulls are rising in arcs,Knowing the waves and moreIn their squabble.
Watching waves isn't watching water.
They fight like the gulls.
Restless and cooking,They're one, long groan.
The taste of despair slowly passing through my lips as I swallowed.
Into the dark alley people joke and smoke blowing air onto my shoulders.
Where are you from you don't belong here written a long the walls.
Materialism
A word descriptive of our current society
A generation that's become submissive to this culture.
Numb to everyone else's feeling or thoughts yet
Someone died here
Maybe moss grows on their bones
They are forgotten
Blood spilled into the soil
Echoes the only thing that remains
They are long dead
Maybe moss grows on their bones
knowing when to stand down
being aware of when to shut up
allowing ideas to form without speaking them
all will pay off in the end
There will be world peace but only when Jesus Christ returns.We will be resurrected whether we are buried in the ground or are ashes in urns.Everybody will be friendly to each other, racism will be a thing of the past.
Catching the snowflakes as they fall
The taste of winter cold and clear
Staring at the frosty swirls etched upon the windows adoringly
The heavy blue clouds entrap the sky in their folds
Winter has descended
I. In All Likeliness
The overweight mid-forties man,
In the blue button up and beige cardigan,
Pacing between the arrivals board and baggage claim,
When Jesus resurrects us in the future, we will live in paradise.There will be no sickness and no deaths, it will be very nice.Everybody will be best friends, we will all get along.
We die because Adam and Eve sinned.That is why our lives come to an end.Sin is what makes people grow old and frail.Sadly, we die because Adam and Eve failed.
Jehovah God becomes angry when people lie.It isn't always easy to tell the truth but we must try.I've lied to people in the past, sadly that's true.But in the future that's something I'll try not to do.
Jehovah God likes it when we thank one another.It brings him a lot of joy when we thank others.When somebody does something kind for us, we should say thank you.
Yeah, let it be they say
But nah, what’s the point of it?
When life isn’t rife with objectives
You got to hand it to them, what’s life without discipline?
Years has is it become
Seeing eye to eye
But very words
Gave thrills and shrills
To both, separated
By approx. of 618.6 km
And taking a 8 hour long travel
Reaching by 7 in the morn
Before one of theKorean’s sang his songs of fameWith his friend being greenTo the galaxy around And even before a job of a fruitBecame famous with its i'sWith which it cooks itself even now
It is amazing
How one thing
Can trigger multiple
Memories
A scent
A place
A song
A person
An object
AAnd what happens
To those memories
When we get older
She sits at home all day
people call her lame
little do they know, she has a job
a job that deals with
razorblades
She sits at home all day
people call her lame

a job that deals with

Life is a gift we should not take,Love from the heart we should not break.Memories, there are so many,And people we know, well, I know plenty.Our purpose here, I do believe,Is to give our gifts, not to recieve.
It was you
But it was I
It was us together we were unstoppable
Black and white
Then life
It was just a dream
Blue and clear
Reject and hurt
I cried a river
For it was a dream
Blue eyes look at me,
My dark skin is defined by the dirt and sweat of cotton fields,
My skin has been beaten, bruised and burned
The darker I am the more I'm tortured,
The blue eyes are evil,
In the end, they're all blurs.
Passing through the streets, some stopping to say words at me
Fewer seeking the words that I can give to them.
Unsure.
Each next one more insecure than the one preceeding.
I find myself suffocated under this mask
The list is streaming, people-pleasing an endless task.
Wishing I could break it off, but oh how vulernable I would be
If only I could see, the world as it is.
Jehovah is wonderful and he deserves everybodys trust.But we're not essential to his existence, he doesn't need us.He doesn't need us but he does want us because he's full of love.
Am I the child that begs?
The child that wants more,
Because I'm hungry but not for food?
Am I the child that crawls?
The child on hands and knees,
Because I can't take a step but can walk?
It is hard, but what isnt
At the same time it is so fragile and soft
Why must a gift be so corrupt and sad
We are human with emotions
Except sometimes emotions get in the way
Feelings are a matter of perspective.
We can dwell on them, allow the waves to crash over our lives in crescendos of pain, euphoria, anger, and fear.
he hands of Time seem at rest,
but with a simple, steady beat they move
toward an eternity unknown
to the world.
I think you all know this,
To God we do belong,
To him we depend,
Let him be your friend,
For he is always there for you.
There's this girl I know, she made my life change.
My friend introduced us one day.
Despite looking bad,
She must've thought I was rad.
We started slow, as friends, not moving fast.
God will never forsake people but many have forsaken him.We need God now more than ever because things are so grim.Many have chosen to forsake God and live such sinful ways.
I love the people.
Even if,
I don't think they need it.
I don't think they want it.
I don't think they know it.
I don't think it even helps.
Life is the sum of experiences,
That we encounter as we go through every day and every second.
Life is awesome.
So awesome, that people on earth can’t believe what we see.
People will believe things that they choose to believe
Most don't see the reality behind what their eyes show them
Then again, we can't change the way they are
When in fact, this is how we believe what people really do
In your colossal columns of sand and grit are buried, forgotten under barrels of fresh paint,
Kaleidoscopes of vision and neon colors. fast. Bumper-to-bumper on 95.
Jesus left Heaven to be one of us and God allowed his only son to go.Jesus died so that people will not be sent to the Lake of Fire below.Jesus performed miracles.He was truly remarkable.
The world is a place full of people
they are everywhere, covering every inch of the earth
Love blooms like pretty eyelashesunsuspecting fly landsvicious Venus snaps her preyrips him to shredssucks him dryheartlessa carnivorous plant!

Peel off my layersas we flip through feelingslike perusing some brain file.You're so indiscriminatewith your oh-so-inconsequentialattitude seething mythical fury.When real love flees
In cold varietal fashionWith stone-faced disregardShe sashays the runway of hungry eyesWith a made up heartAnd painted faceExposed to all in frilly laceThe cover under where she'll hide
There was a fundamental disconnectas he thrust out his hand to shakemine and missed three feet wide.One eye looked off left and the otherseemed to stare right through me.
Liquid bodiesfluid mindswhy not heartsthat freely pour?They congeallike Jell-O on ice—for a timethen calcifyin reticent mineralitycompounding the granite wall
So many thingsI'd never doare done and that is allthese many thingsI hate I've doneare done—I can't recall;But if I couldgo back in timeundo what I have wrought,would it still
Fossil fashions,The relics of yesterday,I dig through my drawers.TV, radio, papers, people,A thousand words a second,A downpour floods my garden.The sun shines on all,
In the darkness you can see not a soul
see not a soul but your own
so there you are alone with familiar stranger
feeling like you're in danger
surrounded by who knows what
the mystery weighs way too much
Rain, Rain
Some say you're pain.
You can destroy a community
to which there is no immunity.
People always wonder why the greatest & most loved people leave us. We are all flowers in a beautiful a garden. Some of us more beautiful than others, whether it be because of our actions, or simply our hearts of gold.
No one has time,
But there's always time
To complain.
No one sees,
But they do.
No one cares
In this world
We once called home.
I only know
What I've been told,
A love day filled with joy and laughter.
Went to the cinema after.
A breeze of beauty passed me by.
Acknowledgement and denial,
My normal self but still a cosmic pawn.
Choices are given, options limited.
I am a wanderer
I allow myself to explore the outer reaches of my mind and world
I am a wanderer
I allow myself to explore the outer reaches of my mind and world
Two cultures can get me twisted,
The white community is always listed,
When filling out my race,
1 mississippi, 2 mississippi, 3 mississippi, 4 mississippi, 5 mississippi.
I just wasted 5 seconds of my life.
6 mississippi, 7 mississippi, 8 mississippi, 9 mississippi, 10 mississippi.
The man behind the photo is unknown
his true nature are within the pixles of a picture
his facial expression like the cover of a book
There you are again
And here come the tears
I try to defend myself
But it never works
There you are again
Why are you mad?
You broke it off
You hurt me too
It is the way each gear ran perfectly,
The way the ticks lined up.
It was how the metal clashed with me,
It couldn’t get enough.
Let’s fall,
Let’s rise,
Then stall,
Then surprise.
You have one heart, love as much as you can.
You have one brain, always be willing to learn.
You have one soul, be peaceful.
You have two lungs, appericate every breath you take.
I don't wear makeup
I don't dress to impress
And I have no filter, so it's been said
Maybe I should buy one
but I don't don't have the time
Cause it takes forever to come up with a rhyme
Where the air flows fresh and crisp
And life radiates shades of green
And orange and red and colors
That run deeper than the scars
Of the Earth;
Where the grasp of man halts,
Giving way to nature,
Everytime you start a story with once upon a time
It has to end with "and they all lived happily ever after"
Sounding in a rhyme
Ending with laughter
My story doesn't
I am of flesh
I breath sin
I keep to myself
what lies within
But do express
And I'll give you notice
When storms draw near
I feel their closeness
Love one love all
Green sap oozing
from great gashes
in trees
into
paper, furniture, and houses
all for human needs
like the great stashes of black oil
oozing....
into
lakes, rivers, and streams
There is no human “norm”
Black ink writing forget-me-not notes on your skin,
You’ll hear future melodies
Where people dance euphorically exhausted
Dousing pale cheeks with spirit heated
Ive started seeing the universe in everything.
And that is why when i am in nature i am full of joy.
because i know that everyone has a bit of blue sky in them
and even when the dawn approaches,
Tati who has wings like a blanket
and asks who loves him
who is wind and a rock and a shoulder
who is a trailblazer and an alarm clock
whose hair is like the breath of a kite,
What is money without those you love
Everyone wants grip allow me to be the glove
You wonder why the stars get coked up
While there are people struggling to get coated up
Her morning turned worse
And inside every detail would seem to radiate change
Like oiled chrome paint with unexpected comfort
The driver glimpsed ahead,
Steering down, the expanding ride,
Baby, I've been thinking about us lately, The way I smile when I'm in your arms, How you make me feel safe and at home, I just wanted to let you know, I love you, and I don't want to live without you, so lets forget about tomorrow, Lets forget abo
We are a messed up generation
We hurt the ones that love us the most
and love the people that couldn't give two shits about us
Time has warped my view as to what the word "love" really means
Some of us confuse it
Do you remember the first time we met
You showed me Love that I'll never forget
As time went by me and you got real close
I have been told
"Where there is a will, there is a way"
When I grow old
I want to see Christ walk my way
I have been blessed with many gifts
Somehow I want to use them
Throughout my years,
I've been broken down
and I've been built up.
I've loved
and I've lost.
I've changed others
and I have changed.
I've drank
and I've smoked.
I've cried
Looking through my perilous soul
I see nothing but a toll
Is this me I see in this photo
Or just a way to fit in with a motto
Nothing ever seems the same
With filters getting all the fame
I am a pile of leaves waiting to be affected by the winds of time;
Scared of what the future holds.
I lay here calm and collected, my emotions trapped inside;
Bursting at the seems, my sanity is wavering.
Want to hold your hand,
It's right there for me to grab,
I feel close to you,
I'd hate to see you go, don't.
You thought you knew my name
But all that time all you saw an image
Looking down and up "Yo!!! mame..."
Don't insult me I thought
why don't you be like them gentlemen...
I can't stand you!!!
Strangers that had a past.
Enemies that had a bond.
Two seperateminds, two seperate hearts.
Trying
Failing
Hurting
The force grows stronger
But it never touches.
Civil War of the heart.
I was fifteen before I realized that no one could ever love me as much as I loved me
And a revelation of poetic, creative, fertile ideas were released inside of me
To strive and hold is what matters most
The love we have sometimes hard to control
We can fight and argue all day long
But in the end we know whom we belong
Life isn't what I thought, It's full of mystery...
Too fast and short, too bad too good,
Different people different manners,
Too hot too cold, too lively too dull,
Family…
The definition of it: is a group of persons who came from the same ancestor
Sadly though no one wants a family anymore
From the generation that has now been born
love is nothing to pease
war is death to us all
between god an angels the war is small
to us love is all
peace inposible
war always untll we are dmned
etween devils and god we're left for dust
Break away from everything.
Are you aware of whom you are?
Remember when you were little and you knew
Exactly what you wanted in life?
As we walk on this world
Full of anger and hate
Nos vemos nosotros getting dirty of it
De lejos venimos to look for a dream
Un sueño, that makes us forget what really exists
Yesterday I thought I was dead
My pen was gone
My brush had disappeared
My brain was lost
The clouds were gray
And the sky was black
The rivers were full of blood
When I first laid eyes on your goregous caramel skin, round brown eyes, and cheeky smile
I nearly fainted
And so did my parents
I could not keep this love a secret
I would not have it
Do you think she knows?
The way she moves,
Giggling-groveling-grooving
She cares too much of who approves.
Do you think she knows?
How she makes the world turn,
Living-loving-leaping,
You wear a mask like me.
We can both see it,
But neither of us have the courage to say it.
You always go above and beyond for me:
You sacrificed your time
To relieve my pain
I’m not who you think me to be;
I’m not a sweet innocent girl,
waiting or searching for love.
I’m not a delicate little flower,
waiting to bloom.
The feeling of depression bogs you down,
all the negatives are collapsing over and over again.
No one is there, and no one can help,
No one knows you, and you are all alone.
2000 chances were handed out
in hopes that they would never be used
the number on the cards and people waiting
for just one call to come in confused
2000 pieces of hope were believed in
Have you noticed that the clouds move fast when there's no wind
did you know that they move slow when thunder breaks upon
When we bleed it's crimson red
when we cry our tears are clear
we say words that have been said
Its been said money makes the world go round,
what does marry do?
what is once lost will one day be found.
is that true?
what goes up, will come back down?
does anyone have a single clue?
Beyond the shadowy, pitch-black night,
A new morning's beacon begins to ignite,
Now dawns a day in which you will see,
The people's will has set them free.
For all I want to give this nation,
RESPECT
Respect is earned
It shouldn’t be taken for granted
It is shown to anyone who deserves it
Respect is earned
She smiles so deeply that it leaves imprints on her cheeks.
Her laugh brings joy to others that are far beyond her reach.
I always wanted to be different, to have those pretty words roll over my tongue and fit in the cacophony of sounds
i didn't want to sit by myself at the lunchroom, wanted a crowd of admirers
I wanted recognition
The tree laughs
Children play below
On a hot summer day so slow
The tree is shade
And the tree likes offering aid
The tree smiles
A couple look deeply into each other's souls
Tea on a Sunday
evening
Two young girls
hide behind their words
their illustrations
small talk eludes
dark realities
too afraid to address
the monster
in the closet
Negative thoughts
Leading to Emotional distraught
Making appearances that only seemed to be of neglect
Heartbroken to realize that people will never see you prosper
Your hard work neglected
There is a beauty in everything
There is a beauty in simplicity
In the simplicity of a smile
That shines as bright as the sun
that warms every inch of my body
In the simplicity of laughter
Who do I write for you ask?
Will I ever be heard?
I write hoping someone will listen.
Someone…anyone.
I write for the women who have been exiled by their friends,
Take them off!
Take them off!
Show us who you really are!
Let us see
Thy true face
Thy true fears
And thy true hates
There's a nod from a performer
A smirk from a magician
Be yourself they say
its ok your no different from the rest
But as soon as you choose to step out the closet
Its like your all a mess
You cant be different
if you have a mindeset
of everybody else
I always hear the words from men and women,
they say to me that i'm not who they thought I'd be,
should this offend me or should I just let it be,
let them believe that I can be who they see of me,
They gave into cars
And now they hardly walk
They gave into TVs
And now they hardly exercise
I've got you in my bare hands.
Yet it's as if I am at your command.
It's no wonder you have a reputation for being so witty.
You know my secrets and at times they're for you to keep.
I see my world through my eyes,
We're all given life but everyone dies.
You might be blue and i could be pink,
But that diference should'nt influence how we think.
We could hear something and swear its the truth.
How much
glorification,
can one
person endure
before becoming
the person
everyone
wants them to be,
instead of the person
The Making of a Leader
A leader.....who is leader?
Many are they in sight,
Many that I see,
But one stands out, not because of her skills it seems
But for her deficiences.
I like to scream
I like to shout
I like to faithfully cast those negative thoughts out
I think big
I imagine wild
I'll go the distance for my travel crave mile-to-mile
But once indroduced to another mind
You can love me.
You can hate me.
It doesn't matter what you think of me,
becuause I am me.
You will not change me,.
I am bold,
bright,
a star amoungst stars.
Why is it that
I dream under this black sky again
Why do i feel as though i cannot see
My heart aches
But i still dont know
What to say to you
I close my eyes again
Today i must say it
Why must we hide
Why must we apologize
Why must we be criticized
For who we are inside
I see no reason to lie
People are monsters
Hating those who just want
To love
Trust me, you don’t want to know
The thought that just flew through my head
A game of quid pro quo with the status quo
This cache of nostalgia makes my dread drop dead
I keep craving for resolution
Sometimes we are bling
Even when the things we look for
Are so easy to find
Refusing to stop and think
I’ve heard America’s laughter and see smiles on their face I’ve heard America’s words to others, a disgrace I’ve felt Americas sorrow and anger from their mothers I’ve seen America’s racism and how one can act toward others I’ve witnessed America
I see people.
They walk past quickly
Quickly forgotten.
They are all the same
But me, I wish to be different.
I want to stand apart from the crowd
Not in it.
I see people.
The problem with society
Is everyone wants to famous
Nobody cares how
Nobody knows why
Nobody cares just how they get there
We all want those fancy hollywood houses
Showing them off on MTV
Most of the time
We try to look at someone else's eye's
Try to understand through their covered lies
But what we do not realize
Viens throb from shameless drugs that mezmorize
When their mama cries
I am who I am.
This I cannot change
I try to fit the molds of other people
I want to please others,
But when I try,
I am unhappy.
He says I should be a doctor.
A doctor.
Heavy expectation,
brings on mental exacerbation,
searching for demonstrations,
to lead this tired wayward nation,
Brought on by many cases,
of tasteful vs. tasteless,
The way they live, eat, and dress
It's sad to look, for you do not care
I like to look because I truly care
Do you ever think of those people? I do.
Watching them steal or beg for a dollar or two.
The family next door just bought a vase.
Venetian glass, they tell us. Very fancy.
Took a lot of money and effort to get here.
It looks beautiful, sitting silently on the table.
You’re not socially awkward
Nor are you any sort of awkward
But, what’s awkward is
When you say that you are
When you know damn well you are not.
Beauty in individuality,
Everyone seems to think with the same brain,
Singularity is a rarity,
Gather us and tie us with the same chain.
People wish to seek social acceptance,
Why can’t we just throw it all away?
Just let the hate lie and not let it consume us;
Why we have to fight each other.
We are all the same inside.
What Makes Me Tick
The sound of scratching,
On a chalkboard.
Using a pen and not putting the cap back on;
I always wanted to bethat girl;too brilliant to resisttoo pretty to dis,that girl that stops trafficwalking down the street.That's the pretty girl, I wanted to be
Social Media
Facebook -
Making a page that will deliberately describe what I want to say.
Stories told as a child,
Of the dead walking a while.
Today a girl walks on the bus,
Surrounded by people, yet so alone.
Mouth gaped open, eyes glued
Missing the sky that’s shinning blue.
My skin is whiter than the snow that kisses the peaks of the mountains
My roots are more knarled than the roots of an aged willow
My hair, my eyes, my mouth
None of them are ordinary.
Numerous giants stand straight and tall
While ignorant mortals to and fro run
The sun will soon hide its glorious light
From a city that is much too busy
Yet superficial stars will still glow
Love is pain,
Love is sadness.
Love is misery,
Love is beautiful.
Death is destructive,
Death is tormenting.
Death is feared,
Death is beautiful.
People are horrid,
Broken people,Lost and delirious.Where to go from here?Their empty, colorless eyes look at me,Begging for relief.For sympathy.I am continually saddened by their state,
On one day
A man was born
Unique in Spirit
But in body was none
He was never timid
or ever shy
An Honest man that never told a lie
But in one second his mana was swept
Thoughts zing here and there
But I don't know exactly where
I ponder life and all that matters
What if everything shatters
I see life change all around
You can see it in the trees and on the ground
Around it we feel like we are part of something greater.
Around it we proclaim our ideas and express them for the world to judge if they are good enough,
The world today is filled with hardship and poverty, filled with people struggling just to get by. from the United States to Europe, poverty is everywhere.
Of course, ears tend to lean to sweet summer gleam;
of gossip as gold as honey.
And tongues tend to slip, words through the lip;
of tasteless thoughts and money.
Eyes tend to wander, too low at the neck,
Life of a bully oh how it must be
to have people cower all over your feet
Storming and raging, even the skies are afraid
of who ever would come across you and your rage
The fllwing poem is two Elizabethan sonnets placed back-to-back.
Evolution favors those most adept.
It favors those with knowledge to move on.
So while the giraffes with the short necks slept,
People are like clouds.
So hopeful to see the world,
and what is has to offer.
But after time,
you get broken down.
You get whisped away
into a million pieces.
No one remembers you
This girl, she lives a normal life everyday, she wakes up, gets ready and goes to school. She is physically there but not mentally or emotionally.
Oh I'm lost in the world
Lost in a world called life
Running around trapped
Trapped in the world
Oh I'm lost in the world
Trapped in the mind
Trapped in time
Craving Clarity..
The waste is not made clear, the shame never seen.
The darkness covers all things, yet we believe we're clean.
"I am shameless," we pridefully say,
Then hide our feelings by the end of the day.
Welcome, to the world in which we live.
Every one of us is looked down upon,
Antagonized,
Rendered as a menace to society.
Sitting at a table with strangers, complaining, complaining, and more complaining:
"Holy hell, can these people never be pleased?"
That thought ran through my head as I was chewing up the terryaki chicken.
humanity:world peace!
humanity:fight fire with fire.
parents:be yourself!
parents:stop being who you are.
humans:love thy neighbor!
humans:god hates fags.
They often don't think before they speak,
Some words are strong,
While others are weak.
Some people are different,
Some are strange.
But those who are selfish,
They must change.
The youth have a caring wisdom we discard,
The vast expanse of their world stretched out
So beautiful, young minds yet to be marred
With the reality of ego, money, and clout.
If Time passes like the wind
is it really that Important?
If people die every day
do their lives even mean a thing?
Why are we even here
if we will just pass away someday?
Why are we existing
People are just people
who are people regardless
of their color,
I just found this out.
They have their likes
and dislikes
disinterests and passions.
Some are simple
I feel as if I'm a block of chalk
who nobody sees
Why can't I be seen?
Because so many personalities
stand out way more pronounce than me
I am merely a shadow in their presences
Sweet scents swirled in the night
all for naught
no one could smell it;
The brilliant red, radiant petals
When looking into your eyes
The brown flecked storm of hurt and goodbyes
Bores into you while a cement truck paves a new road for you to venture on by
When looking in your eyes
The pupil goes wide
You can see me within
All too easily
Like peeking through a window.
I hope there’s a glare,
Wind screaming, trees rustling, birds wallowing. The world indulged in this darkness. road signs staggering, black clouds consuming, grey shadows overpowering. Absorbed in habitual patterns. Wake up. Go to work. Come home. Watch television.
Once I had a friend
Once I changed locations
She had made the preparations
of my departure from there
to here
I didn’t think much of it
she was so worried of our end
Every thought is documented,
across the globe, throughout the day.
Personal life—an open book;
online for the whole world to see, and prey.
The drama, the agony, the hoots, and the tears;
The Sun sets every noon at twelve o’clock in June.
Square shell feathers chirping in their square straw nests,
Hung in the middle of a tree,
Whose grown in line like army rows, missing leaves.
Tomato cheeks,
Sparking hair,
disarrayed cloth,
empty chair,
young cold,
filing lines,
full chair,
similar voice,
no face,
one blue sky,
pairs of shoes,
i love jake
hes so beautiful
he wants to touch me
his words make me feel good
i let jake touch
he said everythings going to be ok
i listend
jake made me feel good
As one piece of iron sharpens another, we need to keep each other sharp. We need to encourage each other. An enemy might be able to defeat one of us, but not when the two of us stand back-to-back to defend each other.
Who are we?
What are we?
Where did we come from?
When we got here?
How?
Questions Americans need to ask themselves.
Before we say the word IMMIGRANT to anyone,
Would you just suck it up already?
The complaining,
the whining,
the pouting,
the absolute insanity.
You don't know
how good you've got it.
You're ignorant to those who suffer.
It was a peaceful little town, said the tall grass fields.
Always full of life, said the pear trees.
People would stop by to say hi, said the stone steps.
Life is hard, life is tough,
it knocks you down, sucks you dry, even when you had enough
you can't hide, running will make it even more rough,
stand strong, will it out, no matter how hard,
In a swarm of scattered souls
Lie traveling whispers in our ears
And yet the decent one stands alone over there
And even from afar the whispers were clear
Whispers shouldn’t be that loud
The way we see ourselves is a very powerful thing. It not only builds or breaks the fortress around us it allows others to step into our realms and puncture our castles. It displays vulnerability and hides destruction.
BLACK
By David Harris
So many times I’ve heard,
“You don’t act black”,
And to this day I still don’t understand,
How does one act a color?
Do I be decrepit, ugly, or dark?
The birth of our nation, with colors red, blue and white
We will never forget, people willing to fight
Tyranny heald the people in chains
But heroes were born, fighting in snow or rain
Some are tall some are small
some walk and some crawl
some are white some are yellow
some say buddy others say fellow
But the worst thing of all my people
people today think they know what respect truly is,
when they don't even respect the opinions of others.
Humans are drugs to me.
Tucked together in a cabinet out of neccessity.
I'm a fool, popping person after person.
Each package labelled with the empty promise of progression.
Out in public
You can get looks
For the way
You blow your smoke
Not giving a damn
Who walks by
And you still
Swear like a sailor
On the phone
Waves crash against the shore,
A storm is on its way.
I cling to my desk in a bitter hope
That it will all pass over me.
But as they walk by,
Their lightning strikes—
Cold, hard stares
People may walk by
But it doesn't mean you have to.
When someone is in need
It is the time to distiguish yourself.
The little difference to helping to not
Will make you the better person in this world.
I know what you think of me,
I don't care.
You see who I am,
you don't know.
She really cares about me,
she can't feel.
He feels the way I feel,
He doesn't hear.
To the "dear" Mrs. Langerman.
How dare you take advantage of a young child.
She was innocent, sweet and mild.
Just because of her race you stood there
Discriminating and staring with that dark stare.
The fields of war, we all cry,
Let’s take a moment and take a big sigh.
This isn’t what life should be!
Let’s just get along, you and me.
Let’s have the peace fly!
War is nothing but a sad, sad lie,
Dear Diary,
I'm. Mad.
No excuse me that's not what I meant to say-I meant to say I'm pissed off.
The voices I heard in my head are so loud, discombobulated, overbearing,
That it makes me wonder how you can be so sure about what the hell you are talking about!
I walk in late to class again , but I do not care.
The lessons you write up are incomprehenisble, and
Your monotone voice has left me to just stare.
My eyes are wide open , but I'm not paying you any attention.
Competition in this generation marks the determination of
H.I.P.H.O.P
We will be those who carry insanity

But isn't it odd
Each day before they parted they told her,“Remember”.So she did,she remembered,keeping their facesnext to her heartand listening to their voicesin the silence of her mind.
Run in circles like a mouse in a trap.
Squeak, squeak: "I’m a victim. Everyone else is a cat
Playing with the end of my tail. "
Only the strongest shall avail.
So black and white
You'll never understand
The smudges and strokes
Of my untrained hand
The lines and confines of my several binds
That bind and tie lies to those who must die
We blame others for what they can't be
But we cover ourselves in false identities
With our selective perception
We ignore those we can't see
But hide in lies and obscurity
It may be hard to believe
Red and green bows
Puffy, flared skirts
Ballerinas,
An instructor standing in the middle of the hall
All attention focused on him
With his long staff in hand
And then I see them
The girls,
I am Shapeless.
A Villian to an arching Hero.
I am a Pest. A Slug.
A Menace.
Forget MANKIND.
I am pushed. Punched,
tugged in all sorts of directions.
Do I have a mind of my own?
Again,
Wish I was colorblind
Differences weren't relevant
Soon as I was to find
A dog is not an elephant
But what about the hurt
so important color
sep'rating whites from dirt
Every morning prior to the bedlam of alarm clocks,a smile sat royally on the throne of her majestic face.One arm thoroughly rested across her abdomen,why the other searches for an abeyant lover that
Walking down the street
Its more than a dream
Its the reality that makes my soul want to jump out of me
What I see is a frightening sight
All different faces but no difference inside
At the end of the day everything is done for a single idea.
A single feeling. And that is happiness.
Happiness is not an object. It is not a person place or thing.
People are unpredictable.
If you think they are who they say they are, then you're wrong from the start.
You can only know somebody, if you truly know their heart.
But how will you know that if they cover up their scars,
Unlike raindrops Two people cant be in the same place at the same time They can be next to each other But they cannot be where the other is Unless of course those two people are the same person As one they join Like water falling from the sky, the
I used to steal everything
All my jewelry and perfume
But you can’t steal from a coffee shop
So that’s where all my money went
I knew a girl who took fire to her arms
we got to thinking,
well,
what if people
weren’t people?
he was:
that small record store,
the one you’d see on the corner
filled with music and books and beauty
Brace all of those that you meet. This life is not certain, it is not steady…But the power to control it is within yourself.
Believe in the best in others, but be wary of the misfortune they may bring.
We are undefined by words alone, the ones who stand, the rolling stones.
They will say stand out in a crowd and try something newBut heaven forbid that you actually do.
Darkened skies, and places of dismayViolence, deaths are the best way to describe todayMalevolent personalities and families that strayHomeless people, jobless people, tend to struggle everyday
No matter what your name is, where you were born, what language you speak, where you live, the amount of money you have, how tall you are, how much you weigh, what your name is, what you look like. We humans are all the same and equall.
Why can’t you believe that I deserve it all?
Is it because I am young, I am black? Because I’ve answered the call?
You claim success is colorblind, that any can achieve,
Dying White Rose
A beautiful white rose
with petals so bright.
She clings to the ground
hoping for life.
She's short of air;
She can not breathe;
I can’t figure this out.
Do we change throughout life?
Or
one person the day we were born,
And the same when we depart?
Take colors.
The day you were born
You were red.
How are feelings expressed? Through words? Through voice? Just one sound or one word can illuminate ones heart,
it grows and becomes a never ending cycle. It continues to grow until it spreads across the world like a wildfire,
Things change
Nothings the same
Life goes on ...
Someone gets killed
People get ill
Life goes on ...
Things get better
You learn to accept
Life goes on ...
Tell it as it is.
We have multiple ethinicities.
Multiple sexualities.
Multiple religions.
Multiple desires.
Multiple needs.
Multiple looks.
Multiple situations.
We have one thing.
Lifes not about what you stand to loose or gain
But
Who you stand for
Why you stand
What you stand for
Where you stand
And
How you stand.
Life is the sweet memories you make with others
forthcoming opposition is a blessing.
you should be worried when you're not sure
when the attack will start
the echoes of malice are a blessing.
you should be worried when the whispers of hatred
(First time recording from probably a year ago... Flow is to be tampered with still and an ending is still debated.)
How could you fight the unknown with no remorse?
When they are simply… the unknown?
Like in wars, or battles
How could you go about, scream and shout, over people you have never seen?
We’re living in a contradicting society
A society where most protest against abortion
But in the same breath look down upon teenage pregnancy
A society where parents point a stern finger telling you what not to do
Cast off
Sea winds light.
Laying along the gunwale, I drape my arms
Skimming the heavy blue
A warm body, irresistible, so cohesive
Unstoppable motion
Sacred air
Face of calm, archaic organisms
Why you? The one i adore. Why you? The one with a high score. Why you? Who seem so real. Why you? The one whos skin always peel. Why you? Who makes my blood boil. Why you? Who's mind is soiled. Why you? Who sweeps my mind. Why you?
Three out of four was the turn out.
Growing up in a single parent household,
College Park, Ga 30349 was my hood until my mother found a way out.
Moved us quite a few times, then we hit Henry County.
Do you see that being black is a state of mind?
That we have moved beyond the whips and the chains,
and have moved on to the place where everyone is kind.
But wait.
Everything good is white.
People
Only human
We make mistakes
We mess up and try to fix it
Only then do we realize
That it's too late.
Too Late.
We are people.
People of a hope that binds us.
Time
Neither here nor there,
Untouchable, Unchangeble
Still changing, Always twisting
What are you?
Apparition, Spirit?
Moving soundlessly
Constantly
Your never ending song
Love joy peace to these we wish to comply
The morals of which our ancestors applied
We try to reach humanity with our peace talks and love speeches
As life goes on, we dwindle away,
From fighting and lying, everyday.
We place ourselves to lose the race,
By putting ourselves in a never-ending chase:
To be the best
To be number one
The artificial smiles, the spewing lies,
The uninterested lovers, and partners in crime,
The "must focus" and pushes as the way to the door,
The success of our futures is what we were here for,
I like the way people fidget when they stand -
When they’re not quite comfortable,
Unsure of their feet, where to direct their eyes, or the trailing of sentences..
Earth Where injustice and immorality are the norm Where bloodshed and betrayal occur daily Where the few dominate over the many Where war has become reality and generations are raised in conflict
What are we, the people of today?All living a life, without much to sayMinor differences, amongst each otherBut all alike, one way or another
We stand to fall,
We run to crawl,
We laugh to cry,
and we live to die.
No matter what turn you take,
your actions all lead to fate.
The fate at the end of the road you're on,
What does being black really mean?
Is it what's being represented on TV?
Does it relate to a status quo,
or what you truly know?
Isn't it just the pigment of one's skin,
The gates open for a vagabond with a smile,
a clown with no home
who has lived all alone,
who never stays for a while.
His hopes and dreams as it seams
is to bring joy to the masses
Some people keep secrets like they’re going out of style,
Like they’re a form of currency,
And if they don’t have enough they’ll go broke.
And others, well, they give them out to any ears willing to listen,

They devoured her
They saw her with greedy eyes and decided to feast
They came upon her suddenly
She in all her glory
They covered in deceit
Wove illusions of inspired beauty
And stole from her
My life is weak sauce. Not bad for what it is, but still.
You exemplify gloriously what I’m not even close to having:
You know more words and more ways to talk. You stand eight inches taller and look ten tons stronger.
I am a parasite. I feed from the fear and pain of the cowards; the unfaithful fall as I consume their souls. I devour their sense of direction, hindering their escape.

Dashing left, dashing right.
Through the trees, through the night.
The sound is near, the woods are hushed.
Barks ring out, flowers crushed.
Sounds of the noble hunt flow
and as the sounds of the dog grow
I look up and down every hallway of my life
and I see them lurking in the shadows
As I sit in the light.
And wait for them to disappear so I can hear myself think,
But they stay, trying to draw me near.
Smile. Laugh. Nod.
Impersonate a goddess.
Your smile is fake.
Your laugh is fake.
Everything is fake, fake, fake.
You’re not happy.
You settled for less.
Starting a phrase with an I makes you selfish all the time, so think before you rhyme and take time on every line
If you really wanna hit the spot, hit 'em where it hurts
Walk against the wind my friend and let me see your tears, not of sadness or ambition but because you’ve made your mission. Exceed all given of you and then show me all you’ve done, please put down that paper gun.
Maybe you do not understand that the past is in the past, yet I am still chained to it.
Maybe you do not understand that every time someone mentions that theme I cringe.
When I was a child you held me tight,
but now it's time for me to say good bye.
I'll miss the way you kissed me good night,
and how you woke me up by just turning on one light.

She's such a sweet girl, a joy to have in class
She gets on well with the other children
Alone, it is a masterpiece,
and it recreates its status.
Forgotten practicality,
Leaves it just a decoration.
I'm not a hero,
but i can save you from feeling worthless.
I'm not a hero,
but i have the power to make you feel important.
I'm not a hero,
but i can save you when you fall.
I'm not a hero,
These hands delve into the ground to remake what I once found
When I was better and my conscience was light as a feather
I made this as empty as I feel, but now I'm not alone
I am a weight eroding those
She's a rock and she's sinking.
Deeper and deeper.
Those supports, what supports?
Flew away.
The creator's got skill in mind and
pain in movement,
Unavoidable.
Degrading, degrading and angry.
I stand there,
taking your hateful, tasteless stares.
But I don't dare cringe,
for I fear that would be giving you what you want.
I walk directly into your vile comments,
Something dangerous lurks in the shadows
It’s gangling grotesque figure lets out an eerie cry of warnings
Night after night
Hiding it’s sunburned flesh
It creeps in the shadows
I’m afraid of the dark
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Sit in your seats,
For you are about to read a great play,
Of nothing but deceit:
We push the people we don’t understand,
We drown in our sorrows,
Yet extend our helping hand,
You know the meaning of stop and think,
You know the meaning of filtering,
You know the meaning to breath after each sentence,
Even better not externally thinking out loud,
Or even being blunt.
I, myself, draw the line.
Neither bounded by chains or by reckless thoughts,
flooded by the ignorance of those unaware of my flow.
Is it the way that I speak which inflicts fear on Man?
We were not meant to be a people whole.
Our bodies divide humanity’s soul.
We were born broken,
so that the life may pass through us,
so that windy gusts may not topple us.
Heart feels so overwhelmed
I look into your eyes
And see the unexplainable
Twists and turns of unexpected
Happiness and sorrow
All rolled into one smiling face
I thought I knew it once
Only to leave me helpless and exposed
I lie on the floor
Heart bleeding tears
And eyes forever lost
Sometimes you just know
Someone you meet
That will change your life forever
A memory you know
You’ll never forget
A conversation
That changes your entire
Perspective
My fingers are tingling
For you
Your smooth skin
And liquid personality
Like fire, taking control
Quick whip of authority
When needed, of course.
Leader. Hawk, is what they call you
It’s amazing how unobservant
Most people are.
Drifting, faces and handshakes
Do they notice he remains still?
Silent within and nearly un-phased
You’re just a slip in his routine
Snapshots, glimpses,sometimes mirror images of faces reflect in my brain.
Once familiar people and namesare now distant and fading ghosts.
Character
Deep within the focal point of your exterior lies character.
Character yet to be defined,
Character that has ceased to be be intertwined...
The World ending in Fire,
or perhaps in Ice,
Possibly Darkness,
Maybe Light.
The Fires of Passion.
Glaciers of Hatred.
The Fear of Darkness.
Light of Acceptance.
To you having control is the most
You own everything, from houses to cars
You snap your fingers thinking everyone is your dog
Get what you want and work for nothing at all
Yeah, that the life of a spoil rot
It's funny,
when people ask you if you're sad
and you just smile,
and say "no",
and they walk away, satisfied,
Thinking that they were mistaken
That they misread the moment
of pain,
depression,
Concealed and dark is the Magistrate of Heaven
As it winds down a relentless shimmering staircase
On the Chariot, bound by a mound of Earth
Racing toward a sufferer, heads faced toward death.
Coming from the same man and woman
The race known as humans have evolved so much,
But one true quality that makes humans unique is our versatile aspects
We can be smart; we can be strong,
The question always pops up with black and white people. Who and how can an person use the term nigger and nigga.
The infinite death.
The restless spirits, spirits separated by the sea.
The price of the Earth is pride.
Find the gift of love, the last one is vanishing.
The soul is green.
The Earth was once true and sweet.
I had this summer day
where you were fire and I was sand,
and we melted ourselves
into a rare and perfect glass.
Maybe we can be like marbles,
well-rounded and varied,
or maybe we can magnify
It’s a nice hot summer day
You’re going on a family trip
That is two hundred miles away
You don’t want you mom to flip
So you chose to not say a word
You thirst, but do you dare take a sip?
And there's a reason you shouldn't burn bridges,
Cuz sometimes they just can't be rebuilt,
and it's a guilt trip every time you try to mend that relationship.
My faith is corrupt, it's nothing but doubt.
Everything you promised became a lie; a way out.
Dreams are for those who can believe no doubt.
I can't say I'm one, belief was something I never could retrieve; a way out.
Everytime I go to tell you what's on my mind I lose control.
I feel so much emotions in my heart, mind, body and soul.
But for some reason I don't know how to let the truth unfold.
A Counsel Averting the Burning of Our World
By R. M. Otto
My skin crawls,
I can't help but write.
To you and her and my mother.
“I loved you"
I can't help but write
I can't help but paint
"I loved you"
Onto my head and heart.
I can't help but paint
I get in the way
Of planes and birds flying at me
They forgot
To save the day
And the people scream
And tremble watching their walls
Disintegrate
In a fragile state
Come down to the river
Come watch with me
See the ripples and the flow
Of the water as it goes
As what goes?
Your mind
Set it free. Find peace
Peace where?
Out there, on the rocks;
Running out of thought
Running out of dreams
Running right into the arms of bitter
Slavery
Walking into traps
Walking into hate
Waking into ignorance and finding
Bondage
Only one answer.
Why so much killing, from north to south, from east to west?
Why so much pain that no one should endure?
Why so much sadness, we cry ourselves to sleep?
There is little that makes sense in this world,
But justice is something I understand.
The equality of all men,
And the celebration of each other.
The Civil Rights Movement,
A time of lament
For the many lives lost
That stood up without a cost.
A voice for the people was what they all yearned
But many refused to rebel to avoid a worse turn.
It's as if they fear the color
Will drip off of their skin and stain their clothes
As if they may breathe it in
Like a poison
Like a disease
They squint their beady little eyes
Staring
Menacingly
Why have we given up on the little things?
Shooting stars that filled our hearts with magic.
Classic rock that filled our minds with madness.
Now we spend more cash to spend more time on our asses.
Because I'm Black
Of course, fried chicken
Is a part of my essential nutrients
Knowing how to "twerk"
Is clearly
In my blood
I want to be the smile that spreads across your face.
I want to be the one that no one can replace.
I want to be your dreams when your sleeping alone at night.
It doesn't matter if they think it's wrong or right.
This is verse about me and all of you
Call me blunt- I have no tact
But I’m tired of putting on this serving act
Call it vanity, call it pride
But I am a queen with nothing to hide
At the end of the world
People will cease
To love and trust each other.
People will stop dreaming
And believing
And hoping.
And the human family
Will begin to crumble
Piece by piece
Here I am sitting all alone, but it’s only in my mind
She is here, they are all here…scared…
Waiting…waiting for him to return.
All you hear are the teardrops of stolen bodies
Drip drop drip drop
