For her

I never thought never felt never been the owner of
Such pain such hurt such sadness
But I would let her down would hurt her memory
Would be a shell of the man she loved
If I drown in pity if I run from the light
If I forget who I was with her who I was without her
Who I was because of her
So with my life my actions my days
I live in her honor live to do what she wished we did
Live as the man she knew I could be who she felt I was
Today I take her words take this pain
Take my life and use it for more than just crying
More than just missing her more than being her last love
I take it all to be everything we would have been everything
We where everything we are
She, me part of me ALWAYS

Sudden Panic

They say tomorrow isn’t promised
Still I keep waking planning for the next day
Time steady counting my heart reps
Ten seconds ahead anticipating the next
Slowly speeding away from yesterday
Ripping me from the past giving me today’s separation
In the middle of the loss of many
I am offered invitations of the living
Making me wonder am I here to give back for what I’m given
Instead of further worrying I just misappropriate the glory
Living for the future working in the moment
Just for the chance to bless my life with LIFE
And take away this feeling’s controlling knife

Labels

Digest the mess fed to the rest
Or feed the need to bleed away the crusty crest
Those are the decisions given to the common man
Whether to live with your shame on your forehead
In the form of pain wrinkles from social stress
From lying to yourself that nothing can be done
Or put the world on notice and be called crazy
Labeled a loon for going against the constant
Fight the will of the dominate
Reject the long standing lessons of the time
Put the facts in large print
Tattoo sanity on your eye lids so when you sleep
You still project forward pace
And still get looked at funny
That’s after taking pride in what your given
Or just be like everyone else
Follow the fools worship the tools
But don’t use them to fix the mistakes
I think I’ll wear your misunderstanding
On tee shirts vomit words of hate for self-rejection
Listen learn and lust for lessons of logical living
Be labeled the unlabeled “Feared”

The womb of human life

Before they claimed that I was primitive they worshiped me
I was a god in nations a king over lands
A savoir of millions until they changed my skin tone and made me white
My lands where lush and grand
Wild life ran freely and people came to me with the hopes of peace
I gave birth to civilization brought riches to the surface
Turn rocks into fuel made monuments out of sand
I even owned the winds you sail fly and breathe upon
But then you took my kindness for granted lowered my guard with smiling face
And taught my children not to trust me
I use to rule the world way before Cold Play staked their claim
I am your first religion, your birth place, you father and you grand mother
I have since built your nation, suffered your hatred, and fed your blood lust
I am the womb of human life, the birth of humanity
I am the African people of the world
And I want what is mine BACK

And I demand fucking respect

I pick this moment

I pick this moment to show who I am
Standing in the presents of the motion around
Causing a pause as I make my statements
Learning from my past that have past me
To make me the man the uses the past to start a new beginning
I pick this moment to prove my difference
Instead of trying to stay equal in a unique world
I stand with my individual thought
That brought me back to this place
Where I speak differently truly being me
No longer trying to fit hatreds mold of me
For once in a life time someone has to say what should be heard
Have what is said demanded and demand that those words come to light
I pick this moment to do the opposite of the perpetrated ideas
Alter the alterable minds giving them the views of truth
As I teach them to avoid the lies of the flawed
Bring about a change those flames through the chilled eyes of frozen brains
I pick this moment to be what’s needed, do what must live a life
I pick this moment in my life to be who I am
Damn the ways of the world

Untitled blaze

Open the door find a path to more
As the days blaze under the southern suns haze
And phase out the ways out taking the same route that put in you
Fight the new bought of pain with a new game plan
Manage the shame of tears with inner fears of loosing you
Just because you fought back a few boo hoo’s
Just put on your shoes grab you tools
Ready the journey and keep that number of that attorney
As you shift that battle plan
Remember to aim with your strong hand

Scandalize my name

Take who I am and make my a virus
Kill my image turn me into a demon
Slow my speeds make me a sleeper
Push me down kill my potential
Change my words make me an enemy
Burn my message turn me up missing
Hurt my family make me a loner
Pull me away separate me from my reason
Blacklist me cause me to live alone
Scandalize my name make me nothing
Use your fear to drive your hate
Misuse you power and hurt every one that stands with me
Keep me away from who needs my strength
Break my legs keep me from marching
Cut my throat stop me from speaking
Remove my b---s keep me from procreating
Do all you can to try to stop me from rising
Only problem is you can’t stop my people from climbing

Resistance is who I am
I rush forward against the labeled grain
I am the fight within beating the world out
The bravery to change
The strength to move forward
The war over the right to think
The struggle to be what you want
I am the song of martyrs
The nursery rhyme of cadets
I stand for the new
Taking lessons from the old
I am what separates the leaders from the lead

I am RESISTANCE

I am where the beginning was born
Where history stands
How the present is lived
And the steps forgotten
I am the memories remembered
I affect the thoughts of scholars
I am the precursor of progress
You should learn from me
As many die to be part of me
I am respected, resented and long last ended
I am the where you will be today when it is tommorrow

I am THE PAST

I am the mother of the present
The grandfather of the future
The last five minutes
What was done yesterday
I am the days of last decade
I left lesson to now
I come from existence bloodline first string of DNA
And was the planter of the elderly
I am the reason of the seasons
The memories of the stars
I am what was there before there was there
I am the plan that the start made

I am THE PAST

I am the music

I am the music of the world
The flow of the mix
The beat in the rhythm
The rhyme in the lyrics
The shake of the speakers
I am the message in the song
The move in your feet
The drive of the bass
The uncontrolled sensation in your lips to repeat
As I stay in your head
Wake you in the morning
Put you to sleep during your flight
Add to your high
Collaborate with the days in time
I make you stand up and press rewind
I’m true unity in divine
Bringing together words sounds and beats
Giving motivation in the heat
Inspiration in the cold
I break the molds of the hold
Free your mind body and soul
Replay with your memories
With you when you feel alone
I am the music of the world
And your spirit is my home

Languages of Life

I speak blaspheme as my 2nd language
Freedom as my 1st
And I’m studying Revolution to make it my 3rd
I’m fluid in suffering but a teacher in pride
I use my hands to sign my thoughts in determination
As I grunt the sounds of self-worth
I write in poetry expressing my feelings but I take many languages of life
Click and Clacking I use my lips to explain tragedy
While I body speak movements to their feet
I practice a bit a vegan to tell the world of my health
Dance the tribal steps toward liberation
Still I have to make it brail for the politically blind
When I’m bored I double speak away defeat
Double think my decisions with a single telekinetic glance
Vocalize my image through Afro’s brown skin and a fat dick
Verbalize my blackness with opposing words to the worlds view
But the languages I speak the claim not to comprehended
I learned them with time oppression and inner fame
So if you don’t understand them I am not the one you need to blame
I just speak what I know
Express what I feel
The pass along my native tongue to bring the Earth’s natives to ONE

My Return

In my mind I’ve been away
From the way that I’ve seen in my direction
My chosen goals have been scrambled in space
Lost along the race as I ran hard to improve my finishing position
All the time I’ve had the best in mind as I focused my mission
But gave away my attention on hopeless causes and reachless intentions
Ready to return to my place
I forgot the reason for me to go back
So I ended up forgetting how to interact
With what made me that survivor in the traumatic
And leader in my solo pack
Now I’ve rewritten my personal pact
Using my racked up bottled battle scars
As fuel to fly me back to myself

Who I lost on my return

Difference Maker

Here resides what I’ve witnessed in my life
Seeing what lies in the minds of lies
That feel they dictate when the sunlight dies
Yet through the issues of time
I’ve sported brown feather angel wings
With a matching voice that sings the truthful glory
Of the rise above bigotries gory story
Standing on shadows from the light ancestry castes
My eye lids widen like a ground scared cowry
Taking in all I see visually learning to be..
The difference maker in the same over told story

I am the sickening feeling bring fear to opportunity
The break in determination
The switch to limitation
I am what hold back advancement
I flip the fuse box off turning the lights out on brilliance
The abuse of excuse
The lover of doubt
What keeps the best from bursting loose
I pull from expectation and leave only a film
…a film of pain
I am the problem that is the problem of free thought

I am…Worry

Withdraw

Now she’s gone and I crash hard
Withdraw from the lack of her

For a while now I’ve been
High off her
And at times I still
Fly off the
Scent memory of her
Feel of her
Words from her

Now she’s gone and I crash hard
Withdraw from the lack of her
Closing off from the world of chances to
Discover new ways
Love again
Never can I
Nor ever want to
Forget the love of her
The feel of her
Sensation of her and mine
Private times in our intimate life

Now she’s gone and I crash hard
Withdraw from the lack of her
At times I feel I’ll die without
When I cry about
As I think about her
Twisted thinking and fear of the
Unknown future of this lonely life I live
Close my heart off to any new love

Because now she’s gone and I’ve crashed hard
In this life long withdraw from the lack of her

Pushing on

"Seeing as we were the first in this place
We should be the first to choose our destiny"

A short week with long steps for my feet
With a tattered path behind no telling what hell ahead
I take a few words rattling in my head
As medicine for the same pain we all share
"Who am I, what route should I take
Is there anything left in this world for me to strive to be great"
Instead of worrying I pick up my bag of work
Replace the contents with will and self-worth
Just turn away from those pointless confrontations
Work on building a happy place getting rid of my inner villain
Who holds me back from truly living
I then take the final words I her from her love
Go out to put her message to me into practice
Suck it up and got to this job
Temporarily let the schedule dictate my world
Because in due time I will take my freedom
Look back on this all as stepping stones to my peace
Never turn back on to this life I was living
And push on to the destiny I see worth fulfilling
