The jokes run rampant
Though his pillow case is dampened
He focuses his attention on putting his thoughts in the background
Covering them up with political jokes and social satire
Completely tired and ready to retire
He struggles trying to conform knowing there’s so much higher
“I don’t know how I can deal” as he views what’s real
Life as we all know it crumbling in disguise of better days
Hope floating on rivers of feces, healing drenched in pain
And when he speaks the truth the words flow out in vain
He’s burdened with the “sight” seeing facts can be fatal
Suicidal reasoning’s for his need for rebellion
“Dying for the case is better than living in hell”
So he pulls the keyboard close
Types up his manifesto in all caps to represent his yells
Sends his distain for the power structure to congress
Signs it with his new name and shortened life
Now marked for death for so-called “anti-freedom”
Sincerely 2 dots a dash and an out parenthesis
He grabs his rifle and a single shell
Says “I’ll leave by myself before I stay in their world”
Heads downtown stands in the middle of the square
In front of all the privacy proof cameras
“With my death comes FREEDOM”
Pulls the trigger and blows the on lookers of his acting
Back into realities hell

Touch you...
She walked into my light
Shinny, oiled up, fresh from her shower
I began to breath heavy feeling my deepest desires
Rising up through my body
I almost shake as I see her coming nearer to me
She stopped short of my reach and opened her mouth
Letting out a single breath before speaking
I knew she was mine
“Am I want you need” she asks
“Yes you are” I reply trying to keep my cool
But the rush to my heart from seeing her this way
Is winning over my want to make her want me
“Do you want me” she asks as she folds her arms
Covering her “Sensitivity”
“I very sure that your all I want and desire right at this moment”
I say this as I slide to the edge of the bed
I try to touch her, but she steps back
With a smile she grabs my hand and places it on the bed beside me
I smile as well hungry but willing to play her game
“I want you to keep touching me” she says closing her eyes
“I haven't touched you yet but I would love to start” I reply
She opens her eyes bring her face to mines
Her lips touch mine, but she grabs my hands keeping them in there place
“I want your eyes to keep touching me” she says almost gasping
I now understand her motives
Though I'm not very happy, still I am intrigued
So I look at her....she moans
I stare at her...she groans
I blink my eyes ready to grab her....she stands and leads me by the hand
I follow her....touching her as I walk with her
*To the balcony*

What do I see
What do I see when I look into the sky
I see what once was the limit
The only thing stopping me
The top of things I didn't feel tall enough to reach
What do I see when I look into the water
I see what gives the living life
And feeds grass that comes from the graves
I see the last place left to discover when I stare over the ocean
What do I see when I look in your eyes
I see possibilities of power
The chance at readdressing the problems with solutions
I see a chance at us being much more
What do I see when I look at the stars
I see tomorrow
Tonight
The future
The past
Life
Legacy
And I see myself getting overly artsy with this poem
But I saw it any way when I saw what I saw

Excuse me
Excuse me for being me
Being the unwanted thought
The endless feeling that eats away your mind
Deeply entering the most inner
Excuse me for saying what you wanted to say
Screaming out your hidden thoughts
Your stashed away emotions
With my stretched out moans
Making sounds that resemble messages
Ringing in your ears
Then I burn your tongue
Causing you to recite me
Repeating my mistakes in your words
Excuse me for dancing in your eyes
Luring you to move to my rhythms
As I become your envied persona
Who you want to be but can't since your trapped
Working to survive so that one day you can hope to be me
Excuse me most of all for being you
The you, you don't see
You, you tend to reject
But you that you know I'm here
Stuck in your mind
Eating at your conscious
Telling you to be more
Excuse me for pointing you in the direction
You desire to be in
But don't blame me for not being me
Blame you for staying who you know your not

Just like that
In a blink of an eye
The clocks tick down
The year changes
People scream and begin to sing
In a window across the street a face looks out
And just like that the smiles turn to horror
In a single moment
A child is born
He becomes a man
Meets a girl
They spend time together but they don’t think love through
A child is born as a relationship dies
And just like that the parents raise a young child in two homes
In a mind
A thought is sparked
The Moves are made
On New Years EVE a speech is to be made
Somebody plots to stop him from speaking planning hit murder
As the clock counts down he thinks of his child
The order is given to take a life
And just like that time is made to remember this moment

I’m a Freak
I’m a freak because I see the world different
Swim against the mainstream
Dream with my eyes open
Touch you Rock you
Move you Lick you
Without being near you
I’m a freak because I like it rough
Do it slow Do it all
Give my all
Fearless of everything
Prepared for anything
Waiting for NOTHING
I’m a freak because I still
Don’t have to tell you
Show you
Prove to you
Explain to you
That I am…

In the middle of it
Are waiting for the Revolution or some one to start it
Well if you look around and think you'll see you
Living in it now
The war is waging and you don't even see it
“They shot in”
And you getting hit with ever round
Things are happening that you don't like
Rules are being altered and you think you can't fight
The game is fixed and you know
IT ISN'T RIGHT
And you still think the revolution is just going to start up
One night
Your in the middle of it
Bombs are being dropped on your mind
Fluoride is poisoning you toothpaste supply
And this whole freedom think you have is the new prison of the time
Because they keep you working
SLAVEING
Glue to the tube as the rape you with no lube
The steal your children
Change the innocent thinking to merciless
All the while you are looking wondering when the revolution is going to
COME AROUND
Well it's here in your face
In your backyard
You are a casualty of the war you can't see
All while your waiting for something
That you in the middle of right now

IS it worth it?
I feel like a voice of reason in a deaf society
Blind to my signals of reality that I gesture to them
While they're numb to the touch of the facts
They seem to go the wrong direction
As long as they're being unknowingly lead
And I try to scream to them to stop
But they seem to just step off the edge anyway
I pull them from the table slapping sense into them
Pointing out the fact that they are just being fattened up
Still they rush head on to celebrate some one else's Thanksgiving
With my people as the main course
I am the one that cares....but I am called the devil
Jumping in front them taking all the bullets
They look at my bleeding heart, my infected open wounds
And instead of helping they tell me I'm “blocking their blessings”
I don't know if the fight is still worth it
Whether my own people are worth saving
Should I still be awake or should I go to sleep too
So I lay my head down and close my eyes
But I still can fight the need to move as I hear the railroad of prison coming
To run my mind over with lies and pock out my eyes from seeing the truth
I forget again that I have given up on my own folks
Re-entering the losing fight again
Because I see now I'm doomed to forever offer a hand
When most of us are just looking for another hand out
Wake up.........

Tax breaks and back aches
Tax breaks and back aches
Mass lies and false profiles
Infantile and senile
Judgment and detrimental
Institutionalized and euthanized
Immunize and sterilize
Property line and mentally blind
Media food and starving fools
Blurred and herded
Truth and false
Bless and mess
Right and left
Back and forth
No justice and No peace
Losing worth
Rich get rich
Poor stays poor
Justifying reasons for unjust wars
When it all gets worst
There becomes a need for new birth

Untitled light
He didn't have a motivation of what he should
He just went out and did it because he could
He wasn't pointed in any direction that would
Give him anything that he needed if he just stood
So he made his plan
Studied the situation
Made his preparations
Picked his destination
Then made his way toward is aspirations

Run
I need to get what I came for
Move in the direction I'm traveling in
Take care of the business I'm busy doing
Reach every goal I started achieving
I need to live this life I'm living
Learn what I study
Give what I'm sharing
Say what I speak
Seek what I find
I need to grab what I touch
Feel what's in my heart
As I think with my mind
What I imagined when it all began
I need to see tomorrow as I wake the next morning
Hear the beat as I play the drum
Take the first step as I continue to run

Between fiction and fact
It's got be white it's got to be black
There is no middle between fiction and fact
You can't believe a story and call the truth of it a lie
You can't scream pro-life but care less whether children during a war live or die
How can you be for Revolution but scared of revolt
How can you be for change but your only step forward is a damn vote
You know you've got to stand up and fight for what's needed
At times put your body on the line and risk bleeding
We're in need of liberation
We're in need of a power shift
But you can't get that mission complete if you don't even compete
Or say what needs to happen and be part of the action
Talking about burying words and forgetting the use of verbs is just a big distraction
You sit there and wait for the war to be won
But while your waiting the cause is getting lost
The focus is being changed and it's all being done in your damn name
It's no longer just about being white or about being black
Yet there is still no gray in the area of FREEDOM and the LACK

The Mind Kitchen
Please join http://www.themindkitchen.com/
Throw up a fist for black power and two fingers for peace
Give the word a piece of my mind as I stand up to speak
Study the past as I act for the future
Invest in today so we'll have something good for tomorrow
Borrow a few words from Malcolm
A little bravery from King
With the resolve of Gandhi
As I perfect my Immortal Technique
Wake up the world with the message that's calling me
Scream for what I want but go out and get what we need
Dismiss all this ignorant bliss and give the people what we miss
Deprogram the foolish funk and make the minds bump
Get out my cooking utensils and prepare some food for thought
Steer up some conversations
Crack open some brains then pour in a few facts
Now walk out the kitchen and take FREEDOM back

Shhhh
Shhhh
Shhhh
Keep it all in
Don't say nothing
Don't let it effect you until it touches you
Be another head turned away from the problems
Sit quietly as others scream in pain
Wash away the shame of not moving to action
With selfish complacent fear
Worry only about losing yours and forget the loss of others
Just say "It's better them than me"
And ignore that you soul is crying out
Forget that you live here with others
Forget that the needs of the many
Out weigh the desires of one
Just keep your eyes shut to every wrong
Close your heart off to feeling anothers pain
And sit there and keep suffering
That strange feeling of inner self-blame
Shhhh

I meet somebody
I looked up and saw this person
The face was amazing
The feelings I got from it was so familiar
But it came from a place I had long forgot
I smiled and they smiled back
When I laughed they laughed with me
Same as when I felt down their own emotions meet mine
We thought a like and changed our ways together
We moved through the world with our heads high
Our walks where in unison
Our words filled with our passions
I was happy to know this person
Glad to be in their presents
For the first time in such a long time
I was glad......to be with me
