turn it off . . .
bombings here . . .
there . . .
every fucking where . . .
men in blue . . .
harass, tase, shoot . . .
fearing the unknown . . .
so eliminate . . .
one wrong done . . .
don’t make another right . . .
blood, blood of blue . . .
living lives . . .
are lives that die . . .
black lives . . .
all lives . . .
by any means . . .
peaceful discord . . .
how many decades . . .
how many centuries . . .
what year is this . . .
hate me, love me . . .
the color of my skin . . .
black or white . . .
blindly I see hate . . .
I search for peace . . .
I am not a traitor . . .
I am not a warrior . . .
I’m a living soul . . .
a vehicle of love . . .
in this monstrosity . . .
the whole world is here . . .
it seems . . .
in this drug induce nightmare . . .
the alarm clock is pulsating . . .
wake up can’t you hear . . .
the lights are strobe-ing . . .
can’t you see them . . .
I’m woozy . . .
my tummy’s queasy . . .
does anyone care? . . .
who cares? . . .
doesn’t living matter? . . .

The power of Poetry
Thanks for the re-blog.
Bam!
Thanks. I’mean tired of seeing the same craziness day and night after day and night.
The craziness coalesced into a powerful demand for reason.
Thanks for the re-blog.
black they said
you lack
but the whites
brought them
your antecedants
here to be slaves
and maybe even saved
but shit
we did not know
that we smell like wet chickens to you
and yet
you are not alone
you have
me
my prayers
my jaded cares
and words and letters
to caress
and never possess you!
“Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.”
As he gave his life for everlasting life for his executioners. While Christians preach love and righteousness and want to wash in the blood of Jesus and point their nose in the air and step off the souls who are lost, hurt and alone.
Amen!
