The Silent Treatment (06042025)

       Treat 

     Yourself 

          To 

      Silence 

My Sister Can't Fight (06042025)

one time I fought a windmill

and the thought of me fighting

a windmill tickled me so

much I lost the fight against

the windmill I couldn't stop 

laughing she was all over 

the place I had no choice 

but to  moved out the way 

Morning's Verse Of Life (06032025)

time holds its breath before I draw my own
 wrapped in quilts of generational filth

the shadow of secrets whispers to me 
awake by the suns first touch
 steam rises from the kettle

sipping tea in the ghetto in the kitchen 
 window I gather thoughts
while birds rehearse their daily verse 
 I'm here to hear the first song 

taking note of music ringing in my 
 ears my eyes wander 
through the cracks in space 
 between asleep and awake

in the hour of beginnings
 vaporizes the weight 
of what occurred on the pages
 yesterday the canvas of today 

awaits the brush dipped in paint  to 
colorize  the blanks between the 
leaning tree's speaking hope into 
being focussing in on the words 

written on lea...

When We Face The Truth

did we do enough 
should we do more
do we care enough
should we care more
did we see enough
do we want to see
more are we giving
all we can give 
or are we giving
just enough what
can we do if it's
out of our hands
should we refuse
to have anything
more to do with it
do we dissociate
from the situation
to display a lack
of responsibility
should we take 
responsibility
for decisions 
we did't make
when most decisions
we didn't make
shape the aspects
of our lives
transmitting
trauma across
generations
passed down to
our descendants
manifesting a 
disease called 
mental illness
in the upbringing
of the offspring
we are the blame but
are we at fault

Trust (06032025)

trust why do we trust
who do we trust
why do we trust who 
we trust we want to 
feel safe and secure
around those we have
strong emotional
connections to
and those who 
we have shared
experiences with 
trust gives us a 
sense of belonging 
we generally
care for those we
trust and those
we trust generally
care for us 
we should be 
comfortable around
those we trust
but are those we
trust trustworthy
do you test the trust
do you believe the
trust is mutual
do you know your
friends as well as
you think you do
do you know your folk
your family your
people as well as
you think you do
is it reciprocal
trust can keep you
safe trust can 
also land you in
danger life and 
death ...

The Big Boom (06022025)

snitching and telling is cool now

except for the ones getting told on

I have a sister who used to tell

everything she see most of time

she told on me I had plans to kill her

in her sleep but if she didn't die
 
she would tell on me so I let her live

if only she knew what I had plans to do

I don't  do bad stuff no more I don't

want to get told on because I'm too

old school to think snitching is cool

Silver Locket (06022025)

I cherish this beautiful time

like no other time I ever knew 

before we met I used to say 

this is it this time but it wasn't it

it wasn't what I meant for it to be

but I still believed there would

come a time for me to cherish 

Untitled (06022025)

I have no qualms saying

I'm sick of this president 

I don't care if it's your president

I'm sick of your president

I don't care who hears this

I don't care who sees this

I'm sick of seeing this president

I'm sick of hearing this president

I'm sick of this "GOT DAMN" president 

Short Term (06022025)

I waited for stars to come out tonight

   the sky was too white to see

  why is that why is the sky white

   there's no one to ask why is the 

   sky white tonight I'm like damn 

    really am I really obsessing 

    over this weird a** weather 

Running Out Of Pebbles (06012025)

never cried a river unless 

it was on paper I wrote my 

soul out to you in a letter

to myself told myself to tell you

how I felt five pages later 

I felt what's the use in sending

you a ripple effect of tears
