life
firm you stand as an old oak tree
rooted in your beliefs
as wise as an eagle
who's decisions are as profound
as the wind
the same profoundity
on which are blown
your leaves of wisdom
i eagerly rake
progeny of a strange fruit
i the bloodclot of
stand in rank amongst these mighty oaks
in saluted respect
earnestly seeking your approval
your acceptance
your love
my father
your love
my father
i love

OTHER POEMS WRITTEN BY odonko-ba
StormThere is a storm that rages inside the conscious mind. Hurricanes that can't be tamed. Tornadoes spinning out of control. Tsunamis like Mountains seemingly reaching for the skies, and Dark Clouds unrendered, casting somber moods. Thank God for the Ink in my Pen.
Black Love Is Revolutionary!!!

Ramblings of a Chaotic MindOutwards, my heart pours to a deafening silence as cold as death itself. Yet to be manipulated by your titillating advances, tempted of your poison, is a tantalizing treat indeed. And as the wind blows logic to enlighten a sunless son whose light faded away eons ago, a bludgeoning of confusion portrayed as a result of an evil veil of secrecy and I, am going to the other side of the moon. Where martyrdom is welcomed by an emphatic few crooning of unrequited love, like, falling stars from above unabashedly riding fragments of supernovas across a darkened sky. |

I am not a beast I am not the monster You make me out to be Condemned ostracized and Castrated - a leper of My community Just to kill me with impunity Slaughter me and Call it democracy To silence me It's a ***ing fallacy Perverting normalcy Crazy all the bodies There is not enough dirt To cover your hypocrisy Everything you touch Ends in atrocities Your lies and deceit Cunning and chicanery Eclipse insanity Evokes a calamity which Inflicts humanity A sham on society Your democracy I've had enough Sickened and alone Barricaded in my home Today my voice Shall finally be heard I speak with the blunt force Trauma Of my Enemies Words

Black ButterflyOur children are dying Slaughtered upon amerikkkas streets Their blood soaks the concrete A mother cries a tearful song of death Another Afrikan child Has taken his last breath Written off as a statistic For the caucasian another victory An endless cycle of genocide But how can we stem the tide Made in amerikkka The afrikan youth On the brink of extinction Depraved in the red white and blue Fighting the odds to becoming a man Set back in life for taking a stand The Afrikan males life From beginning to end From the ghettoes to the state pen Than back again Black on black crime Ignorance is high Unknowing or unwittingly Were're killing for their side "WHITE MAN CAPITALIZING OFF OF US DOING TIME" Private prisons appearing as maggotts Devouring our souls A race trapped in an abyss of time But revolutionaries Revolutionize A vision to recognize Knowledge will open doors On a world where The Afrikan soars high with eagles Beyond the ... |

Her eyes what dreams are made of Her skin melanated Emanates perfection Fertile voluptuous She is the truth absolute None can compare Not even close Her carbon the darkness that Enlightens my world Her feminity God The source of life The gateway from which all Sentient beings emerge Fierce and unperturbed She is my backbone My strength My God And I Her weapon of defense |
