Don't Play With Me
Whatever you do
don't play with me
or make a fool out of me
unless you want
to see my claws come out
I can be real sweet
but if you want me
to stay that way
don't cross me
or betray me
it always makes
me mean.

If I Could Have Saved You
tears slowly roll down my cheeks
trying to make sense of the pain and anger
I felt learning how your precious life
was so viciously taken while citizens
stood by
watching…recording…begging
on your behalf
I couldn’t bear to watch
the entire video
I closed the tab
and all I could think was
how could this possibly
be real and I started to judge
them all
those who stood by
why didn’t they forcefully intervene
to meet an incomprehensible crime
with equally justifiable violence
I...

the lying papers
The lying newspapers
To vote in Britain is a strange affair
since it is class-based, every class only read
what is of their interest,
doing the best to denigrate the enemies party leaders
but since the owners of newspapers are usually
right-wing the conservative party often wins.
There is an exception the Guardian can at time
the sound left-wing, but then they get cold feet and join
the shrieking of the right.
The popular press also called the gutter press destroy
peoples reputation, say “Corburn” an excellent politician ...

Living the Dream
I am pulled from isolated slumber
Thrust into a realm of demand
Forced to deny myself of comfort
Seeking, falling, rising
ACHING
Endlessly marching
Progressing to no destination
By myself I fall into a river of excrement
Carried away drowning
The darkness closes in
I am doomed to repeat the cycle
I dream no more.
Thrust into a realm of demand
Forced to deny myself of comfort
Seeking, falling, rising
ACHING
Endlessly marching
Progressing to no destination
By myself I fall into a river of excrement
Carried away drowning
The darkness closes in
I am doomed to repeat the cycle
I dream no more.

HURT PEOPLE ALWAYS HURT PEOPLE
Can I just have a moment of your time as I slowly penetrate these unspoken words, into the depth of your subconsciousness reaching and touching the mere depth of your heart. As I silently and slowly dig and unlock your most deepest part of your spiritual growth of your soul. For let us unshackle and undulate, the true facet of mine and your thoughts of what we ever thought and think, for would you give me the opportunity to unlock the door to your mind exploring the true depth of your heart? For Why do people always hurt people who are willing, to walk down the road of life with them at any...

near-rape of a nine-year-old
Because the child does not have the power to withhold consent,
she does not have the power to grant it.”—Judith Lewis Herman
dark night
clandestine misdemeanors

passions void of redeemers
stage fright
fleet-footed interveners
hindsight
sleight-of-hand contraveners
they try to take your pride
where dreams and death collide
non-option suicide
leaves naught indemnified

Compliance & Nonviolence (Suffering In Silence)
They killed a man who preached nonviolence
And are still demanding that we suffer in silence
Met with threats of violence for taking a knee
So tell me why do you sing O' say can you see?
Can you not see the hypocrisy in any of this?
Historically, revolutionaries have used their fists
As a means to resist so we ALL can live free
From the tyrannical oppression of evil entities
Quoting Stokely, an enemy must have a conscience
In order for nonviolence to have a fighting chance
There's no romance between beauty & the beast...

No, you're not.
I'm sorry for what I did to you."
So quick and so not done with,
he says these things with no real empathy,
no weight behind those fucking words.
Loyalty is nothing but talking money,
and pain is something other than growth,
At least, to him.
"I love you, brother."
It doesn't feel like love,
because I feel abused.
To give more than you have is selfless,
but to take from those who have nothing is selfish,
And that man is the most selfish boy,
Who I have grown to hate,
To him it's a game,
And to me it's my innocence....

Fake Homie Diss Track
I had love for ya ya ya
but now you turned it all around
I've seen how your mood shifted
listened to too much gossip
shitty towards me
because your new lady doesn't like me
ain't she a bit old for you anyway?
hey, I'm not judging
just feel you're too busy
trying to get in granny panties
that you're starting to lose your senses
never said anything but praise
untill I've seen how you've been acting lately
talking foolishness about my ethics
jealousies a bitch l suppose
funny thing is if you would just say it to my face ...

Not Giving A f**k
So you are black or your white
You are Hispanic or you are Asian
You are an alien from the planet Thaaar@#gh
I couldn’t give a fuck!
You can be a Christian or a Muslim
You can be a Buddhist or a Hindu
A crazy from the West-borough Baptist Church
I don’t give a fuck!
You can be Male or Female, Gender Fluid
Transsexual, Homosexual, Heterosexual
You can be an anything-goes Try-sexual
I have no more fuck to give
You can be a Conservative or a Liberal
A Socialist, a communist, an Independent
A lunatic...

A POOL OF TEARS
If I ask you would you take the necessary time and effort to understand wholeheartedly, were my hurt and pain comes from within me as a woman. Who sometimes be finding myself as a woman stumbling through, the mist of the confusion that seems to surround my heart and soul. For even as the whispers within my ears softly massages, my ears whispering your name to me from an far off distance, as it becomes an distractions for me to even think clearly. Yet it doesn't stop my tears from falling from my eyes into a pool of hurt and pain, along with the process of the suffering as it slowly begins to...
