Mark Kennedy Stone: (One Of) An Enemy
For years, undercover police
had secretly, covertly fleeced
and infiltrated citizens,
their fam’ilies, the denizens
a reason they would finally howl
a mighty hue and cry as: FOUL!
No justice offered, just excuse.
One’s race, an activist, a ruse,
or heaven help a woman’s truth
to be in fullness of one’s youth;
who let her feelings for a start
be tangled in affairs of heart.
The secret fellow makes believe
a good intention, yet deceives.
The lies to get her in her bed,
to coax to have his way instead. ...

f**k I suck at commenting
Kiddo
I'm sitting here sadly thinking
all those times spent missing
Your fourth birthday is fast rolling
Five soon, might as well be twenty one
pushes on the swing
Fatherless figure
who will teach you those secret questions
that only secretive agents of the stars know
Swim with the tadpoles little one, for soon they grow frog, your favourite I know
Kiss the right froggies Kiddo, you may just be lucky to find a prince
someone to love and learn you the things I cannot tell
For that is the heart of the matter
that is...

Politics and Politicians
It's a shame so many never had
their mouths scrubbed out with soap.
just make sure the liars get the lye...
Potty mouth gets extra strength
their, ''accounts'' need double reaming
Vanish ought to do the trick...
should leave their dentures gleaming
Punishment when meted,
had best match sin to sinner...
so when all is said and done
truth will be the winner
and then...
I think we give Trump to the women... Hmm?
their mouths scrubbed out with soap.

You're the only one that makes me cry
Fucking shit cunt of a day
Just smoked enough to calm down
nearly threw the fucking phone at the wall.
After the condescending cunt of a social worker tells me, the wife out me life won't let me have contact with my daughter.
Won't go into the conversation probably will throw the phone at the wall.
Also she wants me to get in touch with her son to get his number, so she can call him, fucking scuse me woman FUCK OFF.
So rewind to the start of the day
Rob me Polish brother from another suggests we go to the street kitchen, get some...
Just smoked enough to calm down
nearly threw the fucking phone at the wall.
After the condescending cunt of a social worker tells me, the wife out me life won't let me have contact with my daughter.
Won't go into the conversation probably will throw the phone at the wall.
Also she wants me to get in touch with her son to get his number, so she can call him, fucking scuse me woman FUCK OFF.
So rewind to the start of the day

Stop!
Stop!
Don't say those harsh words that come out of your mouth
If they are going to tear someone down come on keep it to yourself
Don't tear down a race or a generation
Because it's the future we are raising and it's not right to teach hate
Pratice what you preach but don't go preaching if you are bitching
Stop!
Don't hurt yourself just because of the words that they are saying
Stop believing the lies they are spreading because girl you are beautiful
Don't let them call you fat because honey your just built better
Don't call them...

"You"
I promised I wouldn’t leave you
But after all the shit you’ve put me through
I don’t know what I should do
I could stay with you
Try to save you
Like I always do
Or I could leave you
Try to work through
My PTSD caused by you
No matter which I choose
I’ll spend my days worrying about you
Spend my nights dreaming of you
Spend the rest of my life caught between
Being grateful that I knew you
And wishing I had never met you
But after all the shit you’ve put me through
I don’t know what I should do
I could stay with you
Try to save you
Like I always do
Or I could leave you
Try to work through
My PTSD caused by you
No matter which I choose
I’ll spend my days worrying about you
Spend my nights dreaming of you
Spend the rest of my life caught between
Being grateful that I knew you
And wishing I had never met you

"I Don't Know"
I don’t know if I should stay
You say you want me to
Yet you push me away
You say you don’t want to hurt me
Yet you fuck me up
You say that you love me
Yet your actions don’t show it
Maybe I should just walk away
You say you want me to
Yet you push me away
You say you don’t want to hurt me
Yet you fuck me up
You say that you love me
Yet your actions don’t show it
Maybe I should just walk away

HYPNOTIZE WITH FEAR
Just when you think that you are getting pass the things in your life that nearly broke your spirit and killed your soul things have a way of invading your life once again in a form of a storm, that just shows up to change your life as well as your world for as I sit here with these tears within the depth of my eyes as my silent tears falls down my face.
As the news I received shakes the very foundation of my being down to the depth of my core...

Beautiful Beings
Beautiful
beings;
Blinded from seeing.
Borrowed from home;
Brought here, then;
Bought here, then;
Broken down and left alone.
Bathing in the sun, day in and day out;
Being freed one day, no hope only doubt.
Black, strong, bonded, and usable;
Being forever beautiful.

natural disaster
you’re like a tornado
thrashing about the earth
just like a deadly torpedo
boring deep into the dirt
you’re like a tsunami
crashing in unanticipated
and you aren’t even sorry
for all the waves that you instigated
you’re also like a cyclone
and giving me misdirections
you like leaving my lights on
an intended misconception
then you’re like the rain
cause you’re really killing my day
and if friendships what you feign
then it’s a game I don’t want to play
then whipping just like a hurricane ...

Rainy Thoughts
This area 51 thing may be a joke
But I hope
We all know
That in numbers
Our power grows
Watch the show
They’ll slaughter although
Keeping those secrets is illegal
Every dollar sewn
Spent on the unknown
Is unconstitutional
So
Watch the show
One day their flow
Will be pointed to those
Who say no…
To their tyranny.

The Rising Star
(i)
Life
Absurd
Ruthless
Paradoxical
Mocking every breath
Inhaled and exhaled, in its blasphemy
Temperamental and unpredictable
Like shifting winds, rifting the clouds
Fraught with thunder and lightening
Marring mortals into monsters
Aimless, restless
Seeking shelter in the bosom of the earth
Birthing stories.
(ii)
There are stories
Of stories
Black and white with a hint of grey
Shadowing the hand written
Cast in stone
Rolling down rocky mountains
Becoming...
