((OUR BRAINS HEAR EVERY SINGLE THOUGHT WE HAVE ABOUT OURSELVES-[and believes it] WITHOUT SELF LOVE-THERE CAN BE NO OTHER love.}

are you smiling
then you better be
nobody is an island
let alone the sea
with every grand of sand
on your teeth
every teary gland
that lands in a creek
I feel for you
They all love you
but none of them will ever know you

now look man
i need you to understand
they are waiting for you to fail
so do what you do and do it well
because as a black man in america
so many are ignorant and still scared of ya
but dont even let them cross your mind
be constructive with your time
dont get caught up in the hype
just because they only see the stereotype
just show them where they are wrong
with Loving actions deep and strong
lend help where you can
let just respect be your plan
Teach them what you have been told
within the depths of your Soul
judge not because you cant
and i know its hard at times not to rant
but find inner peace within yourself
because it adds strength to your health
listen up because i cant say this any clearer
straighten up or i will knock your ass up out of that mirror....

Along The Way

Along the way I'd ask myself
"Why try so hard when others win with ease?"
"Abandon! Abandon!" came the cry
The reckless reply of the voice I tried to please
"With whomsoever do you contest to play this game called life?
What do you see or think there to be at the journey's finish line?"
"I do not know but only fear an empty, cold embrace.
What angel, beast, or spirit here could calm this shadowed face?"
"All that you shirk and think to shun is uncertainty at best.
Let them do their worst to spoil your fun and put you to the test.
But know that all this goes and even morning suns will set.  
And though this be the truth of all, they never hold regrets."

"Strong Beautiful Black Woman"


You Are a strong beautiful black woman
And you Can do Anything you set your mind to do
Don't let them fools break you
They're just wanting
To see you fall
They're just waiting
To laugh at All
The mistakes you make
But don't let them have that satisfaction
Just stare them in the face
And laugh right back
As a matter of fact
Put them in their place
Which is behind you
A strong beautiful black woman like you
Can do what she wants to
What people think or say shouldn't bother you
Because this is how God made you
So just continue
Living and smiling
Because you are You
A strong black beautiful woman...

WONDERFUL ENTRIES SO FAR, THANK'S!!!!!!

[font=Verdana]Just outside the French windows of consciousness
I talked with my self, as companions often do,
in a voice languid as the maturing grass.
I'd decided I was a villain, and that my soul could not relax
beneath the burden of its mate: each imagined sin.
My self laughed tolerantly, adjusted his cushions,
and said: "your sins are everyone's sins.
You're hated as much as you're loved by mankind.
Don't despair: you're not special."
I smiled then, and fell asleep,
the grass maturing as I snored.

He's the golden boy
He's so gifted
God's golden toy
Damn he's so uplifted

A friend to all
An enemy to none
He riles at times
But quickly the anger's gone

He's the goodest you'll ever see
Please pardon my grammar and read
As I proceed to describe
No one else but me

He's handsome
He's the ransomed
He's the man that never quits
Cos always he wants more

thank's so much to the entrants so far-much talent here.

::I Want::


In Hell...I wanna two second cameo like Alfred Hitchcock

Scratch that!!!

I wanna pass by George Zimmerman unscathed while firing rounds from My Glock
I want 7O virgins without any cock block...want ‘em on an open-ended time clock
I want unceremoniously held ceremonies hosted by Chris Rock
I want blood red carpet, paparazzi and whole lot of fan chatter
I want the ooooo’s and the ahhh’s, although they and it won’t matter
I wanna set sail on My Own Yacht.
But first I wanna dry dock along side an Oil Baron’s yacht  
Then I wanna swing a joker from the Yard Arm
I wanna see what that’s about

I wanna “speculate” like St. Paul Greengrass' film "United 93"
I wanna bring to bear My Vision “artistically”
I wanna tax free ride that’s absolutely free
I wanna see Biggie’s face onna back of a “G”
I wanna see Tupac’s on the flip/side smiling up at me
Then I wanna burn ALL paper money. Burning the fake ass power it represents
I wanna Detox people’s worship of them dead presidents
I wanna hear something about Righteousness that won’t evade me
I wanna consistently avoid that Devil so he don’t faze me

I wanna drop The Drop that brings the heat but ain’t hot
I want Anger Management wherein I control the plot
One Hundred Thousand Bi-Polar~Polar Bears released nonstop
I wanna call it that Greenhouse Effect. I wanna get through it with NO sweat
I wanna one day end this poem before you, me, we all go crazy
From being stigmatized, unrealized…this as far as what we know to be hasty
I wanna end Lustful Desires for Man Made Objects that are only made to amaze me
I want My Necessities to become clearer and My Wants to fade hazy

I want..

The Most Merciful…to have Mercy
and with that…of what’s good have Him place me
My sins, have them not overtake me
Nor have them slaughter nor erase me

I want those environs of Al-Jennah to encase me.

I want only what i need…says me

PEACE ON EARTH

Awesome-peace it is, LOl

Ornate Ceilings


I hope
to be something , in this life
not just a nothing , with an ex wife  
to actually cut it
without blunted knifes ,
for my bread to be buttered
on even one side ,
my keys to be mine
oh , to see
when I'm blind .

I try for , my want to be
then strive some more , for the un-real
that's why , closed doors
can open , it seems
I dream from the floor
of ornate ceilings .

Bubbles do burst
yes , troubles can get worse ,
just clean up the mess
and cancel the hearse ,
as more of the less
is sure to gain worth ,
if I give it my best
someday I'll be heard .

As it is

You are a bit drunk tonight
do you think it helps you
to focus on what might
have been or could be
You are a bit drunk tonight
do you think you can hold on
to this man, the wanderer
who has his own lust
for something more
than just you?
You were always a fool
for love
Grace, get sober
and get the hell into
your lonely bed!

Thank's to all so far-impressive.
