Being Naked, Or Baring Not Just Your Soul
Nude, bare, could be anywhere
Like in a bath, or a shower
Or life modelling
As a flower
Or medical examinations
Or operations
Or being prepared
For cremation, or burial
And of course sex
Well not always certain to be nude for that
Depends on whether a night of passion, or pleasure
Or a quickee at leisure!
There's many reasons
To be naked, or nude
Not just for moments rude

Truths, And Other Variables There-in
I love you Donald Trump
In the same way
Like i like dogshit on my shoes
Or mosquitto bites on my anywhere
I love you like i love rice pudding
Which equally is likely to make me throw up
I love you for your hair
And the courage it must take to venture out with it
You must use a very good glue
So you are obviously brave
I'd like to tell you
How truly wonderful you are
But that would be a complete lie
But i guess you're use to lies
Well take care (don't!)
And have a nice day (have a shitty one)

Fairy Dust
Lost in thought
As i traverse, the universe
Exploring worm holes
Deep space and curious portals
To other worlds
I then venture through the deep dark mists
Of the ethereal
Encountering entities
O another nature
Full of magic, and mystery
These beings wove tapestries
Within rainbows
That were then hung
Onto groaning boughs
Off low hanging trees
More was revealed,
As the mists began to dissipate
I became further aware
Of the strange nature
As a golden light
Trespassed through the trees
As a...

It is What it Is
Election: 11/5/2024
It is What it Is,
The Election is now Through,
It Didn't Go our way and
It got us feeling All Blue, but
We won't let it Bring us down,
In fact,
this is what we'll do,
SHINE like the DIAMONDS that we are, and
Our DEAR LORD ALREADY KNEW.
So, please Don't feel SO DOWN and OUT,
We Lost the battle, but to us
IT WASN'T GIVEN,
But through CHRIST our SOLID ROCK
WE STAND AND THROUGH
HIM WE'LL KEEP ON LIVING!!!
B.R.

If only I knew.
If only I knew how the real world works
with its secret turning wheel within wheels,
then detect the operator's wicked smirk
To expose the thieves and strings they have jerked
the deaths they have caused with their killer deals,
If only I knew how the real world works...
Then I'd see clearly that wars have vast perks
for crooked hands-across-the water schemes,
and detect the string-puller's wicked smirk,
And shrugs, death of people a business quirk
as they persue their unholy money dreams
If only I...

My Fear
maybe this isn't very poetic
honestly I don't know what to say
I just know I have to say something
I'm not usually one to be afraid
but I do see things greater than me
something that does pull one my heart
is the suffering of others
I don't like when Trump speaks
he talks about people like trash
I've said so much about him
and you've heard about him
my fear is hearing it for another 4 years
but a greater fear
is watching freedom die
and we became forever desensitized
to hatred

I hear you
I hear you girl
I am your fall from the fifth floor
There is nothing to wait me on the ground
Because I do not wear a golden bracelet
On my forearm
I remember how we chuckled as children
On the terrace of our house
With nothing to separate us
I have only two questions in my head
Who invented the golden bracelet?
Why did you go that far?
I am your fall from the fifth floor
There is nothing to wait me on the ground
Because I do not wear a golden bracelet
On my forearm
I remember how we chuckled as children
On the terrace of our house
With nothing to separate us

Who invented the golden bracelet?
Why did you go that far?

Grandiose Fading Mascara
We all know the weevils who corrupt society
unchained dark adrenaline of a self-portrait
bleeding through the canvas peeling away
narcissistic flesh gaslighting low on self-esteem
making own paint from the blood of humanity
in their obscenity laying a Faberge egg cracked
to the bone of an overzealous plot self-absorbed
in grandiose and fading mascara
unchained dark adrenaline of a self-portrait
bleeding through the canvas peeling away
narcissistic flesh gaslighting low on self-esteem
making own paint from the blood of humanity
in their obscenity laying a Faberge egg cracked
to the bone of an overzealous plot self-absorbed
in grandiose and fading mascara

Silent Night, Holy Night (A Black Panther Snow Globe)
My love, my Black Panther, we have been walking our land way before time
Delivery our messages to hearts, with reasons and with rhymes
Giving kids smiles of joy each cheerful holiday time after time
Do you think the gown folk masses are really listening
When sleigh bells are glistening
The holidays are not just about spreading cheer this time of the year
My love, I am sure minds would think differently
When loved ones who were here last year absence are sadly felt in the need
Newborn babies being born to carry generations on ...

Never Mind
faster, faster...more and more
slipstreaming we're drawn
into a frenzy we abhor
from nirvana torn
hocus-pocus to let go
abracadabra too
all the magic words we know
including 'I love you'
bubble up to overflow -
time to drift away
to relax, be calm let go -
no one's here to stay
who we are we've become
from who we were before
now realizing all is one
we're opening a door
to the bliss that we all miss
entangled in our thought
knowing everything is this
moment which we've...
