Teach Me
Teach me to see
And I’ll show you the way.
Teach me to speak
And my voice will be heard.
Teach me to love
And I’ll rise against hate.
Teach me to lead
And I’ll teach others the same.
And I’ll show you the way.
Teach me to speak
And my voice will be heard.
Teach me to love
And I’ll rise against hate.
Teach me to lead
And I’ll teach others the same.

Teenage angst
Teenage angst
Is on a high
We rule the world
Through our eyes
Everyone else
Is second best
Think I'm kidding
Put our apathy
To the test
We're always
Being told how to think
You might think we agree
But you didn't see us wink
Give us a voice
And listen up
We're not drinking
From your Kool-aid cup
Your antiquated thoughts
Have grown stale
They should be
Locked away without bail
There's a new kid
Running this town
Hand over your lunch money
Or...
Is on a high
We rule the world
Through our eyes
Everyone else
Is second best
Think I'm kidding
Put our apathy
To the test
We're always
Being told how to think
You might think we agree
But you didn't see us wink
Give us a voice
And listen up
We're not drinking
From your Kool-aid cup
Your antiquated thoughts
Have grown stale
They should be
Locked away without bail
There's a new kid
Running this town
Hand over your lunch money
Or...

Dependency
It seems to me that our minds lie
in the trap of darkness which we despise
We nurture madness yet fear its ends
and dream of life to find forgiveness for our sins
Driven by the mighty engine of fear
we destroy through consumption all we hold dear
Minds filled with mad offerings
dreams of death the only thing proffering
A promise of new premise
the supernatural release of our souls great blemish
in the trap of darkness which we despise
We nurture madness yet fear its ends
and dream of life to find forgiveness for our sins
Driven by the mighty engine of fear
we destroy through consumption all we hold dear
Minds filled with mad offerings
dreams of death the only thing proffering
A promise of new premise
the supernatural release of our souls great blemish

Three short poems and some slime
1. A letter to racism
Racism your a dinosaur
A savage beast
Preys on the weak
Or gangs up on the strong
I wish you were extinct
But you linger on.
2. The Brain
The world has many different shades of Skin
There's only one brain
The world has many languages
The brain can learn them all
3. Friendly Street
Take a walk down friendly street
You never know who you'll meet
People of different colours shapes and sizes
Our beautiful world
Is full of surprises.
and then mind...
Racism your a dinosaur
A savage beast
Preys on the weak
Or gangs up on the strong
I wish you were extinct
But you linger on.
2. The Brain
The world has many different shades of Skin
There's only one brain
The world has many languages
The brain can learn them all
3. Friendly Street
Take a walk down friendly street
You never know who you'll meet
People of different colours shapes and sizes
Our beautiful world
Is full of surprises.
and then mind...

Time lapse
This isnt a test?a trial run to aid my decision.
A demo of experiences and random coincidences .
That may or may not become

Can’t be no used to be no more
Can’t be no used to be no more
We can’t go back there anymore
What do you think we’re fighting for
Can’t be no used to be no more
The virus kicked us in the ass
Hit everyone in every class
That’s what we thought but now it’s plain
That we cannot go back again
To put our lives in rich folk’s hands
(Which always has been in their plans
rich folks have always been adroit
with everyone that they exploit)
Think you’re essential? it’s a scam
You know rich folks don’t give a damn
On your back rich folks just get richer ...
We can’t go back there anymore
What do you think we’re fighting for
Can’t be no used to be no more
The virus kicked us in the ass
Hit everyone in every class
That’s what we thought but now it’s plain
That we cannot go back again
To put our lives in rich folk’s hands
(Which always has been in their plans
rich folks have always been adroit
with everyone that they exploit)
Think you’re essential? it’s a scam
You know rich folks don’t give a damn
On your back rich folks just get richer ...

Wandering
Wandering I go forth into that great unknown, where tapestries of interwoven colours seek to both startle and amaze, giving breath to new horizons, dark crevices and treacherous slopes. Wandering, I take a step. Is it precarious? meaningless? You can never quite tell but it distorts those colours, fashioning them into the perfect vision, a killer of words, a real show-stopper. I wander and I think, I think and I learn and as I learn I grow.
Another shade for that marble arch.
Another shade for that marble arch.

elsewhere
My mind finds itself elsewhere today
I find it difficult to live this way
In this time and age
where people get by on minimum wage
feeling misunderstood in all totality
Hating everyday reality
It is as if the world is committed to keeping our lips sealed
As a lady that I must yield
They want nothing to do with my perspective
for i am a woman and a addict
The justice system lacking what is in it's own name
A society that is unwelcoming to any kind of change
They seem to scream fuck the minorities
Making profit seems to be this...
I find it difficult to live this way

Mind Shackles
These words from my voice
Are the powerful being inside me
the body I encompass Is nothing compared to me
The color of my skin shouldn't matter
I will be who I want to be
I’m afraid I can’t be who I want to be
because people have a certain image of me!
make me be who they want me to be!
South Bronx boy
let’s throw dirt on his name
I came from the jungle
but I was born with a brain!
You come from the Bronx
You know what I’m sayin’
Life is a game
Since I realized this
I haven’t seen it the same…
Life...
Are the powerful being inside me
the body I encompass Is nothing compared to me
The color of my skin shouldn't matter
I will be who I want to be
I’m afraid I can’t be who I want to be
because people have a certain image of me!
make me be who they want me to be!
South Bronx boy
let’s throw dirt on his name
I came from the jungle
but I was born with a brain!
You come from the Bronx
You know what I’m sayin’
Life is a game
Since I realized this
I haven’t seen it the same…

A Woman's Reality
A Woman's Reality.
Indoctrination is Destroying our nation.
The challenge we’re facing
Is Killing the female population...
Because of men who claim they're Man
Call that "huMen" nature
Or monstrosity if you may,
It’s no human nature,
because such atrocities
Have tarnished our societies.
Gender Inequality's Just vacuous macho analogy
It has no advantages
But disadvantages Women
To protect male vanity, while proving their lack of sanity.
O! Nurturing hand
How I fear your threatening nature, ...
Indoctrination is Destroying our nation.
