Bricks
Earnestness builds in the walls
of life
It crumbles without solid foundations
Can you spare your life a brick

Collision
Is the disparity parallel
In being the deer
Or the headlight
When both result in a head on collision

Or the headlight
When both result in a head on collision

Listen Hear
Does the beating drums of self-preservation truly echo
Lessening the cogency of the mouth to acknowledge our inexactitudes
If so
Then why do we hear them the loudest
And cannot decipher the subtleties of truth
“I’M JUST SAYING”
Lessening the cogency of the mouth to acknowledge our inexactitudes
If so

And cannot decipher the subtleties of truth

Trial And Error
Vows are meant to bring closer, “I do.”
Divorce a new beginning, “We’re done.”
Alimony, an alternative certificate with financial closure of, “I once did.”

Vanity Fair
A pretty face
Can only get you so far
To the bedroom
Or to the mirror
Can only get you so far
To the bedroom
Or to the mirror

Baggage
In line at baggage claim
Becomes a place to bide
For luggage without the desideratum
To give us empyrean incentives

I have no mask to suppress my mistrust
World Health Organization
My coat of honor is darkish tincture
Which line do I impose
Right to Hell
Left I die

Bamboozled
In the snare of political gains
Lucifer wears Prada
Concealed hands
Carrying lipsticks and pitchforks
Pandemonium silenced in shackles
Unaware minds to closed eyes refuses to see
Sipping vials of rosary poison
From the serpent’s hand
The following begotten masses
Deceived

The Emancipation Proclamation of Juneteenth
A day where embedded scars
Are remembered in commemoration
By uniting unchained hands
To explore the political struggles
Of disparity in the court systems here today

I Pledge Of Allegiance
The Red Man
The White Man
The Black Man
Blue?
Someone needs to reface the America flag to represent darken hands of citizens who systemically places hands over chests pledging of allegiance to a piece of cloth hanging by a rope to a pole swaying in the wind

Cotton
Fastened minds wishes for reparations
Blood, sweat, and tears
Sweltering
Knee-high hands at mama’s apron strings
Cultivating enriched soil
Plantation sunrise pickings
Agricultural migration
Governmental apertures speaks of forgotten sins
Non-atoned
Erected burning crosses is where blood entrenched
In the validity of the night
White sheets hung
In the light of day
Cotton is the fabric of our lives
Blood, sweat, and tears
Sweltering
Knee-high hands at mama’s apron strings
Cultivating enriched soil
Plantation sunrise pickings
Agricultural migration
Governmental apertures speaks of forgotten sins
Non-atoned
Erected burning crosses is where blood entrenched
In the validity of the night
White sheets hung
In the light of day
Cotton is the fabric of our lives
