Poet Introduction
I got into poetry at a young age and did spoken word in my teenage years at an event in Chicago IL call "Da House". I currently write poetry from time to time.

Free but Chained
Free but Chained:
Freed but chained to the mercy of your perspectives. I roam with no chains but yet imprisoned and restricted and no this is not me just being defensive. You were selective in how you've treated me and what you'll do to me and how you see me. Ultimately you gave me what I believed was me being free. But what does it mean to be free. Am I free to be me, or am I free only to be what you want or need. Can I see life as an open canvas to explore. Or am I being held up by your expectations that turn into walls and locked doors. Now don't start crying and appear to be...

Dear Mirror
Dear Mirror,
Who am I/
A question that usually ends with another question, Why/
Why do I see me as a being of less worth even though those of worth are from the same earth/
Why do I seem feeble and weak/ While strength has been something I always strive for and seek/
Even at my peak I stood tall with my chest out and gave a salute/
For the red white and blue is what I knew and the diminish of self worth still continued/
Who am I, what am I, how am I, different questions that are like a personal reflection/ that is unknown/
I look for this missing...

No strings
You think you know me/ you think you've figured me out and found me weakness/ like sheep to the slaughter you lured me in/ home court advantage/ your now in business/ You proceed with confidence not knowing you just got on my hit list/ so now your downfall starts here because now you're finished!!
you just trapped the very thing that will seal your fate/ You bringing me to your turf was your biggest mistake/ for when I make my break and destroy your deceptive scheme/ all will bare witness and you'll be exposed/ to bad that now your very reflection cant remain hidden or unseen/
you...

My Shadow
A Light flashes and a mysterious image on the ground is projected from me/ some may call it my shadow/ but this that is called "shadow"/ is more than that to me/ Its a place between me and destiny/ that's currently now in a state of vacancy/ empty/a figment of my imagination and a (chuckles) mere shadow of my former self/ but this shadow has grown into something more/ that it became an inspiration of a feeling that I continously felt/ you see my shadow has always given me more than a depiction of me/ The shadow gave me comfort while I was awake and even when I was sleep/ i walked down...

My Soldier's Creed
I am a soldier/ I went through hell and back /I am soldier I told you/ I stay at the ready while others lay up and nap/ as people clap thier lips and hands and sap out oxygen that remains/ while others cleave on to false hope and lead others to do the same/ while others wear their titles like a badge of honor and embrace public fame/ I am soldier I told you and people like them around me will either repent or be brought to open shame/ I dont claim to be part of the majority but I will lead a nation from glory to glory/ I am sure you never heard of me/ but just like an explosion from a hidden...

In Christ I stand
In Christ I stand
By:
Joshua Jamal
I have struggled with mental anguish, troubling emotions and a past life that gave me mental, physical and spiritual pain/ but I then looked over and I saw my Lord Jesus bound in chains/
The things in my life that I went through were unbearable and there have been times where I wanted to just give up and die/ but then I looked over and saw my Lord Jesus get beaten and whipped time after time/
I felt paralyzed and stagnant in life and all I could do is think of the conclusive outcome of defeat/ but then i looked...

We Are
WE ARE"
By; Joshua Jamal
"We are the gunman in the grassy knoll"
"We are the Martyrs of war that history has fortold"
"We are the bearers of the flag and the protectors of the stars and stripes"
"We are those who stay in the thick of every battle and come out victorious in our fights"
"We are the men and women in green and those who proclaim, "This We'll Defend"
"We are the force the finishes the wars that begin"
"We are the first of our national defense and our national defenses elite"
"We are those who will give the last Hoorah and we...

Warfare
Warfare"
By:
Joshua Jamal
I'm sittin/ and pacin/ mentally racin/
Stuck in me emotional basement/I got my hands up/
Hit my fist on the pavement/typical caveman/talkin in the 3rd person/they shouldve heard us/
Surrounded with thoughts and also conclusions/Lookin for immediate alternative/ a desperate solution/ Like a complex sypher/ Here comes confusion/ reinstitution/all scripted innately/ for someones amusement/
Me being contested just married abandonment/ my shadow and reflection/ sense of detection/ words and state of mind just became my own worst...
