POEMS AND SHORT STORIES

As a woman im seen for my body,
But feared for my mind.
Im supposed to be sweet, elegant,
And very much refined.
Before I even open my mouth,
Im judged as a person defined.
I pause for a moment,
Sit down and rewind.
Thinking back to all the men
And where this all derived.
I think of all those women,
Who sat down and were deprived.
They never spoke up,
And did horrible things just to survive.
Never got a fighting chance,
Died before they were really ever alive.
But feared for my mind.
Im supposed to be sweet, elegant,
And very much refined.
Before I even open my mouth,
Im judged as a person defined.
I pause for a moment,
Sit down and rewind.
Thinking back to all the men
And where this all derived.
I think of all those women,
Who sat down and were deprived.
They never spoke up,
And did horrible things just to survive.
Never got a fighting chance,
Died before they were really ever alive.

Ready
Locked and loaded now scope this,
im approaching like a ghost in the darkness,
spitting flames comitting arson,
this is toxic to rappers with no logic,
envision a collision,
of verbal description,
battling minions,
rattling reptilians,
brilliance is measured in resilliance,
feel my zeal,
reveal the real,
only to find an overspill,
of corrupted thoughts ready to kill,
ready to fill,
your in a seal,
your in a coffin,
i guess the curtain falling,
for certain the murder rate aint dropping,
so...

Racism
Releasing my anger and agression,
more than the transgression,
of black people oppression,
coming with a left hook,
followed by a right swing,
hatred relieved, when a speech,
was made by the junior martin luther king,
lots of racism and desegregation,
in the U.S. nation,
but many slaves saw hope,
from the signing of the emancipation proclimation,
this uknown inaguration,
of MLK was never heard or unseen,
but made history,
that gave black people freedom,
since he spoke his famous speech,
"I Have A Dream"
