A-mazed in you
I come from both sides
To understand you.
To look through
The negatives,
Just to see where
The positive was
Form through.
From the way
Your heart is laid,
I was in a maze.
Feeling amazing
As I travel through it.
Like a rat looking for cheese,
But I’m more like a beast
Looking for his beauty.
I couldn’t help but get
Engulf with the powerful beats
That surrounds me…
To read the story
Of your history
Help guild me

Sharing of a Dream
Drenched with the words of the King,
I too have a dream…
A DREAM
To revitalize a generations that has
Fallen in need of a crutch, because
We spent so much time leaning
Pillars that the leaders before us built
Unable to be the visionary that our time needs
Because we think, we’ll have triumphant and
Achieve our destiny by playing with team me…
Choosing to step on each other so
We can get ourselves to better thing.
Over
Using each other to build each other up
I have a dream too
To pave a new yellow brick road that will
Lead way...

Don’t shoot
Please don’t shoot me
As this stance we are in
Reflexes past history
When leaders like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Took on the burdens of race
Hoping that it would end one day
Please don’t shoot me
For standing up for what I believe
For not accepting it when
You kill one of my brothers
Just because you wear a badge
Doesn’t mean you are always in the right
That’s like my parents telling me
That a square peg goes through the round hole
But, because it’s my parents, I’m suppose to act
Like I don’t know how it goes
Please don’t shoot...

Lost of Sight
Why are you allowing yourself to bleed out?
Swimming further in the ocean like
The sharks can’t smell you bleed out.
Coming up with a theory that has you
Aimlessly splashing around
Trying to find a land
That won't be found
Expecting gratitude to be given
Because you made the one’s
Who cares for you must
Watch you drown
Your theory is a flawed, as
You expecting gratitude
From a group of people
Who wants to help you.
People who wants to
Be a guiding beacon of light
Who will brighten your way.
Not because they wan't to...

Change Needed
Thinking of master plan
There's nothing but
God and My woman
Inside these hands
Not trying to take over the world,
Even though my brain is.
Creating a better life
Than the one we lived the day before.
More happiness and more love
That we can explore
Contentment and peace of mind.
At times when I’m saying good morning
To moon, as it brighten my city sky
I get frustrated…
Having to leave my wife in our bed
To hold herself, instead
Of being in my arms embrace.
Have my asking questions like
How, when or where God...

Sucka Shit Alternate Version
How much more
Would you expect
For me to take
I done everything
I could think of
To make myself stay
You tired to belittle me
And spit garbage
In my face
But I won’t let
Your spoiled milk
Make me insane
I do everything
And anything
For my kids
You just can’t
Handle the
Fact that I’m
Manning up to
My side of the deal
I work three jobs
To keep this
Household a float
But all you want to
Do is Argue and try
To rock this boat
You have to understand
That I’m anchored ...

A Mother's Light
Words can’t explain the bond
Nor time is able to tell
The force you have move through me.
To be able to reach for the stars in the day
Because you showed me that night time
Isn’t the only time they shine bright.
To see the strength you carry
When at times all you want to do
Is fall on bending knees.
Encourages me to not let
The negative things weigh me.
Your love is precious and sacred
Yet virtuous and ideal.
The Role is defined
By the actions of every appeal.

Sucka Shit
Damn woman
You knocked
Up again…
What the hell
Did I waste
All that money on
And you have
The nerves
To keep IT
Fuck this shit
I’m not about
To deal with
Your dumb ass
Fuck man
I’m already taken
Care of some other
Dude nappy
Ass mistake
Who does nothing
But complain
You wouldn’t have
All you got now
If it wasn’t for me
Shit
You wouldn’t be
Anything without me
I don’t believe
I let you trap me
Now I have
This waste of a seed
To look at
This...

Answer This
Can you be honest with yourself when you read this poem
Can you breath
Can you move your arms
Can you move your legs
Can you see
Can you hear
Can you touch
Can you smile
Can you speak
Can you taste
Can you wave
Can you move your feet
Can you feel your heart beat
Can you use your mind
Can you share the troubles you've overcome
Can you share the troubles you’re in now
Can you love
Can you cry
Can you care
Can you listen
Can you fight for what you want
Can you lead by example
Can things...

The Journey
We all have been given a dealt hand to play with.
Hoping that the Ace would turn over
SO your royal flush would be completed
And you would have the Epic hand
Not realizing there are more people than
Cards to play with
Leading us at times to surrealism
Unable to wake up because the random dreams are
So beautiful
Evading the reality that
We have worked hard on and
Expecting everything be given to us
With a spoon
Sorry that not everybody truth
So at times we have to go through hell
To appreciate the heaven
We are trying to make...

Mis-Education
From birth my education started
Learning to breath, to how many times
I should take a blink a minute
Learning was so natural to me
As I grow up,
I learned that educational process
Wouldn’t always be the same
School system trying to recover
From the decaying support disease
Trying to figure out
How it’s expected for a
Person to gain wisdom
When the wise person
Is being taken away
Trying to figure out
How can we teach growth
When the resources that are needed
Is being taken away
Trying to figure out ...
