Poet Introduction
I don't consider myself as an "poet" per se. I just write what's on my mind, and it just turns out that way.

The Dilemma
This little artist went to the market
And the other one chose to stay home
This ones pocket stayed on swoll
and this one can't pay their student loans
So now they both on some "I'm better than the rest, I'll empty 6 clips through your chest
and get your girl buck nekkid so I can dick her down while wearing my bullet proof vest" type mess.
Or some, Hoes mad because they low class. I'll make a sex tape with your man, sue you and take your cash type jazz.
All for the fame
Rappers sell they soul for a dollar, but we holler when a female do

Phillis Wheatley
Oh, you speak so well.
If only you knew what it cost me.
I hopefully think you're just trying to be polite
Meanwhile, other folks tell me, Ay...you know you Black, right?
Later, I'm told I'm not like one of 'those'
After being spoken to long enough, you're compelled to tell me a racist joke
Follow it up with a friendly poke
I suppose you expect me to agree?
Meanwhile you're drumming up other things to mention explaining what else you think is wrong with me
See, the devil is in the details
If I 'just wear my hair straight like "normal," I'm...

Neo (dog haiku)
He can dance and speak
Sometimes he likes to play dead
But he still eats poop. :P

Headbanger
I guess she wanted to fight,
The first encounter started off with a
"Hi"My name is Revue, born and raised in the Lou
What's your name?And from whereabouts in the US are you?
She stared me up and down before she said, :I'm Jade from Phoenix
I rep the land of the Grand Canyon and where the "Air is on ya, I mean it"
Alright, pleased to meet you. (I'm being cordial)
By the way, I like your shoes.
She said you can't afford them
(Um Okay?) I left confused.
See you later, I'm sensing trouble abrew.
By then I was...

Sharecroppers
One work for a company, one work on the block
One handling paperwork, one slangin' that rock
Both got families, both punchin' that clock
Both makin' that paper, both watchin' the cops
One poppin' that glock, one gamblin' with stocks
One got boxed in, the other got locked
Both got homes, both got jobs
Both on borrowed time, both reading these lines
One tellin' them lies, one got corporate ties
One focus on risin' the other focus on hidin'
Both wine and dine, both committed crimes
Both livin' they lives, both love thier husbands and wives
One run...

So you wanna know what's on my mind?
I must warn you.
These wide lines hide hard times behind leather designs.
Some might find they invoke hope from the rhymes I spoke.
Others see trials and tribulations that might burn their throat.
Keep in mind, writing is how I cope.
Otherwise the tide gets high enough to make me choke.
I can't swim,so I row my broken boat to stay afloat.
The fight inside me got me tough enough to write this note.
So if you continue to let me keep your ear, sit back relax and grab your favorite beer.
Let me take you where...
