POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Just an average dude expressing my views.
Better Days
When your back's against the wall you gotta come out swinging
Like Ali did, you've got to come out floating and stinging
Believing that you're already the people's champ
All disbelievers should be sent off like postage stamps
Stay amped up and strapped up so you're prepared for war
For when you knock one out best believe they'll be more
Keep score of the vicious chores being fired in your direction
A deception is camouflaging your mind as being your greatest weapon
So detection by your enemies becomes as hard as a phallus during a wet dream ...

People view you differently when you've been in their shoes
Choose to make yourself relatable in all things that you do
Only a fool would choose to act like they're better than everybody
Whether you're a hotty or fugly we all descended from GOD's body
We all have a story to tell and many have experienced a living hell
Shell shocked with thoughts of no longer wanting to dwell
You really can't tell because some hide it well with a smile
While in the back of their mind and inside they're not doing well
It's a fairytale that we all can achieve...

Key To Greatness
Must we use our peace keepers to keep any semblance of peace
Does the outcome of love and war always lead to one being deceased
We must cease with all of the hate in order to truly make America great
If you debate this, the evil spirit that exist within you should be tossed into a lake
It's not all about wake & bake all of the damn time
We all need to consciously try to elevate our minds
In due time you'll find the true meaning behind T.H.U.G L.I.F.E
Pac was right about the hate you gave is why there's so much strife
Take his advice and...

Morning Dew
They were so in love & in sync that they scribed on the pages in ink
It was them against the world until they reached their final blink
On the brink of creating Pulitzer Prize worthy novels
Bond unbreakable with passion flowing like water out of nozzels
Unstoppable is how one could define the trajectory of their love
Doing a buck fifty swiftly as they soared through the clouds above
Their love was the type that you only heard about in fairytales
Knew each other so well that they could tell all of each other's intricate details
The way...

Suppressed Thoughts
Words spoken in anger are just suppressed thoughts
Ones that broke free from their penitentiary's
hearts
Like hands on a clock they're verbalizing what time it is
Something that they've been suppressing out of fear
Then in moments of courageousness or craziness they let it rip
Like ink from a ballpoint tip their true feelings begin to drip
Pay attention and stay hip to people's deceptive ways
For having a loving heart doesn't always pay and can bring you pain
So never ignore words just cause one says they didn't mean them
For those...

Step To The Plate
Through each and every challenge step up to the plate
Be the king or queen of your destiny and master of your fate
Don't partake of the cake Anna Mae if you don't like the taste
Stand up to the masters of disaster and smear it in their face
We all make mistakes but refrain from letting them crumble you
Be vigilant and confident but maintain your humility too
Don't be fooled or used by fake people within your crew
Those that'll take your kindness for weakness if you allow them to
Tell them, "no boo boo, you've got me confused with someone...

Freaky Treat
She's thick and delicious looking very nutritious
I want to unwrap her like a present on Christmas
Lord Jesus, she's so fine and carries herself divine
It's just a matter of time before I make her mines
I get chills down my spine when she enters my thoughts
There's no way in the hell that she could possibly be a THOT
She's got me saying good GOD almighty when I see her sexy body
I'd have to carry a shotty whenever she walked beside me
I'd willingly be her trick if she'd be my freaky treat
I'd treat her like a Queen instead of a piece...

Saved
Ask me if I'm saved and I'll say I am everyday
Everyday I save myself from becoming prey
There are vultures circling above us as we pray
Attacking as we're distracted by what preachers say
I keep a 45 in my ride trying stay alive
Cause 45's goons want to see me die
Racism's rise is causing my people strife
Yet the sum of four fives is twenty to life
It's time for us to put religion aside and unite
Standing side by side in a mighty unified fight
An eye for an eye is what the "good book" says, right?
Well then it's time for the...

Anchor Of Mistakes
Had to wash my hands to remove the stains
Had to cut some ties to alleviate some pains
The disdain flowing in my veins is at an all time high
I decry that I'll finish last just from being a nice guy
Determined to win by ridding myself of detriment
That's called logical & philosophical common sense
Refusing to repent for commiting bond homicides
Because real eyes recognize all of the fallacious lies
I now realize many will wear disguises to get inside
Wanting free rides until you toss their asses outside
Forcing them to...

The Mix
Take a bowl of nouns, adjectives and creativity
Mix in a pinch of versatility with some humility
Bake it in the oven at four hundred & fifty degrees
Observe its transparency as it morphs into poetry
Rising like a loaf of dough putting on a nice show
Vulnerably exposing things many didn't even know
What doesn't kill us makes us stronger as we grow
Driving in fast lanes but it's more sane to go slow
Using our noses to smell the aroma of red roses
As we journey through life bearing heavy crosses
Trying to be positive role...

Yellow Canary
Ask me if I care and I'll tell no lie
Been losing my fucks since 1995
Wiped all of the tears from my tired eyes
Then told my horse let's continue to ride
I reside inside a Soldier with a King's spirit
Obstacles in my path but I'll soon clear it
Becoming a hermit cause this world's going to shit
And its bullshit has made me into one hell of a poet
I know this but I'm saying it with the upmost humility
Please don't misunderstand me; there's not a cocky bone in me
I envy no man and I'm just trying to be all that I can be
It's...

What Is It?
It has no respect for people who're like me
It has very little to no semblance of empathy
It tells us that we're wrong for taking a knee
It has a selective memory of its own history
It proclaims to be home of the brave, land of the free
It proclaims that we are all of one team but I fail to see
It says The Star Spangled Banner is what we should sing
It says that we should overlook the words of stanza three
It says taking a knee is disrespecting those who died for thee
It conveniently forgets that's an American right constitutionally ...
