POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
recently rediscovered my love for poetry and short stories..I am overloaded with emotions and words that are ready to burst out in my poems and stories..
I am Trayvon Martin and the American Judicial System failed me
Zimmerman said it was God's will that Trayvon died that night I guess it was God's will because Zimmerman was found not guilty. I really don't know how people can say God is loving and just.
Sabrina and Tracey my heart goes out to you, you were robbed of someone so special and unique, he will never be replaced.
This shit hurts
Thank God I'm an Atheist
I am Trayvon Martin and the American Judicial System failed me
from the day I was born with my brown skin
there was a bull eye branded on my back
I was born in a country...

I am Trayvon Martin and I was murdered
I left my dads fiancee house because I wanted some sweets
I went to the nearby 7-eleven to get skittles and ice tea
on my way back while on the phone with my girlfriend
I notice this strange looking guy in a car following me
I began to walk faster, he also speeds up, so I ran
I could not get away, he's chasing me, tired and out of breath I stopped
he gets out his vehicle and approaches me
Why you following me? I asked,
he replies "what are you doing in my neighborhood, and why you wearing that hoody.
You don't belong here."
He draws...

You were not meant to be broken
You were forged like Excalibur, unbreakable
the hardship in which you endure is only for a moment
you are filled with strength like flowing water
carving your way through a slab of granite
your will is the strongest force in nature
there is no defeat only the sweet taste of victory
realize your potential, grab it and seize each moment
face your obstacles, your adversaries, impose your will
be alert and endure, composure will not let you backslide
be profound, search your inner self, for there is none like you
none has come before you and none will...

Weeping Willow
Hey Joe, I gotta leave, I gotta go
I can't take the massa's whip no mo
gotta find a place to rest my weary head
for if I stay massa's gon kill me dead
I use to be a handsome man
the massa's wife talked about me whenever she can
then the whip started flying and the blood started flowing
hung on a tree branch in the scorching hot sun
my back carved like meat in a butchers store front
I can't take no mo Joe, I gotta leave, I gotta go
find me a place to hide my back and my pride...

Tormented
My mind is like a jig saw puzzle discombobulated and incoherent
filled with pain and agony, thoughts exploding like Dante's Peak
I hear cries of despair, screams of hurt and pain
it seems that this life is not for the sound mind but for the creative insane
the throbbing, pounding, pulsating expanse of my temple
beating like a native war drum
my fist clenched, my teeth grinding, realizing this is true grit
life is harsh and people can be harsher
reminding me forevermore of my failures but never my triumphs ...

We bout to fight
this poem is just a satire, I do not condone any form of violence, let me know if it made you chuckle, laugh out loud or smirk.
She jumped out of bed in the dark
fumbling around knocking her head
baby where are you going
to use the bathroom she says
the door shuts, the sound of a splash
I dilly dallied to the door real fast
MOTHERFUCKER she screams
shit! I forget to put the seat down on the latrine
her butt cheeks deep in toilet water
she looks mad as heck pouting her lip ...

Courage
It takes great courage to stand up against ignorance, intolerance, hatefulness, racism, bigotry, inequality, and homophobia.
It takes courage to intervene when innocent children are beaten, starved, molested, raped and tortured.
when women are abused, murdered for being outspoken and treated as second class citizens, not one word uttered.
It takes courage to be a friend to the unfriendly, the outcast, the diseased, the criminalized.
Destructive manipulative groups using fear, coercion, subliminal messaging, brain washing and mind control to make...
