A Higher Degres Of Self-esteem
"" I hate myself ", hold on ! do not ever think that i abhor the one who is Me..
A self respecting person am I with an upper case, proudly stating,
but when it comes for others' sake they pass before any other consideration,
'' me included ''..even over my living body.before i die.."".
Altruism is my creed, my way to gain respect and honour, as they may ever say:
'' my server is my boss '' you do me a favour, so you are my boss,
i give you a service, so i am better than you, i am your boss
so to...

Resistance
I’ve always had a rebellious streak. There have been times in my life when she was dampened, almost snuffed out, but thankfully, she’s persevered, like me. People have tried to tame her, I’ve tried to hide her, ignore her, at times I’ve been ashamed of her, and afraid of her. Stubborn thing that she is, there have been times when she liked to take control, and thank the universe for that. I’m quite sure she’s what helped saved my life. Many times. Now I embrace her, use her to my advantage. I’m learning when it’s appropriate to wield her power and when to give her a rest. And for those who...

Dare Not Raise My Sight And Ask How And Why
It is my time one other lesson to learn
And see through pain truths that me burn
In life nothing for granted is to gain
To wage wars against kismet is vain
Or think to a life through me I could belong
And own the right to show right from wrong
One other lesson despite what I am of age
To reconsider what I feel and think is sage
So humble to God that I dare not lament and whine
I just have to bow and ask not to be a soul of no spine
Rather able to endure what makes a backbone bend
Not a human of fake strength trying to...

Time Wasted
I dodged a bullet
Even though it hurts
I know it’s gon’ get worse
Slipped so low
You got to know your worth
No matter where you go
Feel so lonely and cold
I had to open up my heart, just for it to grow
Lost my uncle when I was eight
I ain’t been the same since
Heart so cold, I don’t know where to begin
I had to look within, never losing my passion again
Pain struck deep, made me the person I am
Said we’re better off as friends
But I can’t do that again
I respect you
I don’t hate you
But my heart has to...

Snowflake Heaven
His mama probably told him not to ever fuck a white girl
But that did not stop him, he still let them in his world,
“Throughout his life he became addicted to the black man’s kryptonite
Giving them that BBC deep into the heat of the night,
“When he became more famous his coon ass said that he wasn’t black
The motherfucka needed to look at his skin to realize that was a false fact,
“Like his NFL career he should run that shit back
But one thing for sure hate from his murder trial did not cut no slack,
...

Me First
So I say, me first
Not rehearsed or rebuttalled,
Somebody say “me first”
I say Me First, not in spite, just divine insight…
Because we black 365 live!
In 2024 366 because we true to this!
Somebody say “me first”
Not rehearsed or rebuttalled, me first
Not in spite, just divine insight
I say Me First…
Because among us are allies,
Who can relate to betrayal and lies,
I say Me First though,
Because we all have a common enemy in this war for your spirit,
Your inheritance…
Because the charge is for all those, ...

Forever is Tomorrow
My life has changed so quickly
in such a Little time
trapped inside ideas
and a life
that wasn't mine.
As I sit to write this poem
a window breeze
creeps in
only then
do I feel
the cold from deep within..
This blanket
will not warm me
for the chill
is in my heart
It started on
that very day
When life
just fell apart..
Forever is tomorrow
but we're stuck
inside today
will we ever
get the...

sudden illness and a nurse
Sudden illness and a nurse
it is Saturday, the air has a whiff of spring
and I was too tired to go to the bakery
to get my, one a week Danish Pastry
It was a week when my wife ended up in
hospital, I knew what was wrong with her
but I was overruled by the health doctor
In the evening, as I was having a glass of wine
and a forbidden cigarette on the balcony
prepared for a calm evening, a knock on
the door of the unwanted.
A couple related to my wife came to visit
her at the hospital (I think my wife rang)

Fade To Umber
I
Calculus in detritus;
sediment under waning tide,
cavernous and void of light --
upward eyes these still ride.
I am sunk within your deep
rivulets of sentiment steeped;
swirling around a constant murmur,
fomenting in this rudiment.
Ever furthur into clay
sublimate of irony loam;
every fibre pulls me close
untoward your centre comb.
II
Photos dry around the edges,
memories of earliest home;
caught within the many layers
fading with its Kodachrome.
Now gone I wither furthur; ...

The Less I care..
I am fine, as long as i breathe, as long as i eat and meet good friends.
i am fine with the least i have, the little i care, the more i dare seek beneath
the mortal skin, and thus i do not have to rewind the horrors i might have recorded during daylight
In the night i am ever quite as the sleep comes in time, when the body gets tired,
so the mind as well, then sleep and cast the care inside a dark brain until dawn dawns again when i wake up at muezzin prayers calls, in such soft voice piercing the glooms, clearing any fateful doom i might have undergone... ...

Only Words
Clean up your heart , then come down to clean the dirty streets.
You will never give what you don't have, so do not preach the good word,
people would never believe you, "silence is a mute adviser.."
Your garden is stark torrid, you only grow cactus and thorns,
So do not expect to see flowers blooming after what you sowed.
From Nature, stem every emotion, every thought and every creation,
The loss of any one of them, will make you emotionally unbalanced,
a shallow thinker, and a mediocre...
