Gender Identity In Perilous Times
Who makes the decision as a person stand
Once life exits the birth canal are you now considered woman or a man
Pink or Blue
We extend our congratulations as we waited for this handsome bundle anew
However, what happens when one’s not sure after coming of age
The mentality of your gender, a person just cannot gage
Parents dealing with alter egos and the backlash of identity rage
Marbles and trains become dolls and dresses
Counselors out of pocket expenses to determine undetected sexes
But mama, I feel that way everyday
I should...

Broken Dreams
Mars, and Jupiter
Are
In mythological terms
Planets of war
Although
In reality
Tis Earth
On which we all dwell
Some of humanity
It's inhumanity
Can make it for many
Just like Hell
Yet we still live in hope
That Utopian dreams
Will cast a magic spell
False realities
Never cease
The mayhem
As those that hope
For better things
Fall into a quagmire
Of shattered dreams

TELL ME-(USE WORDS).
You gotta be joking,
What u saying,
Ain't no time for his-tor-ry.
Was on a Mission,
Instigating wars in every Cu-un-try!
Get down Boy,
Move out my way.
Can't bear 2 see u suffer this way.
They Tell Me,
Its time 2 deliver.
They Tell Me,
I gotta move up a gear.
Persuade me,
Its right now or never.
Don't u want 2 Die,fully Aware?

Sic 'Em
Women in the hood are being asked to mass produce
Brothers dying in the streets have gone up instead of being reduced
The need for more soldiers has shot through the roof
Just hold your ears to the streets if you're looking for more proof
There was already wars going on before the cop brought in extra troops
All with instructions, "if he's wearing a hoodie, no questions, just shoot"
The lines have been drawn, this is a war zone
Soldiers are being killed if any sign of a man is shown
"Boy you better get down, you better not try and...

Random Rambling - Diary entry
I don’t understand this world. It seems so strange to me. Everything is never as it should be. Wars, famine, economic collapse, diseases and corruption. Why? Why is it so difficult to just live and let live? Why is it so difficult to accept death when your time has come? You can’t live forever, and I don’t understand the people who’d like to. Why? You’ll only see everything wither away and die around you. Just do what you have to do in this life and die like a decent human being when your old, senile and useless. Or is that wrong for me to say? Did I hurt someone’s feelings? Was I to harsh? ...

One day I ate a porcelain plate.
I endeavoured 2 eat it all.
Within a matter of minutes.
The porcelain plate swallowed me whole.

Whatever privilege you have
You must use it-
That is the message
Make it matter
That you have a voice
You must use it-
That is the message
Make it matter

in perpetuity
“If thou art rich, thou art poor; for, like an ass, whose back with
ingots bows, thou bearest thy heavy riches but a journey, and
death unloads thee.”—William Shakespeare
to know the right and yet do wrong
differs the weak man from the strong.
cleaving the dark and slighting light
homages error over right.
loathing to love and loving hate
martyrs the stranger at your gate.
pursuits of plunder and of war
fashions of peace a deadly scar.
injustice rules where virtue begs;
rich men piss wine, poor men drink dregs.

A Bullet Doesn't Care*
A Bullet Doesn't Care
if we have straight or nappy hair
Or about the color of our skin
If we are fat vs thin
If we are dumb or a smartie
or who we vote for as a political party
Won or lost a beauty contest
or which religion we claim to be best
If we are Gay or Straight
or the last time we went on a date
It matters not to it if we changed our sex
or ramble on like Trump out of context
If we are Wealthy or Poor

*A House Divided
Battle lines are being drawn based on Them verses Us
now your vax status adds to the further distrust
Faith in our core human values is being lost
In the end what will be the final cost
We are forgetting we all members of the same team
and elevating our collective souls should be our dream
If we engage in Civil War II
what/who will be left when we are through
For regardless of how old or how tall
A House Divided against itself-will surely fall
now your vax status adds to the further distrust
Faith in our core human values is being lost
In the end what will be the final cost
We are forgetting we all members of the same team
and elevating our collective souls should be our dream
If we engage in Civil War II
what/who will be left when we are through
For regardless of how old or how tall

The world
What's happening to the world today, why are we so greedy?
While we sit and squander in our palaces not bothering about the needy,
They have no riches, they have no homes, they have nothing, they stand alone.
So while we are eating and stuffing our faces faces, people are starving in other places.
While we sit and squander in our palaces not bothering about the needy,
They have no riches, they have no homes, they have nothing, they stand alone.
So while we are eating and stuffing our faces faces, people are starving in other places.
