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...

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? ...

where life least hangs
i see an earthquake crush the haitian land
such misery i can never understand
for i am in a place safe on a rock
dreading no portent shake or aftershock
i see dead soldiers in afghanistan
silenced by isis whim and taliban
my streets of home are filled with idle men
no trace of proselyte or saracen

Blessed be the Fruit
(Parallels of Fictional Tales and Real-World Spells)
There are these men who claim to have more
knowledge over women’s bodies. They issue laws
to have more control over them under the guise of
morality or God and all that that is pure, and so a
plan is formed, but it’s more of an ominous map
that seems to head toward this fictional dystopia
*
Quoting scriptures, they look to these ancient laws,
to a time when women were stoned to death if
they were caught in the act of fornication or some

Straight Talk Live (Unsportmanship)
How would one ever know their passion of achievement if not willing to take the risk for the greater good. The laws of gravity are meant for the earth, to uplift the mind, soften the heart, and to spiritually enlighten the spirit of the soul.
We all get up each morning, hoping, praying for one more chance of survival in this realm we call life, however, we refuse to move or adjust to make our circumstances much better, more productive to enjoy the fruit of our labor.
This country is at a dire crossroads. It makes one ask of themselves,...

A Civil Discourse
So it starts with a welcome to country
Which for some reason doesn’t sound too welcoming?
And seems to be about ownership & possession
And hidden behind the words is skin colour & racism
And revenge & hatred for the sins of the past
And the mistakes of the past still seem to be repeating
Only now they’ve been twisted around to the other side
And it’s all about sides & which side people are on
And the bigotry of the past is replaced by a new bigotry
So who is worth more now - black, brown, yellow, white?
And how is it valued –...

liberty.. of enfrightenment
on Shaquille O’Neal’s
WNBA spiel,
how he’d smash a woman
with his dominant skills,
think you’d know better,
doctorate in studies,
like Redd Foxx would say
you’re really a “BIGG dummy”,
in the college classroom
he knows better to chill,
a girl could slam his basket
with a very bitter pill!
who’s right or who’s wrong
in your home,
may depend
on the level of testosterone,
like a “real man”
as Donald Trump, ...

Just Plain Complaining
Ever wonder why the self-proclaimed "greatest nation on the planet" runs a financial structure that promotes total slavery?
Attending college to get a job where one can:
a) manage someone else's money
b) count someone else's money
c) build someone else's business into a more powerful entity
d) learn and enforce laws created by people long dead, or unaffected by the laws they have made
e) teach these laws to other people's children
f) "insert your 2 cents here"
The system attaches food, shelter, clothing, , benefits for one's...
