Today
What I will think tomorrow about yesterday:
I love hearing empires fall...
The sound of their collapses
is so good that it touches the pleasure
of a long-forgotten classic
in the damp mouth of the wind.
I love hearing empires fall...

Lawfare
Proud man; simple, simple fool...
gave up too soon on the golden rule
and devised himself a devious way
to keep other folks from having a say
at what is fair and what is not
in the grand mosaic of human thought,
and that way devised he labeled as law
which too soon stuck in the collective craw
where all needs and creeds had to be deduced
so tribulations could be reduced
and the mix, betwixt, all land and folks
wouldn't come to be seen as cruel jokes,
in the evolution of politics,
from outrage all the way to fiddlesticks!

Disses of a woke nation
Question, are you woke?
I had to ask because not all of us are equally yoked
So we all want to take back our authority from the winning governments,
After noticing they don’t care for the masses that aren’t wearing a specific garment
“Are you willing to die for me?” the joker asked and it’s a deep question,
Having many different layers that burn the eyes like an onion
A few notes were found on how to oppress the race I represent,
But I know that was intentionally released to aid in the agenda of the liberal percent
We...

inkblots
You can't exist in this world without leaving a piece
of yourself behind.”―Jodi Picoult
the marks i leave
are more than inkblots,
for i believe
they touch the right spots
on every page
that they engage,
in times of peace or days of riots.
i leave a splash
for youth at random,
whose balderdash
may one day blossom
out of the rage
of this dark age,
whose inkblots hold the world to ransom.
i leave an ode
for those who wander ...
of yourself behind.”―Jodi Picoult

Vik~Queens.....(Viking men in delirium)
Behind every powerful King,
stands an ever more powerful Queen
That bond, never to be broken
She is his only path
to his personal destiny
to be forever in united bliss
Yet he takes her for granted
Only selling his seed for those that spread
He will soon learn
His actions are not of those within how you "father"
but within those you teach, as you act
and the mother, The Queen, that is the most important role of them all...
For without her
the children would be run crazy
and the King would...

To the Max
I’m pushing to the max, but it’s never enough
You say “you’re only worth your tears, sweat and blood”
Who are you to decide how far to push my limit?
My fragile sanity's the last control I refuse to relinquish.
Fate, destiny, karmic debt
They’re a bunch of lies, and you’re merely a pest
It was my stupidity that lent you that power
What should have been sweet has left a taste that’s sour.
You push me to the max, way past my limit
I say “I’ve had enough,” but you never listen
You told me you had my back, yet you made me your victim ...
You say “you’re only worth your tears, sweat and blood”
Who are you to decide how far to push my limit?

You told me you had my back, yet you made me your victim ...

the secret word
Once exposed, a secret loses all its power.”―Ann Aguirre
it comes from deep within a shell,
pressed closely to the ear,
whose music no one else can tell
but he who holds it dear.
i hear it in the ripple of
the gently flowing spring:
a word of patience and of love
...

footprints on the pavement
You can't leave a footprint that lasts if you're always
walking on tiptoe.”—Marion Blakey
martyrs
walk in mortar,
culprits
in the sand;
pulpits
hide big talkers,
gloves are
love’s command.
footprints
on the sandbank
wither
into nought ...
walking on tiptoe.”—Marion Blakey

the spoken word
"Words have to be used wisely; nothing can heal
and hurt like words spoken."―Isaac A. Yowetu
i cut―i mend, i bite―i heal:
i am the spoken word!
i strike the moment with the steel
of swift and solid sword.
my metaphors are mammoth stout,
my similes pin-shrewd.
my onomatopoeic clout,
to stubborn ears, are rude,
clip-clopping like a horse in...
and hurt like words spoken."―Isaac A. Yowetu

Mantra
If this is my ego I want it to break
To see past myself, I need it to break
If this is the world I want it to break
To build something new we need it to break
If this is what life is I want it to break
We're not made for this, to live it must break
If this is sustaining us I want it to break
It poisons itself, we must make it break
To see past myself, I need it to break
If this is the world I want it to break
To build something new we need it to break
If this is what life is I want it to break
We're not made for this, to live it must break
If this is sustaining us I want it to break
It poisons itself, we must make it break

Roses in the River
Can I meet you at the waterpark
I’m touching
all your body parts
wherever we are
tell me can I touch it
brushin past
all your buttons
that’s how I get the party start
really wishin we could press start
at the beginning
hard to bet on love if
I can’t see
who’s winning?
we posed to be, twinning but I guess I gotta win alone
face it without you
now I’m wishing that I had a clone
we can’t split a rib
if someone always ends up
picking bones
at least it’s something right
way better...

Pick Up the Pieces
Who are you to judge me so?
It’s easy to say forgive and let things go
There’s a gnawing grip on my heart
One wrong move and it’ll be torn apart.
-
It’s up to me to pick up the pieces
No one else will do it for me
Only I can silence my inner demons
And bless my mind with much needed peace.
-
You have no right to speak so easily
When you horde resources greedily
They say the quiet ones have plenty to say
I will not grant you the warmth of the sun’s rays.

It’s up to me to pick up the pieces
Of what remains of my...
