The Great Replacement Theory And Abortion
Yes, people pull the trigger - but guns are the instrument of death. Gun control is necessary, and delay means more death and horror. Eliot Spitzer
I had the idea to start my Sunday off with writing about a controversial element that has hindered our nation, and that is the debate of pro-life versus pro-choice. In more subtle terms, abortion, however an act of hate has consumed New York, yet once again.
I am stunned regarding the mental breeding of why someone within this day and age who still fosters a new millennium of creating a superior race, that ideology has held...

Violate Me
can you see me standing?
you’ve left me here, waiting!
watching me in the dark, lurking,
undesired, it’s god demned frustrating!
looking around, the world is burning,
coming out for air, where’s the healing?
monochromatic skin tone, the lightness I’m feeling,
a ugly dark art on tart, the usual reality I’m seeing!
wrapped gloriously with the six yards of grace,
these colorful silhouettes, are ready for embrace,
sensuality with a silky drape, moments never to waste,
yet these abusers, inculcated what is fair, are teaching...

Mental Illness and Homelessness
There are things that we all may
not understand. Those that are
suffering from homelessness, are
the mentally ill, runaways, victims
of domestic violence, and so forth.
But yet, we choose to ignore these
individuals! Society is a very tough
place to live with, when you're down.
The buildings that are being built are
basically luxury rental, only to keep
the poor and low income cut out
of the picture. We have so much crime
in major cities, that it causes people to
move out and not wanting to return to
these places they...

Theater of the Absurd
A complete lack of decorum
in what should be an august forum
Racism, Sexist and Misogyny
during the Judicial Confirmation hearing is what I see
These GOP Senators have no shame
in their "Attention Whore" seeking game
A national disgrace
with no merit to their case
Another attempt to hold Black people back
and that is a fact Jack
So as a Black Poet I am telling you the word
this had been 3 days of the GOP version of-Theater of the Absurd
in what should be an august forum

The Divine Victims
There have been so many battlefields mostly forgotten
there was Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan Libya, among the many
battles and millions of dead civilians some were children
Yemen is a graveyard for children killed by Saudi bombs
Yes, the same nation we do business with.
Myanmar, ethnic cleansing is working overtime, but it is
in the east and nothing to bother about.
We have in Europe a clear-cut war, Russian versus Ukraine
Russians are bad lowbrow people, Ukrainians upright
defending their homeland; nothing could be...

Fences
White picket fences/surrounding a house made by/pretty white people
Equal rights be damned/built on the graves and backs of/millions of dead
Fertilized by blood/start to grow like poll numbers/blotting out the sun.
This mammon of greed/avarice, disparity/snakes like ziggurats
Built to honor long/dead dollar bills with faces/of long dead white men
Who ruled with iron/whips, truncheons, fire hoses/lengths of knotted rope
And complacency/grows too high, rotting the base/with holy priv’ledge
Vines like knotted hands/grasp the roots of oppression/and pulls, stem...

Dangerous Streets
I woke up one day and realized that I had a lot of hate in my heart
It was within my blood, my thoughts weighed heavy on this
As my tears scorched my face, too hot to wipe away
Too angry to justify my reasons for this hate
So therefore I picked up this smile
And I placed it upon my face
Though my eyes spoke its truth my mouth refused to vocalize
Although my hands wanted to react my arms refused to initiate
Yet still I walked with hate, I wore it, like I wore my flesh
It was me and I was clearly it
I would say that I was taught this hate, or...

Huss Rap
I am trying to get some release
or even some peace
but I only see hating on the increase
Lord save me from the gazpacho police
Do it Lord posthaste
bc I have no time to waste
and all this Discrimination is a disgrace
and uglier that MTG face
Instead of looking at her I would rather get hit with mace
in any case
God, I am hungry and could use a bowl of Bouillabaisse
or even some peace
but I only see hating on the increase
Lord save me from the gazpacho police
Do it Lord posthaste
bc I have no time to waste
and all this Discrimination is a disgrace
and uglier that MTG face
Instead of looking at her I would rather get hit with mace
in any case
God, I am hungry and could use a bowl of Bouillabaisse

The Grand Wizard
I could only imagine how this poem is going to go
When the words from my cerebral cortex begins to flow
Some may need an umbrella from a sense of past lineage pain
To withstand the rooted scars of ancestral rains
Readers, hold on to your seats
I’ll grasp your hand as our divided minds come to greet
Three little words
For anyone who’ve never heard
The history of such
That has affected years of hated, parades, demonstrations pretty much
Burning crosses
In the name of...
