Have A Happy First Birthday Archie!
By Stanley Collymore
At the age of one year old although that #
birthday is significantly important not
only to the recipient of that specific
honour but correspondingly too,
in this laudable process of necessary
celebration his or her parents, their
intimate family members, salient
friends, and all unfeigned well-
wishers; this individual day
and the true honour that
is carefully and closely
intimately linked to it
does, nevertheless
and incontestably
so, belong to the
eminent person ...

17 and 11/12ths
He's sobbing, overwhelmed
on the edge of adulthood
desperate to be told who he is
while balking against all limits
A joy and a treasure since birth,
what a gift that he shares
this tender heart,
this need for mom's hugs
And if I could, I'd relieve his confusion
But all my wisdom feels useless.
I know now,
I will have to witness
him gathering his own.
on the edge of adulthood
desperate to be told who he is
while balking against all limits
A joy and a treasure since birth,
what a gift that he shares

And if I could, I'd relieve his confusion
But all my wisdom feels useless.
I know now,

Exploit The Scar
Searching for the balance
Learning when and what to say
Wrestling with contempt between yours
And my own way
Taking on the blame of corruption
At the mercy of humility
Stifle the eruption
All I do right amounts to nothing
Measured against my inability
By the standards and the stride
Of criticism given as advice
Boasting by comparison to a generations pride
Cut me down and be so condescending
Your intent is coming...
Learning when and what to say
Wrestling with contempt between yours
And my own way
Taking on the blame of corruption
At the mercy of humility
Stifle the eruption
All I do right amounts to nothing
Measured against my inability
By the standards and the stride
Of criticism given as advice
Boasting by comparison to a generations pride
Cut me down and be so condescending
Your intent is coming...

child support
heritage from a land,
of “stand tall like a man”,
your legacy and you
a sure bet,
a mini you to love,
identity a glove,
offspring is a man’s
greatest asset,
spouting the pride,
but when needed to guide,
your self-centered nature
sows regrets,
no support,
none in the mail,
always a mad rail
and tall tell to sell,
“fuck support”
is what you say,
“you go to hell”
“there ain’t no way”,
“I’ll stay in a 6 by 8
before I...
of “stand tall like a man”,
your legacy and you
