Self Hatred (An Overflow)
Why am I so stupid? What the fuck is wrong with me? Nothing works. I ache so badly, an everywhere ache that’s cold at the center and boiling at the surface. I hate my body, I hate my face, I hate my personality, I hate my soul. I wish someone would just kill me so I wouldn’t be left to sit in the mess I made. I can’t do anything of worth, I can’t express my feelings well. I’m mean and selfish and loud and quiet and fucked. I hate how I hope too much, I hate how I can’t feel angry at anyone but myself. I hate that I can’t cut it out of myself, amputation of the emotions. I hate my eyes, for...

The Marionette and the Puppeteer
Having fun on his own, the puppeteer wanted any toy to pass the time with—a plaything for his lecherous mind. There, he noticed the puppet sleeping soundly in the same room—the perfect doll, he thought.
At first, it began with stolen glances and grazes across her figure. Then, when the lights were turned off and everyone was asleep, his show started, and his costume was on, designed to do tricks for her—tricks she had never felt before, and neither did she want to feel.
Paralyzed, lying like a corpse as he fastened the strings around her wrists, joints, and limbs, she...

Unshackled Yet Enchained (Nigeria's Cry)
October 1st, a day of claimed pride,
Nigeria's independence, a partial stride,
From colonial chains, we broke the mold,
But subtle bonds remain, our progress to hold.
The masters left, but their systems stay,
Institutions rigged, to keep us at bay,
Economic strings, pulled from afar,
Our resources exploited, like a scar.
Foreign powers meddle, with hidden hands,
Influencing policies, that grip our lands,
IMF and World Bank, with conditional ties,
Shackling our growth, with debt's disguise.
Our leaders, puppets on a...

She calls him her boyfriend, he calls her to f**k
She likes him because she could see his deep-seeded hatred for women
Every time they have sex, he thought of himself as some kind of slick con-man, managing to talk his way into her panties
He feels like a safe cracker
He knows this is his game and he's in complete control
He only visits her at her place
She's never been to his place, let alone not even sure on what town he lives in
He never bothers to ask her for her name or even age
He's been seeing her for about 4 years
She has no friends and no one she can trust, except him
She has a child who...

STILL ON THE PLANTATION
It's me again the story teller of unspoken words ✍️ that will affect you in ways that you could never truly understand, how much of what I say is the truth that subconsciously reaches into the deepness of your own mind thoughts. 🧐 For example it's something that goes far beyond this world in which one is living within now. 😞 YET it is a fact of what our lives are now and yet we still were not free, for we as slaves was set free by the same individuals, that held us in chains as our master the overseers of our lives. 🤨 Let's not forget about the hanging...

Save me
I'm slowly sinking
Sinking into the dark abyss
I'm screaming
I'm screaming my lungs out
But you don't hear it
Only you can save me now
Only you can help
I took a leap of faith
Hopping you would catch me as I fell
But you just walked away
And left me here to die
You acted like you'd catch me
But it all was just a lie
I'm slowly sinking
Sinking into the dark abyss
I'M FUCKING SCREAMING
You don't hear it
Or...
Sinking into the dark abyss
I'm screaming
I'm screaming my lungs out
But you don't hear it
Only you can save me now
Only you can help
I took a leap of faith
Hopping you would catch me as I fell
But you just walked away
And left me here to die
You acted like you'd catch me
But it all was just a lie

Sinking into the dark abyss

Lazy In The Days Of Industry
Who can choke us?
Pay for a crime we can’t commit.
And stoke the fire until it’s bright burning blue.
Hocus pocus.
We should all just admit.
There’s no one at the top looking out for you.
It’s just a way of life.
You’ve got to earn it all.
Work like a slave.
Dream of the empire’s fall.
Work, work, work!
Work, work, work!
Work, work, work!
Work, work, work!
Public service announcement time.
Listen up you little men.
You can’t get away.
With living lazy ways.
Lazy in the days...
Pay for a crime we can’t commit.
And stoke the fire until it’s bright burning blue.
Hocus pocus.
We should all just admit.
There’s no one at the top looking out for you.
It’s just a way of life.
You’ve got to earn it all.
Work like a slave.
Dream of the empire’s fall.
Work, work, work!
Work, work, work!
Work, work, work!
Work, work, work!
Public service announcement time.
Listen up you little men.
You can’t get away.
With living lazy ways.

True Justice (Stony Island)
The young boy of ten was in the hospital bathroom having a hard time shitting
While his sister was in vaginal pain experiencing the dark side of female living,
“Both coming home from elementary school was kidnapped and raped
Left in an alley for dead as the sick bastards made their escape,
“The mayor tried to keep it on the low to prevent a riot
A call from DC stated this is an election year-keep the incident quiet,
“When the citizens found out, this was another blow to the face
That illegals committed the crime and the government tried...

Because !!!
Because i am black
this cafe is for the white
Because i am poor
This avenue is for the rich
And because i am a native resident
This town is only for the civilized
And because i am a believer
This church is for the atheists

And because and because and because !!!!
And because you say i am bad,
So all the world agrees with the fact
That me being bad, makes me an easy target
And because you are the chief
So all you say must be,...

Sore - just another running metaphor
Your words blurred
as I hit play on a
Frieda McFadden
plot twister
and slip my
phone in my pocket.
My lips part in a full-teeth-grimace
when I grab my ankle for
a stretch
against the
screaming protest
from my abs and
shoulders and
legs and…
Fuck.
I ache.
Everywhere.
Athletes start to loose
muscle tone after three
weeks of inactivity
Three weeks.
I was knocked out

A conversation in my head
So , listen Rob, I really think you and I should have a conversation
Ive been sitting here quiet giving you time but Im starting to lose my patience
You brood and you sulk and pity yourself
And frankly its not good for our health
Youre dragging me down, always depressed
Just being around you is hard to digest
Im craving something more from life than this miserable existence
Everything's crashing down around us and you put up no resistance
Do you think the world just revolves around you?
That what you do doesn't affect me too? ...
