If your papers were due today
what grade would you have earned?
the highest of praise to gain you light
or the lowest to send you in a burn
the words you write, are the actions you display
which get put in a pile for the teachers awaiting grade
how you treated others, the way you spoke
the cancer you were, or the nastiest joke
how many errors would you have?
where the teacher forgave you
corrected..put in ink
cleansed, he bathed you
did you stay on course?
and follow the team
or head to many nations
to spread the dream
did you love yourself
and write about it to brag
did you give your neighbor
the same love that you had
hurry class
follow the rubric
did you create your own paper
or copied...you glued it
did you talk while writing?
or be silenced by fear
for the words that you write
can hinder your year
both life and death
radiate from your pencil
did you cross out your errors
as if the teacher was right with you
many things are uncertain
but we can be sure of this
the teacher is returning
im awaiting the bliss
grade..my..paper..
temporary assignment
HE
He goes
His work is paramount,
in the eyes of most
He floats
with praise,
keeping him at the post
He went
and changed the game we see
with great works
in us human beings
Wondering eyes conclude
its all just a show
realist can tell
he wants to see you grow
hyperbole
exaggerated press
turning your life around
tragedy & mess
……
success
The Hood Myth
What I’ve encountered on a daily drugs, lies , sex , athletes kids in the hood drugs,such a virtuous man promises what he’lol do then follows up with a plan lies, don’t we all tell em ‘ to the ones we love in the hood it’s required to stay afloat lies walk so proudly but Don’t sleep at all because while you’re sound asleep lies remembers all his flaws sex, fuck all u can thAt make u a man? who the hell made these rules then it dawned on me .. damn sex is the cause why we got so many clones mommas working the grave with fatherless homes she done made so many kids like she a fuckin machine sex mindset in the hood fuck her intelligence can I get In between? them legs athletes, dribble, catch, shoot in a powerful way who knew you’d get bad grades mans eventually not play all that’s glorified is talent and being an exception cant even pass the test bet u fail the next one more emphasis placed on winning a game than maintaining your grades what a fuxkin shame the hood is a myth
Dear you,
Nights are different
even deaf I can say
no words to be heard
just the ones I replay
days are much slower
the longer they last
what more could have been done?
just might I ask..
you searched long and hard
through the depths of your soul
guess you didn’t go deep enough
so much we don’t know
you gave me just half
when I exhibited completion
guess man has declined
and his power, weakened
the kindess you give
isn’t always returned
in fact , it pains me to say
youre often left burned
through the flame of embarrassment
and the torch of your flaws
dear you
so different from them all
Romance isn’t love
Is it worth it? for a man to gain a goal but lose his mind? if this goal is dressed up in beauty that even the blind (could see) this goal.. this pursuit All a waste of a mans time property , he becomes to be owned by his goal remodeled, fixed up then confidently sold beat down and battered from the thoughts of his goal for the past is too much for the goal to let go positioned for love lifetimes of joy Is a goal worth it?
Conclude you.
I’ve came to the conclusion that we’re all conclusions someones decisions and actions shaped who we are never the complete always the piece of the sum learn it just when we get too high someone comes and knocks us too low life pain lingers thoughts drift Daily suffering what a world? whos conclusion are you?
Timely
You ever wished you had one more wish? one more chance one more moment with her Feelings thoughts emotions pride takes over one wish for one more wish she is and was timely
inconvenience
Feeling super bad about the wrong that I done the faces I've turned the hearts that I've broken I'm an idea, a consequence a reason a disappointment wrapped in one moments turned to memories moments turned to times you gave me everything thoughtful loving lines Maybe I'm not the guy people want me to be the guy I pose to be if this is love? you shouldn't feel like me shitty. Poison I'm no cure things get worse lose me SORRY
Apologies
Such a beautiful being prayer dynamic being I'm sorry for all This wall that wall throwing chairs Apologies fill this room I'm sorry never enough I couldn't give you what you needed hurt feelings crying made up Apologies fill this room Created life ended one thank you for you Apologies fill this room I didn't deserve your ideas your truth your being your love selfish I was selfish I am sun on one side moon on the other I'll always share a special place for you Apologies fill this room
