You come in different shades, waves, feels…
How you make me feel you… Blue
Blue you are the first one I see on a sunny day.
Blue like the sky counting the puffy white clouds shaped like sheep,
Blue like the blues that skip the rhythm of the beat,
Blue like the sea, with waves extending your range.
How many lives bask in your glory?
Blue-
Ah, how many ways I can feel you.
Speak my peace-
Euros, pesos, and money lust.
Chambered living,
Hustling to get out the crust,
Frustrated in time.
Golden coins wait for no one.
We seek above our pay grade,
With our Diploma’s in check but,
the amount of schooling
does not reflect the time spent
in a broken living.
Restricted by the cards laid on our deck,
Born rich, live rich-
But how many of us rise above poverty?
There is a system to this.
Chasing a dream to catch,
Suppressed by the gold and silver.
Working all the time-
When do we live?
Like the job we have
Is the place where we were born,
Calling it our home.
Money manipulating our minds
Making us lose ourselves.
Paper green consistency,
Measured by the piece.
Speaking my peace-
Who to trust when money’s spent?
Greed for green cause consistent evil
within societies.
Fortune equals fraud.
We hustle hard for an assimilated living.
Money makes us make moves.
I hold no doubts,
That through the pyramid structure of economic range,
I will cruise,
I will elevate,
Because I, see I
Will break my chains.
We have one life to live,
One life to be in the presence.
So bread will not make me a brawler,
I will not be enslaved by a dollar.
I was once a seed tossed away
to the side of the concrete
until you paved a place for me to stay.
You dug into the dirt.
You watered my soul.
I was once a seed,
now I am a rose.
There is beauty in the simplicity of saying,
I want you.
Sometimes, that is all I want to hear.
I have a million thoughts but no words to share.
As a lover, she is a warrior but not
in the way you think. She does not
use knives nor blades. She
uses patience and understanding
as her weapons. She fights
with her heart until it stops beating.
Her heart is made of shield.
As a fighter, she heals.
