Color my skin police
Blue
Call me a *****
Label me privileged
Whiten my flesh
Beat me to a pulp
Pick my cotton
Develop our culture
Of hate
Allow the media vultures
To consume the rest of what's left of our ignorance
When forgiveness is extinct

The racist black
The racist cop
The racist white
The racist facts

How do you overcome the past
When it falls into your lap
And the division
Doesn't equal what you add

You allow time
To heal the error
Add love and a plan to get better
Together
If our families matter
More than the color
Of our flesh

The race is human
And we need each other
To battle the evil
Which attacks

The loving black
The loving cop
The loving white
With the power of forgiveness
Can win this
Regardless of the enemy
Trying to destroy the Unity
True Patriots have

Fight back
White & Black
Are a Force

When we're together
Watching each others back
Like we were
Before the media told us

We should hate each other
Because Hilary Lost
I always get crapped on for my conservative views and I lose half my audience Not all my poems are political driven I apologize if this triggers you but that's how roll you diggg

Are you the light
When the darkness bites

Do you shine
When the wound bleeds bad

Will you stand
When the weak
Fall to their knees in tears

Could you carry the wounded
To the safety begged

For

You are the light
God's candle
A spark
To the fireside
Where it's warm

And comfort
Is just an arm away
In hugs

For no dark
Can take away love

Are you a soldier for Gods
Or yours

Are you a light
Or just a bright spot

Where do you get your power from
And I'll tell you why it's dim

Are you the Light
Within the Truth
Where the Way
Resides

If not
You better turn in on!

Before you get left
             In the dark
                  Tonight

I tried to inspire you

Set you on fire
So you could aspire to
Write something
Desirable

But I failed
You see
I'm not really a poet

I just try to be

Something I'm not

It's the only thing I've got
I tried to inspire you
So it could help me a lot

I tried to set you on fire
So you could desire what I want

Even though I'm not good enough
You could

Possibly be The One
God blessed
You could be the one
That gets everything I wanted here

Instead
You could inspire me

To be better
           Than

                            I am

Sux
Being a thorn
When I could have been

The 🌹 Rose

Adorned
  Adored

                    I guess
I'll have to protect it

               From what
               ..The world

                       The 🌹 Rose
Such a beautiful red dress
Of petals

Fragrantly spread
Across feminine
Tones

     The scent
Makes a man
Moan

Sux being a thorn
      We get cut off

Before a woman
    Ever holds us

But the Rose
Gets her hold

I was supposed to protect
But no one protected me
From the humans

You know what they're doin'
They'll cut you off
For their own good

Sux being a thorn

When I could have been
The Rose

Adorned
  Adored

angelique
you breathe in sweet zephyrs
you speak in rosewood and petal-moss
you sing in cascading ultramarine
you smile in gleaming lavender lust
blue
like the ionian sea
or silken-soul river
and momentarily
a lucid
sapphire touch
~ and your eyes,
they burn like a blue sun ~
