Topics, subjects, headlines, sentences, paragraphs, letters that forms words is word play...
We use them this way and that way
to comfort
to hurt
to describe
to besmirch
to judge, to sentence
to menace and threaten
betting
collecting
to subscribe medicine directing
Fingers gripping pens to write the mind opening topics with subjects that form paragraphs from letters to words, different languages, meanings to mean one thing or another. English alphabet, and other nations' characters, whether or not you are them or actors, no matter the factors
we use them this way or that way
to comfort
or hurt
to make an imaginary scape coat for something that's wrong (sorry)
words are strong, no matter how they belong to be written to make the pen sing songs with a circled controlled motion hoping the word play means something...Could mean nothing, but that is word play, right?

Is the home of the **** hearted that sent people to graves by the gun they held….dearly departed….it’s hard to live in this beautiful place without hiding our face away from danger and the gangster anger…angrily leaving us weary about loving
“Brooklyn”
…money taken late at night…killing pride from inside like venom from a snake bite…why fight to live…we have given so much and still give for a decent living…and still have to worry about being sent to our grave by brave thugs who shoulders shrug when they send that hollow tip slug to our chest digging itself deep inside like venom from a snake bite killing our pride…’cause we think we can’t do anything…yet we have power of might….but it won’t matter at night…’cause the **** hearted blood suckers from “Brooklyn” have already token what we cherished the most
“Our Brooklyn” streets are filled with life stripped ghost….belt on pants are used as a gun host…spill the first sip of a 40 ounce to toast the dearly departed…
”Brooklyn” my home of the **** hearted, hidden face from the gangster angled anger....I am no stranger to the danger of “Brooklyn”

"New York City...My city of reality...my city of those broken dreams...my city of the business schemes...New York City....my home sweet home...the only place my heart will roam...so i could never ever leave it alone"

So
You're from this place...and that place...and you're tough to save face...so...shoulder shrug at opinions...but you're still not a ****...you're not tough enough to be one...talking about small things you've done...but I've been there son...before you begun...and you have the nerve to pull a gun...is it loaded?...so...are you going to use it?....so....but you're still not a **** so...let go of the tough guy personae....

So...you got a lot of money...and you think violence is funny....and you're rich beyond belief...so...the ones you love could still leave...you can lose it all like a tree looses a leaf...from time to time...so get straight in your mind....and let go of your greed....

So...you're addicted to drugs...that you purchase from thugs....and smoke it up in shrubs or bushes...but what would drug dealers be if not pushers?....if not killers...if not ******...if not races that are labeled from blood line traces...if not saving faces cause they're from their tough guy personae filled places...? Stop being racist...

People can say that they're this or they're that...they got this...they got that...they're this tough...or they was that tough...but when is it enough...?...can they amount to being this or that before they go...? Or will they tell you and you'd be like...so...

Hearing what someone has shouldn’t draw your conclusion of what that person is...how that person acts...who that person is inside....we should all get to know who we are by experience...hands on education is the best form of education there is...

A poetic mind will never find it so hard to see the words....to feel the words...
to place the words so perfectly where he or she may want them to be...

In a poetic mind lays a soul....that has enough control to impose that words are never easy to let go...so they over flow....some darker than others...which smothered the un-uttered compact and cluttered words.....

A poetic mind will unwind from time to time....some poems will rhyme....more often than many will not....but that won't stop that poets poetic mind....day dreams of the words that fall into place in front of faces....not leaving spaces on the paper to write another un-uttered smothered word that compacts and clutters the poets poetic mind like window shutters....

A poetic mind can never let words just be...written from left to right....its just to easy to write....a mesh of words blistering the finger tips from the pen grips...and the paper scrapes...across each line because that poetic mind will find it....so easy to grind it or engrave the words...so a poetic mind becomes a slave to the paper....blank is it? to you it may be...but on a blank sheet of paper I see....words rhyming in perfect harmony....made from the poetic part of the mind of mine.....

This poetic mind won't find it hard to see....the words that I perfectly place together....whether in blue or black my poetic mind won't cut slack to the blisters on my finger tips....or let go of my pen that drips in motion that places....the words so gracious...leaving paper with no spaces to write another smothered compact un-uttered word made from a poetic mind....a mind of mine....

Depression is the state of mind I’m in from not having what I want…to living in sin….**** it must have been…circling in my head from time to time….making people laugh to ease their pain hiding mine…I’ll be fine….I’m on my own….feeling lost….sitting alone….tossed into a heap pushing towards the edge not ready to leap…**** is too deep…feeling weak…dizzy head….closed mouth can’t speak…can’t sleep…waiting for a lesson or some kind of session…to forget my…

Depression is the state of mind I was in…swimming to the top never letting the current of life’s strong river drag me in again…the deep steep end….no more depression… I’m no longer depressed….pressed like hard wood…dressed some what sort of good….misunderstood…abused and of course accused of the misused guided guidelines…lined for a good life….wanting a good wife…some kids….like boxes stacked on skids (perfectly)…or pallets if you will…a dream of a castle built with no hassle…to build to the guild…no questions….suggesting I give up on…

Depression is no longer the state of mind I’m in…look at me I’m swimming to the top…stopping the depression state of mind…I win…

Depression is something we all deal with...it’s you who could make you feel that you’re depressed....and it’s you who could stop the feeling....you don’t need medicine that has side effects of suicidal thoughts....you need yourself...remember that only you know who you are...

I blink musical words like birds whistle or chirps on their perch or vine....their sharp tuned song sung so Devine...my mind...I can't seem to find a time where I can relax...or just collapse...so until then I'll continuously rhyme rhymes of rocks...of girls....of mom never of pops....of funny girl tops...of scared feelings never revealing...heart closed consealing...heart is slowly healing which is being filled with names in silly rap games while the music fills my veins....

I think music when I'm sleeping it's keeping me breathing so I can't stop leaving poems here and there cause I can see words like neo (matrix) sees numbers...everywhere....everyone wonders where my mind goes but they don't really care...so I stare music in the face like an evil goon in a nightmare...

I shall use musical words to strum my bow across my violin...placing my fingers along the finger board in chords I never played before never getting bored...a real eye sore...I swore I won't play for myself no more...I shall play my violin to express the words I can't say or sing...like musicals that relate to a late Mozart day...I shall play even when it rains because of the music in my veins...

Can't let go of the feeling....being lost without a cause just cause....I have no Clause....no calls to being some one's....(belonging to no one)....not just anyone's....but that some one who would always want me for me...not who I could be...I can't let go of...short passages with no aim in this poetry stained game...I stay a slave to...making my pen engrave the words quicker then my mind thinks....filling the paper with empty but thoughtful passages links...to a piece of my heart...yet another wasted unpublished word art...I part with no dashes...write about lost and found love....yup staying a slave to this feeling I can't let go of....
Fighting with such a discretion when my mind thinks...
Visioning alphabetical words when my eyes blinks...
Jotting down so many sentences my hand stinks...
being a slave to this poetry stained game links
to a piece of my heart yet another wasted unpublished word art....

-Peter T. DeSpirito
