You drink sweet coffee early mornings and sweat
pearls down your nape on summer  nights; you
dream of want.

Zinnia’s sit in an amber vase on your kitchen table,
bacon fries in a cast iron skillet;
there is regret.  

I know you, even though
we have never
met.

Feeling you

I want to be so close to her
that she feels my words
touching her
the way I want to

She was a Gemini
she spun me around as she walked by
her ocean blue eyes, caught my eye
had to say something before she passed by
looking each other over, we both said hi
her smile lifted my spirits high
we fell in love, like love at first sight in clear blue sky
went on a date that day, were an item by night
I could tell it was real, everything felt right
making more than just love
sparked a fire
in each others life
that will
burn for our the rest of our life
if living without her is wrong
then I don't want to be a right
thats just the way I feel about it
cause once you have amazing
you cant live without it
that's why I  just want to be so close to her
that she feel my words
the way I felt her

.
All the new flowers have gone.
I see flocks of birds flying away,
The waters, tear blue mountains,
Fall, rush and scold, are running
Cold— wind, whispers and goes,
Lonely as a tree without leaves.

Many, doesn't think of things any other way but their way.
But when you put things in perspective.
Just maybe your mind will change.

If wanted suspects killed 8 officers in a role.
Then sympathy will pour out to them for the service to the community they did.

Oh, don't let the news give it that caring personal spin.
We must remember reporters are police departments best friends.
If you putting things in perspective.

Which enrage many minorities in communities.

Fearful and not brave white officers goes on this **** the innocent shooting spree.
And the ones that killed get twisted into following officers directives,
What not reported?
Many officers over step their directives constantly.
And notice none like to testify against one another hen the rogue cop is wrong.

You can't justify wrong.
Especially if done constantly by those with a badge.

Bring your rage out.
Show it.
Don't operate on it.
Not where violence must be imposed.

Bring your rage out.
Express it.
Protest it to your first amendment right.

Put up a fight until voices hears yours.
Remember if you a registered voter that you have various power.

Let a cage situation set long enough.
Soon you see that cage situation rise and soon engulf up until solved.
So bring your rage up.

Peyton, not the type.
Brady, is not the type.
Michael Jordan, never been the one.
So you must admire Colin Kaepernick protesting.
We knew when he chose to do this.

He would be the team backup.

As much as many states they marched with King , the truth stands many rose to do anything.

Similar to many ministers now.
Many has no back bone to represent anyone.
And these the ones saying be like Jesus without comprehending his stand.

Aaron Rodgers, wouldn't.
Stephen Curry, well hard to say.
This also goes for Lebron James.

People called "brand" don't like to tarnish their image.

And these guys mention are millionaires.
So for a players of Colin's stature to create a conversation.
He must be saluted.

Notice, it's the youth group of players starting this revolution.
Then, if you remember the sixties protesters and hippies they also was the young ones.

Those in power had to face the rage of a changing nation.

Be a good soldier.
Stay quiet.
Bite your tongue and you get ahead.

We know them by not seeing wrong when it occurs.

Rank, that's on probation bites their tongue and report nothing.
It's protocol.
Soon they be in a serious position.

And it continue on and on in various sectors.
Especially if you're in anything political.

Or jobs requiring you to survive months and months of probationary periods.
