Melanin shields my body
From the harsh
Ever present sun above
And
Grants me assurance
Anytime i catch her rays
That cancer,
Shall
Not prevail over me.

My covering
Halts my youth
From crumbling,
Compelling all
To speculate my age.

Children of Europe!
Do not gaze at my blackness
With contempt,
Nor caste judgment on 
Me when a lover of trouble
With
My complexion goes forth
Stirring trouble.

For all ethnicities,
House impurities.

Monday, Tuesday , Thursday and Friday,
Are the days I head out to run 2k.

Staying consistent has made me lean,
Discipline fuels me up like caffeine.

On the 15th of August,
We
Excavated the tombs of
The Queen of Obedience
And
King Gypt the Meek,
Who reigned 12 years before
Their daughter,
The Preteen Queen of Mesopotamia,
Ascended the throne.

Had the elbow of our lead
Archaeologist not have pierced
The false wall shielding
Their hidden resting place,
Their elegant tombs would have
Remained forever lost.

An ancient parchment,
Semi intact but translatable,
Lying at the feet of the Kings tombs,
Contained a marriage proposal
To the young
Princess of Obedience
From the grand Island of Righteousness,
Where he spent years on
Her island relearning the ways
Of the LORD from her Holy Priest.

It Read:
''I am Gypt,
Disciple of righteousness.

From the ends of the earth
And
Within my lush empire,
Many daughters of Eve
Have Fallen short to embrace
Yahweh's instructions.

But you are without blemish,
And perfect as can be!

So take now my golden sceptre,
And rule by my side,
Until death arrives
To
Claim our short lives.''

Equal opportunity is just for show,

Success has always been tied to who you know.

Birthdays are a cause for
Celebration;
To be merry and content with
People deemed dear,
Who likewise, reverence
The day of their birth.

Yearly,
No longer than a day,
Do we adorn birthday stars
On elegant pedestals.

Yet i find myself alone
Before my cake,
Rerunning ancient
Memories
I wish could manifest their gleeful essence
Into my empty seats
To
Brighten the day i turned 25,
For this eerie silence
Is enough to bring tears
To mine eyes.

Think twice about who you let into your life,

Most people are lovers of trouble and strife.

Betrayal always comes from people you trust,

So being alert at all times is a must.
