I could have sworn
that my heart stopped
and my skies fell down,
the grounds swallowed the
trees and mountains in,

the stars disappeared to
thin air,
and the sun decided to
give up on life, too,

when you left
me.

My thoughts are crabbed and sallow,
My tears like vinegar,
Or the bitter blinking yellow
Of an acetic star.

Tonight the caustic wind, love,
Gossips late and soon,
And I wear the wry-faced pucker of
The sour lemon moon.

While like an early summer plum,
Puny, green, and ****,
Droops upon its wizened stem
My lean, unripened heart.

he always said he
could count his
flaws on
both hands

but;
I loved him for
the way
his imperfections
made him whole ..

I saw how his
soul
was so
beautifully
torn and

that all of his
imperfectly scattered
pieces
would always
fit together perfectly
with mine

The wish I have known folks, makes you laugh.
Makes you enraged with discuss.

A woman constantly abused in the community.
Many folks know it.
None chose to do anything about it.

But once, she found beaten and abused.
Maybe even dead, that's when we hear,  I wish I have known.
But many do.
And still plays the silent fool.

A child being abused and molested.
Maybe kidnapped or something more.
Maybe being sold to the highest bidder.
Or something to worst to even mention.
Here comes, I wish I have known.

Or claim with pride, it's none of my business.
When it really is.

News, highlight, we becoming an uncaring world.
But that's not why the Lord God has us here?

We required to help the helpless.
Be their protector.
For some just don't have that fight.

We required to be that shining light.
God guides us to disavow wrong by doing right.

We are his angels of righteousness.

Life is like an old car tire,
leaving a piece of it behind
wherever it goes.
When it encounters a speed bump,
it slows.
As it hits a *** hole,
it breaks down.
Conditions may get rough
and the tire may pop,
but it can be inflated.
Be inflated and travel further,
touch more people and leave more behind.
As the journey progresses,
the tread thins
preparing itself to be replaced;
by another tire
