Freedom (Prison Path)
jeffrey conyers Oct 2021
Parole?
Back into society, you are released.
A chance is given to try again.
Some strive and succeed.

Then, again?
Freedom, some just not ready for.
Because the prison path is the road they returning to.

Men, into women after serving time around men.
Would make ever effort not to return to them.

Ode To John Lennon
jeffrey conyers Oct 2021
Your music changed the perspective of music society.
A revolution of days of tripping that had many holding hands.
Imagine, all the people enjoying the music you left.

Of course, you were a Beatle and not completely by yourself.
You and your cohorts reached out and sung a beautiful song called help.

Least, with you not here?
We still have yesterday to recall.

Black Male (One of Many)
jeffrey conyers Oct 2021
Rare, I say hardly.
There are many others with felonies charges.
Yes, many black males not making their names, within the system.

Oh, not no business executive.
But, one hard dependable worker.
Yes, one of many black males.

Not that, any of us are better than those that travel through the system constantly.
We had a goal to accomplish and one being avoiding prison.

It's easy to join and easier to avoid.
But hard to get out even if you're innocent.
So I walk with pride and highly so.

One black male, or one of many not out seeking trouble.
jeffrey conyers Oct 2021
A bigot sees color.
But truly the wrong ones.

Electric bills take money.
Water services take money.
Rent takes money.

Even, if paying taxes for a property takes money.

But a bigot sees all the wrong colors.

Then, in truth, they concern, with their friends' opinions.
Some, simply can't handle the pressure of being an individual.

That Black Skillet
jeffrey conyers Oct 2021
Who remembers that thick black skillet?
Almost worse than a hammer.
Heavy duty but reliable.

Unlike, these pots and pans that burn easier today.
That black skillet stood out in various ways.

We Sit, We Listen
jeffrey conyers Oct 2021
Everybody, but you.
We sit, we listen, and we judge.
Yes, we do.
I'm only telling the truth.

The leader of the flock gives their opinion on political this and that.
Yes, they crying loudly under the attack.

But hide behind those infamous words?
You should never put your mouth upon leaders of the church.

But just because they speak?
That doesn't mean, we all agree.
Sure, some nod their heads.

But it doesn't mean, they are on board.

We listen.
We sit.
We judge.
Except, we are aware of those famous words judge not if you can't be judged.

Is It All About The Cherry
jeffrey conyers Oct 2021
The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice.
Well, what about the cherry?
Not everybody t like strawberry.

Some, like blueberry for their meals.
Some like various fruits to seal the deal.
So personal choice depends on the source.
Oct 2021 · 106
Are You Qualified?
jeffrey conyers Oct 2021
Love, we see it.
We, who seeks it?
Would like to enjoy it.

But, are you qualified?
Love takes effort to make it a purpose.
So, are you qualified to be in love?

We know folks on the job not qualified for that position.
More likely got it through a close connection.

Then, there you skilled with love thrills.
Only seeking something or someone real.

But the question remains?
Are you qualified?
Oct 2021 · 97
Very Proud Too
jeffrey conyers Oct 2021
You, ask, who I love?
I say you.
Very proud too.

You, ask to state the truth.
I say you.
Very proud too.

The beam of love still shines within my eyes.
And not once will I ever apologize.
Oct 2021 · 98
Forever Your Glue
jeffrey conyers Oct 2021
Oh, you said I should leave you because of your sickness.
But our vows said for better or worse.
I'm forever your glue.
Besides, I'm stuck on you.

The Perfect Man
jeffrey conyers Oct 2021
Don't use the movies to try to make yourself, the perfect man?
Eventually, you come to the realization, they only playing apart.

And in facts and truth, even your perfect man will have faults.

Too many of you want a Gere or Denzel type.
Like, you comprehend everything nice about their lives.

A perfect man falls under the word image.
Then don't most of us?
Presenting a pretense to those, we are trying to win to love.

What Ring?
jeffrey conyers Oct 2021
What ring?
Did Adam give Eve?
Or is it just imaginary conceived?

No, don't take this as blasphemy?
Because we hear how many preach about that ring?

I Wanna Play This Game
jeffrey conyers Oct 2021
There is a game that takes two.
I wanna play this game with you.

It can keep you warm and it can create various friction.
I wanna play this game with you.

Like, many adults do.

It can be played during the day.
It can be p[laid better at night.
And it truly doesn't need any lights.

There is this game that takes two.
But others can be added to the mix.
But in my case, I don't want this.

I just wanna play this game with you.

A little touch and go.
To make our feelings shown.

A few kisses here.
And plenty of hugs while near.
I just wanna play this game with you.

Simply Written Words
jeffrey conyers Oct 2021
How?
Does a poem offend?
When they simply written words?

Maybe the message hit home.
Made you face things done wrong?
Or you didn't do right?

In life, there are two sides to a tale.
So if written words offended you?
Then sensitive you must be.

Hell, is a reality.
Even if in this modern times you only hear about prosperity?
jeffrey conyers Oct 2021
Allegations and accusations, flying through the air.
And it always seems to fall upon a man.
Whether a high playing executive or an entertainer or athlete.

And most likely, those famous words appear.
And it's gonna fall upon men.
A mistress isn't made to be one.
It's a choice.

And most likely money accomplished this.
Bills got paid, many ladies in the shadows forget this.

Actresses accuse too.
And edit down the charms flirtation, they applied to get the part.
No one makes you get up on the casting couch for a part.
Sure, maybe an offer was supplied.
But any wise adult operates on a common-sense mind.

Women, in scriptures, created their own mess too.
One gave her man permission to step out freely.
Oh, by the way, her name was Sarah and we know of her regrets.

Another was simply manipulated by the serpent.
But in this world of two genders and one gets caught up more.
It's the man's fault.

And many are the blame.
But in the world of adulthood, it takes two to play the game.
But when trouble is exposed just one gets the majority of the blame.

Always Number One
jeffrey conyers Oct 2021
She can't take my heart.
It belongs to you.
You think I see you as a fool.

But think?
And look deep within.
See the things I do for us two.

So she can't take my heart.
It is reserved for you.
I think you think I am a fool too.

But try to recall?
How I protect us two?

The revelation lies in honesty and truth.
And it those two I'm trying to leave within you.

See me.
See my love.
Accept that you always be number one.
jeffrey conyers Oct 2021
Love takes great participation to be a great sensation to share.
To share.
To share, you know how much I care.

Love is one fantastic creation shared through various nations.
With tender care.
Yes, tender care.
Made to keep many together.

And without love.
We have an empty feeling(empty feeling).
Yes, without love.
We are seeking attention.

So love takes great participation to be a great sensation to share.
To share.
You're aware of how much I care.

But without love.
We be having an empty feeling.

The Love Zone
jeffrey conyers Oct 2021
Loving
Enduring
Intriguing
This journey, we are about to go through.

With none of our phones turned on.

So let me take you into the love zone?
Let me feel the joy we both are on.

In the love zone.
Yes, in the love.
As the music plays on.

Am I Right For You
jeffrey conyers Oct 2021
The question seems to be, Am I right for you?
I hear the rumors, baby.
Am I right for you?

I'm not abusive.
Or even cruel?
I see the off-handed looks when I am with you?

So Am I right for you?
The question seems to be.
Am I right for you?
Only you can tell me, lady.

Some think those church types are the right type.
But many of them are out doing all types of sin through the night.

Some under this pretense that those with.
Are better than us without.
But it is just not true.

Yes, it is just not true.

Still, I wonder?
Am I right for you?

No Gloom Here
jeffrey conyers Sep 2021
Why are you always smiling?
Why not?
Why be sad if still breathing this free air?

Why are you happy?
Why not be?
This world is filled with many sad people.

I chose not to be.
My life has been pure joy to me.

Why?
Do others see gloom?
Similar to many complaints about the rain.

Eventually, gloom and storm fade.
And sadness will turn into a smile.

So this is why?
You always see me, with a smile.
jeffrey conyers Sep 2021
Men, with many?
What?
Are you bragging about?

Really, what?

Good chance your kid or kids was is with the mother.
When you were out creating another?

And here you proclaiming to be a great dad.

And I will admit, there a few with various kids by many lovers

Now, put the shoe on the other foot?
Some men just couldn't do it.

With all kids within your grasp.
And you must get them to various places.
Getting them to school, to the doctors.

While your former lover/wife/spouse is free to roam.
And you with all the responsibilities of raising them.

So respect that woman.
The one many clowns call baby mama.
When in truth?
'She should be call the mother of your child.

So what?
Are you bragging about?

Everywhere
jeffrey conyers Sep 2021
You be the cloud.

We will share our love.

The Eyes To My Soul
jeffrey conyers Sep 2021
You want to read me.
Know all about me.
Like my smile look me in the face and see the eyes to my soul.

Upfront, direct and real, my eyes have a lot to reveal.

If in the mood?
Read my eyes.
Read my smile.

Then you can't read the eyes to my soul.

There is no pretense to be seen.
I'm all about reality.

Crime In My Heart
jeffrey conyers Sep 2021
Crime in my heart.
Cause I've b been robbed.

Robbed of an emotion that once was yours.
Now, here you are walking out the door.

And none of our friends.
And they all have advice and opinion.

But what they don't see?

And I'm serving time.

Then there were many cold ones.

Remember that.
Whenever I am mention before someone?

Mindset
jeffrey conyers Sep 2021
You got the power and the racism.
We got the strength and the courage.

You got the intimidation factor.
We got the standup to cowards mentality.

So once that was?
Isn't now.
The ones you try to intimidate aren't backing down.

They got the power and strength to turn your hatred around.
Pay attention to those thinking they are better?
Because you will find it just isn't true.

Don't let their mindest fool you.

Who's The Devil?
jeffrey conyers Sep 2021
In church, that house of salvation.
Makes, you wonder?
Who's the devil?

We hear talk about the demons.
Words on the sinners.
But who's the devil?

Obviously, some leading the flock seems more lost than saved.

You Cry and Complain
jeffrey conyers Sep 2021
You committed the crime.
From behind cell doors walls, you cry and complain.
Now, you trying to fight for your freedom.

Which you obviously had before your criminal behavior got in the way.

What?
To join a gang you must commit a crime?
Are they hiring your lawyers?
And if parents are these fools taking care of your son or daughter.

What about the victims?
The one you *****, robbed, ******, or stole money from.

You committed a crime.
And upset that justice came to you.
Now, you're fighting for your freedom and upset.


All because justice was served.

Now, to the innocent sitting behind the walls.
Your plight lies solely on the prosecuting attorney trying to make a name.

In later cases, we see them become governors, mayors, and blackout knowledge-wise.
When told of their injustice?

But for the guilty accept your time.
Not one, was you trying to use your mind.

Women and Clowns
jeffrey conyers Sep 2021
Women and clowns, they can easily be found.
Then when exposed?
You realize she was the fool too?
Thinking in haste that a clown, without a job, won't continue to use you.

Similar, to men with a lover that's a trick.
She becomes one of the greatest magicians.
When he comes to reality and sees her love for him was built solely around his fantasy.

Act Accordingly
jeffrey conyers Sep 2021
Act accordingly, we hear in church.
But kids will be kids, especially during a long, long service.
Adults, do too.

Some, say the church is just about money.
Then that's no totally true.
Although, some loves to request extra loot.

And love to preach a certain scripture too.

Would a man rob God?
Well, they probably would rob us.
Words, states let God handle your enemies.

Act accordingly, is great to say.
But in truth, we act in the church around those we despise.
I guess the church is all about wearing our disguises.
To act accordingly.
Sep 2021 · 91
Just Accept It

Until love is gone.
You're gonna be loved.
To the point, you will enjoy my warm embraces.

Happiness will constantly be shown upon our faces.
That, yes, friends will eventually be jealous.
But when asked why you're smiling?
They will be able to trace it.

So until you are gone.
You're gonna be loved.
Maybe, some famous or unknown author will write about us.

And even that, if made into a movie will never be able to capture us.

Why Is It?
jeffrey conyers Sep 2021
Why is it?
When sick?
People, so kind and polite?
Why is it?

Especially, when you're a child and unselfish love e flow freely?
Cake, ice cream, snacks you can't get healthy is freely given.

Why is it?

Especially, when you're an adult?
And your significant one loves to tempt, tease on what you're missing out on?

Why is it?
Sep 2021 · 85
Just Remember
jeffrey conyers Sep 2021
I gave you love.
More than anyone I ever loved.

And you misused it and abused it.
And, now willingly admit it.
While requesting one more chance.

You must think I have fool written on my forehead.

Others, say take one more chance.
You might have realized I gave you true romance.

But I remember the hurt more than anything.
Friends, don't ever want to address that type of pain.

Wisdom comes in various ways.
And mine is operating totally on going forth without you.
Just remember, you made your choice.

Labor Day?
Really?
We labor some works every day.
So why have off on Labor Day?

What?
We seriously need in this hectic world, is a love holiday.
We are very aware hate keeps getting in the way.

We notice around Thanksgiving and Christmas?
How kindness of self is shown?

So we need a loved holiday.
If truly bring a change?

Once Fired
jeffrey conyers Sep 2021
Once fired, no rehired.
I refuse to be your return to comfort.
After the one, you chased dumped you.

Your benefit has been redeemed.
You're no longer a part of this forever-together train.

And to think, you were the first thing daily upon my brain.
But unlike those songs of hurtful men walking in the rain to cover their hurt and sadness.

I just tell you, once fired, there's no rehire.
Sep 2021 · 245
Just Me

Just me, alone.
Will make you smile.

That's a part of my humorous self.

But for now, it's just us, just us and our dreams.

Perfect Man
jeffrey conyers Aug 2021
Where?
Is the perfect man?
He doesn't exist in the scriptures.

Well, he does.
But this isn't about him but things women say.
So where is the perfect man?

There are some good ones but even they are far from perfect and that goes for many dads.

We all far short and that has been from the grace of God and many women love to state they seeking a man that follows after God's heart.

And soon as mistakes are made.
They are shocked, hurt, and disgusted by that perfect man simply being human.

Blame It On The Drinking
jeffrey conyers Aug 2021
You cheat.
Instantly, they blame it on the drinking and not the plotting.

We hear this excuse a lot.
But the memories created aren't forgotten.

You **** someone driving.
Instantly, it's blamed upon the drinking.

Not the carelessness of being an adult.

In truth, it's not the bar or bartender's fault.
