There’s a place printed in the horizon construed with profound love concealed inside of your heart A place where you have never settled your pupils upon A Place where your ears have never discerned the sounds of Your fingers have never felt the silk, the delicacy of every breath taken from the erring lips of humanity A place brighter than the coruscation of stars Shinier than the shimmers reflected from the depth of the soul
Symmetrical
It feels like I'm in a zombie apocalypse; find myself captured and incarcerated in a tempest. As the color of the sky changes I hear of deaths and rages From all people of different ages scared of what the world will bring to them So they forget that the world is their home when they shed blood, like rusty leaves dragged across the streets by the wind I forget that I am a dark room Consumed in silence, devoured by renaissance of hate
Salutes and whistling hoots Upon those calling for destruction The world that our souls abide in isn't one with sound security The large books of recovery sit closely Protected by clowns with crowns on straight hair or conrows I wonder what's its like to be liberty's foe Freedom is woman everyone is dying to have in their lives If it was so much as an illusion then i guess its best that we sustain our "rights" in these times It's hard to find a voice when they've stripped us of our identity from the day we were born Built the best nests of the finest twigs With coatings of racist remarks and destruction's darks
At school we were always told to add white paint to the black Never the black to the white See the notion of white savior pigmented minds, polluted hearts tracing hues of charcoal Now the kids have gone wild color blind and left trapped to choose between black or white then red and blue Gang signs and colored shoes As if the bloods infuse transfusion of life and the crips buy you a pack of chips these kids dont realize that the very pigments are of the same shade, the blood that runs in their arteries Dripping like raindrops suspended from the deepest cut found scarred in their lips Blue, the hue of the sky They wished they knew their own mothers just as well as they knew *******
This is the place you live. It’s a place of recognition A place where your heart never loved A place where pointing fingers never pointed back at yourself A place where you wake up every day smelling the burning of organic coal A place where the drums of your ears scream damaged A place where every print carved into your fingers cry for freedom A place darker than obsidian Darker than the grains of asphalt making up the patterned flesh
Fashioned
The sun wears its mask pretty well As though every day is a masquerade it chooses not to lose the praise it stains in the t – shirts we wear everyday Hear it in the thoughts of our prayers It was always the mind that played in its forceful nature, a couple of shots to make your skin thicker, hands tougher, the teeth of your comb harder to brush of the falling debris in your roots and you still stutter. The relapse of your words,silent screams contained to endevour all its pleasures A heart yet pure in its majesty forever...skin smooth enough to pile a 1000 sins in the gutter T shirt stains, pockets of memories to remember... "Its so hard for anyone to show us how we look and its so hard for us to show anyone how we feel" But its only when we directly stare at the sun, do we see the silhouettes of carelessness
