The Stars Burned The Sky,
And Ate Holes Through The Darkness,
They Consumed My Eyes,
Giving Me A Little Hope,
That Beauty Is Still Alive
I'm Sorry I've Been Gone For So Long! Life Can Sure Get Busy! I'm Also Sorry That This Poem Is Not Very Good :/ I Am In The Airport Awaiting My Departure To Atlanta, And Then On To Johannasburg, South Africa. I Thought I Should Write One Poem, Even Though I Have No Inspiration.. Have A Great Day!

It rains heavily...
Roofs leaking, water seeping

Bless'd against my will...
As the tropical storms rage

Causing chaotic...
Rattled windows, doors and gates

All over the house...
Creating theatrical effects

As lightning flashes...
And thunder follows behind

Children play outside...
Trivializing the weather

A good one for sleep...
Except for the leaking roofs

New holes emerging...
Brings to mind a nursery rhyme,

"Rain, rain go away,
Come again another day"


Back then reasons were...
"Little children want to play"

I can't help but sigh!
With the aftermath in view...

Soaked beds, sheets and drapes...
Smelly rugs for days to come

Wrecked roofs and ceilings...
Flooded streets mixed with sewage.

Showers of blessings indeed!

Inspired by the unbearable living conditions of the poor in the slums of Nigeria. My heart bleeds at the indifferent attitude of the government and the elite class.

when all your sorries blur together
they almost sound
sincere
The gun that's pointed at my head
Loaded with bullets of blame
Your ammunition of self-service
I know that I'm never around
Closed doors on my doings
And clipped winged words
I know that look
Pools of discontent
And loneliness
I know I'm the cause
And I'm sorry
Guilt is the worst kind of sickness
And my finger is infected
So it is more than able to the pull the trigger
On my wasted youth

Yin or yang?
I have not always been both and neither
once, I was yin- dark,
within,
under,
intuitive-
I am now yang,
and every time I think of a color I
think of gold and white,
and my eyes reach towards the heavens
like it's a prize just for me
and I am supposed to be there
I draw wings on my paper
and remember having them-
not sure when.
I do not love myself because I am
special, or worthy,
or because I think I am capable on my own,
but the Father of the whole universe is my own Father,
for He makes me sacred with His presence,
and showers me with love-
how can I help but love myself?
There is God in me!
My very existence, God has given!

Let's sit on your roof and smoke a cigarette and forget about school the next day, or our parents pressuring us to be better. Stop thinking about growing up, let's stop worrying about what other people think. Just stop and be a teenager

People say they aren't racist and thats a flat out lie
I mean they no longer separate our kind
but they act like color doesn't survive
these people are color blind
they don't admit that I'm  different
and I'm tired of it
people take of your mask
and show your face
we are still people but we are people of a different race
Please comment how you feel on people being 'color blind'

I've always wanted you to expose yourself,
drop the shell,
show who you REALLY are inside-
show it,  just for me,
and I guess maybe I've realized
the shell is who you are.

Alcohol does not agree with my system-
neither do you
but I still love both
