How could I want the art of poetry to be dominantly white and male?
There's way too female poets of color and white female poets that ate much better than I
I couldn't live peacefully in the old days with that being apparent
My intentions are transparent
I think women are better with their words
I'm just an intimidator I feel
But it only takes one for these lines to congeal
Art is a three course meal
And it should not be overlooked
She fills up my stadiums and gets them overbooked
How could I want poetry to be white and male?
The elitist mindset is *******
There's far too many female poets who deserve a trophy of gold
And their hearts to heal.
And there's also too many male poets who don't deserve the image of elitism.

Betrayal
Traveler May 2021
Dear Betrayal
You’ve always been near
You limited loving
Intimidator...

You lured me in
Your deceitful web
Moths of time
Dried up dread

I don’t take it personally
The action of wrong
I never assumed
You meant to stay long

The waters shall wash
And so soon we shall see
The truths that uphold
Our inventories

Dear Betrayal
I forgive you
I wish you the best
And so I shall sleep on
Straight through your mess!

Oh, the sadness of certain communities when folks speak.
They talk about violence weeks after weeks.
Without accepting they control the narrative.

Quit defending that infamous son/daughter doing wrong.
The gang members that think they belong.
One of the biggest intimidator factors in the community.
And it's not to be level at the cops.

When you a participator in the level of crimes.
Oh, folks don't like to bring companies to this area.
Why?
When thugs stealing and looting and you remain quiet.
Just waiting to buy it.

Upgrade your community starts with you.
We, all aware of the fools that loves being down.
Afraid to accept responsibility to turn things around.
