Ya Know ...
These Days I'm Getting ... BETTER ...
When It Comes To Using Letters ... !!!

Letters From The Alphabet That I NOW Select ...
To Wage VENDETTAS On IGNORANT Fellas ...

Through My Poems ...

Like THOSE Whose Agendas Incorporate Cellars ...
And ****** Men Just Like ... " Marcellus " ... !!!!!!

Now V's For ... " VIRGE " ...
And The Beginnings of Verse ...
That CLEARLY HURTS ****** PERVERTS ... !!!!!

Or THOSE MUCH WORSE Who USE The CHURCH ... !?!
To Cover And CONVERT Their Acts of DIRT ... !!!!!!!

Into CONFESSIONS In ... " PRIVATE Sessions " ... !?!

BETTER Known As COVERT... So it's BETTER NOT To Trust ...
Individuals Whose Residuals Resemble ... " COVER UPS " ... !!!!

The Type That Result In LOSS of Blood ... !!!!!!!!!
Whether On Foreign Shores Or In Local Street Wars ... !!!

You'd BETTER BEWARE of Heads PREPARED ...
To Walk With TOOLS And Act The Fool ... !!!

Because Their MOODS Are Far From .................. Cool ... !!!
When They Choose To INFUSE ABUSIVE Attitudes ... !!!!!!!!

Are You BETTER Than THEM Or ... Is That YOU ... !?!

An IGNORANT Being Who Causes PROBLEMS ...
And Leaves Folks ... SEETHING ... !!!
To SEE YOU BLEEDING And Taking LAST BREATHS ... !!!!!!

Right NOW I'm Better Than Being VIOLENT ...
But When I'm ................................. " Silent " ..........

It Means My INNER TYRANT Wants To Be An UPSETTER ...
But I'm BETTER Than The Guys And Deceitful Wives ...

Who Live Such ... " CONTRIVED LIVES " ... !?!

Like Those FILLED With Opinions ...
SKEWED By Their RELIGION ... !!!

Those Talkin' Bout' ... " They Human " ...
When Their RELIGION'S Vision ...
IS What DEFINES ... " ***-is-ion " ... ?!?!?

" Muslim, Jew or Christian ... "

It's CLEAR They DON'T Be THINKING ...

Than Those Like SEPARATISM ... !!!!!!!

WHOSE Book Is ... " TRUTH " ... ?!?
Whose GOD IS ...... " Good " ...... ?!?
Whose Religion's Confused ...
By ... DIVISIVE Crews .... !???!

It's BETTER To Me ...
To Be A SPIRITUAL Being ... !!!
Whose Spirit Is ... FREE ....................................

And SEES NO COLOUR And NO CREED ........ !!!!!

But Wants To See A Time of Peace And Unity ...
For THIS THING HERE ... HUMANITY ... !!!

Something These ... " Factions " ...
DON'T Wanna See Happen ... ?!?

THAT DOESN'T Seem Right ... !?!
So I Wonder ... WHY ... ???
From Women to Guys ...

I'm Just BETTER Than BITTER And REALITY's STING ... !!!

In MY Writings...
There Are NO KILLINGS Or LOVE For ... " Bling " ...

I LOVE ... The TRUTH ... !!!

When It's Used To Move And ELEVATE Moods ...
From Trying To Prove Who's BETTER Than Who ... ?!?

Am I BETTER Than ... YOU ... ?

This Piece Is Called ... " BETTER " ...
So SHARES Some Views That Now Consume ...
My Rhyme FILLED Moods Through Use of Letters ...

NO MORE NO LESS So WATCH YOUR STEP ... !!!
BEFORE You Attempt To JUDGE And Suggest ...

... "I'm An Arrogant Head !" ...

Arrogant YEAH ... Sometimes I Guess ... ?
But NOT ... ALL The Time ... !!!!

So DON'T You Try To CRITICISE Me ... !!!
Because I Deal In HONESTY Within My Speech ...

About UPSETTERS And IGNORANT Fellas ... !!!!!!!

Brandishing ...... " TERROR " ...... !!!!!!!!

I'm Measured With The Letters ...
That I Now Write And TREASURE ... !!!!!

Cos' They Are HOT Like PEPPER ...
When I Put Them Together ... !!!!!!!!!!!

That Virges' Words Are CENTRED ... !!!
To DENY What's TRITE So That What I Write ...
Could Be Defined As Being WELL DESIGNED ...

And One MORE Word ... YES ...

............ " BETTER " ............
There's no harm in a lil' self praise, from time to time ....

I’ve seen in many different shades
Painted from a plethora of palettes
Worn glasses that changed my world
That obscured my vision at night
And worn the wrong prescription some days
I’ve worn rose colored lenses
Far more than I’d like to admit
Ignored signs directly in my line of sight
Because I didn’t want to see it for what it truly is
I also have a bad habit
Of seeing things in black and white
Seeing things from only two sides
I forget about the gray areas
And the entire color spectrum
Decide if things aren’t going perfect
Then they must be on the verge of falling apart at any moment
I jump from one extreme to the next
From black to white and back again
I have to remind myself to take a deep breath
Step back
And admire the range
That life is actually a rainbow
Bright and spectacular
But also sometimes dark and brooding
And that it’s all apart of living
It’s all just as necessary
You have to observe the entire canvas
To really admire, fully, the masterpiece

everytime I saw your face,
I thought I saw beauty and grace.
You put a spell on me
and made me think I was in a better place.  
I thought I needed you, but suddenly, it's so clear to see. All I need is me.

The diffused gleam of jaded dreams
like a siren call upon our desires deep
to sink again in their harrowed streams.

We walk on towards better things
trailing the hummingbird of hope.
Onward, intrepid on rainbow wings.

We live to die another day and begin
with a fated end. Till then we spend
our hours fueling the fire held within.

Why settle for being the fallen fruit
when we can sprout, lush and green?
Again, we will grow; we will take root.
NaPoWriMo Day 29
Poetry form: Tercet
Sinking to the ground,
With the surface turning wet,
I quickly found myself weeping,
Just moments before,
You questioned our compatibility,
You questioned how fragile our love is,
You suggested me finding someone better,
You suggested me to move on,
But it became clear,
You were questioning your strength,
You were questioning your heart,
You were questioning yourself for me,
I wiped off the tears,
Gathering all the strength,
Boosting up my trust for you,
I stood up,
Running towards you like crazy,
My eyes seeking your presence,
It is not over,
Not yet.
People will forget
what you said,
People will forget
what you did,
But people will never forget
how you made them feel.
-Maya Angelou

The things you have said,
I can't just forget.
The things you have said,
aren't forgivable.

You thought you were fine,
somethings you don't just get.
You thought you were fine,
but you weren't able.

Those words really hurt,
badly mentaly.
Those words really hurt,
piercing through my soul.

You aren't forgivine,
I accept gratefuly.
You aren't forgivine,
but what was your goal.

You had problems,
you couldn't control.
You had problems,
but its sill hurting.

You've gotten better,
still I have a hole.
You've gotten better,
but I'm still alert.
To someone who started it all. . . . my amazing, digusting, and endless mountain of mental health.

"What are you doing
to better the world?
What value do you bring to society?"
"Those are not the right questions."
"Why not?
They're questions everyone asks."
"Maybe so. But they're meaningless if you can't answer another one first."
"Which is?"
"The right question is "what are you doing to better yourself?"
If you can't find value in yourself, if you don't think you're the best you can be, you can't be ready to better the world.

He looked better in a mask than I did without.
‘The World Health Organization (WHO) is considering changing its guidance on whether people should wear face masks in public, prompted by new evidence that suggests doing so could help contain the pandemic.’
- Hannah Devlin and Denis Campbell

Looking through my drafts I found this micro - an unusable remnant from a longer piece about keeping up appearances. A word written without a second thought to connote pretence or disguise, now gives me reason to pause. To mask, or not to mask, that is the question. :§
