A lot of energy
is taking up remembering creation
and creating to that memory
nothing new

as you become more
its not the more you were
its the more you choose to become

From the time I took my first breath;
To the time I'll greet my death,
The one that'll be my fraternity,
Is the SOCIETY.

From the time I first used my brain;
To the time I'll be in Alzheimer's chains,
The one that will judge my capacity,
Is the SOCIETY.

From the time I first knew of God;
To the time I know about all the frauds,
The one thing that will be my sanctity,
Is the SOCIETY.


From my colour to my creed,
From my wedding to when I'll breed;
From my career to my passion,
From my shoes to my fashion;


Everything is all about "THEM"
But I ask you reader, who the hell are they?
Its my skirt and hence, I choose the length of its hem!
So, sigh and drink your tea because your interference is NOT OKAY.

You can’t see something is wrong
Or you do see it but chose to ignore it
You don’t ask me what’s wrong
The person you claim you love
But I see you asking people you hardly talk to if they’re ok
So I don’t understand why you can’t do the same for me
Why don’t you chose me

They say

“You don’t choose who you fall in love with”

But I did.
In the end of it
I did
Because I could have chosen
To walk away
Every time you started
To run
But every time
I stood still
I chose you.
And I’m afraid this time
You might be gone for good
And I still choose you.
.
I could have ran too.
I think, in the end, I will still always choose you...

whose do you choose
be made real for you
Zack Ripley Sep 2020
Every day, you make a choice
To stay silent or raise your voice.
And that's your choice, and I respect it.
I just want you to know
That if today, you decide you want
To be a lion
and let people hear you roar,
I'll roar with you until you don't feel alone or broken anymore.

Well It Seems That The Truth...
Is That A LOT of Pursuits...
AREN'T REALLY That Cool... !!!

Like The Pursuit of WEALTH...
ABOVE... Mental Health... !!!

And The Pursuit of FAME...
To Have Yourself Placed...
In A World Full of SNAKES...
Who Have... NO SHAME...
And Are MOSTLY... FAKE... !!!

Because Names In The Game...
DON'T Seem To Play STRAIGHT...

When It Comes To ****...
And Things That... STING...
For Them To Get In...
And Get STINKING Rich... !!!

A Pursuit That STINKS...
... Do You Get The Link... !?!

Because Industry Links...
Seem To Employ Tricks...
As Well As... RACISTS... !!!

And When It Comes To Kids...
Their Tricks Become SICK... !!!

Cos’ Their Pursuit of Them...
Has Caused PROBLEMS...
And Lead To... DEATHS... !!!

Because of The STRESS...
That Affect Young Heads...
When They Are Children... !!!

Because of ABUSES...
That MOGULS Be Using...
That Keep On ABUSING...
Just Like... PAEDOPHILES...
Who DON'T Seem To Stand Trial... !?!

Some Pursuits When Profiled...
Make Some People Act WILD... !!!

Like Those Who See ***...
As Something To GET...
NO MATTER What METHODS...
They Use For... *** Sessions... !?!

Many Are... FOUND...
To Pursue More Than HOUNDS...
With Those BASKERVILLE' Sounds... !!!
The DOC' And SHERLOCK...
PURSUE... Like Them COPS... !!!

Who CHOKE Men To DEATH...
When Their Knees Pressure Necks...
To Their Very LAST BREATH... !!!

Because Their Pursuits Lend...
Themselves To New Trends...
Like Those That NOW MATTER...
When Death Becomes BLACKER...
Than... Racist Attackers... !!!

You See Some Pursuits SHATTER... !!!

And Fuel PRETTY CHATTER...
That Pursues A New Chapter...
Where Black Folks Aren’t Left...
By Policemen For DEAD... !!!

You See This Poetry...
Is One That Yes Deals...
In..... REALITY.....

NOT... Pursuing POWER...
Like Those Who Now COWER...
In Bunkers Like Trumpers...
of... IGNORANT Numbers...

My Pursuit NEVER Slumbers...
Or... Pursues Those HUMMERS...
Like Suckers Now DUMBER...
Than Dumber And Dumber... !?!

It’s Really A WONDER...
Why People Pursue...
And... Do What They Do... ?!?

To IMPRESS... Be WELL DRESSED...
And Pursue What’s WORTHLESS... !?!

“It’s All Relative...”

Is What Some Would Suggest...

However To BETTER Your MIND...
... Is The Type...
of Pursuit I Now Like... !!!

Cos To Tell Y’all The TRUTH...
I’m TIRED of LIFE...
And Pursuing A Wife...
Good Times And Good Vibes...

Cos This Life’s Given PROOF... !!!
That It’s Best To Be SHREWD...

And To NOT Get TOO Cute...
When It Comes To The Moves...
You Pull To Be... “ COOL “...

It’s Like Pulling A Tooth... !!!

You Must Go To The ROOT...
of What Lies WITHIN YOU... !!!!!

So Be CAREFUL What You Choose...
And Be... WISE And ASTUTE...

When It... Comes Down To.....

....... “ What You Pursue “......
So many things that people pursue in life, but as the saying goes, sometimes, curiosity may well just **** the cat.........

Caught within
the cot I built
to slaughter
all the goals that fit

A miasma, thick
with success and stress
in growth, the wisest
call duress

on my throne
sits the black honed axe
seething at my fauna,
as I contemplate their imminent trauma

I'd rather watch them grow
as steel plummets to their throats
augmenting my flock of ghosts
enclosing the lonesome cot and throne
Mental duress, old and new.

We create ourselves through our thoughts, words and deeds
We have choice in every given moment
Choice to look forward with hope or fear
Or to the past with its demons
Choice to choose the right path to enlightenment
Or the slippery ***** to hell,
Choose wisely
Love
Or
Fear
What choose you?
SiouxF Sep 2020
Regrets.
Such a wasted emotion
For what can you do
About what is past.
Certainly you can choose to examine what happened
But objectively
In terms of cause and reaction
Explore what was said and done that led to x, y, z,
That way you can stop repeating
Your sins  
And choose a different path
A healthier way
For you
For me
For the universe
