As you

to whats not going well

you remain
a co operative creative component
to that very expression of reality

Now My Poetic Lessons...
Are A Form of Expression...

Like... “ Song or Prose “...
Or... “ Theatrical Shows “...

They Reflect My Vision...
of The World That We Live In...

So WON’T ALWAYS Be RIGHT...
Or... ALWAYS Be WRONG...

But WILL ALWAYS Be STRONG... !!!

And Hit Like A ****...
If You Live Your Life...
Just Expressing PURE LIES... !!!

So Why Oh Why Do So Many EXPRESS...
What Is... PURE NONSENSE... ?!!!?

Fictional Vibes And Imaginary Sights...
To Escape What's...... TRUE......
And Embrace What's FAKE... ?!?

Like... Modern Day News...
People Read EVERYDAY... !!!!

Where Expression RUNS LOOSE..................
Because It's Made By TOOLS... !!!

Tools of The Trade...
Where Expression Is A Game...
That's Used To Confuse …
And Bemuse Lame Brains …

I Choose To REFRAIN...
From Expression That's...

...... " MADE "......

Manufactured Or Displayed...
To Impress And Maintain...
The Ol'... Same ol' Same... !!!!

Expression That's Weak...
And Dumbed Down For The Sheep...

Who... Choose To FEED...
On Talk That DECEIVES... ?!?

And Music That's... “ Sweet  “...
That DENIES  .... REALITY... !?!

And These FREAKY Movies...
That Are CRASS And CHEAP... !!!!!!

Forms of Expression...
Like Being.... “ Funny “....

AREN’T So Funny To Me...
When They're Made For Dummies...
Who'll Sit And Laugh At These Silly Comedies... !!!

Well From What I SEE...
The Best Forms of Comedy...
Are Born From... REALITY... !!!!!

Like The Things That We See...
That TRULY SHOW How People BE... !!!

From Basil Fawlty.....
To The Good Times Family...

Expressions That Are REAL...
Are Those That People FEEL...

Sadness Joy And Laughter...
Like Love Felt From A Father...
Or YES A Mothers' Love...
That's Given To Her Son... !!!

An Expression of Much More... !!!
Than Those That Get AWARDS... !!!

Expression Like The FORCE...
When Used Can Be A Source...

of …
POWER STRENGTH And BALANCE... !!!

That Feels Just Like A Shower...
That POURS Just Like.... “ Star Wars “... !!!

Garnering APPLAUSE...
And People Wanting MORE... !!!

But …..
DON’T Get It Confused...
Expressions Move Like Moods...

From Muddy Waters Blues...
To Sherlock And His Clues...

Expression Like A Muse...
Can Be Something That FUELS... !!!

Creative Things In YOU  ...
A Stimuli That FLIES... !!!!!!!

Just Like These Rhymes I Write... !!!
That Drift From... DARKER KNIGHTS...

To STARS Up In The Sky...
That Signify A Time...
To Let Expression SHINE... !!!!
In Poems That I Write...

That … My Minds Eye  ....
Now … “ Designs “.... !!!!

That Require NO Studio Sessions...
Compression Or Investment...

Because They ARE...
.... INVALUABLE Lessons.... !!!

From Poetic Lines...
To... " Hollywood Lights "... !!!

To... Artistry...
That Reflects Our Lives....

It Truly Is A BLESSING...
To Be Adept And Skilled.......

In........

..... " The Art of Expression ".....
A beautiful thing, when used as the poem suggests....

What good is unity if you don’t see u in it?
What good is success if others can’t get it ? What good is peace if a whole race can’t enjoy it?
What good is love if others have never felt it?
What good is your voice if it stays silent
when the world needs to hear it?
I see the whole world lacks class like it’s facing truancy.
Blinded to its pain while sleeping with hypocrisy.
Birthing anger, while aborting empathy.
We really need transparency
People would rather be politically correct, than sit and listen to solutions.
So they hide behind laws, and ignore the pain.  
They won’t take time to get to the root of the trauma, years of unpaid labor, and endless torture. Victims of a broken law system cry louder, protest until their feet get blisters, but still won’t get a word from their leader. A first world country treating others as third world citizens.
Getting to the root of the problem would mean they would have to listen and face their demons.
So to ease their pain they hide behind their ignorance, and false traditions. It’s easy to judge what they don’t understand, point fingers and blame others, lack human decency, just to see what they want to see!!!

Cold, like the spring breeze
I laugh that you can see it
My sullen smile
Call it what you will.

Whisper not
so the deaf can hear

roar as a lion
to the ear of the desert

I dive into the pool of emotions,
Scavenging for expressions.
Hunting them haunting thoughts,
Plucking out the ripe ones
Pouring everything into a vessel,
I Shake, stir & muddle.
Finally, i serve thee,
The soul cocktail.
I feel like poetry is a soul served like a dish.
Different people prepare it in different styles.
Different people prefer it in different styles.
Here i how i prepare my poetry.
Three simple ingredients,
Soul, emotion and expression.
Today i was in the mood for some cocktails.

I could be the Next victim
Neck pressed on
as I smell the rubber of a cops tires
Forced to kiss the ground I walked on
As he expresses his power
He overdosed on anger  
A power trip with no sense of human decency
As he presses on my neck I start yelling “I can’t breath” !!!!!!
Me saying I can’t breath seems to be the words that comfort his heart, stroke his ego as he won’t let go
Like countless others he made it his duty to send me to my maker, to rid the world of my existence
Choking every ounce of air in my body
As he claims to protect and serve
Protecting his future and serving his needs
I just happened to be in the way of his agenda
Diabolical mindsets fornicate with his views
He births opinions of being the superior race
Encouraged by the media
He seeks to honor the heritage of his ancestors
Old time slave owners, it’s in his blood
A passage of hate, passed down to him by ignorant minds, he educates himself and his children, teaching hate no compassion, seek to **** with no solution,

What hurts the most is witnessing good cops sit in silence, muted in solidarity, silenced by unity
Standing and watching
for 8 minutes & 46 seconds
Let that sink in!!!!
Clock ticks as they result to their old antics
No accountability for their immoral actions
Which encourages them to keep killing and suffocating those with darker pigmentation

I could be the next victim, being black makes me a target, makes me a mark, makes me a reason for the graveyard never to remain empty
We all die, (I get that)
But he seeks to invite death to come meet me early

I could be the next victim
So before I become the next victim
I will fight and pursue justice
I will protest until my unborn child tastes freedom
I will honor my ancestors by my action
Resilient mindset, and dedication to create a better generation of leaders, supply love in a world where my worth is determined by my skin tone,
in this fight I know I am not alone
Looking at this crowd
I know we are together strong!!!
As we fight for my ancestors  
Their cries echo deep in our souls
Rooted deep in our veins is their pain  

I will know my rights, raise my voice, scratch and claw for equality, Until it becomes my reality
For 400 years of innocent blood is enough
Our voices can not be muted if we speak as one
Vote as one, fight as one, seek change and hold those in power accountable on all levels as one

I could be the next victim
but before I am next
I will ask justice to do its job and protect my last breath and heart beat

Please don’t let me become the next victim

it creeps in silence
and sets itself deep inside.

the progress made
vanishes with heavy sigh.

tranced
you wish to explain,
how and why-

"what happened" when asked,
you race through to form
a well constructed speech of lie.

reflecting your thoughts.
pieces and bits
searching for a non existing
