"Dawn"
I wonder where the prayers went...after years spent sitting in the darkness looking for a change that never came...it never came...and...
Where Is My Diamoonnnd!!!!???
All I Have is coal...
And why....
Why can't I have 3 wishes at least?...
Because change never came...it never came...
Only the Storm remained.
But when being present was a requirement, there transpired a lucid calm...
Mmm...
If only it could be grasped like bed sheets the night the Storm was conceived...
Oh I wish those knees could have been broken!!!...
So they wouldn't have opened to receive...seed...or conceive...
Forgive me..
I pray for a mime to be a fly on the wall of these thoughts!!
I pray the clouds part so the sun can shine and you find rest..
Because....  
Everything's better when you are asleep...
Suffering through your Own nightmares...
What happened to the maternal instinct purposed to protect you, nurture you to a point of functionality?
Is there such thing as functional with you?...
Or
Did you wear out your place of origin to where you're no longer sought for or welcomed?
Was it a joy to desert such a never ending storm?
Is there no remorse?
Not for your abandonment...but for society...
No thought for the trail of derailed strangers who will never forget the name of the tornadic soul who impacted them tragically...?
Tragic....
Your calms last long enough to fall in love with the beauty in between..and it is so beautiful.
But...
Not long enough to prepare for your next season...and...
Why.....
Why won't you learn to warn your lovers?
So they may brace for...
Dawn...
Oh...
But...wait...
Look...
The sun...
The sun is coming...
The heavens still love me...
So...
Since the sun is out,
I love you...
Sweet dreams.
~Say Dat~
This is dedicated to those who have suffered emotional abuse....

End of it all

End of it all?

The end of it all

What end of it all!?

The man had a fall!
That end of it all

The man had a fall?
What man had a fall?

The man down the hall
That man had a fall

The man down the hall?
What man down the hall?

The man down the hall
Who works at the mall
He was an oddball
The man had a fall
Down there he is sprawled

Down there he is sprawled
Down where is he sprawled?

Down where is he sprawled?
At the end of the hall
The end with the stairs
as i recall

Oh that man down the hall
He WAS an oddball
...Oh ****! The man's had a fall!!!
Have the police been called?
read as quick as you can :)

Truly, an amazing species.

We met on a random moonless night
People and their laughter
by the beach
Waves mutely crashing
You were dancing with somebody I knew
Dancing out of tune
What a sight that was.

And here you are
The strongest foundation
my soul shivers at your sound
my mornings, evening and night
my comfort zone
my existence revolving around you

You called it friendship
I had other names
Your walls couldn’t keep my feelings away
I saw what you wanted me to see
I read what you wanted me to read
I wish you felt what I wanted you to feel
But I trudged along
Alone, in my feelings

Today I stand in this void
Without you
I have your number
You have mine
But today, only the silence is talking
Words have turned away

And now I wonder
If you struggle too
What if society has pinned you down
If you have given in and moved on
I wish I could have one last conversation
To tell you
How I’ve moved on
To know
Why you’ve moved on

There are five stages of grief
And after grief comes rebirth
I can enjoy the rain now
The birds and the clouds make me smile
I'm not scared to go to the beach
I can hope, I can dream
I can love
I can be,
Happier with just me.

But it's all crazy, all this neo-fascist **** lately.
I guess populism's got a catchy rhythm,
if your lazy,
then it's so much harder to love me or debate me
than hate me.
Now, let's dispose of this safely: you're racist

because either your daddy was too
or you're manipulated by falsehoods masquerading as news
but it's true, now even I'm getting confused,
but ask, who the **** wins? because you AND the immigrant lose.

This ****'s got polemic, pulled by extremist views,
taking the meanest cues,
we contravene abuse, on the daily.
It's all so ****** up lately.
I guess it's so much harder to love me than hate me.

Then, the wicked beat breaks & it all flies apart
leaving my rhyming heart to aim and find it's mark -
it's my one sight of light in the deepest dark
'n' if ya hold to me now, we just need a spark.


The day will come, I'll be called crazy, man,
feeling like I'm William Blake's Grain of Sand,
Eternity in an hour, in the palm of my hand,
I see the white ******* walls in the back of the van.

We'll be nabbed from the streets, it's the master's plan,
'til all that's left is sheep, the rest bottled and canned,
then, they'll sit inside their keep, every gun-post manned,
their delight, so sweet, never to understand:

Heaven in a wildflower or the Endless Night,
a reason to die or a reason to fight.
In their sweet delight they won't see the light,
But in the Endless Night, you & me just might

because each glimmer shines out in the darkest depth,
as Blake writes revenge from the realms of Death,
those protected on high, Nations that sell & buy,
can all be blown out by a baby's breath.
idiosyncratic political rap - read it out loud and feel the fire.
Tuffy Mutombo Mar 2020
We are all addicts of peace and when we don't have it, we panic flip.
Let's remember these days when salaries didn't separate us.
As we enter a state of emergency.
Can't you see, this is not where we supposed to be.  
Death does not discriminate, who knew a virus would be what brought people together.
Celebrities sharing salaries as the hungry and homeless getting fed.
Schools closing as we ordered to stay inside.
Fear of close company.
They call it social distancing, that's far from reality.
Stock market crashes as millions of bible verses posted on social media sites, airlines canceling flights.
No entertainment tonight.
Fear of getting infected as the government orders 8 billion people to wash their hands, but still, we live in a ***** word, full of government fear, jealousy, and greed.
Doctors and nurses sacrifice their lives to honor their professions. Oh my, what a deep revelation.  
Hard times don't last, tough people, do.
Its what you do when your back is against the wall, that shows the real you.
I pray you find peace in times of tribulations.
When its all said and done I hope we don't revert back to our old ways of segregation and true form of social distancing.

Madami na akong nabasang libro
Ngunit ikaw parin ang hinahanap kong kwento na nais balik balikan
Na hindi magsasawang basahin muli
Mga pahinang ikaw lamang nagbigay sa mga labi ko ng ngiti.

Bawat kabanata nitong libro bawat pagbasa ko ng mga pahina, pinapangiti mo ako muli,
Na para bang andiyan ka lang sa aking tabi.
Pinapa ulan mo ang aking mga mata tuwing....
binabasa ko ang kahapon.

doon ko lang natuklasan na kaya ko palang magmahal ng tapat sa mundong ibabaw na puro kalokohan lang ang inaatupag ko.

Hindi ka ba masaya? Na binabalik balikan ko ang  hindi makatotohanang kwento,
Na hanggang pahina at kabanata nalamang sila magiging totoo.

Masakit, pero kailangan natin tanggapin, ako, ako lang pala, ika'y lumisan na
Napunta ka na sa ibang pahina
Ako, ako andito pa
Iniwan mo sa alaala nating dalawa

Pwede ba magsabi ng totoo?
Kahit na sobrang gulo,
sasabihin ko sayo
Ikaw ang nag-iisang tahanan ng naliligaw kong pagkatao.

Etong mga pahina... nagiwan ng bakas sa puso kong bukas
Na inalay ko sayo gamit pa ang aking mga kamay na kitang kita ang bakas,
Bakas ng kahapon na sinaktan ako
Sinugatan ako ng taong minahal ko
Na pinalitan lamang ng saksak sa puso.

Itong mga pahina't kabanata
Na nagpapakita
Na mahal parin kita
Subalit nasa ibang libro ka na.

Alam kong tapos na
Wala nang tyansa
Kaya't ibabalik nalamang kita
Sa aking istante
Na madaling hanapin
Kapag nais ko muling basahin
Ang kahapon na sinulat natin.

Mga pahinang babalik balikan,
Mga kabanatang hindi makakalimutan,
Librong tayong dalawa na ako nalamang
Ang gagawa ng paraan para protektahan
Konting comeback lang sa tagalog. Spoken word poetry talaga siya pero nahihiya ako magsalita kaya hanggang dito lang hahaha.
Euphrosyne Mar 2020
Mahal, pasensya.
Alam kong galit ka
Ngunit sana'y pakinggan mo ito
Kahit mainit ang dugo mo sa akin
Ako'y nananalangin na mabasa mo ito
Dahil gusto kong humingi ng pasensya
Pasensya dahil nasaktan kita
Hindi ko pinakinggan ang sagot mo
Sa araw na iyon
Kung kailan pinaka kailangan kita
Mga salitang walang kapantay
Mga salita **** walang arte
Lahat sila diretso
Mas diretso pa sa
Pagsasalita ko
Pasensya dahil natagalan ka
Hindi ko naman sinasadya lahat ng ito
Ayoko lang masaktan ka
Ng ibang tao
Dahil mas masakit ang salita
Kesa sa mga gawa
Ngayon pasensya
Mahal
Sana'y tanggapin mo
Dahil ito nalang ang alam kong
Daan para masabi ko
Lahat ng nararamdaman ko saiyo
Dahil ako'y
Nauutal at kinakabahan
Sa tuwing kausap kita
Para bang may mawawala
Sa buhay ko
Sa kada salitang
Sasabihin ko.
Kaya mahal ko pasensya
Mahina ang loob ko
Subalit malakas naman yung
Nararamdaman ko para sayo
At doon ka sana'y
Maniwala.
Mahal, pasensya.
Spoken word poetry about a girl that I truly love.
