After  years  of  you  giving me the silent treatment                                                                                                  if  no  one  calls  I  think  it's because  of a disagreement                                                                                  Because  of  your consistent  lack  of communication                                                                      sometimes  when  I talk, I forget people are listening                                                                 Convinced I am never enough or  I'm too  much                                                                                                        I overdo for others in hopes of earning their love                                                                                                                  Under your  sense of grandiose entitlement                                                                                                            I've  put myself last and under your judgement                                                                                                            With persistent efforts to  disrespect me                                                                                                                          I  over explain and apologize habitually                                          I've  accepted bread crumbs of your affection                                                                                                     a love  concocted of toxin and poisonous venom

Repeat Cycle Again
If you have come to seek Only consent & acceptance, You will be poorly received And denied at the entrance. You come only to take What you think you are entitled to, As though it were not valuable And as if it were freely offered. In what you ask There is no promise of reciprocation, No hint that you will be grateful. In your hunger for it, The only guarantee Is that you will want more. You share no contentment, No happy acts or jovial gestures. The best thing for all of us Is to deny you of our goodwill, Perhaps it will cause you To grow up And be more mature. If not, It will at least mean the stability & security Of our happiness & freedom.

The Whether In Drama
This turkey pardon is nonsense, Clearly symbolic. But people seem to No longer grasp the extent To which that symbolism goes. The gobblers which we free, Where do they go? To live out their lives in solitude On a quiet reserve. The rest? Well, we just put them to death Enshrined in a yearly ritual slaughter. Nothing like that situation of the natives When we boil off all the water.. And you may say, "You think of it too much, Sign to it too much importance." But I say you think too little And too small. You think of all the easements As entitlements And not ones which we took Through invasion and subjugation.

Would you get a load of this priick... Entitlement punk crybaby excrement In mom's basement Everyday Trying to **** his own wick No *********** with a chick Mildly pathetic Still Stream it to the public Embarrassment is gonna hit Shoulda quit To late Now this is what you get Find blame and aim it Control the topic "It ain't me" ...so it must be women's empowerment? Assuming you never knew what rhetorical meant You can't know that wasn't I'm asking, That's not a statement The angers placement Seems specifically targeted doesn't it Common denominator Looks to be your equipment... ...dip shiit Y'all need Jesus, you're sick ©2024

Upon appearance of an untitled poem with no body in my Drafts <> never have I ever written an untitled poem, nor painted a human sans a head;  arms, legs, o.k., but, but when the purging urging enwraps me at 12:22 in the AM, i cannot birth my babies stillborn, unnamed, forlorn, it’s every breath would be an accusation, of breach, malfeasance, a child nameless, is the worst of all orphans, the poem’s title is its inner essence, a preface, a forward, and epilogue, just as your names is both begin and end, a hint of who you are and from whence you came, and where you are bound to be bound, it is your birth name, and final resting place, a hint of who you we’re, ared destined to become, to be, and to come, an entitlement! ah you curse or bless, thy given name, no longer do you examine it, write it repeatedly, to despise or admire the sounds of it exiting thy mouth, a roomful of teeth and tongue in concert cooperating and conniving, silky hissing your who-you-are-ness, you, who are poem, exist not, cannot be, without your entitlement; ah you pause and say to the sleeping woman who neither hears nor cares, who am I, who I am, and the differences entre deux that are my character yes, a untitled poem is forever unwished, unfinished unwashed? and to eternity, forever lost, unsigned, unconsigned, unfortunate unconsummated

Untitled becomes an entitlement
This elastic band has stretched as far as it possibly can Now is the time to cut the cord Over enough is more than enough It's time for the narcissist to be unveiled Oh bride of Satan For the wolves in sheep's clothing to be called out Your time is up! We've had enough! People are not as stupid as you'd like them to be That spoiled little brat of a child inside is to be silenced for good Singlehandedly you have destroyed your relationships Systematically you have ruined your friendships Over enough is more than enough The true meaning of loneliness you will now encounter Your fragile mask has shattered into pieces The protective cover has blown away   Exposed you will stand Finally everyone will see you for the serpent you truly are No one is buying the lies you have so generously been selling No matter how great a bargain Your mind games and tactics have become stale Over enough is more than enough The reality which awaits you is harsh and bleak From your put on laugh to the fake compliments Both come from the same dark and empty space A bottomless pit of deception in which you lurk   Hollow vase you are Collage of fabricated personalities You model yourself on others But can never hold down one character for too long   Over enough is more than enough Like a blank canvas you are vacant to take on any shape or form You wear a fake smile and your eyes are dead You destroy like a bull, but hurt like a baby Your brain is corroded and your spirit is ill   Your own medicine you will drink It will consume you from the inside out Implode you will Troublemaker and schemer Over enough is more than enough You are driven by your severe deep-rooted insecurity and shame You prey on the empathetic Virtual vampire, always looking for someone to drain You do unto others as you would NOT have done unto yourself A conscience you were born without   Quick to quote a scripture or two But slow in applying it to yourself And even the devil knows the score Over enough is more than enough Your condescending eyes will be plucked out by a ruthless crow You will burn in your own defeat and your perfume will be sulphur Down you will tumble from your pedestal You no longer have a place in my life You no longer have a place in my heart But more importantly You no longer have a place in my mind

When a person is in a certain state of spiritual ignorance They have no idea of the audacity of their requests and no concept of the abundance of blessings and Grace With which they have already been bestowed.

Privilege Or Entitlement
Your life’s but a shadow he’s a king of the earth he’s secure in his place he knows his own worth. He‘s lacking all burdens his smile merits bliss by the King be commanded you’re deemed worthy young miss. The lady‘s so lucky, as a rose meant for plucking, this brawling, rough rogue, - this heir to earths throne, deems her worth the f—king. I chuckle demurely, “Be away drunken sir - leave me to my studies - go chase other skirts with your fraternity buddies.”

Liberty is the highest decree. Independence and opportunity - the finest, paramount glee. Certainly indeed! But are we really moving towards being free? Or is it brazen entitlement that we blatantly feed? # You ask of the next catastrophe. Mass irresponsibility: that is sadly what it will be ...smh That is sadly what it will be.

Primitive
The world doesn't owe you a **** thing. Hard work doesn't entitle you to a better life, neither does lineage, money or otherwise. You aren't entitled to ANYthing. Some people get more than they "deserve". Other people get less. "Deserving" is a manufactured concept to allow us to pity ourselves when we acquire less of a good thing or more of a bad thing than we expected. When something bad happens to you, you didn't deserve it. When something amazing happens to you, you didn't deserve it. Our very existence is a gift, and saying we deserve anything more than to be alive is purely arrogant. Be thankful for every drop of water, every grain of sand, and every speck of dust you have because one day, you may not have those anymore. So cherish the ones who you love, because one day, they may no longer be there either.

Sobering Reality
Listening does not mean learning. Learning does not mean knowledge. Knowledge does not mean you are wise. Wisdom does not mean you are aged. Age does not mean you are frail. Frailness does not mean you are weak. Weakness does not mean you are worthy. Worthiness does not mean you are entitled. Entitlement does not mean you are the one.

things it doesn't mean
I believe we are entitled to certain things To be loved the way we choose to love And to be treasured the way we treasure people But despite such, Cruelty in the world prevails Hate overwhelms love Selfishness triumphs above all else Maybe it was given to us that way But Its up to us to change that..

He was my rose. my one and only unique rose. I took care of my rose. I gave my rose my sun, so that I can keep him warm during the coldest and frigid days. Then I gave my rose my moon. It was to remind him that there there's still hope during the darkest of the nights. And then offer him my favourite. The stars. It was a metaphor for our intergalactic love. No matter how much distance is stretched between us, it was for my rose to know that I'll still be here shining light on his hopes and dreams. But my rose wilted. My rose said that my love was not enough. I saw galaxies in my rose's eyes but yet he couldn't find a single star in mine. I was blinded by the thorns that came with him and yet instead I called it love.

How will we progress today? Will we risk life attending Mosque, Or have an affair with our spouse's boss? Will we take the dog out for a walk, Step on a landmine, use plastic straws? Perhaps we'll play with our kids today, Or call Amber Alert, wait scared, and pray? Will we defy authority with a righteous tone, Or leave our tail tucked, like a dog with his bone? Will we gauge goods today for our Vegan menu, Or show a distention as millions today do? Will we drive around town for cheaper gas, Or choose our pickings from picked-over trash? Do you sling eggs and sausage for sub-minimum wages, Or attend a visitation in a tortured MADD rage? Will you tee off at eight, or do a spin class, Or sit solitary watching the hourglass? Did we place our script at the shiny drugstore, Or wade across water to Jordan's fair shore? Will we question the teacher at our kid's school, Or play Avatar falling off our bar stool? Did you set a reminder on your AI phone For chicken delivery to your suburban home? Will you lift copper tubing from construction sites, Proclaiming your station in life gives you right? Do I recline in my La-Z-Boy for a nap with a book, Or teach someone to live with a line and a hook? Will you take out your family, Are you last on your list, Will you reciprocate a handshake Or raise a gloved fist? Our words can't bind all our wounds, Few are born with silver spoons, We're not wrapped in silk cocoons. A metamorphosis is coming To this world of gloom, A rousing group flight, And it can't come too soon.

I just don't know how people do it. Wake up and work for a living just to pay hospital, insurance, utility, student bills like there's nothing to it, and then go to bed with no scary thoughts beating like cold rain through their heads. Every day is a struggle between either myself and the world or myself and time or myself and myself, and it takes every drop of will that I have to not reach for the bottle, the pipe, on the shelf. I just don't know how people, some people, most people, it seems, can live any better than that. Like the one percent sitting on top of the world looking down, hysterically laughing at those who have to work, who breaks their backs and necks and minds trying to make something last longer than a few ******* days. Sure, there's beauty in the world, but you gotta pay to look at it. And even then, you aren't allowed to just grab it and take it, put a sign on it and make it yours. Someone's already claimed all you hold dear. You're just stuck borrowing.
