#respect
( i )
I lucked out
on table 4 last night
window seat
baseboard heat
with intimate passages
from Ginsberg
in his purest
and most evident form
Cover-all Carl was draped
in his usual garb
(turning pages
of yesterday's news)
animating, culturing, bantering
on the fate of the
Greek barber
(in an accent of which
I'm not so sure)
His cronies
looked on
(with a twisted conviction)
countering
with their own tales
of ingovernance and woe
*did you know that Panasonic
lost 5 billion last quarter?*
The evening moved
in time lapse...
with painted winds,
streaming lights
and a host of
high school girls
running cold
Maleah passed
on her late shift
(checking the pile and trough),
patronized the boys
and called it a night
( ii )
The bald man
is back at it again
bickering at the till
(something about
a cold free coffee
or 99 cents
or the coloured guy
behind him who got it hot)
a kind Filipino
is trying to get it done
(at 8 bucks per)
losing her cool
and shedding a quiet tear
Wonder what the Purewals
or Haitians or Cossacks
would have to say
about this grim public reminder,
wonder what
this sad f*ck
will do tonight...
without his
bus pass
or sling sack
or broken Turkish stems

She was not just "asking for it"
Her skirt showing her long limbs
She is not one to submit
Or to give up when told to quit
She will not stand for your catcall
For your whistle and "hey there, doll"
You should not be appalled
Because she really can rule it all
She is fierce and she is true
She's neither higher nor lower, but she is equal to you
Her body is not just something you can tear down and *****
So, pack your things and say adieu
She is feminine
As well as pure adrenaline
Cease to examine this "specimen"
And become a true gentleman

*He’s no musician.
He doesn't make melodies through violin and guitar strings.
Yet he composed, haunting ballads in dramatic tempos,
Rhyming every lyric,
Harmonizing, making it dance in a musical euphony.
He’s no seamster.
Yet he cuts and he traces,
plain words and printed phrases;
Then he sews and he weaves it skilfully,
into a lovely concrete poetry.
He’s no painter.
He just has a palette of pigmented letters,
splashing colorful lines on his blank canvass.
A blast of contained evocative memories,
Streaking and shading mixtures of kaleidoscopic imagery.
He’s no storyteller.
Yet from him, I heard the most romantic tales-
One, of the moon and its lover sea.
Reciprocating shy glances, whispering I love you’s,
while kissing behind the sprawling mountains.
Though the dawn will come, they do not fear.
For after the majestic tribal sun leaves his stage,
There’ll the lovers be once again reunited.
He's no poet.
Yet he writes--
stanzas and verses.
And oh! it revives,
every strand of emotion,
every sense of intuition,
Inside me.
A lyrical perception,
Sheer perfection,
Arousing perpetual reactions,
From me.*

"THIS PICTURE WILL NOT CHANGE THE WORLD, BUT I STILL NEED FEMINISM AND I’M GOING TO REALLY, REALLY TELL YOU WHY":
-Because I got called a ***** for wearing a short plaid skirt when I was 10
-and because when Nujood Ali from Yemen was 10 she got divorced
-Because black girls’ names became my classmates’ favorite “joke” when I was 11
-and because when an 11-year-old girl in Texas was ***** by 18 men the New York Times wrote of how the girl “dressed older than her age”
-Because I started counting calories when I was 14
-and because when Malala Yousafzai was 14 she was shot in the head for trying to go to school
-Because I heard a boy greet a girl with “hey **** today at age 16
-and because when a 16-year-old girl in Steubenville, Ohio was filmed being ***** by two boys at a party while unconscious the CNN reporters talked about how tragic it was because the rapists had such bright futures as athletes
-Because I will have to watch my drink at all bars and parties when I am 22
-and because when CeCe McDonald was 22 she was sentenced to 41 months in prison for defending herself against a man who screamed transphobic, racist insults at her and then slashed her face with a bottle
-Because no matter what age I am the biggest threat to men will still be heart disease, and the biggest threat to women will still be men.
-Because it is not just about me, because it is not just about anger, because it is not just a JOKE, because it is not just about “hating men,” because it is not just about girls with vaginas, because it is not just about ending **** because it is not just about white straight girls in Rookie magazine, because it is not just about writing on backs, because it is not just about the fact that gay men are **** but lesbians are “hot,” because it is not just about pictures of thin white girls being the only google image results for the search phrase “beautiful women”, because it is not just about writing signs, because it is not just about what she was wearing or how many times she said yes before she changed her answer to no, because misogyny is not just about one thing and feminism is not just about one thing and it is not just “a trend” and it will not “happen” in just one way.
-And because yes. It is about equality for EVERYONE, but first and foremost it needs to be about equality for girls, because they are not treated equally to men, in every single sense, and you are not going to take feminism away from me and call me bossy/hostile/aggressive and make this about yourself or make it into a joke, because truth be told, I’m not joking and I’m tired of explaining. If you want to call yourself a feminist, you work hard to spread feminism, you do not turn this into a contest of whose struggle is greater and constantly demand to know what you can get out of feminism personally. Feminism is not just about you, or me, it is about everyone. If you’re male and you’re tired of men being stereotyped as hyper-masculine, soulless, sexist, inherent leader-tyrant creatures, then go out and prove the patriarchy wrong and fight for girls, like someone with a soul who believes in equality would. Then, yes, feminism will be about everyone.

I don't seek your permission...
To write about the what, why and how.
It could be a haiku or come in the shape of a cow.
I don't need your approval...
When I don't sound the least bit poetic...
In my mismatched metaphors or ill-rhymed acrostic.
I'm not asking for your blessing...
When I pen down and put up what I think...
Be it in cloying cliches or in tear drenched ink.
I don't crave for your understanding...
When my 10 word poems weren't filtered through your poetic lens,
Or if my contributions in collaborations lack in sense.
I don't hope for your likes...
If my content does not tickle your fancy,
Or if my words just rubs you silly.
I mean no disrespect...
But don't be too quick to click on the 'comment' button.
Private messaging has been put there for a reason.
I don't mean to cramp your style...
You're entitled to your own opinions of course...
But if you've got nothing good to say, please save it and shove it up yours.

You are a flower
Far too beautiful for me to pluck
I will come to your site everyday
Just to adore your sight
I'll leave you in your natural habitat
I cherish you
But I won't be selfish
I'll leave you for others to behold also
Utmostly, I want what's best for you

Respect for everyone on here who acts so sweet,
Little acts of kindness everywhere,
Intelligent poetry and clever comments,
Supportive people and sometimes a kind private message.
Being on here restores my faith in humanity.
The people on here are beautiful, all in their own way.
Never I will say without flaws, we are all humans here.
No, we aren't without flaws, that us the best part, we accept each others flaws.
Respect for everyone here who votes on my poetry.
I am happy with people like you.
And the nice comments on here, on my works and on the works of others, I am proud to be part of this community.
And to anyone who send me kind private messages, you are the best.
Respect for everyone on here, first of all for being human beings.
Secondly because you being so wonderful.
Respect and thank you

She stands at the door to your heart knocking, steadily
Not seeking out your head but obsessed with your conscience,
Curious to dominate every burn of your passions,
And seek recognition wherever you register your presences.
She seeks to work in your work and gain expression,
She moves with her entire family of Love, Respect and Tolerance
In all your dealings with those of your kind;
She demands you let her take the lead if you don't mind.
"Oh! if only they see how much they need me", she cries,
"Then humanity would not be ruled by these many lies".
Make haste and open the door don't further delay,
She sees your desolation and seeks to brighten your day.
She stands at the door to your heart please listen,
This reviving call must not escape your sense of reason,
Redefine and restore human values is her major quest,
Meet Dignity; give her your best and she'l fulfill the rest.

Why do you tell me these lies?
They are hurtful and I have
lost respect for you.
I really wanted to believe you this time.

A incredible word which possessed everything
A virtue that is hard to gain but easy to lose
Its as fragile as glass and can be broken with a single mistake
Just like any damaged material
respect can be sometimes impossible to remake
The cracks and fragments of a shattered trust will be still visible
and time can't heal it
Sometimes its more than love
Because what is love without respect?
Its nothing, Its nothing but lust

The days where i'm shy,
I call my friend along,
I speak through him
and he speaks through me
He knows how I see things,
as he sees things the way I see it,
If you know your instrument well,
you'd understand what im saying
So when day comes to present and show,
We dont feel that we are letting go,
we are a team.
and what we do, we do it together.
If you know your instrument well,
you'd understand what i'm saying

Respect is DYING ... Everyday ... !!!
The old ... " Dismay " ...
cos the young ... DISPLAY ...
A Lack of ... " Respect " ...
in their ... Crazy Ways ... !!!
So, pay ... Close Attention ...
This ISN'T ... " Wordplay " ... !!!
Disrespect has become ...
The ... " Modern Way " ... ?!?
VIOLENCE ....
is now the way .... !!!!!
I hope I'm dead BEFORE ....
28 Days Later ... !!!!!!
What's with these ... " Film Makers " ... ?!?
Actors take roles
for .... Cash Type PAPER ... !!!
EVEN If ... Their Role ...
is a SICK ... Date ***** ... !?!
See ....
This is why ...
Respect will die ...
because ...
Most things seen
on ... Movie Screens ...
are making kids
have ... Violent Dreams ... !!!
from ...
Twelve years olds
to our ... Young Teens ...
The streets we walk on
are ... UNCLEAN ... !!!!!!
because of images ...
placed on ... TV Screens ... !!!!!!
Don't get me wrong ....
VIOLENCE is .... REAL ... !!!!!
But ....
THIS ... I DON'T Want ...
as my ... " Daily Meal " ... !!!!!!
While ... Business Tycoons ....
Continually ... STEAL ... !!!
I Agree with ... Michael Moore ...
STOP Shows like ... " Cops " ... !!!!!
These Violent Shows ...
are built to ... SHOCK ...
So Ratings RISE ...
while black folks ... ROT ... !!!!!
THINK ......
ALL These Things ...
Create ... DISRESPECT ...
DISRESPECT of ... Our Mothers
DISRESPECT of ... Our Brothers
DISRESPECT of ... Each Other
Because of ......... Our Colour
But This .... Disrespect Thing ...
is used in ... " Rapping " ...
So people ... DON'T THINK ...
There are ... " Conscious " ... Rap Kings ...
This .....
DISRESPECT ... Rap ...
is getting kids ... "TRAPPED" ... !!!
Cos' they think ....
Respect's EARNED ...
By dishing out ... SLAPS ... !?!
Instead of ... " Discerning " ...
Who's Setting .... " The Trap " ...
It's ... " Corporate Boys " ...
who sit and ................ " Avoid " ...................
The ... SCREAMING Type Noise ... !!!!!!
When Kids Play With ... " Gun Toys " ... !!!!!!
It's THEM ....
Who sit .... " Planning " ....
THESE ... "Devilish' ... Ploys ...
THIS ....
Lack of ... Respect ...
is SLITTING ... Some Necks ... !!!!!
Believe ... What You Like ... !!!!!
Walk streets ... Late at Night ...
and see what you get .... !!!!!!
On THIS ...
I Would Bet ...
Walk in the ... WRONG PLACE ... !!!
and you'll ... NEVER AGAIN ...
See a ....
Smile on your face ... !!!
It's ATTITUDE Now ...
ALL OVER The Place ... !!!!!
Rudeness is viewed ...
In ... EVERY ... Workplace ...
The way the young ... Act ...
is a ... ********* ... DISGRACE ... !!!!!
It's NOT JUST ... The Young ... !!!
I've really been ... STUNNED ...
by how people ... " Act " ...
Who Claim ... " Poetic Grace " ... ?!?
Fellow Poets have seen me ...
TIME and AGAIN ... !!! ...
But when I ... Return ...
Many STARE ... in my face ... !?!
Like i'm from ....... OUTER SPACE ........ ?!?
Men ....
DISRESPECT ... Women ...
Women ....
DISRESPECT ... Men ...
To me ....
This is .... NONSENSE ...
WITHOUT ... A Defence ... !?!
If we are to live ...
in a world ... FULL of Hate ... ?!?
I Think ....
YES ... For REAL ... !!!!
Give the world to the ... " Gays " ... !!!!
I've tried ... NOT TO SAY ...
What I feel about ... " Gays " ...
Well I guess ...
Now you ... KNOW ... !!!
So ....
What will you say ... ?
" I DISRESPECT Them !!! "
Well Maybe ... I am ... ???
But ...
Let me just ... STRESS ... !!!
I Face ... Racial Problems ... !!!!!
Give me ... THE POWER ...
That's given to ... THEM ...
Then I Won't ... Shy Away ...
From Talking ... About Them ... !!!!!
But for now ....
I'm ... MORE WORRIED ...
About THESE ... " Gun Sounds " ... !!!!!
and Profanities .... HEARD ...
From MANY ... Young Mouths ... !!!!!
I'm Ready to ... DIE ....
cos these days ... I DON'T CRY ... !!!!!
I'm Poetically ... " Plying " ...
and Constantly Trying ...
to make you folks ... Hear Me ...
Cos' .....
" RESPECT is now dying... "

~Modesty & Respect has been lost and now the tears are too hot to turn into frost~
◄►◄►◄►◄►
Sickness in the mind is revised
As the eyes are revealed to a non-existing surprise
Pretending that the colorful pills are sweet tasting skittles
While tears forms into a spiraled riddle
Generations are messed up because good-teachings are slack
So in the young minds rightfulness lack
There is peace even if chaos may seem to consume
In dark tunnels a dim light will soon loom
But if you perceive
To conceive
Not to believe
Then tell me how will you ever achieve?
Life is not a game, but a vivid reality
So save every special moment of sensuality
Remember that you are an instrument
Play your life story, sing your mind, and bleed your words out loud with contentment
You’re not useless
Humanities truths…believe every single bit of it, release your stress
Strength lies within your heart
You’re such a beautiful sculpted art
Do the opposite of what depression tells you, you won’t lose
Your fate lies in each choice you make, carefully choose
Your future is the next moment
Make each obstacle your stepping stone and then you can easily avoid torment
Then spectral corruption
Will never be able to destroy your inner emotion

Everybody lacks ... something ...
That's a ... Fact ... !!!
So ...
Let me ask you this ... ?
What do ... You Lack ... ?
Do you lack ...
" Common Sense "
or .... Confidence ... ???
or ...
Do you lack what it takes ... ?
to forsake what you gain ...
from living ... just for money ...
like these ... Corporate Heads ... !!!
Well money ...
" Certainly " .... Pays .... !!!
But ....
Does not ... " Allay " ...
Unhappy Days ... !!! ...
Ask those ... who take ...
"Every Piece" ... of the cake ... !!!
If they say ... Their Cash ... !!!
Removes ... Their Pain ...
They're being ... Fake ... !!!
Question .... ?
what they say ... ?
If they lost their ...
... " Loved Ones ' ...
Could their cash ... Replace ... ?
" Loved Ones " ... who'd placed ...
Smiles on ... Their face ... !!! ? !!! ...
The answer is ... NO ... !!!
and this ... They Know ... !!!
So ...
Do you lack ...
" Other things " ... ?
that ... make you think ...
" What is The Point !!?!! "
of ... Making Noise ...
about the way ...
we live ... today ...
Well ...
that's okay ...
it's been ... that way ...
since the ... early days ...
of ... " Shackled Slaves ! " ...
Many lack ... the ability ...
to face ... " The Truth " ... !!!
Do those ... last words ...
Apply ... to you ... !!?!! ...
Well ...
If they ... DO ... ?!?
You're lacking in food ...
You should ... Consume ... !!!
These days ...
I Lack ... " Patience " ...
with those who are ...
..... " Blatant " .....
" Ignorant Fools !!! " ...
Those I find ...
with ... " Narrow Minds " ...
who choose to ... move ...
in the land ... of the blind ... !!!
Those now inclined ...
to ... Ignoring Signs ... ?!?
that .... " Indicate " ....
.......... " New " ...........
" Troubled Times " ... !!! ...
for ... "Our" ...
" Human Kind " ... !!!
But ... if we pressed ...
"CLICK" ...........
Rewind ...
I'm sure we'd find ...
Many Things ... " Replicated " ...
Like ...... " Old Pastimes " ......
Do you lack ... ?
The Ability ...
to want to ... " Backtrack " ... ?
Can I ask you ...
" Freely " ... ?
Why are you ... like that ... ???
Afraid of what you'll see ... ??!??
or ... what you'll ... FIND ...
that'll ... EXPOSE ... Lies ...
"Cleverly" ... disGuiSed ...
to keep ... The Truth ...
hidden ......
..... From .....
" Enquiring Minds ? " ...
This seems to be ...
... " Planned " ... !?!
to ... Ensure Most ...
..... " Lack " .....
" The Ability " .....
to deal with ... FACTS ...
Like .....
Why are women ...
Soooo hard ... to understand ... ???
In the very beginning ....
They're ... HARD to ATTRACT ... !!!!!
If ....
You're a man ...
who ... HOLDS ... Your Stance ...
THAT ... You give a **** ...
" About " ... Their Needs ...
while those who ... Lack ...
such ..... " Courtesies " .....
seem to get ... ***** ...
Like .... " Next one please !!! "
Girls who ... LACK ...
any ... Common Sense ...
are those ... I don't want ...
inside ..... My Bed ..... !!!!!!!!!!
But ....
Hell Yes ... Yeah ...
I'll pass through theirs' ... !!!!!
Now ....
Hear me out girls ...
Don't take ... Offence ... !!!!!
But ....
Too Many ... of you ...
Pick The ....
"Wrong ****** Men ?!?"
Again and Again .....
Your Case ... CLEARLY ...
Has .... " No Defence " ... !!!!!
These days ...
There's a .... LACK ....
of ... " Good ol' ... FUN ... !!!
Especially with ...
A ... " Good Woman ! " ...
..... " Relationships " .....
seem to end ... So Quick ... !!!
Before ... " Love's Able " ...
to get a .... " GRIP !!! " ....
and have a chance to ...
........ " Sit " .........
at the ... Dinner Table ...
That's ... " REALITY " ...
and is ... " No Fable ! " ...
Like .... Cain and Abel ...
Things are ... CLEARLY ...
Quite .... " Unstable " .... !!!!!
Like ... reception through ...
Those ... " Dodgy Cables ! ' ...
No ... MTV ...
or ... Sky TV ...
But ...
Here's the link ...
So take ... THIS IN ... !!!
There's now a ... LACK ...
of ..... " RELIABILITY " .....
in how .... People ....
Now Seem ... to be ... !!!!!
"I'll call you tonight !"
"Cool, that's just fine,
I should be home,
by, half past nine,
don't let me down,
I don't like to be clowned !!!"
"Trust me man,
I will ring you !!!"
" Haven't heard from
..... THAT FOOL .....

if he calls me with ...
A Poor excuse ...
My mouth is gonna,
leave him ... Schooled ...
and make him ... frown ...
with the words ... I Choose ... !!! "
I just can't stand ....
when people .... LACK ....
..... " Reliability " ..... !!!!!!!!!!!
or ... is it ... Just Me ... ?!?
Asking ... TOO MUCH ... !!!
to hope that .... Some ....
"Good Ones" ... are left ... !!!
who are .... " Reliable " ....
from ... Start to End ... !!!
and deal in ...
" Honesty " ...
as well as ...
" Respect " ...
People ... You TRULY ..
can call ... Your Friends ... !!!!!
Well ....
One thing ... I Don't Lack ... !
is a will to ... " Express " ...
through poetry .... sent ....
to my .... Notepad .... !!! ....
So ... now it's time ...
to end ... This Rhyme ...
About ....
Some Things ....
That ... WE ALL ...
...... " Lack " ...... !!!!!
But ....
If you think ....
You DON"T ... Lack Anything ... ???
Let me just say this ....
You are ... DREAMING ... !!!!!!!!!
EVERYONE ...
Lacks something ....
That's just ... FACT ... !!!!!!!
So .....
Be HONEST ... with yourself ...

You're facing ... A WALL ...
A wall ... FILLED WITH ... Bullies ... !!!
just ready to .... BRAWL ... !!!!!
But bullies ... are Dummies ...
whose thought waves are ... "small" ...
Like those who believe ...
in avoiding ... School Halls ... ?!?
That line's ... for those kids ...
with ... SLEEPLESS ... Eyelids ... !!!
ALWAYS ... think of ... THIS
A Bully is .... weak ... !!!
So Don't ... lose your sleep ... !!!
cos' bullies ... DON'T THINK ...
of the ... " Sows " ... that they reap ... ?!?
OKAY ...
Yes I mean ...
They'll reap ... what they sow ... !!!
Well ... ?
Maybe I don't ... ???
But ...
One Thing ... I KNOW ... !!!
IS ... most bullies ... Don't See ...
that the ... Sickness ... they keep ...
is REALLY ... A Sickness ...
that slowly ...... just Creeps ...
A Sickness ...
That'll give em' ...
YES ...
One ... " FINAL " ... Sleep.
and this may be ... " Why "... ?
Our Youth ......
Die on streets ..... !!!
The Cycle's ... Complete ...
from Rappers who talk ...
about ... Killing Emcees ... ?!?
to crimes some ... " Commit " ...
Against ... " Humanity " ...
I'm looking for ... " Peace " ...
in places ... I be ...
But let's get things ... STRAIGHT ...
Don't come ... Pushing Me ... !!!!!
Be ... Nice ...
and ... Believe Me ...
I'll be ... Nice to you ... !!!
I may ... turn my cheek ....
if you give me ... Abuse ... ?
But .... !!!!!
That's cos' I choose ...
NOT TO ... act the ... " Fool " ...
but .... Anything's Possible ...
I've got ... Two Hands Too ... !!!!!
I put that verse in ....
to PROVE ... Peace ...
Can Be ... COOL ... !!!
But everyone's temper ...
has Boundaries Too ... !!!!!
So ... what do you do ... ?
when THUGS ... approach you ... ?!?
Well this ...
I CAN'T ... tell you ...
cos' ... I am NOT ... You ... !!!
I'm simply ... Advising ...
Fighting NEEDS ... " Downsizing " .... !!!!
But .....
This thing ... RESPECT ...
Really NEEDS ...
An ... UPRISING ... !!!!!
cos' Violence ... INFECTS ...
and ... CANNOT ... Protect ...
The world and ...
It's ... People ...
So take time and ... " Check " ...
The thoughts I ... " Collect " ...
and take time ... Before ...
Dishing out ....
" Disrespect " ....

To know a ***** is to hate a *****
and to hate a ***** is to be a *****
So therefore every day is *****
appreciation day

Branch out leafs stuck in tables
The call of the wild
Inner child alive
Bust lose wild horses hate their stables
Some birds don't fly?
Chicken with head cut off can dance
Do all 16 dances
Can't fly to France
Or live in a tree full of owls
Crows nest
Birds and the bees
Eat from flowers
Just like all the rest
Reincarnation, a dead man takes a vacation
When I die I want to return as a wise owl
Live with a girl owl
In a tree full of owls...

You choose to ask me about me, you choose to want to know me. You speak words out my vocabulary! You speak of your world so fine. You lure me into your mind. You try speak the truth while talking lies. You tell me about beauty and brains combined. You tell me I look fine and my poetry is in line. You tell me you'd want to know if I'm woman enough. If I can really play tough with whips and cuffs! I ask you how? Cause this is my body? What more can a woman define being a woman? I then realise the misconception. Try give you direction, but your minds path is too narrow, filled with ***** ***** and lubes! Reluctant to teach a head with no backbone, I smile:) you then begin again. You tell me that that smile you have, is worth a million rands, you tell me my curves don't lie, that could handle me right? you tell me about the bed, the floor, the kitchen counter, you define me by how many rounds I can encounter! This is my body..how dare you try you undress me? How dare you define my womanhood out of desperate needs?
You terminate my soul and don't bother to ask more. You say thanx like I did a good job. For watering your ego and moaning your insecurities away. Respect my body sir. Then ill Salute you.

I know all boys aren't like this, but a lot of them are.
Rules for Boys:
1. You treat all girls with respect
2. You do not call them "chicks" "little girls" "xxxxxxx" or any other hurtful names.
3. Girls have feelings too.
4. Teasing is a form of Bullying
5. No girl will like you if you think of them as being less than you.
6. Everyone is created equal.
7. Don't call a girl names just because they are standing up for themselves.
8. All girls are different and unique.
9. Your ego doesn't matter.
10. You don't have to be a certain way to impress girls. Be yourself
Sexism needs to stop.
