#stupidest
making too much of an effort
has never been the stupidest and foolish thing to do.
it is just that
no one is willing to accept it
even at your worst.

They weren't born with a silver spoon
only an umbilical cord tied round their necks
alas this stopped enough oxygen getting to their brains
creating minds full of mumbo jumbo ideas and fantasies
and a bleeding wound that gives them pain without relief
reminding them all the time they are low and never good enough
cause they were born without a silver spoon on a dusty ***** track
It's a blemish that can never be erased
even with a million lucre they still feel small and stained
you can take them out of the manger not the shame out of them
they always believe and know that those others are better than them
with stunted-brains and raving-angst they never see the world right
its us and them burns the burning passions in conflicted sad minds
life long struggles for the struggle to find that silver spoon never had
Their leaders had a brilliant idea in time
mind without a silver spoon their brains always suspect
find all the silversmiths and **** them all and then nationalize silver
one called Stalin killed millions because he saw silver in their teeth
one Pol *** decided he saw silver in the educated and killed them all
this Chavez took all the silver and gave it all away now they are poor
and Fidel says we'll share equally but I and my brotha will only give
The Silver searchers in the some of the West
decided, we should just fight and talk and hold rallies and hate
all those born with the silver spoon must be punished to kingdom
but look says some, you can have silver if you only apply yourself
that's a trick says them of the befuddled minds and complexes bad
let's just be nuisances and hate and holler and torment and harass
Looking closely all their leaders had silver spoons but that's OK

The Devil himself
…..he read that online
mine poetry about poverty
that poverty was about
the grammar mistakes in many poems
the stupidity started chasing me
declared instantly me-moi as his enemy
his words, so absurd
a lunatic so terrific
I thought he could read poetry
but….I was mistaken....
my beloved one never knew
the alienating appearance of this blind male
I wrote about true poetry and its poverty
he associated with politics and its tactics
I thought he could read poetry
but….I was mistaken....
thought he ran the marathon
but....I was mistaken,
he was chasing me constantly,
God said to me: " Have never fear, Sylvia
I am with you all the time"
all my fears disappeared instantly
from far I heard the thunder
and I saw the brightest lightning
a man fell down shouting for help
on my way, I passed his burnt body
terrible smell of burnt blood
Hey! That was the one who was constantly chasing me
The devil himself with his poker face
Thank you, dear Lord,
you have helped me in Your Time....
that resonates with mine,
oh Lord, You are sublimest!
