I apologies for being born in this world
I apologies for my parents
I apologies for human biology
I apologies for mother earth
I apologies for being black
and sorry for not being born custom made

sometimes you just
gotta sit down and write
just grab the apple
and take a bite
just take a leap
into the dark night

if you want to be a poet
you gotta write poems
let the words go
wherever the wind blows em

sometimes your lines will ****
other times blow you away
but stay firm on that writing path
don't be led astray
by laziness and perfectionism
saying you can't do it
don't give in, knock em down
push yourself right through it

let the poem be what it is
let its rhymes ring true
knowing as much
as you're writing the poem
it's also writing you
success comes
through failure
improvement comes
through the grind
go ahead
write bad poems
they'll make you better
in due time

My grandpa
             Words he gave
                            To me once upon a full moon
“Son” he said
            “When you go into this life”
“Remember, that love is a language “
             “So find, my son, find someone”
                     “Who speaks your language “
      “So you don’t have to translate your soul”
                                   Hmmm.

May I smoke during prayer ?
Answer is ' No'
This is morality

May I pray during smoking ?
Answer is ' Yes'
This is politics

Knowing the
difference between
the two decides
our life's quality

people hurting people every second
we are all self center in our own ways
doing and willing to do what ever benefits us either
indirectly or directly
never ever considering those we hurt to achieve
what we want

sometimes we need to stop amid this hustle and see
clearly that not everyone is running our race
look with their eyes some are just struggling to live for a day

we are not all privileged and hard heart-ted, some are too fragile that it only takes a whisper of harshness to crumble

yes, you might be a familiar face, a authority or my friend but it never gives you the right to over stay your due.

people we look, eat and sleep the same but remember we are all wired differently.

undo these pain
and restlessness

these tossing
and turning

pondering on endless
questions with out answers

on the knowing of
unfaithfulness  

the unknown outings
the distancing
unpleasant  attitude

yet nothing to prove
but  feelings

you have a funny way to make an entrance
there is no way to tell when
it is any day which pleases you
and I sometimes think it is rude
even though I know it is your nature
