"berate" poems
Oh black negus. Why do you hate me so much? Noticed I called you by your rightful title. Negus King, Ruler, Emperor Not ***** or ****** The derogatory term originating from the crackers, or ***** the mild disparagement softened by society made to think that it's acceptable. But anyway let's get back to it. Why do you hate me? Is it because of my full lips or my round hips? My low tolerance for ******** The way that my stretch marks are engraved in my skin? Or how the roots of my hair aren't so thin. Is it my naturally sun kissed skin? Even toned complexion? It just can't be my uncanny resemblance to Isis the Egyptian Goddess! So why not praise me for my natural features Why go on one knee for their paid for enhancements Should I react like Angela Basset in Waiting to Exhale? Screaming and shouting while my face is growing pale. But pardon my melanin I was perplexed by this darkness that stared at me in the mirror That stared at me looking in my lovers eyes and taunted me Smiles behind hidden hate they constantly berate my beauty But pardon my melanin My superiority is in my melanin Encased in my skeleton Our ancestors wouldn't like this They would not be proud of that colorism that exist They slander us for our features yet they list after it This systematic thinking has our men slandering us but they won't admit You continue to beat me down yet I am your mother. I am the fruit of this nation. But pardon my melanin So I'll ask again Why do you hate me? We are carved in the same beauty and without each other we can't exist I still remember the first day that we kissed but a few months later you left me for hailey in an unfortunate bliss Melanin filled girls I am here to say You are a queen never be afraid to be seen The brother that disrespect and degrade are absolutely absurd! You are not ratchet bitter or mean Youre a stunning melanin queen So pardon my melanin? Naw enlightened by me melanin.

Sledding, a white flurry of glitter Glass trees throw soft needles a-sprinkle A blissful silver rocket. It all flies by Sparkles of diamond on the ceiling or sky Radiant light, its fate to be wrinkled by the dim labyrinth of this shining prism. Gray aurora, dancing in the diamond rain Iron curtains hide the truth Glass and pains of steel, in a prism of gray Do you see windows or mirrors? All I see, a magnificent pane A merry toast! To all I say cheers, with a smile worth its years. Lift your brittle glass as you would lift a curse. And drink heartily from the once molten, crystal sand. Drink the guile and drink the hate Drink the lies of shame and berate Drink to see that a flower in  gray is a prism for life, not a fancy bouquet.

Glass of Crystal Sand
Surrounded by flame i see the false memories Tricks of demons burnt away Demons of hell couldnt do this Demons of my own creation Demons who seek to pull me down My demons,the ones who swim and i cant drown or choke The ones who tear me apart all day The ones who say im worthless and stupid The ones who say im fat and ugly The ones who say i do not deserve happiness unless i suffer for it The ones who wont let me be selfish no matter how small the wish The ones who taunt me with childhood memories The ones who cant let me forget what is real The ones who laugh when i cry because my dreams betray me I cannot escape I will never escape myself I am alone in my mind and even though my love tries he can never understand There is not a love on this earth and in this place that could understand I betray myself and berate myself to keep things simple I break myself down so no one else can I break myself down to build up a wall with my heart My castle around my heart is my soul Made to be scary Made to defend a void that is behind it Made so in order to let down my walls i must break myself

Demons of a Berated Heart
We, the people of this country, in your eyes are: babblers, bachelors, bafflers, baiters, barkers, beakers, beaters, brawlers, blamers, beggars, bloaters, bloopers, bombers, boozers, blunders, bruisers, bafflers, bluffers, burglars and burners. That's why you feel compelled to keep your foot on our heads keep us down, put us down, push us down subjugate us, belittle us, berate us. We, the people of this country, in our eyes are: butlers, bouncers, bakers, buyers, barbers, cake-makers, delivery-takers, cocktail-shakers, taxi drivers, cancer survivors, employers and hirers, music makers, entertainers, window washers, foster takers, plasterers, carpenters, scaffolders, sparks and builders, boxers, carers, coaches, tailors, shoe makers, designers, illustrators, multi-language facilitators, dog walkers, dog trainers, bikers and cycle couriers, doctors and nurses and all the emergency services. We are the People, the reason you are where you are now you sometimes forget that we exist as people, somehow locked in your ivory towers with gold plated showers and MP expenses and investment banker pretenses this is not theater, its real life drama, its not just a bluff its time to stand up and say enough is enough.

Another Angry Voice
is what I tell them, now. "I am only going to hurt you. I promise." I will laugh with you and I will let you see my core, and you will want so terribly much to be a part of me you will do almost anything. "I told you not to." I will let you in. I will open myself completely and make myself vulnerable at your feet. You will trust me. " Stop." I will tell you about my family and you will meet them. You will think you understand me. Did you think I was lying when I told you I was a piece of **** I ******* told you. I'll make you feel like the most beautiful woman in the universe. You will know in your bones that I am yours alone. It will be magical and true, at the time. We will be in love with each other. Madly, crazily, undoubtedly and completely in love and it will be the most wonderful and pure and good thing that has ever happened to us both and we will pledge eternal loyalty to each other and we will both mean it and we will be happy beyond our comprehension. Then... I will change. I will grow tired of you. I will become distant. I will become indifferent. I will become cruel. You will be confused and cry and plead and pout and sulk and berate and beleaguer. You will question yourself and your motives, like it was your fault or your failing when it was neither. If it makes you feel better, I will apologize. I won't mean it though. Not all the way, not like I should. It was just me being me and doing exactly what I said I would.

Don't fall in love with me
Unburden me my wiley friend from all my mundane woes Release the threads that bind me here, submit me to your throes Happily you blur the lines and change the days perspective Mollify me with your lies and kindly dope objective. It’s pleasant here, I have no care to change this altered state Inhibitions lose their power to taunt me and berate I perform well, I entertain, I please so easily Popular I find myself within your potency But soon I find the last drops have now dried up in the glass Your soothing draft has poured its fill, your best has come to pass And in its wake you leave for me a tender raw emotion That carries me upon a wave of heady dissolution The tears they stream, I am a mess, back down to earth I plummet All former worries amplify now you have reached your summit I was misled, you’re not my friend, a pariah in disguise You sought to trick and confuse me put beer goggles on my eyes So now into my bed I crawl to rest with bland submission The toilet has already shared with me your vile emissions I close my eyes I pray for sleep, my head already throbbing I enter sleep in throes of self-absorbed, repentant sobbing

DRUNK
If I were to collect all the stars to fashion them into a necklace, you would slap me on the head and tell me to return them. If I were to steal the moon and turn it into a comb, you would toss it back into the night sky right where it belongs. I would never be able to turn the sun into a ring. I would burn myself before touching it. But I know you'll berate me, scold me, while leading my blistered palms towards the sink. I do these selfish things, steal the treasures of the sky, thinking that they would make you happy. I forget that you smile when you share these treasures with seven billion other people.

Selfish
"Under a Mountain of green and a Sky of blue, Lived a race trapped behind a Barrier forgotten after so many years, Slowly their hatred over their predicament only grew, Lost and Forgotten, Hurt but not Broken, some wept their last tears, They heard them say, 'It's been four years since an Angel fell', But the wary Traveler knew not what that meant, It was up to the race to explain to the Traveler and tell, Of a Tale long ago Dreamt, Tale of a sun, and of a world Beyond, Where two races once lived in Peace, A world where both races could bond, Where fighting could stop, where hatred would cease, The Traveler knew then what to do, To free these people of their Fear and Hate, Some wished to help the Traveler, others where hesitant to, This Traveler - however much they faced - promised there wouldn't be anyone they'd berate, The Barrier was a force none had broken thus far, But this Traveler - too kind, too determined - couldn't give up, This Barrier they broke - an obstacle they hurdled like a highset bar, The Race rejoiced for now all where free - even Jerry and that Annoying Pup, This Traveler - who called themselves Frisk - was no more than a child, Yet a new Ambassador had been set, They told any and all that the journey had not been hard but mild, This child was greeted with a smile by whomever they met, 'A new family born, A past left to rot, A new treaty sworn, A kind present this lot!' This child thought with a smile upon their lips, As they moved forward with their friends, A skeleton too smiles as out of sight he blips, 'there will be time later - he thought - for the kiddo and me to make amends'."

Shall I compare thee to the butterfly, Thou hast more beauty, more strength, and more grace. Rough winds do blow paper wings toward the sky, And an icy chill doest berate h’r face. The weight of h’r first original form: But a caterpillar, she did abhor, Brings onto h’r face a look so forlorn Alas! One day she proclaimed she would soar! With wings so frail, she emerged from her sleep, With a new body, h’r soul couldst keepeth To findeth a love so quaint and so deep, Upon my gaze, thee did take hence mine breath. I hath’t such adoration for thy soul, For t’ is mine weak heart, yond hath’t quickly stole.

A Sonnet for Her (2020)
Shoot me, You might as well, cause I'm a threat A threat to your system, a threat to your net profit and status quo, so pick up that gun shoot me and pray to the ground I go, and when you bury me you better call me a madman and pray that the martyrs don't grow You may as well shoot me Mr.Police officer, It may put your employers at ease One bless black man with a heart of power One less antibiotic to your disease Don't forget to tell me I'm resisting, don't forget to tase me til I fall Don't forget to choke me so those listening won't hear my struggles, my calls Don't forget to have the media depict me as a **** and a criminal and a menace to society Don't forget to  reprimand and berate me Remind  your older white listeners that my kind, my skin color is still not considered American Propriety But more like American property, disposable goods So **** me, the cameras are recording but don't worry you'll get off free Might be just a conviction but your Massa's new henchmen and ***** still got the key A couple months paid administrative leave so you can sit on a beach, drink some ice tea Mad that you can no longer put chains on our wrists so you put handcuffs instead No longer pulling whips across our backs so you bury hot burning lead No longer working your fields for all to see but instead privatized free prison labor with your warden holding the key. Martin told me when he us that he had a dream I got his same DNA in my bloodstream And in every cell in my body I feel the effect, I teem I boil I scream, when I see a black mother or father gunned down by police men and the children witnessing the death, the blood, the stream..... I scheme, and when I sleep, I dream And when I dream it's bad news for you to avenge those we lost by crimes, undue To put a stop to all of you.

oh but my love is not a red, red rose. i chose to replace every tear on my face with dying embers of every memory you said you would remember. i trust that you must know that i am not a summer's day, i will never play at being warm or temperate. you can berate me for not knowing whether i am to be or not to be, but forgive me if i don't play by the rules and exit the right stage in a wrong scene. it just means that your music is not the food of my love. i will continue to shove your thoughts under a carpet of denial. do not throw away any vial you might find in my room, you sealed my doom when you stomped down that staircase, tripping on the last time we went for a walk. my face doesn't run smooth like the course of love, you should have known this truth. my eyes are not rose petals, my heart not a white dove, my love when they say hell is empty, they haven't been inside my mind - here you'll find horrors of a sweet kind.

NaPoWriMo #19 - on dissing the classics for a 12 y/o
The night was comfortable, branches lightly choreographed a dramatic reaction to the conversation beneath… spoken words breach the midnight hour by 2, and words are in place of sleep. They speak, but still pretend to have something worth to keep In silence now, no reaction. Walls and thoughts collide and they see the infraction. In a quick succession of contact, blood boils intuition becomes submissive. With the steam of these midnight hours rises away the taboos of love and loyalty, as intoxication devours any human decency. Breathing softly now; with eyes that berate the truth hiding behind the midnight-hour lies, they instigate innocent massage wars desperately wanting neither knowing how they plunge underneath these unbreakable ties. Now speechless they grasp one another speaking devilishly with eyes and even louder with the toils of their hands. Why do you run from surreptitious lies and hide behind your eyes? Say this is how you feel for one thing then when it’s around wear a disguise? Helpless you act toward desires that you conspire to You lit the match and now you must put out the fire.

Choreographed Midnight Surreptitiousness
Have ever you heard The crows sing sweetly? A singing bird, They sing discreetly. They caw to scoff And to berate you,— To **** you off And agitate you. O.O

In Spite
In a world of laughter I was apart of at a time Now glides with sadness As the refugees shine And there in the darkness I can see someone's face Wholesome with fear In deliberate disgrace Find the world's end And summon the flees Through the fires and cries Lies this appealing disease Of rotten flesh And from human, to be born Crucified, embodied, concealed And still so adorn Notify the states Address them assured To be swept with the scars In a world unsecured With the memories of a beast White flesh and teeth In written disconcert And so, whom would I bequeath? Of decayed discontent In a black path of a rose filled garden Hides the wishes of a ****** Broken by the pervading Janardhan And where the blood may spill I may not be for real And in this nightmare I place myself But where I stand my eyes congeal Broken faces, smiles depart So much love, ruled by lust So much hate, driven by anger Asphyxiate my disgust My repel of this utter evil Where a ****** proclaims The absence of virtues And the murderer of William James For the only unseen And the utterly disturbed Comes a vision alive And they're truly perturbed Where their own flesh dilapidate With their minds running amuck And at everyone they will berate And in my cage of silent betrayal I will commence to cleanse my soul My solid trust, broken, forever damaged I can only hope for extol And yet my own deceit Will lead me to my fall I still await this day And truly bury my appall

Demonic Virgins
Up went the roar of the crowd, Ascending, volumes above, beyond The everyday murmur of pestering silence. A futile struggle to withstand its force, Like a vast wave, rogue and raging, Slamming nature, a slap in the face of feebleness, This crowd roars… Not anger, not anguish, or grief, But a prideful scream of declaration; The masses make it known, and known again, Fists raised, pulverizing the air to a beat Of human design, of togetherness, of solidarity In the fight for those like us, a howl, This crowd roars… Stampeding feet berate the beaten earth, Invigorated legs supporting pounding hearts, To a beat, rolling with the flow, Energy infusing the soul, encased in flesh, bone, and blood; Marching onward, forward, processional strides Declaring and making it known with battle cries, This crowd roars… Shouts of proclamation echo the strident resistance With thunder, earth-quaking, walls crumbling, chains shattering With thunder, dancing against the discordant system; Proud warriors raising flags of protest Amidst the roar, roister, and riots, rising reactionaries Refusing submission, declining resignation, This crowd roars… Bounded together, by blood, by common cause, Mingling masses of forgotten arise with a vocal Outcry, intense, pulsing from the core (of us) Like an infestation, infuriated, a torrent swarm (of us) Flowing upwards, eroding all obstructions. Declare, proclaim, announce, request, demand, This crowd roars…

Soccer, like baseball has legends as well Some are great players, and some you can't tell They have great careers, some ring the bell But some are still legends, others...legends that fell Pele', no question is the best of them all He could perform football magic when he had the ball Is his World Cup in Sweden, the best of them all None had his magic, or walked quite so tall Team England at Wembley won in sixsty six With Charlton and Moore, they were top of the picks But since then, no more magic...something they can't fix They went out as World Champs, but the curse..it still sticks Maradonna, no question, has an ego like none He thinks he is special, Jesus might be his son The hand of God statement, just might be the one That wipes out his achievements, and puts him under the gun Head butts from players, hand ***** and bad plays do we remember sucessess or is it failure that stays? Is ithe team or the player or the fan who must pay When they lessen their image that sets fans in a daze Do we gloss over issues because a player is great Or do we remember a player who reached legend by fate Do we remember their battles when we chose to berate Or do we respect how they acted and say "good on, mate" All sports have heroes, and all sports have bums But some are remembered for just flapping their gums Remember a legend, is a player who comes To the pitch as a player and makes the crowd hum.

Upon us you always put the blame You treat us with such disdain Why is it so, what have I done to make you put my head against your gun I lived my life, and paid my way but it is you that wants to take my life away You take my home, and throw me out and in the street profanity you do shout There is no rhyme or reason to your logic about which you seem so nostalgic The war is over, we thought the hate gone but in reality that was not for long The new migrants come with their new hate and us they continue to **** and berate us, the Jews

Blame
I stood across a fiery red and ended up purple. Greased thighs, dripping down and rested on knee caps too brittle. “So this is how you fall apart.” I say, “this is how you fall apart.” When it isn’t as glorious as others make it seem and the only sound you make is an inner monologue, where you berate yourself. “This is you, you **** of a train wreck example.” And then you stand and you cower at the mere sight of a figure ahead. You tug down the remains of your shirt and you wipe your busted lip dry, like it will hide the cut and bite. You wince once sweat kisses your brow and you hiss like someone hoisted you against a brick wall. You never stand. You never stand and you are excused for cursing. All the ******** the dammits, the batshit *** **** flow out like breath – naturally, an incestuous inhale and exhale of “someone give me that thingamajiggy for the pain!” But it never comes. And you are never cured. And it never goes away, when a quicksand of that stinky pile of unwritten brain farts start farting, one by ******* one. Blessed are the stoic ones, for they glorify aching. ****** are the loud ones, for the stoic ones are deaf.

(There's no) Sweet Pain like Rugby
I'm wearing a straight jacket all over As my fashion statement My body got the memo early That the world wouldn't be able to handle my movement So it doesn't move... Just so that the world doesn't explode from my Awesomeness Eyes are glued to me Like gum to my wheelchair Because I'm fiercer than Beyoncé Some have the audacity to try to berate me Thinking that I'm lesser because I don't succumb to the filth of the floor I won't descend to that level My feet weren't made to stand on this world God knew that only the best would do This world isn't ready for my Heavenly struts Rihanna ain't got nothing on me I refuse to accept my situation as a prison sentence My heavy skin isn't my prison warden It's my accessory for my outfit Even though I'm rolling here I'll not only be walking, I'll be soaring in Heaven So you don't have to give me your discount pity I take cash You may call me a handicap But I call myself a Princess Who can only walk on golden roads.

Love can mend Love can peel at the very corners of your eyes and bury its way in Into your brain being mind and heart Love can cradle and hold and nourish and feed Love can hide away and feel safe Love can breathe But love is not always a familiar face Not always a sparkle in her eye Or a tune in his voice Love can fall Love can break Love can suffer and bleed and scratch it's way back out through your ducts while you wonder why your tears are burning Love can make you feel smaller than the gravel under your feet and more insignificant than a seal that's been broken for the prize Love can literally rip you limb from limb and make you feel like you cannot bear the thought of getting out of bed Love can deflate and berate eradicate obliterate... incinerate Love burns But it burns so good You come out alive Love can make you learn what it's like to be vulnerable Love can make friendly faces feel like home where your tears won't fall but be puddled in their favorite shirt Love can make thrive and lift you back up Love can see through lies but only after it's been lied to Love can feel safe and warm again once it's been left in the cold Love can be real after seeming so empty and meaningless and a waste Love can make you bleed But you'll never be able to leave her You only keep pining for more because she's beautiful You wanna hold her again because some nights she did lay still You need her back because it made you feel real even though you at one time felt nothing at all You hate her but only because you love her Love can grow Love can expand Love is in a car with good music Love is in a bed with warm bodies to feel Love is a conversation that makes you cry Love is a meal that makes you feel full Love is everywhere And she is kind to you You can't find her in those that don't feel her You feel betrayed because love won't love you back Love is not everyone But love is not just another heart attack.

Did you notice the crisis going on outside, It’s terrible really they’re trying to hide Atrocities behind a wall of big lies The badness of this is incredibly sized. So get out and help, you useless **** Shout and whisper you absolute schmuck, March and stamp and tiptoe around red tape, Call it ****** harassment, but I wouldn’t call it **** Donate and berate but most of all- **** THE GOVERNMENT, (Tenderly, like a lover, to not upset the way of things of course.) Why aren’t you looking for missing kids Why aren’t you crying at the dead body Why aren’t you saying what Russia forbids Why aren’t you crying at the dead body Why aren’t you aching from every pore Why aren’t you crying at the dead body Why aren’t you saving all of the ****** Why aren’t you crying at the dead bodies Why aren’t you giving your money to us? Why, aren’t you someone the people can trust? Did you notice the crisis going on within, It’s terrible really, a huge massive din Is crashing and smashing alone in your head You can’t ever stop, unless you are dead. Oh wait, you posted a brightly coloured infographic on your instagram story? You’re good, never mind.
