"brutalize" poems
Honesty: The quality of being honest Look at me directly in the eyes Before you lie When you agonize And dramatize I will analyze And I will realize And Recognize I will not empathize I will brutalize So I would not jeopardize Integrity: The quality of being honest and having strong moral principles With dignity Empathy Without enemies Ethically No jealousy Purity Seeing objectively Respectively Never causing unpleasantries The two go hand and hand Not Separately !!

Honesty and Integrity
Governors, Mayors, Policemen, Night keepers, Men folk and all of you On the crest of powers that be Don’t brutalize prostitutes, Nor mishandle ****** Or terrorize harlots, They were born natural Innocent and callow With plain white brains Not tainted with any miss-morals, Genuine in hearts And humane in the genesis, Until they grew up Beyond father and mother Clan and relatives, Into the realm of money civilizations, Where man and woman, Must sell to survive, Sell the wares of trade, Commodities and tools of work, Where men sell labour of their arms To those crafty buyers, And women sell smiles, And the ******** of their ***** To serve vice of man In the glory of warped thought, Prostitutes have no tribe, Neither class nor race, They have no permanent foe Nor permanent friend, They have no permanent memory, Their love is devoid of logic, They love most but fickle, Where they make no money And love least but with nostalgia where they make money, So don’t brutalize them, Only love them, Pay them, Kiss them fondly And sing to them, Lyrical songs of love, Sent them to lull and slumber With your sensuous ****** Of their ******** fountains, Both male and female ****** of your rendezvous.

DON’T BRUTALIZE PROSTITUTES
How can I Falcon fly While I die In a web of lies Where they brutalize Us like flies We must communicate By connecting To avoid rumors of hate That are infecting The non-inspecting No problem detecting Yet happiness expecting Tyrant electing Issue deflecting Fascism respecting Public that's perplexing So the Internet should remain harmlessly neutral Instead of adding to our economic Kama Sutra Finding new ways to ***** each other Like restricting access to information So we won't hear the screams of our brothers To the rich and powerful's elation Dealing with this pseudo-fame Feels like a burdensome shame In order to listen to people I have to hear them talk But I fall into a deep hole When their ignorance is written in chalk Easily erased But also easily traced Yet not so easily faced Until we're easily replaced By the voices of our oppressors Promising to alleviate the pressure If we'll take a position that's lesser And never ask them to be a confesser Each electorate Must be kept separate And must be made desperate So take away their voices That should limit their choices The rich want to be molding the clay So they say to touch it you'll have to pay I can't sit here and stand it This particular predicament That's beyond my bandwidth Eating this **** sandwich Given by a grand witch So I add the name capitalist To my ******* list Which they seem to agree with They rationalize you have to be an ******* to survive They explain in business that's the only way to thrive Yet get upset when I call them the biggest ******** alive The Internet can do infinite good Yet it is minimized and misunderstood The faithless fathom It as a nameless chasm Made inside our rage filled cabins But they refuse to see the connections The healthy introspection And historical corrections They'd rather use deflection Mentioning mundane memes Or divisive digital teams They see the shell But not the turtle They put us in hell With a data girdle Everybody has the same capability to add to the Internet So they should have equal capacity to use the Internet Sometimes our economic systems make us act counterintuitively To what is fundamentally needed by our species Something humanity has never had before A comprehensive brain that can connect and inform us all We've seen money corrupt the minds of humans Let's not let it corrupt the mind of humanity

I’ve seen the pictures of how my people Was beaten, brutalize just because of Their color. I’ve heard the stories of how our women were ***** the whipped by the hands Of the others. I’ve felt the bruises of that razor blade of A whip as it cuts deep into My beautiful black tan. So now I march along with the great leaders Against racial violence, Me, a Blackman. I’ve heard my mother cry when the future Got dark and cloudy and Poses no hope. I’ve watch my family fall to their knees To pray after trying everything, they could in This world, to cope. I watched my brother sell drug and my sister Her body just to make it through Another day. I’ve heard my friends speak of their prosperity When they sat their pride aside and got down On their knees to pray. I’ve even watch myself become a victim of Society and was left in this lonely world Without a leg to stand. I’ve stood on corners begging for what little Change that anyone had to spare. Yes Me, a Blackman. I’ve heard the rumors of how my people was told To run and then hunted and killed Like a wildered beast. I’ve been told the tales of the rice and gravy Dinners on Christmas my people had, while on Turkey the others feast. I’ve listen to the songs many times over, felt the Heartache that they sang, I’ve cried many Times the same. I’ve heard of how my people toiled in the blazing Sun and worked their over exhausted bodies even More as they were beaten by the rain. Oh yes, I was one of the lucky ones to be born In my day and age because technology has greatly Improved before I was placed On this land, But I shall always remember – my children will, Hopefully, do the same – that no matter where I go Or what I do, I will always be A BLACKMAN.

Not All Men
Godless men wearing back sit within blistering sun. As they carrying their sacred book soaked in an evil not from any GOD.   And they some how get **** **** **** **** for God. As they ironically tell the world that it is blaspheming. Come and join us or be buried alive. Yes come and join us Let us brutalize and castrate your daughter your child. And give your son a gun while we go cut of some heads. As we rip out your heart with blood and violence. And ask you to spit on all love and humanity. As you stand within your shaking bodies you look into the eyes of your wife and only see terror in her heart. You know that you must RUN Thousands of you are swept like the dirt into the sea. Mothers and Fathers crying as children are lost and drowning. Someones baby washed up like drift wood or a log. Cut all with razor wire climbing caged out fences. As a heart cry's I only want a new family home I will polish your shoes wash all your loos. Please they scream we are only human Sorry I don't think anyone is listening.   Westerners wake up lounging on their sofa belly's spilling over their trouser. Stomachs extended inflated from just a little to much extra seconds. Looking on disconnected at those who traveled risked their lives even walked a thousand miles. And some how spill out with their lager down their cheek thieves  ****** and lazy freeloaders. And those who succeed to find a new home some how elegantly find a dignity in being unwanted. And those who failed their perilous path trust in God has left them homeless As they find the west also Godless. As we with a cool glare tell them go back to your guns bombs your not welcome here. Stone face matter of fact immigration explained take your children back. As we try to through them back like babies into a dog or snake pit. SHAME ON US for this frosty reception and cloudy perception I hold out hope for a better conclusion.

Arent we all black butterflies? The outcast of the world, getting brutalize We preach & sing innocent But the system leaves us in abandonment Arent we all black butterflies? They tell us to act civilize So the cops wont atagonize But is it our fault they wont compromise? Aren't we all black butterflies? Constantly being treated like criminals They probably wish they can put us in tunnels Tuck away from society Without taking any accountability

11:00 PM July 7th 2011 Outside Delacorte Theater, Home of Shakespeare in the Park Central Park, New York ~~ What wretched wags we have become, sold rhyme and couplet into slavery and meter sacrificed, upon the altar of expediency. LOL and BRB, the hallmarks of our insincerity, forgetting that civility is resurrected when we employ the poetry of speech in our plain and simple communiques, most especially in the simple, please let beauty hold sway. Brutalize our tongues, thus our lives, compression of our language into single words that celebrate the mundane, as fashionable. yeah, yeah, yeah... Our speech, its fragrance lost, sublimates but does not sublime, one liners demean our humanity,   grunts of yeah and cool, are awesome not, our future hope is in the details of our expression, whereby we inject into our verbal demeanor a grace that sets human above the existence animal. So touch this screen and let us begin, to take our measure by our measure of the care we demonstrate when we communicate. These words have transversed from weekday to weekday, soon at morning prayers to the gods inside of me, David's hymns and poems I'll recite, a slow eloquence will infuse my hallelujah eyesight. Plain truths will be spoke, in rhyme with diction apace, transfuse my soul elevate us severally and jointly above the confused noises of the prison of nondescript lives, leaving me a believer that all's well that begins well.

Lamentations (a psalm)
I am insatiable I am an insatiable disease I have an unyielding thirst for the hearts of men I am voracious I am yearning I am desire I am carnage I suggest you keep your distance I will brutalize you I am transported nightly into the mind of a maniac be cautious of these creatures that stalk my conscious beware of these beasts on a quest for my soul meet me in the land of the midnight sun caress my withered bones but take heed of my hunger, dearest for if you aren’t careful you will fall victim to my wicked appetite

If you don’t bow to their power, If you dare not to cower, They have the right, They have the might, To take you by your head, Crush until you're dead, Then blame it on your meds. You're nothing but a victim, Lost inside a system, Built by ruling class, They tell us not to be so crass?! Got a letter from the feds, Heard everything I said, About tryna **** the state, Refuse to capitulate, Cops are at my door, My feet hit the floor, At more than just a jog, They killed my ******* dog?! You're nothing but a victim, Lost inside a system, Built by ruling class, They tell us not to be so crass?! Righteous only in the mind, A duty so precisely designed, To brutalize neighborhoods that’re undermined, A position historically intertwined, With those who hoisted it on their pride, It’s been revised to assure class conscious demise.

Class Conscious Revival
Caramelized and sugar coated with sweetness Discover the bitter core engraved with crimson Chocolate covered sacrifice, you can taste the bitter spoken love and complete Consume the message as a snack But love and brutalize life with truth Speak the words given Hold the sword that's received Preach nothing but the actions conceived Abhor all left and the answer will come out right Path leads to destruction and obliteration? Grasp the complication Ripple like a pebble smashing water with the thousand significant waves to come Nothing more than the cross and melodious cords that are left to song but right from the start of the one who tore out his heart

Tears flow from a noble place.
Ascending to the second layer, a stench of nauseating breath expands across the zephyr. I attempt to avoid a cough and the opaque fog thickens as we reach an abrupt drop-off. Depicted below are frantic beings who have only the remembrance of anxiety, torment, and panicked feelings hiding amongst the remaining rubble in a soft whisper they beg for mercy, neglecting against their fatal, violent destruction on the vitality of the innocent. The scent swells to an intense sickening along with the dryness of incalescence. A low growl begins to rise! Traveling across the infinite distance, a foul creature comes to brutalize. The petrified beings cower in their hideouts and I hold my breath carefully as three giant, damp, and cold snouts emerge from the heavy smog. A rush of frigid wind washes over and I come to realize, it is the Watchdog. One risks a dangerous error in the act of running to the void, but the motion distracts the devious hunter. He strikes and pins the immoral, viciously tearing the flesh to pieces. Finally, taking him in the muzzle Cerberus violently tosses the limp body for it no longer contains value nor interest. And I ask my Lover very faintly: “What becomes of the one enduring torture?” And he, nonchalantly: “Don’t worry, my dearest. They have yet to regain their composure.” As we escape from the horror below to the unknown exceeding cruel, the dying mortal begins to regrow.

Palestinian children and women attempt to protest apartheid, fighting against those borders and walls, walking towards boundaries where snipers sit settled in to shoot the innocent, and continue freedom's infringement. Soldiers fire to take the lives of those they dehumanize. Two thousand are wounded and fifty plus dead. My government is complicit in these illicit acts of violence. We support and supply the horrible ordinance used to brutalize and end those unfortunate lives. Our politicians spin blood red threads into golden ***** lies and celebrate the bad guys who have no intention of compromising, the ones who go on occupying and terrorizing the Palestinian people. Meanwhile, state supported media guys, are televised to tell us lies, go on air to share a side that shames and blames the victims of new atrocities, by their favorite allies, repeating reports of agitation incited by Hamas, but no one on the Israeli side was wounded or died.

No Such Thing As a Whole Chance - I actually BULLY and Brutalize little half a chance myself, and i feel younger!
Ravage me, Brutalize me, Tear me open, Savage that you are. Wash me in your despair, Submerge me, Drown me completely, let me not breathe, Twisted that you are. The pain...wonderful! Drink the brew I concoct, Even as I wither, you in ecstasy shiver, Savor my pain, as I suffer, Barbarian that you are. Plague me, Strike me, Clutch me tightly, Let me not go, Enjoy it all, the despair, the tragedy, the confusion, the hopelessness, Sip on my downfall, Even as you, Gaze at my depravity. Take it all in, even as you, Delight in my downfall.

Just realize that sometimes, these guys, tell lies; write in front of your eyes. Utilize thier visual lies, to victimize and brutalize people's lifes; your demise, they visualize, like its a prize. When you see it for yourself, you wont believe your eyes. Try Seeing people for what they are; end up, surprised.

True Story
Boredom, as a form of torture is welcome Brutalize us into eager lust for curiosity. Emptiness saturates us without wonder. It's taboo to seek ideals outside of the curriculum. However it's much more fulfilling. The straight jacket we are in-prisoned in cripples exploration and reaching ideals that oppose your own. Stay deaf to those that don't practice what they preach. Or those that sow hatred. This Devine gift we are hardly deserving of must be appreciated. Gained during adolescence we neglect it. Formal operational thought is an ability we are taught to be repulsed by. Ironic due to that ideology being repugnant and wasteful. I've come to tears after realizing our ability to think abstractly is frowned upon by peers and society. Not only in interests of intellect. If you speak of trying to understand real love. Especially around teen spirit. Your a *** A ***** A "freak". Of course these are untrue and you feel no propulsion to disprove them. Why? Because you're not insecure about your beliefs and feelings. You know your strong for that. You also feel confidence in your compulsion to coitus with whatever person you find attractive no matter their gender. As for being a freak, you know your peers haven't slowed down from partying and ******* long enough to ponder what an emotional drain their lewdness is. Besides their physical and mental exhaustion they complain about everyday. Their remedy is to repeat the cycle. Party, **** die. High school is an **** for everyone who's "popular". It is gross to see such a majority of the population waste their psychological ability no other species owns. But through reflection and learning you need to be tolerant. You see it's futile to tell others what to do or be condescending toward them. It would drain you and them due to the repulsive nature of those acts. Offer help and love, empathy and understanding. And stay curious. Intellect Great-fullness Peacefulness Generosity Love Stay curios and learn 5 more lessons on your path of personal growth.

This is a verse for George This is a poem for Philando This is a memory of Oscar Continuing the fight for Malcolm Venerating the wisdom of Martin This is a call to action Even if just a fraction Causes this cause to gain traction For people tired of the inaction The people have spoken And decades have passed Nothing has changed Protesters still getting gassed With years behind them Trying to stay quiet One ****** Two murders A thousand It's no surprise That this protest is now a riot Flames flitting in and out of frame Guns glinting as bootlickers offer more of the same Tin badges holding themselves As above the rest of us I scream in disgust What gives you the right To ****** my neighbors? What gives you the right To brutalize my friends? These fires ignite a memory And makes me sing Noting the similarity To Martin, and also Rodney king I'll stop now My angry rambling I'll leave you with a quote Most would think It was said by Malcolm But it was said by Dr. King It's not absurd He said it "A riot is the language of the unheard" That is the wisdom of Martin That's why we continue to fight for Malcolm That's why I remember Oscar I wrote this poem for Philando I wrote this verse for George

Language of the Unheard
Pretty, ugly, smart, stupid, **** loser, criminal, black, white, perfect, wrong, addict, outcast, normal, and freak. What does it matter? We use stereotypes to classify each other, To separate ourselves into different groups. I remember when I was young that I was never in dresses, skirts, or nail polish, and I didn't like pink. I was treated as one of the guys, and that was how I liked it. Then I got into school, where I was told I was wrong. I was supposed to wear skirts, I was supposed to love dresses, and I was supposed to like pink. I became a freak, an outcast because I didn't. They categorized me, I became nothing more than a title, as did everyone else who walked through the door. We live life and whether we like it or not, When we see someone we mentally sort them and tell them who they are supposed to be. And heaven forbid they don't fit where they should. Because if they don't they suddenly, become nothing more than jagged puzzle pieces, So jagged that they don't fit anywhere and shouldn't be allowed to. Yet here I am, proud to be jagged, and proud to be wrong, Proud to stand out. My mom does more than worship her man, Is she wrong? My uncle is a police officer, Does he brutalize? My Aunt likes wine, Is she a drunk? And I don't like pink, Am I a freak? We go through life being told how to live. Follow the trends, Have the prettiest friends. Don't talk about the things that you've battled, And don't let them see you're rattled. You need to wear this and eat that, And did you see her god she's so fat! Be more like her, And fall in love with him. Because if you don't your chances are slim. If you're not like them you don't matter, Because we have been stamped with our peers' opinions. We've been told time and time again to reshape ourselves. Too bad that our time has passed to change the world, But have no fear for we still have time to change ourselves. Be pretty, Wear pink, Like this dress, Follow this sport, Wear these shoes, Live here, Shop there, And- But what if I don't want to? I am who I am and I'm happy this way! Isn't that enough for you? No, it can't be, because I don't have the right to be just me. I don't have the power to decide! She'll say be taller, I'll have to. He'll say be smaller, I'll have to. They'll say be quieter, I will have to. I will say be louder, And I can't. Because I am a freak. Because I don't like pink.

I was treated as one of the guys, and that was how I liked it. Then I got into school, where I was told I was wrong. I was supposed to wear skirts, I was supposed to love dresses, and I was supposed to like pink. I became a freak, an outcast because I didn't. They categorized me, I became nothing more than a title, as did everyone else who walked through the door. We live life and whether we like it or not, When we see someone we mentally sort them and tell them who they are supposed to be. And heaven forbid they don't fit where they should. Because if they don't they suddenly, become nothing more than jagged puzzle pieces, So jagged that they don't fit anywhere and shouldn't be allowed to. Yet here I am, proud to be jagged, and proud to be wrong, Proud to stand out. My mom does more than worship her man, Is she wrong? My uncle is a police officer, Does he brutalize? My Aunt likes wine, Is she a drunk? And I don't like pink, Am I a freak? We go through life being told how to live. Follow the trends, Have the prettiest friends. Don't talk about the things that you've battled, And don't let them see you're rattled. You need to wear this and eat that, And did you see her god she's so fat! Be more like her, And fall in love with him. Because if you don't your chances are slim. If you're not like them you don't matter, Because we have been stamped with our peers' opinions. We've been told time and time again to reshape ourselves. Too bad that our time has passed to change the world, But have no fear for we still have time to change ourselves. Be pretty, Wear pink, Like this dress, Follow this sport, Wear these shoes, Live here, Shop there, And- But what if I don't want to? I am who I am and I'm happy this way! Isn't that enough for you? No, it can't be, because I don't have the right to be just me. I don't have the power to decide! She'll say be taller, I'll have to. He'll say be smaller, I'll have to. They'll say be quieter, I will have to. I will say be louder, And I can't. Because I am a freak. Because I don't like pink.

How? How do people do it? How do people smile, drive cars, buy loaves of bread, read the paper, go to school, go to jobs, go to church, eat sushi, talk on cell phones, drink coffee? How do they **** **** and ***** How do they get their shoes shined, stand in line, comb their hair, brush their teeth, go to the theatre,   the circus, the carnival? How do they do these things and   so much more when babies, innocent- beautiful babies, are born into this brutal world, where parents die, where feral cats carry off little birds that fall from   the nest, where best friends die, O.D, get hit by cars drowned or die from some strange brain thing. How do we eat chocolate, watch football, and build snowmen? How do we visit the zoo, go to the moon copulate ********** ********** and procreate when hearts still break, Sweet Jane dies. The walk on the wild side ends, and the letters we send get returned? How do they do it , when dogs get hit by   cars, ****** roam the bars, the Dodo’s extinct and wackos still brutalize children? How do people do it? How do they carry on?

How?
His knuckles were knots. Round, tight bunches, Tied roughly, taught By the lessons of men; Who seem only to brutalize The beauty of the body. His heart was chiseled. Stone in the stead of flesh, Fixed to a function. Grounded, Not in hope, but the kiln’s capture. Heat, the blistering rage, resolved In all the hand’s heartless work. His mind was not his. Home; A house of helplessness. Now, The mental mutiny made know. Year's of yearning for youth, only To forfeit all faith of the future, In exchange for hard truth.
