"culturally" poems
i'm biracial no i'm not an oreo no i ain't your zebra i ain't the best of both your worlds i ain't mulatto either i am white and i am black living my life with a sense of inequality my race always seems to follow me no matter where i'm at white people have jokes black people have questions my hair appeals to some of you while the rest of you have suggestions who said i needed you to tell me who to be? who said i needed to explain who i really am underneath? striving to be normal and thriving to be equal i just so happen to be a white girl that knows what it's like to be black and that bothers a lot of people my race may not define me but it is apart of who i am so yes i get offended when you refuse to understand that i am what i am black and white white and black light brown complexion ***** curls front to back a strong black woman resides inside and it's she you see a white woman is there but will never be but i never deny my lines culturally because they are me

you used to come home loudly in the dark but quietly in the day we’d be together to compensate we were only in love on Halloweens you in those hundred dollar costumes worth two in material and tiny fingers **** rats and ER surgeons to me with a pop-culturally relevant ******* mask Frankenstein (to the dumb dudes that go to these things) that chisels me like a jell-o mold that blurs her infinitely beautiful walking-away the blooming glances pairing parting lips to talk ******** caking the ***** reeling in our heads winding round the spindle hooked tight pulling my hard-hat plastic-green face to the windmill

To the Windmill
I've done a lot of things I'm not proud of but I can't be tied to those forever so people forgive and forget I try to forget but still feel bad and I know there are still sore subjects that I should be sensitive about. Scrolling through Reddit I see a post of Māori students at an airport greeting their returning teacher with a traditional Māori war dance which was an admittedly sweet gesture but something didn't sit right with me. I wondered why the students greeting their teacher had to do so through a display of militaristic nationalism I wondered if that was the last dance the Moriori people saw before the Māori genocided them for their resources I wondered if the Māori danced like that as they ***** murdered, and cannibalized the Moriori. Wondering all of this made me ask myself: Why did they have to greet their teacher like that? The students wanted to make a big gesture which dancing is perfect for but dancing can also be vulnerable and embarrassing because people may mock how you express yourself but strangers at the airport are less likely to laugh at you if you're doing a synchronized dance with a group of people and the dancing is recognizably tied to national identity because then it's a culturally rich dance you're a xenophobe for laughing at and that's what nationalism is: strength in numbers and a readymade identity in lieu of an individual personality oftentimes for the sake of pistanthrophobia. So as I read the circlejerking comments on the post I wondered what the difference is between a Māori war dance and a **** salute I guess the Māori people have experienced more oppression than Nazis but nationalism is nationalism and those who have oppressed are oppressors and many who are oppressed would gladly be oppressors given the chance. Nationalism isn't healthy for culture and often isolates people from other cultures that are all combining due to globalization which people fight to preserve their little dances and costumes so we can stay in eternal conflict over delusions of supremacy when the only nationality should be a global one.

Pollution of the mind is real. Our minds are cluttered with uselessness. Stories on the street repeated mindlessly. Words describe men and women as animals. We insult the person and demean the animal. We are no longer part of nature, unnatural we are. People are dumb as a donkey, wise as an owl. If a woman disagrees she is a ***** fights, a cat, she is. To be a good mother you have to be a hen. A man is built like a horse he is part of a stable. In times of slavery Black people were animal, soulless. Confusion between humans and animals caused by disconnection. Religions and Politics in ****** use rats to justify: hatred. Jews are told they are pigs, and drink blood. Blood and Pigs are forbidden in Judaism. Culturally socially we repeat mindlessly: slander. Our connection to the earth and animal is lost so is our humanity. Pollution of the earth causes pollution of the mind. The earth cleanses itself by fire and ice. The mind can also: freeze out these concepts these fallacies. Burn the words that are defamation and abomination. Do; yes do this to avoid the fires of hell. Soon, hell will freeze over and become heaven.

POLLUTION OF THE MIND
No parenthetical this time in my rhyme, I'll lie flat the baseline like, Here are my cards, bro. Take a look at them all, bro. Get started with just the light kinds of gospel like, Bro, did you know I got a **** down there? Taken aback you say, What? Bro, did you know I'm packing a tackle, though so modest in stature, bro, instead of a package I joke split/second to cope and still manage to crack a satanic smile as I call my most modest hose a gigantic, titanic **** Word. You got nice lips, still, though, how bout you look up and get down on me, yo? Word is that I handle it with alarming aplomb considering how I present myself to the world. So what I got a culturally appropriated slab of ink tattoo yo. Just a guy trying to get along with the little he's got, and then on top of that I like to slide my **** n stuff. How about me too? Cause I can get down on you if we both repeat **** like we believe it. You got ***** bam, and plump curved fat just as all the girls growing up had, fashionable hair and even a soft face. You, girl, I can bend you over. Sure, be glad to bend you over. Rough riding baring face to the wind on highways I never thought I would be here deciding Do I believe in others' abilities enough to believe that they know me as If they would know a human? Get close, pry in, to my life, you'll find a lion, lonely, dragging coats of molted skin with wire stolen from her other lives, the desperate lioness devours the food she can.

ClamJam: "No Parenthetical"
(For context, I went to...) British Kindergarten in England, French Elementary in Switzerland, International MS in England, French HS, then Int'l HS in Korea, (And then completed...) Undergraduate studies in NJ, USA, 9-month gap year in Hong Kong, Graduate studies in QC, Canada. ------------------------------------------------------------ I have shattered my identity. Frequently. Involuntarily. I have undergone assimilation. Socially. Psychologically. I have encountered discrimination. Directly. Racially. I have endured isolation. Grievingly. Impotently. I have ill-wished on others. Subconsciously. Unintentionally. HOWEVER – I have learned to be human. Individually. Collectively. I have discovered empathy. Emotionally. Compassionately. I have gained knowledge. Culturally. Geographically. I have acquired expertise. Intellectually. Linguistically. I have become a citizen. Locally. Globally. Perhaps we who are born and meant to move, Are intended to, and exist to locomote forever, Walking lands, sailing oceans, mastering the world.

The Pains And Gains Of A "Fifth" Culture Kid
Don't you think it's strange When the countries claim to support Multiculturalism and diversity But so on people go on to say The food you eat is gross It's fine, no need to say it If they offer you some, then simply reject it What happened to acceptance and tolerance When all they seems to compensate for are Western food, do you not feel this way? There are plenty more; The cloth you wear is strange, let them be hijab, burka and so many more The religion you follow is weird, let them be Sikhs, Jains and so many more I don't like your ethnicity, let them be Chinese, Muslim and so many more I don't like your gender identity, let them be female, transgender and so many more I don't like your ****** identiy, let them be gay, lesbian and so many more We are the minority and always under-represented within majority Feeling like stifled, palms sweaty as we know we have target behind out back Identity we have and must continue to protect For that's what makes who we are But to which standard are we conforming to? To which standard are we assimilating to? (why don't you fill in the blank, as plenty people knows, western rules and the majority are cruel) They said we had free will, a human right from democracy But societal pressure comes and claim the right to express culturally So I ever so hate the country and the people For all the promises seem to turn out to be broken People cry out for them to go back to their original countries when they have just like others, earned their right to stay when they have no place to go back to, only in their head

Once I looked to the Bard for words profound; ageless, his wisdom ran unabated. Yet Hamlet is now ideologically unsound, “the slings and arrows” historically Iocated. I wept for the creature of Frankenstein, spurned by his master, forced to roam the Earth. But I’d been subjectively positioned in a paradigm by Mary’s anxiety about childbirth. I read Balzac, Hardy and Henry James describing “worlds” which seemed quite sensible. Now Eagleton’s exposed their bourgeois games I find them morally reprehensible. I dreamt of being Robinson Crusoe or proud, fierce Hawkeye in his buckskins dressed, but Fenimore and Defoe have to go, they’re culturally encoded and empirically obsessed. Inspired by Guinness, did James Joyce sit down to see what magic flowed when he was ****** The stream of Ulysses floats Bloom-about-town dreamthinkingnever : “I’mamodernist”. I’d gladly give Woolf a Room of Her Own and be one of the boys with Hemingway, but sensitive guys leave their bulls alone say de Beauvoir and Luce Irigaray. No more fun with Wordsworth being daffodilly, no simple pleasure reading Mickey Mouse; Steamboat Willie can’t help but look silly dissected by Foucault and Levi-Strauss. The Bible shows intertextuality says the two Jacques, Lacan and Derrida. Judas, a construct of bisexuality? The **** fixations of Herod are? It’s got so bad I deconstruct a holiday brochure. I can’t even **** without Roland Barthes and Ferdinand de Saussure.

Because it's really ******* degrading to put your work everywhere, often times for free, and to not even get **** back. I'm also really ******* sick of teenagers. Yeah, that means you too. Here's a poem called, **** the Patriarchy!"; "Someone told me it's just as reasonable for men to fear **** on the streets, as women. I've been dropped into place and now I realize I'm a radical feminist. The kind of feminist people check for under their beds at night. The unapologetic type of feminist who doesn't believe in a "loud minority" of men haters, but an eager audience listening for them. The kind who doesn't play for your culturally and historically  inept ******** The uncompromising feminist. Patriarchy is a cage, feminism is my hammer; I'm not trying to get out, I'm going to **** this place up".

What will happen here? Do we know how to love Or how to live? FOR WITHOUT LOVE THERE IS NO LIFE --- Love is NOT For --falling into--- Or ----out of---- -- It is NOT An emotion .. It is an Enlightened ACTION (Not reaction) -- Love! -- It is not a game in which You Hurt someone As a means of Easing your own pain And sense of humiliation You feel within a phony Peer pressure That has captivated you culturally! -- I know my poems are ----IN VAIN -- But it's hard to sit here silently Listening to you DIE (Not--cry For you don't really express True meaning Or true pain) -- And you don't really Try to help one another But merely re-inforce The sense That the false culture is real And that the suffering therefor is unavoidable! Thanks for nothin! _ I love you all But Truly Hence the sense That it is A meaningless thing to do

----for humanitarian purposes---
Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response It is quite mysterious the origin of such pleasure Common is the multi-culturally adopted belief That large fractions of massive populations Label themselves as insomniacs If anything this newfound viral sensation May very well exist to cure insomnia ASMR comes in a variety of different sounds That help to release melatonin and aid the body in sleeping Such sounds include inaudible whispering, gum chewing, table scratching, match lighting, Ear to ear whispering, tapping, brushing, and crinkling. These sounds are beautiful, inventive, ground breaking and a relevant discovery Within the continuous cycle that is known to us as evolution A vast majority of us have talking brains Some of our brains talk more than others Resulting in sleep deprivation on numerous occasions We have been given a unique, sensational gift That aids those in times of misfortune and grief That aids those in emotional tribulation Though it is through this global phenomenon and it is through these talented individuals that we are able to possibly if not entirely conquer said debilitating times A way to persuade peace amidst a callous world That is what ASMR means to me

ASMR
Looking through a complex eye poisoned by countless vials of nitroglycerin the world sings a familiar tune of an ineradicable human urge for lethal conflict. A world view of culturally intolerant tyrants and a place where Robin Hood does not exist, instead his former self sits wallowing in the tragic misadventures of human dignity. Society now aids the pauper, who is but a superficial vagabond sitting intrigued by hopeless people from distant lands. As the innocent of Beirut lie murdered the reaper tastes regret, while bank accounts paint self portraits instilled by ephemeral yet righteous morality. Dangerously speeding through the lanes of life to make it home just before it rains; the world all encompassing is never the concern. Halos hover above diet pills dressed in simple linens for everything is an easy fix; lies, hatred, ignorance, and blatant evil, all can be fixed by ignoring the even lies (the even lines that lie above).

Dissonant Livelihood
The curse of a great, well-known or (at least) culturally interesting family. Heralded at birth to mimic similar (or even, surpassing) social feats of achievement/wealth/renown. Instead manages to underpasses even  mundane non-impressivenesses of second-generation parentals. I See them, smirk or folly with time, silently. ....which they seem to quite often. Biding weekend with multitudes of varying categories of "friends" and sweethearts who never seem to stick around too long All aware, of course, of the famous family lineage Themselves, instead after lifetimes where first words, senior infants homework, cheerful accusations of mischief and certificates of age-appropriate health were lauded as signifiers of a future onslaught of fulfilled capabilities emerge as providence's lackeys– and meekly, to be Written out of History One by One by One. II Talent is frequently a despairing life-cycle for people who witness and go without. III But what price success? Is it to be counted in public or left behind in wreaths? Stern evidence of favour, fought for and won or shaky good fortune One life's profitable fluke IV Does the cost of success itself admit backstories of other kinds of loss that children without the chance of ever knowing or changing their inheritances of fate are powerless to cease the flow of their own anonymity all for the insistences of the unarguable and for merely treading the average?

I am pleased, might finally speak about my witch friend share with you some of her wits and trends Masters today desecrate the truth, meditation and visualization are nothing but outdated tools Culturally, relatively free i write fearless, Contemplation overcomes meditation, Spirituality conqueres religion , I formless, will not abide to your anticipations I renounce my knowledge and education Transparency , revolution, Love works, It has been scientifically proven We are what we think Thoughts procure reality it has been confirmed quantum physically So what's your excuse? take control and imagine the best version of YOU Imagination is the key to reaching everything and beyond Words Of Harfouchism

Imagination is Key
You have failed to accept the truth Here you are following their semantic rules Playing the role of a social robot One that is being brainwashed non stop It has become a form of art That ripped your thoughts apart Indulged you in its pratices Wrapping you around its clutches While you rest, they create your reality Making their words your best rhapsody When in fact, it's just a treading enemy Reinforced linguistically and sanctioned culturally You work hard towards the prosperity of the opressor And to those who dare fight, you take extreme measures You have a lopsided point of view of a rigid world Yet you do nothing to change it and appear undisturbed Isn't it time to emancipate yourself aginst such actions? Form your own truth and make your own decisions? Educate yourself and free your mind Leave what you thought is the truth behind.

Mental Slavery~
I was going to write a poem about the distance I walk girls to their cars. You know, to the door? down the stairs to the front porch? out to the first step for that last, awkward hug? do I really like them? Am I concerned for their safety or is this just the obligatory, socially and culturally acceptable distance for me to walk with this particular individual? Did I even get out of bed? Is the distance I walk directly proportional to the amount of feelings I have for that person at that time? Or does time of day or night play into it? Do I actually walk them all the way down the hill to where they are allowed to park, if they are a one nighter but it is 3 a.m.? Or perhaps to the end of my lawn, at the opening of my small, rickety, barely noticed fence, which keeps nothing in or out, to hold them so tight that they know, they just know with every molecule in their essence that I am theirs, all of me, and that I do not want them to leave but if they must, I shall be waiting eagerly with every molecule of my essence to breathe them in again, to feel them near me again, to smell their sweat again? I was going to write about that. But then I thought, why not write about your plants? I realized the other day, while watering my various plants, six in total, that all of them had been given to me. They were all gifts. By women. My dear mother, both of my beautiful sisters, two rotten ex-girlfriends of mine, and a kickass lesbian friend I met through somebody that got walked to the front porch. Surely there must be a poem in there somewhere, I thought. With all the females and the *** and the plants and soil and life and all that other ******** surely I must be able to conjure up something beautiful, something wonderful and profound and bewildering and inspiring and all that other ******** but sadly for you dear reader, all I could come up with was this piece of **** you just read. The good thing is, I didn't write this for you. I wrote this for me. I have to.

Through cold New England January's air I saw him (Frost) squint,                                           iconic from across the East Portico,                                                  culturally symbolic on a platform above me (I was twenty-eight). Years later I knew the paper he held hard to read, his hotel's old typewriter running low on ink                                  the night before. The illegible poem a preface to the one Kennedy requested - the one he'd read years before (ca. 1942) in the Virginia Quarterly Review,                                                         eyes watering. Frost stood there, faltering in the new-fallen snow's reflective light, half-blinded, and I was twenty-eight as I thought, "Kennedy:                   cultured man,                                            sycophant, or...?"

The Old Man Remembers Kennedy's Inauguration
The first word in Arabic You ever taught me Was Aoheb: Love, Spelled G-I-V-E The kind that I forgot what I was When I felt you holding me. But only privately. Like crossing the street, We look both ways Before our hands meet. Because even though it's okay for me Culturally.. We don't do that Until we're married. But just like The next words You taught me, Ana fahemt: I understand. Like that time I called you a beautiful Woman.. You got so mad because You want to stay a girl forever. Baby, I never Want to grow up Together I want to grow in. So give me a garden To come home to Give me a heart I can roam through When it's 3AM And both of us Have **** to. do. One day, When we're tired Of learning each other's language You can call me Frankie, And frankly, I'll fly you to the moon. Give my very breath to you I'll keep you so warm In my arms that baby, Your blood will boil. And I don't mean to spoil the fun But could you please put that Super cute face of yours away? Because Your smile, Is so bright Solar radiation Needs sunglasses. And even though You're sweet as molasses I don't think that Nasa's Satellites can handle that Amount of sunshine right now. I think "Ana bufuker." ...really? .. "Ana buhfucker?.. Whatever.. Ana bafaker: I think, Google translate is awful. Especially when it involves Conversations with your Your dad and me Because honestly I always think I'm gonna Say the wrong thing At the wrong time. And I always just end up Saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. But somehow you always Seem to know how to read my mind. So Habiby. Aomry. Hayaty. My love, My life, My age... ...And the rest of the poem is none of your business. Truly. It's between that girl and I. But I will say this though: We don't talk much anymore And I'm not really sure why. But I know that Somewhere out there, In-between all of the ******** Of our daily lives; There is a girl that Is going to speak my language.

Lost within plain sight. Heart rhythms of sinus gone to tach my heart beats for what? So lucid and everquestioning just taking space in my mind questions unanswered drifting in the universe lost within plain sight Minds racing. Here is the future, so out of reach. Culturally deceived truth; it's all relative. Society smells of it, lies and ludeness impacting. Exposed indefinite maliciousness life and the revelation therein, being ever lost; within plain sight
