"diangelo" poems
Stevie Wonder said it wonderfully
Ebony and Ivory.....
We should look to the piano
As an example
Of the beauty we can create
When we look past bias and race
And work together in harmony
Our heights would be limitless
There are no stars we couldn’t reach
For together is community
Walking hand in hand
Would create a bond
Impossible to breach

24 hour news cycle
Serving us propaganda
Like it’s a proper meal
While we starve for proper news
They make money off views
We think shouting from our
Moral mountain top
Is the best way to teach a lesson
But we are the ones being schooled
Our compass has our attention
Pointed in the wrong direction
Not because we are fools
But because we are too busy
Binge watching our favorite show
To see the hidden clues

Colors have faded away
All I see is shadows and shades of grey
There’s a man’s silhouette up the way
I hear faint whispers permeate
I wish his words crisper
But his voice is more distant
With each step he takes
I can hardly make it out
So I try to chase him down
As he walks the other way
I struggle to catch a glimpse
His stride looks eerily familiar however
I feel like I’ve known them forever
Wait that can’t possibly be
That silhouette is me
Or a symbol of what I will become
If I let my dreams drift away
So I refuse to succumb
To passiveness in any way

There is something very soothing
About the beauty of a sea of stars
Sprinkled throughout the sky
Shining so bright
Lightening up the night
Whether you are reaching for the stars
Or gazing from afar
The energy they generate
Can reach out and touch your soul
It can rejuvenate your life
Fleet your ill thoughts
And make that moment feel just right
Whether you are wishing upon a star
Or hypnotized by the way it transcends light so far
It’s easy to be awestruck by its presence
It’s magnificent
Omnipresent
Its beauty is infinite
Every second of every day
That beauty is being shared
With someone somewhere

It is incapable of lying
Its brutal truth is frightening
Its honesty is refreshing
Standing before it requires courage
Because it’s a reflection of you
IT IS A MIRROR
And Looking at it and believing
What you see
Is one of the bravest things
You will ever do

If ever you happen to lose your faith
Look to fate
Like love at first sight
Or the miracle of life
To rejuvenate
If ever you happen to lose your way
Then close your eyes
And let your heart guide
You through life’s maze
If ever you happen to need a friend
Turn to someone willing to lend
A shoulder...a ear......a hand
To help you through your circumstance
It takes a lot of pride to do it yourself
But even more in courage to ask for help
And a bigger person to lend yourself
Regardless of whether we help
Or are being helped
Because the perseverance of life
Is the greatest accumulation of wealth

You speak a universal tongue
Recognized all over the world
Your silence speaks volumes
Though absent of words
Your message is loud and clear
Without being herd
All that’s required
Is for the eyes to observe
You can ******
You can inspire
You can reduce
Sometimes you are a lier
Other times you tell the truth
Your are BODY LANGUAGE
And often the first form
Of communication used
