"grabber" poems
A LIFE TORN APART When I first peeped into the world, I deemed it fit for the growth of my miniature. When I peeped again, I trembled with disbelieving eyes at the emergent live labyrinth that stood staring; but then, can an opinion change an existence? Maybe, just maybe As our mother packed and left, our father drove away. We remained hidden in desolate souls. We were striked with a giant of a being called sustenance, which dwelt in providence. Sincerely our begetters ought to have thought of our brilliant futures. We deserved a life, to run the race towards academic heights Just the other day I overheard, my hemophilic father tying the famous knot with a fellow MAN. Then I thought, what would become of my ego? Would I walk with MY head held high facing other heterosexually raised colleagues? Would I even get the strength to chase after the big price? I think not As I grew up, I hoped for an illuminated course. Now I walk in converging paths. After my fore-bearers kicked their ***** apart, I sobbed after my dressed mother, they say. But who could have thought that I would turn into a walking stone? Walking through streets in search of well-wishers, I wished my parents had held onto their existence. She blamed it on lewdness while he held it all upon the mistake of an early pregnancy. Was I born unwanted? Was I smuggled into this existence? I cease to think about it. As a student, I thought my father’s charm the way to go. As a child, my mother’s “generosity” to male neighbors elated me. Now as a parent to be I think, what would my apprehended seed think of my responsibilities? Will I be faced by delinquency? I thought the rod could do a lot to effect change. It never did on me. Maybe I ought to mind the examples that I was given not. With my Progenitor bidden by the feared misfortune, I still sink in the memories of my father, taken away by the same old grabber, HIV/AIDS. How I hate you HIV….I beseech thee to move away from me. I promise my dear life; that I will always run against the traffic. I will ensure I entangle myself not, in a creased heart and walk with head held high. With the hope of giving my bairm, the kind of life that I always wanted

She's the attention grabber Attention all! Her attention to detail Is noticeable Notice not me The attention ***** Lackluster childlike smile Is such a bore The limits are nonexistent Working like a piston Notice me I'm noticeable Do not appreciate My childish jokes I'm here for your entertainment I'm not a hoax Cast a glance in my general direction I'm only looking for alittle affection   I'll yell it at the loudest decibel Notice me I'm noticeable

Lackluster Affection
“Nasty Woman” Olivia Leap In a society where a man can rise to power with statements like: "What did these geniuses expect when they put men & women together?" When asked about military ****** assault, When he can claim that: "the look obviously matters...like you wouldn't have your job if you weren't beautiful." When talking to female reporters, And against powerful women, more qualified than him, one who decides to try and move against him, he mentions her husband "disagreed" with some of her positions, As if the husband had say over her actions. I am proud of my gender. I am a Nasty Woman. I am female and I am strong. I will not accept that one who is so offensive and unqualified as this has any power over my mind. I am a Nasty Woman, And I will stand with my fellow transgender sisters, my cis sisters, my queer and gay and bisexual sisters, my immigrant sisters, my black sisters, my muslim sisters, my minority sisters, my oppressed sisters and we will not step down. I am a Nasty Woman And I will not back down when approached by racists and sexists who believe that the future is somehow going to be better. I am a Nasty Woman Who will not forget that a man can say he would look a gorgeous woman in: "the fat, ugly face of hers" with no repercussions, That a man obviously racist, fascist and misogynistic can somehow sweep through our country and rise to power. I am a Nasty Woman Who is disgusted that someone who states he would date his own daughter if they weren't related Is praised as a powerful man. I am a Nasty Woman Who is deeply upset that people even think of supporting A man who states that all that matters is to have: "a young, and beautiful, piece of *** beside you That a man who obviously shows indifference and disgust for those different than himself and his ideal views, has so much power. I am a Nasty Woman, And I refuse to respect someone who has so little respect for me. I am a Nasty Woman And I can't wait for one year, two years, four years from now when The people will take back our country from a ***** grabber" Who couldn't respectfully hold a debate without dropping the "nasty woman" card, Which I am proud to now carry And will carry forever

Attention Grabber
Trump's covfefe caused a kerfuffle. The people's voice cannot be muffled. A real brouhaha... The Emperor's absurd and yet we hang on every word and he has every right to coin a new word to have his fits of logorrhea to incinerate North Korea to mock the handicapped, women, and blacks to free the super-wealthy from tax to trash the planet rob the poor make the rich richer and do much more.... "President Trump" is an oxymoron. Donald the Chump is a ***** Ooops, Pussy-Grabber's term has expired. It's time to tell Trump: "You're fired."

On Trump's Word Coinage
Our world falls down like a house of cards. And again were forced to build it back up but its never the same. We forget the ace, the eight, and a few of the spades. And it makes a difference. We become indifferent to each others pain at times And time again we retreat to a false sense of intimacy. Which fools us into thinking we love each other Not to say we don’t love one another but **** Why must it always take a trip to the bedroom to feel better? I mean yeah its an attention grabber and hell yeah I’m a go getter but I’d sooner believe it was butter before I think the phrase I uttered to you or you uttered to me had any real meaning, least not while were squirming under the sheets ; only there cause it seems the right place to be WELL JEEZE maybe you shouldn’t ask me my opinion if its hard to swallow. do you want the red one or the blue one? The one that makes you forget or the one that makes you admit that nothing’s perfect, least of all us. Way too fragile to ignore the wind We got to make sure this house doesn’t come down again. Better yet tear it down now (blows) For we need a better foundation. You want satisfaction? Have a little patience for every time we rebuild we go a little higher which means if we don’t fix this soon it could all come tumbling down….hard. and we’ll end up suffocated beneath the cards and the ******** And the longing And the tension will do nothing but **** us. So lets not rush through this. Just a little bit at a time. Level by level Emotion by emotion Trust by trust. Love by love. Card by card. and if we keep at it not only will we set a world record but our skyscraper will scratch the heavens and more than anyone else will leave each other breathless.

Ever think that you matter? That you were gifted, You gift grabber? Tell me, do you take the time To listen to your chatter? Inside your head Thought throws the pitch But there is no Batter And your voice is always louder But your words They never matter! You belch your stupidity over and over From the flaming pits of hell To the furthest supernova Are you the Captian of this ship, You heartless waste of carbon? I've washed better from my feet Trust me, I've done it often

My Mind sprung a Hate leak. (Dollars for Humans)
These devices are better now, elctro charged Saturnine lanterns reflected magnanimously. Let me wait, wait endlessly blue. Sand scatter, hourglass bottom. Like Alan I'd tell you I'm in Rockland with you. Honey, this don't feel the same eye linguistics and the way your body moves. Jump at me in April showers and groove. Damage control, digital and beautiful. Let's see ourselves out of reality, briefly and lose our minds in euphoric agression. Attention grabber, tongue tied neatly.

The Way Her Body Moved
666 PREGNANT TEENS **** *** Got your attention? good. sorry for that hell of a beginning, however, this is big So i needed an attention grabber. heh heh. See what I did there? So then, B.D, whats the news. The news, the really big big news, is that I am alive. though that may not be a big deal to you, it is to me. See, it is because of you, that I live. You, the people of hello poetry. The people of earth. REAL PEOPLE. You! You are keeping me alive. I write, you read.. Right? Our little system here. Its a great one. I am so glad you even decided to read this. Like, you truly are a hero, just. for. that. If you don't feel special, like I often do, well let me tell you something. please? You are very special. You are beautiful. How do I know? Because you are reading this, which is poetry, and poetry, is a beautiful thing, meant for beautiful people, and what do you know?

This is for you, reader. Not to a lover, not to a family member. To you. You pioneer this smile, and for that, I owe you my life.

another poem for the reader (you)
My destiny is becoming quicker I'll bound to be a middle aged litter picker I see the cans and mackie dee's wrap I see the hedges full of crap I walk around the block 'n shake my head I come across discarded plastic 'n shake with dread The old woman waddles with her ID badge I'm on a mission, watch out Madge I envisage buying the remote grabber You know the one that'll make me madder All I need next is a bag To pick up the sea of discarded *** I see an old guy bending over Perhaps he's checking that there is some clover Perhaps he's comes to get rid of blue No, no, no, no he's a middle aged picker too

To be a middle aged litter picker
i’m disconnected from reality and hemorrhaging anxiety i don’t belong here i don’t belong there i don’t know if i belong anywhere anymore and i don’t know if home is a real place or just a wistful concept shrouded in the shadows of other people’s perfect families but i don’t belong here and i don’t belong there this town turned into my town and now i’m wandering the sidewalks wondering where i lost myself was it in the library between the pages of a book i’ll never pick up again? was it in the gas station dropped with my pennies and dimes for an eleven pm cola? or the grocery store somewhere in piles of scratch and dent produce in the bins of beef bones or hidden under loaves of overpriced bread? maybe in the liquor store it got pushed behind forgotten bottles on a shelf so high you need a ladder and a grabber to reach what you’re looking for i probably lost myself somewhere in the cafe on the corner dropped in the oven and burned to a crisp inside the espresso machine covered in a thick layer of grounds and oil under a table or tucked in a stranger’s to go bag or maybe it was simply that i got dropped on the sidewalk kicked to the side with an old beer can and nobody ever noticed maybe i lost myself in what i call my own home in between floorboards or in a crack in the paint but i don’t know what happened and i don’t know how to fix it all i know is that i don’t belong here

Queens
I was jonesing for his rack city Of steezy-splash flavor His stacks on stacks Of million-level magic mantasticness His salivatable splashiness His kryptonite-level kisses Lingered through the seamless streams Of my mindscape My swagger-built heart-grabber My soul-puller groover My Rolex-grade Romeo Had me trapped in an ocean of lust A skyful of hyperdrive highs A thousand-tier thrills Had me feenin’ for his Infinity of warmth On the freeway chasing His dream guy dapper style My mega-trill fantasy Tanked off his champagne game My sunrise flame Overdosed on his head-spinningly handsome masculinity His intoxicatingly enamoring masterpiece He was my jackpot heartthrob FM Spinning top-tier slow jams Through my full-spectrum rainbow mindscape Got my gay dial jammed on man-fever max Sliding delightfully through his Slinky steelo clouds Submerged in his superbalicious paradise

Slam some clam Catch some ****** Pound some mound Traverse the meat purse Heave the wizard sleeve Slip into some snipper Push on the bush Dine on the wavy line Stab at the grabber Lick the prickle Hit the slit Slap the trap Splash into the **** Embellish the crevice Wrench the trench Budge the drudge Sink it in the pink Swish some fish Stir some fur Plunk some dunk Root the coot' Revel in the bevels Loosen the pin-cushion Feel up the lip cup Drop on the crop Press the crest Rout the pout Rub the slick muffin Ride the great divide Stick it in the bald biscuit Brave the love cave Rough up the bunny tuft Power the flower Sock the wallet Ruffle the pink truffle Rock the tackle box

Swim the trim
The Palestinian boy looks over yonder in pain and simmering anger Over the hills a soldier watches his every move While protecting a land grabber, a "returning owner" Where does his deliverance come from PLO ? UN ? HAMAS ? ARAB NATIONS They can care less What happened to freedom he ponders He lost his childhood friend to a sniper's bullet Like Abel's blood was spilled by his kin Ishmael's progeny have stained the ground with their blood Wailing goes on unceasing The value of a Life has never been so little Dispensable, easily done away with But Jannah awaits and Unto his hands, my spirit I commit The boy mutters silently as he makes his way to another funeral.
