"misuse" poems
I was a caterpillar , before I became a butterfly . The pain I had to endure in order to transform into the beauty I am today . This is my tale . In the forest there was, My cocoon wrapped in the finest silk, With a power to live in a colorful world. To dream and conquer goals. A Vivacious soul spinning in the purest silk Growing and maturing as I spun. Wishing for freedom with my beautiful wings, Counting the days to be free and soar as a lively butterfly until You winded into my community Lured my queen and her uneven monarch. Tempted to sabotage my purity. For that you, Lured yourself into my vulernable cocoon with that trust, you decided to disrupt my process. How can one man ruin my nesting site? And I had faith in you , to be a figure I never had. I wanted. My heart ached for it. I needed it. To be loved . To be nurtured. To never be like those stray dogs looking for a home. This was the moment . Where.... Innocence stripped, heart captured. My Freedom gone. You were naive to comprehend On what you were doing... You would stab my cocoon with your sickening poison . Over and over you stabbed . Ruptured the veins of my innocence . To break my finest silk . Purity banished. Stabbing your poison was Making my cocoon useless , worthless , unwanted, colorless, I tried to run and I tried to scream but I was devoured by this poison It was the love I deserve. Couldn't escape , numb to the pain For every poison injected, I began to Question God? Where was he ? when I shed out a tear of help. Where was he? when my cocoon was destroyed. Was I loved God? when I muffled help in your name. I hated myself , I stay in my cocoon afraid to see my future. I wasn't going to be a beautiful butterfly Battered Butterfly My life seemed to be colorless No one wants a battered butterfly My life.... It seemed it had ended when poison sunk onto my helpless body . No one wants a battered butterfly Imprisoned to these chains. Being poisoned every night by different Predators. Oh God.... Those predators ... Battered lifeless little butterfly Was I ever loved in my nesting site? But then again nobody loves a battered butterfly How can I reach to heaven when I was worthless. Believed I was a vile ***** Tricked into a poison of hell. Battered Ugly Butterfly ***** Little butterfly*. There was no light in tunnel There was no holes in my silk To escape this poisonous nest. Why? Because I believe nobody wants save a battered butterfly How can the man I trusted ruined me. I thought you could be the one to complete my lovely monarch . To complete the missing piece. But you continued to misuse me. To haunt me. To barricade my heart To own my soul But one thing I can truly say You never once won over me. You never imprinted my change. I endured your pain That was a sign of God To show me what strength I am capable of. That was the light that I found, You had no control to inflict pain anymore. Because I became impervious to your pain. I am a beautiful butterfly reigning over my monarch with no thought of you. That is my freedom

Battered Butterfly
I was a caterpillar , before I became a butterfly . The pain I had to endure in order to transform into the beauty I am today . This is my tale .

Poverty Blurred Pigments of Red and blue Bring to mind the police Responding to our crises Aptly and alert Though upon arrival It’s pure brutality… They oppress and beat Abuse and misuse Break our spirits Lowering us deeper into this Depression… No… it’s and economic Recession… In which inequalities are abound For the rich stay rich While the poor fall hungry And We… The… People…. Fall beyond Poverty… Straight Through The misguided… Rage of the government… And Deeper than just a simple Economic Inequality… We’ve Reached The Poverty Stricken Greatest Recession….

Poverty :(
People cheat, people lie To get ahead or just to get by. They do it out of deemed necessity or have made it a successful habit. Some would feel bad, but some wouldn't lose sleep over it. Some lie to protect... Some lie to infect... With little remorse or full blown guilt. Either way risking all they've built. A lie is an accessory that most tend to abuse. A convenient mask for the ugly truth that most would misuse. Lies are... The bane of relationships Destroyer of trust... Conveyed by irresponsible lips. So have I ever lied? Have I ever desecrated honesty's pride? Have I ever wielded it to save others from harm? Have I ever employed it to boost my charm? No I haven't, now that's a lie... Spouted that so easily, I didn't even need to try... Honestly, YES I HAVE. **I am no exception... I am no saint, I'm only human**... with an ill sense of direction. I have lied... How about you? Search deep inside... You know you have too...

Have I Lied?
I can see Cecily's ****** bars. Sammy can see them as well. After he speaks I keep catching him peek. She knows that he sees, I can tell. Bailey has smoked too much **** again. He's dribbling over my shoes. He acted all jokey And tried out smoke me. It went without saying he'd lose. Tom's on the floor by the table. We don't know if he's alive, Hugging Joe's feet, Who is slumped on the seat. I don't think they're due to survive. Chris had a couple of pills. Ethan a tab or a few. Toria's tweaking, Max is just peaking, Matt's throwing up in the loo. I'm on the sofa while writing, Louie beside me in tears. We may have our issues With drugs and their misuse, But **** it, it gives me ideas.

Friday Nights
Girly. You call me girly. When I wore pink, You called me girly, And said I was trying to be "the stereotype of femininity". I just wanted to wear pink. When I wore a skirt, You called me girly. Said I was just trying to impress boys and be slutty. When I went out with a boy, You called it "the death of feminism" And when I cried, You laughed and said "Cry, then, girly." I- wait. I am a girl. If I am a girl, I must be girly. And so you must be girly too. Since when has being a woman been a slur? All these angry ****** women, Trying to make their taunts noble, By hiding behind a noble title that they don't hold- Feminist. They simply like to taunt, shame, bully Other women, who don't fit into their archetype of ****** insecurity and violent jealousy. They don't care about the sexism, that goes on daily, Internationally, globally, yet never seems to end. Oh no, they do not see the bigger picture. You do not see the big picture. It's just you against another girl, And you trying to justify your actions By misusing that word, That word you just love to misuse, Feminism. So go ahead. Call me girly. I'll be glad, I'll be proud. You just called me a woman.

******* child born from ***** parents ***** female dog, wolf, etc. Men are called ******** and women are called ******* So with that in mind- I’ll put this into verse and rhyme. There was a ******* named Bill, who would walk His ***** named Jill. Now she would love to lay or play And this would go on every day. Then when his ***** would go into heat He would give his ***** a treat. He would allow her to put her scent all over town So that the others would know that she’s around. Now Bill being a fatherless child- would sit around and laugh awhile. (With the definition of these words being known)    I must ask this! Why would you put your ***** on the street? When there are so many others she’s bound to meet. She will leave you in a flash, because she doesn’t need Anyone to wipe her *** there has to be a line of respect don't you know this yet ? YOU are fatherless and what are you about to do Is creating a litter just like you. So why do we use these words as profanity? That is not the way it was meant to be! HA HA     ENJOY YOUR DAY

misuse of words
# Sitting here in front of this screen my Artist Peppino, across my thigh— (the greater, for the time being, giving way to the lesser) One day, I will be able to breathe life into your strings, my love… the way I do words onto paper. And on that fine, glorious day I will no longer need these cheese-dick, stupid ******* online poetry sites to bring forth the music of my soul. Nor will I continually need to wade through this never-ending barrage of classic hiders and their bastardization-like misuse of poetry— in order to hide behind the very words that should be given the permission to make them become, truly known. There are those who thrive on this.. this currency of curated words, seduction dressed as scripture, all twisted into the soft ropes of poetry to bind the vulnerable, to rob the soul of its own infusion.. the self from the soul, the soul from the self.. *--until all that remains is the quiet, starving shell of a heart displaced, an identity diluted, left wandering inside the sociopathic intent to truly bastardize poetry’s life-giving potentiality into nothing more than self-indulgent gain--* always at the cost of the reader, who, starving for something real, somehow falls for their twisted game. **** eh.. There is no alone-ness within the magnificent resonations of the perfectly plucked string of the most perfect, of guitars. Like this one, sitting right here in my lap. #

The way that poetry can **** us all, to death
Life's pleasures painfully pass leaving, Foreign feelings to fulfill my fantasies. People plagues themselves - profound professionals. Lonely Love is our generations epidemic. Mission is to make money and misuse morals, Serving success somberly on silver spoons. Indulging in insecurities is hard work, Dumb decisions is our generations epidemic. Love is a limp language, lust's legacy is forever, Trash transcends to trends, don't tech the toddlers. Confusing emotions corrupt my kindness. Selling selfishness is our generations epidemic.

Alliteration Epidemic
Simplicity in three little words That I regurgitate so profusely Words as free as soaring birds Used by the brave and the mighty. Three little words that two bodies would declare Every so often when the heart so desires Whispered lightly like the wind in your hair Or shouted out loud like brimstone and fires. These three little words shouldn't be taken very lightly For in it lies the power to move, most regal a mountain Squander not its meaning, until you have proven worthy Misuse it not, until you've known for certain. First word refers to the being of self Third one suggests the existence of another Middle binds the two like nails to a shelf Middle defines the two as they're made for each other. I've used these words many a time in the past Then I know not, of it's sacred binding potency I've learnt now through time that they would last I've learnt this through a hidden path of discovery. Now it's value stares me right in the eyes Piercing through my mind, body and heart Baring itself, shedding it's cloak of disguise First time in my life, I saw a brand new start. I am neither brave, nor am I mighty I have felt it so great, I know it to be true These words resonate with conviction within me Clear echoes from my heart, it said, "I love you".

Three Little Words
She was a flower, Blossoming in each direction she stepped. A flower tucked in a rose woven sweater. She grew thorns to protect herself from those whom sought to misuse the essence of her beauty. The spread of her fragrant bud, spreading her petal in the midst of where she stood. Paying no never-mind to her roots, her petals withered. Applying water to everywhere accept where it was needed most. They continued to pass, her sweater now dingy. The ***** of different fingers, she no longer swayed the same. A season of orange and red leaves. Then came the winter. Hard but fair Robbing her of all the beauty she possessed. It was when her petals fell that she remembered what mattered most

A Rose Bloomed
A World in which free Thought is demonized is a World seized by Demons A World in which free Worship is demonized is a World bereft of Sanctity A World in which division of the One is glorified is a World hopelessly mislead A World which glorifies demonetization is a World within the dominion of Hell A World with such abidance towards Evil may as well, itself, be Evil but, ultimately, what is Evil but knowing misuse of potential? Energy is all that is. Matter is but crystalline Energy (and people say Science isn't mystical) God, Tao, Zen, Allah, YHWH, Brahman, Zeus, Jupiter, Ammon, Mars, Ares, Týr, Horus, Kali, Mixcoatl, Aphrodite, Athena, Venus, Minerva, Isis, Ceres, Demeter, Freyr; whatever you want to call the ineffable Energies is just fine by me, but I maintain the only Evil is the intent to misuse that Cosmic Energy, whence all was given rise, and thereto all shall return, for, truly, it never left that Divine state; that supple, ephemeral, dreamlike Being-ness. Hello. Welcome back to Now: Carpe diem.

...and He saw that It could be better
In long lasting fortitude is the fight of the astute. A lot of effort is made towards the war of the moral. And a race towards life is the route. Preparing the endless fit of strength of all. There is he who is choosing his fate. Working hard despite all opposers’ bait. There is he who is choosing life. Working hard despite all opposers’ strife. Lost in the dirt, seeking out of the ruse. Forced towards the light, brighter and rife. No letting up despite the refuse. Clean is the proud, and happy, the player of the flute. A rite of passage for all is the praise of the immortal. War is the only dispute Death is not fatal. The renegade does not enter the gate. He is stuck outside the city, and left without state. The renegade does not know his wife. He is stuck at heart and can’t even play a fife. In the dirt he is and is with a lot of abuse. He cannot escape the knife. Cut, cutting up despite the accuse. Reality is but the face of cute. Subjected to falsified doctrine and the immoral. It is callous and as rotten fruit. Moxie exists with everyone no matter how small. Can the one who is happy learn to hate? Only he or she can solve this debate. Finally the long absent sky above the Alewife. Can’t say that I have seen such teeming wildlife... Swimming in a sea of its Muse. The lowly continue their sighs But I do proudly diffuse. .This plight of mine is hard to toot. Exemplified by my emphasis on the astral. With which I dress in an armoured suit. So my enemies do not mute my oral. and the skies do tell in high rate, How esteemed they are on time and ne’er late. But giving ever virtuous despite All those dead or dying, without prospect of afterlife. It is their way to choose: The dark abyss of guise, (or) The gentle river of blue For now I do keep silent, But still I commute, With those of higher propositions and goal, So I do instill thyself a deeper root. In the waterbed truly formal. Those who truth ‘I do navigate’ and those of lies ‘I do alienate’ At a loss O’ man or mesmerize, Work harder on thoughts than just plagiarize. The foes of old are still and sleuth I show them love and they in lies are baptized Tradition is there with purpose, don’t misuse. I see to it the wise stay wise, For better they will strategize. And the unwise, wisdom they will pursue. Giving them their much needed paradise. And the lost I will use.

The pen, they say, is mightier, but is it keener than a knife? This brittle blade of insolence, unleashed to lash at life. 'Yeah, innit, Bruv, he got right up in my face, cos my phone was out in lesson time and he called me a disgrace. Like, so, whatever, mate, I told him where to go, trying to tell me English, while I'm textin' my new hoe.' The pen is not mightier, it is tarnished and obtuse, a vision of a different age, wrought blind from its misuse. Its sapling song of innocence, split south across the grain and cast across the classroom, yanked up and lobbed again. 'Do you get me, Blood? He was pointing at a seat, expectin' ME to sit there, as if it were a treat. I told him where to stick it and called him out a clown, I **** this one-way death pit as I'm walkin' round and round.' The pen should still be mighty and not a strangled stream, that's crawling up an incline, like an M. C. Escher dream. Its muddy banks lie dormant, both acorn and an oak. 'Cut that **** you KEENO, let's **** off for a smoke.'

An Education
Yesterday was a rotten one For Donald Trump. What a shame! In desperation Trump has jumped Out of the frying pan into the flame. His friend and former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, was convicted On eight felony counts, although More convictions had been predicted. Then his lawyer, Michael Cohen, Pleaded guilty on eight counts And implicated the president In a felony, as the tension mounts. Trump is an unindicted co- Conspirator in a federal crime, According to Cohen--something that many Have suspected all the time. Also, an early supporter in Congress, Hunter Duncan, was indicted For the misuse of campaign funds. Do all who touch Trump become blighted? Meanwhile, Omarosa says She has many more tapes to play. It almost seems as though the president's Teflon coating is wearing away. As Trump's Republican defenders In Congress flat out refuse to condemn Trump's actions, people wonder, "What does Putin have on THEM?" "I always hire the best people," Donald Trump would frequently boast. Stay away from Donald Trump Or you, too, are going to be toast. -by Bob B (8-22-18)

A Bad Day
Stitched into this sac of skin at birth. That fused to your bones Fabricating a narcotic seamless facade We pluck at the seams, with crude claws. Laboring to unravel the lace seams In vain Whirling, flickering, suffocating nausea aimed at Misuse of our pronouns of Our echoing repulsive abnormal figure. Funding a doctor to shed our skin. Mutilating skin and bone to perfection. For self-acceptance.

Wedding Vows (Spoken Word)
Consisting of grown, persisting as shown and unknown. Insisting entities, rivalries and sworn enemies! Deformed, forewarned, formed, informed, mourned, performed, reformed and scorned. Dates of great storms! Family tree of hate, horns and thorns. My family tree of gore, horror, more, poor and sore. Perhaps of mishaps galore. Briefly sit back! I’ll roughly take you back… Heck! Back to a time of attack, blacks, slacks and whacks. My family tree of practical, tactical, methodical Aztec. Some beckon and reckon in seconds. A family tree of crime, grime and rhyme. A nation of communication, dedication, dissemination, motivation and procrastination. The splendor of sin of my corruptive, disruptive kin. They rely more on the color of one’s skin. My family tree of abuse and misuse that misuses and seduces! Family tree of warfare and welfare legalities, moralities and family-prodigies. Picture this scriptural twist! Some assist on a kiss. I insist some are idealities in social technicalities. Alcoholics, diabetics, ****** exotic, fantastic, Catholics, eccentric, horrific and poetic. I persist… some gnomes, some roam, some in poems, some with no homes. My family tree of adventuresome, awesome, handsome and troublesome. My family tree of beautiful and bountiful! Some are a handful some handicap some locally and vocally-rap. Some slap, gift-wrap and yap! Some are snuggly, pretty, witty or ugly. In my family tree, some crippled, some with pimples, some with freckles and some that heckle. Some belittle and little, some wrinkled and old. Some are bold and pray to the lord! Some are Frio, meaning cold we were told. Some I say, are poor with no Amor. Some are here no more, in my family tree of Amor.

Where has it gone? I used to be good, I used to be a poet, Who could fine the words and pick and choose, I could tell you my story and make it relatable, I could make you feel any emotion and make it real. Where has that gone, where is my fire my imagination? I was the best, And Please I know, its arrogant but I do not mean to deceive, Even the famous ones, they bore, but with me everything became lore, So much accolade, so much triumph, Born under skill and pain the mightiest, But it’s disappeared, From misuse and disrespect. Hopefully hiding, realistically gone. There is no magic cure no band aid for my loss, my pain. Do no be me, do not second guess. No longer regret, don’t fret. Just go and write your soul, Don’t forget it, don’t let it pass, Release it let the talent and emotions flow. Because one day it will be gone, And your lone talent no more. And your going to be alone, Without even the words to implore.

Where Has It Gone?
I want to be a king, Not the king who wants to boast with the title attached to his name; Not the king to whom only exercise of power and authority is his aim; Not the king whose work is only meant to bring him fame; Not the king who will blame others but himself will he not blame. I want to be a king, The kind of king whose heart is broken when his people are in pain; The kind of king who considers the comfort of his people as great gain; The kind of king who will ensure that his people are never slain; The king who will encourage love among his people but hate he will restrain. I want to be a king, Whose interest is to search diligently to find something vital to do in a man’s life; A kind of king who will fight immorality and would not desire another man’s wife; A kind of king who will encourage peace among his people by authorizing that they put away strife; A king who could deprive himself of comfort if it means providing his people with a standard life. I want to be a king, The kind of king whose desire is not to be served but to serve; The king who will not withhold the wage of the poor but pay every man exactly what he deserves; The king who would rather die than see others starve; The king who will not divert or misuse the funds in his nation’s reserve. I want to be that king, Who will win the trust of his people only by being trustworthy; Who will place the interest and livelihood of his people firstly That king who will always represent his people by acting and speaking justly; The king who for the sake of the innocent, bring to judgement the guilty.

I want to be a king, The kind of king whose desire is not to be served but to serve; The king who will not withhold the wage of the poor but pay every man exactly what he deserves; The king who would rather die than see others starve; The king who will not divert or misuse the funds in his nation’s reserve. I want to be that king, Who will win the trust of his people only by being trustworthy; Who will place the interest and livelihood of his people firstly That king who will always represent his people by acting and speaking justly; The king who for the sake of the innocent, bring to judgement the guilty.

Tap, Tap… Tap, Tap Morse code at its finest Each time pencil drops A resounding click is made Marking letters and words With sound’s punctuation Click, click… click, click I wonder what it means The code the pencils use To communicate their thoughts Does the pencil shout About its abuse and misuse Or does it cheer For guiding hand and beauty made What does it feel for me It knows me as I am Through the love poems And the angry words Does it agree with what I say With what is in my soul No matter, it’s still my closest friend The pencil knows my confusion But with each “tap, click” We whisk the fogs away With each line we write We feel more free.

Talking pencils
Shuffled deck; fetch me three of Seventy-Eight cards. First: Queen of Swords "This fine Sword of honest metal is a more true an Ally than many of Flesh indeed prove to be." *Much like Athena, The Queen of Swords is symbolic of progress; always keen on new ideas; though she is not One to leave herself defenseless, her faithful Sword stands always by her side.* Second of the three, of the still Seventy-Seven: Two of Swords "Distracted by conflict 'twixt Heart and Mind, I hold two Swords and bide my Time." *Two of Swords stands between Moon and Water; the Shadow and the Subconscious the darkness and the unknown. The Two of Swords is blindfolded and in her blissful ignorance maintains her precarious balance, for now.* The third of three random cards; leaving Seventy-Five unturned: Knight of Swords "Feast your eyes upon this, my plan; I wager thou hath, in all thy wretched days, ne'er so beauteous a thing beheld!" *The Knight of Swords is a keen poet and a fine musician; though perhaps not romantically. She dabbles for the sake of the intellect, and seeks that those things be playthings thereof. She is symbolic of progress through new ideas and of the eloquence of a well-laid plan. Being of the House of Swords, she revels in the stimulation of intellect and the effective use of wisdom. She usually yields only to herself and marches to the beat of her own convictions, all the while keeping her eyes on the prize.* - All of these Cards are of the House of Swords. There's about a 1 in 166 chance of getting 3 of the 14 Swords out of a random deck of 78 cards. I got the Queen of Swords as my third card last time and the first card this time; There's 1 in approximately 676 chance of getting the same card in two consecutive sets of three cards from a random 78 card deck. (im)Probabilities aside: The Suit of Swords is generally associated with: one's ways of thinking, systems, ideas, and communication. It has much to do with what we chose to do with our Minds and it also is symbolic of the power of the stories we tell ourselves and each other. The Swords are indeed double-edged in Tarot. It has to do with the power of information and with that comes delusion, and, inexorably, paradox. Patterns do exist, however. Upon these patterns foundations may be built, the same is true within myself; I can choose to use all these Swords to cut through this cage of Shadow and set free the Light once more rather than allowing myself to myself fall victim to the Swords through inaction or misuse though only if I tread lightly and thoughtfully and proceed with tact; that much is clear. Sword is the sign of Air; perhaps the message here is simply "Remember to breathe."

Sometimes I think you are a fairy. Everytime you appear everything gets better. It's always unexpected. Not that I don't expect you to show your pretty face. It's how you appear. Seeing you whole. Though curious to where you hide your wings. No matter how many times I mix my words up You know just what I am saying. Reaching into your bag, sprinkling your dust as you please. My mouth covered a thousand times over, your essence. Your words fly right out of your mouth. And like that I am in awe. One feeling at a time. It's funny, how beautiful you are. The way you sprinkle your pixie dust. You know just how to pick me up. The twitch of your nose. The dimple that forms in your cheek. The world a distant place. This moment spent ensuring our distance. The rest of me in your bag. I acknowledge how special you are. I'd never place you in a jar or any form of glass. I'd never misuse any part of you. My heart being the concrete that cushions the way you walk. Your lips the fascination of the sun. The bigger problem is how you always seem to find me when I am at my lowest. And how I can never catch you off guard. Never. Your whisper in my ear. Sinking into your presence

"successful writers are all published" "you call that a sentence, keep it up and it will be a death sentence " "how many tenses can you misuse in a paragraph" and these are the names of some of the smaller teeth, the molars, are more than a mouthful, have polar names, that would leave anyone cold,                                                       even the bold, and shall not be put in print, they bring out the PTSD, imprinted for eternity, by the gator which comes at the sounds of splashing, flailing, and failing, as the pounding of the heart, the deepened breathing, as the ink from the pen, unfiltered, leaves nerves and veins exposed, while leaving to find home, a safe haven, a storybook ending, away from the gator's keen sense of overt criticism, intended to gut, and eviscerate, cutting remarks, putdowns to hold down and under, the piece that IT is trying to tear off while spinning or shaking the head side to side, which is both NO! and to bash the will, the self-esteem, into little pieces of me...             and my worst enemy,                                                 my internal, infernal editor,                                                                                               with the voracious appetite for self-defeating

I'm a rap game prodigy irony like Socrates that I could spit this philosophy so flawlessly. Unmatched like I'm scalene- scaling my way to the top so high like I'm a scaffolding go ahead fold and scowl at me and watch me cackle sarcastically- while I tell the masses to become appealing the apple of my eye is hip-hop do you feel me? Massive attacks while the males become ***** and subject to the ways of misogyny oh **** here we go again, this bothers me what? equality? Misuse the muse and move through your mind makeshift mammals mimmicking media monkeys no wonder half the world's a ****** like you when you see- the way I spit so fluently second language, feel the anguish anger within me resentment followed by residuals the world is red and we're all cruel consumed by corporate corruption no function left to the fiction of fascism so fasten your seat-belts and see me belt way more than 16sixteens, it's sickening how sick this flow can be so ambiguous hip-hop is bigger than us- it's luck, it's lust- it's a **** you when there's a lack of trust- it's **** it's love it's touch, it's **** it's drugs and grudges and beef and ******* it's empowerment, cowards and records strictly to deflower. it's appreciation and admiration and it at one point shook the entire nation- i'm complacent at the placement of this prophecy that hip-hop has engrained into me I'm grateful for the grandfather's and the sons and the daughters the step-fathers and mother ******* cut throat music industry if you don't **** with hip-hop you don't **** with me. *****

Poetry and rap have the same address just in different neighborhoods.
