"offend" poems
Oh my it is great... to have this headache... after trying to understand what numbers are real and fake I don't see how this will help me through my course of life Will I ever be trying to see what the angle of a chair is again? or will I ever need to use how to find a hypotenuse? I've thought and thought for a very long time and came up with a list of jobs that would ever need algebra Math teacher Crazy Math obsessor Architect Carpenter scientist (on occasion) contractor Someone who builds triangles kite maker someone who makes graphs salesman/women Too bad that isn't any of the jobs I ever want... Algebra... oh how my head burns and I'm sorry if you like it I don't mean to offend but Algebra just aint my jam I'd rather be painting or writing or singing I'd rather be strumming(my guitar) be sleeping or eating I'd rather go play soccer or basketball or ski Really I'd just rather be free free of the confusion I feel after class of the helplessness that I have towards math Oh how am I going to survive??? PS. I still have to live through geometry (I **** at shapes) pre calculous (I don't even know what that is) and calculous (Ugh *** I hope you enjoyed my "radical" poem!

Algebra...
Does my blackness offend you? Is my hair too curly for you? Are my hips too wide for you? My dark brown skin glows with all the melanin I have been gifted with. My lucious thick hair is filled with curls that bounce with every stride I take forward, away from oppression. My hips sway perfectly with the drums beating in the air of the Mother land. Does my athletism bother you? Is my intelligence too much for you? Are my people beneath you? My athletic feats have been studied by generations of white Americans who have hoped to find an extra ligament in my leg. My intelligence has been the reason for many inventions all over the world. My people will rise above , always have , always will. My people will be given justice where it's due. My people will be heard , just like the drums from the Mother land.

Does my blackness offend you?
Let me apologize, to begin with because of my body type. I will NEVER be good enough for anyone to date due to current 'hype.' You know, the battle of 'bones' vs curves? Just let me inflate myself to the  right number so I can properly serve As the perfect specimen for your delicate eyes. Obviously no one is good enough unless they've got decent thighs. But just wait a god **** minute, because here I am again: So let me apologize, to begin with, if I offend You or your friends who think they're too good To date someone size zero with some extra love under the hood. How many times have I heard you exclaim in disgust Of how large she is and how you'd drown in her, If you even got near her? I saw you shaking in fear. From your head to your toes, you were trembling dear. See I'm told to eat less and maybe, just maybe But if I was skinny, and let's tell the truth, You'd be so disgusted by my looks . I could eat a salad and still gain a pound , She could eat a salad and the crunch is the only sound You hear a mile away and yet you would assume That burgers and French fries is all that she consumed. Do you ever stop to think, ladies and gents? The true beauty of someone isn't based on the number on their pants. So, let me apologize, to begin with, If I bruise your massive ego, But the way to tell if she's the perfect woman is not by your libido

Let me apologize
You may write me down in history With your bitter, twisted lies, You may trod me in the very dirt But still, like dust, I'll rise. Does my sassiness upset you? Why are you beset with gloom? 'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells Pumping in my living room. Just like moons and like suns, With the certainty of tides, Just like hopes springing high, Still I'll rise. Did you want to see me broken? Bowed head and lowered eyes? Shoulders falling down like teardrops. Weakened by my soulful cries. Does my haughtiness offend you? Don't you take it awful hard 'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines Diggin' in my own back yard. You may shoot me with your words, You may cut me with your eyes, You may **** me with your hatefulness, But still, like air, I'll rise. Does my sexiness upset you? Does it come as a surprise That I dance like I've got diamonds At the meeting of my thighs? Out of the huts of history's shame I rise Up from a past that's rooted in pain I rise I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide, Welling and swelling I bear in the tide. Leaving behind nights of terror and fear I rise Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear I rise Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave, I am the dream and the hope of the slave. I rise I rise I rise.

Still I Rise
You'll love her with all your skin, tongue and lungs. The way that the air is just so much more crisp whenever she's in proximity to your hands. It turns the scattered dust in the atmosphere into magnifying glasses Aimed directly at her Spotlighting everything you wish you could put into words but can't Because she's just too ******* unbelievable That even if you tried, you would offend yourself and the gods with how little it compares to The love she makes you feel in reality. You would do everything for her. Hold her until your bones start to crack So that she'll understand just what you mean When you tell her that you'll never let her go. But she still doesn't get it. She'll never understand that when you tell her that you want nothing more Than to let your dust be her dust, her words to be in your cheeks Her nose to be your daughters nose You mean that you want nothing more than to keep her forever. But you never will. Because you never stood a chance. You thought that by giving your whole self over to her she would offer you the same respect. That's not how this world works. It never was. These valiant efforts of yours are now dubbed selfish and inconsiderate by others For not taking her feelings into account. Because she doesn't know what true love is. She never felt the need to have you near. For her daughters smile to be your smile. For your hands to cradle her head when she's sad. To let you talk for hours without listening to a single ******* word you're saying, Because she's lost in the sound of your voice. Because she doesn't know how to accept anything she isn't willing to give.

An Open Letter To Boys Wanting Love
You'll love her with all your skin, tongue and lungs. The way that the air is just so much more crisp whenever she's in proximity to your hands.

If Success was Happiness Then achievers would be glad But look around and you will find That many of them are sad Of course, Achievement gives joy And excitement, oh boy! But when our need becomes our greed To misery, this will lead The whole world is chasing Success Everyone wants achievement Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose There is no Contentment Why do people want to succeed? Why is everyone in a race? The Truth is that we want to win So that there is a smile on our face But though we win, we are not glad We have money, why are we sad? Happiness is not money, the sages said It's sleeping soundly when you are in bed We hear of suicides in the homes of the rich If they were Happy, then why this glitch? Although they are achievers, this fact we know They are not Happy, their face has no glow If successful, but unhappy, what is the use? Winning or smiling, what would you choose? The purpose of Success is for us to be glad What is the use of winning, if it makes us sad? Happiness is something different, we learn Not just money that we earn and burn Happiness is built on a foundation of peace Then we are blissful like waves in the seas Look around at the people who are glad They live in the moment, they are never sad They don't swing from the future to the past They are the ones whose Happiness lasts Happiness has no price tag, know this my friend It's a state of mind where nothing can offend It's being able to smile, and able to laugh Not just trying to raise our Success graph We can't measure joy in dollar and pound Happy is he who peace has found Though we may fly the world around We may be miserable on the ground Success is not Happiness, this Truth we must know We may have everything, what's the use of this show? The truly successful one is he Who lives with smile, laughter, and glee If one is Happy, then one has achieved all One doesn't have to be rich and in fame be tall One can have little, but if content is he Then he can live joyously Achievement gives Happiness, this fact we know But with Fulfilment and Contentment, does Happiness grow One who is Happy, doesn't need to win He has Peace and Joy without committing sin Joy doesn't need a foundation of cash One doesn't have to be rich, to enjoy life's bash Happiness is a simple state of the mind It comes from being loving, it comes from being Kind Happiness is Success. It is achieving life's goal It is being Happy in the heart, Peaceful in the Soul True Happiness is eternal, not just a moment of joy It last's forever, it can’t be destroyed Success is a journey of valleys and peaks Life is a see-saw, there are laughs and squeaks Success, unlike Happiness, doesn't last for long But the truly Happy ones always sing a Happy song So, Success is not Happiness, Happiness is Success You may be an achiever, whose heart is not at rest But though not successful, if Happy you are Then you are an achiever, you are the very best

The Door
I am a man of no flag no God and no party but this offers me certain freedoms like freedom from offense and freedom to offend I've always found the most "offensive" jokes to be the funniest like a sacred cow butcher and if you are offended easily this might not be the poem for you that being said here we go Did you hear the one about the last pope who actually did any good? yeah me neither What did the pilot say when the Muslim man walked on his plane? "This is flight 216 we may have a potential security risk on the plane." America: Land of the free home of the brave? where a vast majority of the population are wage slave cowards and don't get me started on England a hot nest of xenophobia and racism which almost makes me glad to not live there anymore and it doesn't matter if you are a democrat or a republican because either way you are wrong, and dumb did you hear the one about the anti-gay republican in the gay bar? He took the most drugged up man he could find for some fun in the bathroom stall because the chances are tomorrow he won't remember enough to break the story I live in the sacred cow slaughter house (you can't spell slaughter without laughter) and the only food that really satisfies me anymore is USDA prime choice sacred cow beef

But if I was larger, and let's tell the truth, You'd be so disgusted by my 'sweet tooth.' I could eat an elephant and never gain a pound, She could eat a salad and the crunch is the only sound You hear a mile away and yet you would assume That burgers and French fries is all that she consumed.

To Begin With
The idiocy, Sheer insincerity Of political apologies. It WAS meant to offend. You chose the words carefully. A dog's-whistle in your mouthpiece. Your career is your priority. You are a glorified carnival barker, With a reputation as an intellect, But many do detect ******** in your overblown prose (except those who are equally verbose). Will your papa be disappointed If you are never to be anointed? Your education makes being PM a career choice, So power for it's own sake should really be a piece of cake. So how about it, Boris? Will we hear more Horace? How much do you want it? Enough to blow your own Trumpette?

He Wants To Be Prime Minister Because He Can
When you and I kissed You were made of moonlight. We shared a sweet embrace; Your face was so lovely Your eyes had such beauty Your lips were so perfect And I was made helpless. You and I drew closer Your breath was sweet fragrance Then our lips met gently The touch was pure music. We held that kiss ageless, All time was a moment. The light in you faded Then I woke up crying With tears on my pillow A soul in the darkness. I know you will refuse I know I will offend No, this kiss won't happen- Not when I am awake.

The Perfect Kiss
My dear friends Go on and enjoy yourselves Slumber the morn away! It seems early on Saturdays I've always far to much to attempt to convey While my few kind heart-ed followers Tend to sleep their mornings hours Peacefully in and out of REM While I'm at the computer rhyming again... It's late You passed your chance for early waking Hell you miss out on a great early baking! And now it's far past time for eggs and bacon The munches, as you can guess Have all been forsaken And what did you achieve With extra sleep Morning dreams of distorted thoughts Poetic themes now subconsciously lost? I know, I know You made wonderful love the night before And you need your beauty rest I read your writing, I get it you are so blessed!!!! I went to bed alone and played With the thoughts of someone wanting me I wish my poems could reflect But all they do is bleed How I envy all my followers If I offend Give me a holler You've been hanging out late With a habits to itch We all have a role to play Unfortunately   By the time you get around to reading this I'll either be asleep Or on my way! .....

SLUMBER AWAY
What a face "Sells" Abruptly she yells Matte burning dry Just try Too moisten her lips She's the Red devil From hell why does her orange face peel sell? The right color a psychic won't tell Wishing well drenched He touched my orange juice "All Frenched" She loves to slice and he peels what appeal orange saffron sauce One last juicy squirt divorce It's time for fresh squeeze Too frozen concentrate The happy hour "Orange" feel   no other place like fate Ten times real "One" face peel has been love absorbed Like lemon meringue Tainted love Bitter grind soft butter glove Do you mind orange flame (The Spa) sells to be loved Tra la so kind all Grunge Going "Wawa" coffee cruel Other colors haha Movie set Orange payroll lounge tease squirt But destroyed by the evil spell curse Summoned on sunburst But we need the Orange before the sun comes Like clones orange, you glad we have "Green Apple" phones One step beyond orange zones I don't want to burst your orange sauce Grand Marnier starry twist of orange Two timing orange yogurt Taste to tangy it hurt Hey Yo Orange peel Spa Still sticks Orange Julius flirt O outrageous P pick What turns us on and gets us sick Plan your work and work your plan Never offend her Let's see the chef make you love her Creamified dreamlike Whip free The orange mousse pie Let me hear it yummy to lie

Orange Peel Sells
Spiders. Snakes. Late nights, due to the fact that once I saw a possum in our garage when it was dark out. Good looking people not thinking I'm good looking. Holding children. I might drop them. My brothers growing up to be just like me. Shark attacks. Jumping off high places. Headphones that go too deep into my ears. Going the opposite direction of so many cars. I'm the only one going my way.  They're probably headed the right way. They're probably having more fun. Realizing that, after being on the road for a while, my high beams have been on the whole time. Sorry. Cockroaches. Family reunions where I'm not sure if that really attractive girl is my family or someone's friend. Climbing up the stairs of the Bombay ride at Wet N' Wild because there just slabs of stone I can see under. I could slip and fall right through. Enjoying bad bands. Letting my girlfriend look into my eyes. Talking on the phone. Growing up. Refusing to grow up. Reading this over if I ever finish it and realizing that I am something less than a regular human being.  Probably an animal of some kind. Frogs. Big animals. Waking up one day as the same person I always have been. Standing still. My parents. Not spending the rest of my life with the girl I swore I would. Texting people too often. My parents dying. Whales. My teeth being this awful the rest of my life. Braces. Making people think they offended me.  People never offend me. Writing anything that's ever as good as Ernest Hemingway.  How dare I think that I ever could. Running too hard.  My heart might burst. Being unreasonable. Am I unreasonable? Sticking my finger inside an air conditioning vent in a car.  I don't know if there's a fan in there.  I don't know if it'll take my finger off. Getting people's hopes up. Letting people down. Fish. Bees. Being a teacher. My laugh. Wearing bad clothes. Holding her hand too hard.  I might cut off circulation.  She might get mad. My brother disapproving of what I do. Heaven because it sounds awful doing the same thing for the rest of forever. Finding out I've been gay this whole time. Cracking my fingers. Being a parent. Whales. Final exams. Paranormal Activity 4. Singing on cue. Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. Eating insects. Whales. Silence. The open ocean. Whales. Whales.

Be naked and vulnerable, They say, But hide some things away, Your liver isn’t lovely, But your heart keeps me in awe, I can’t, Uncover my chest, My brain, And show the world the blood, And shining blue, And red, And yellow, The curves, Without showing half-digested cheese, And bile, And **** Once in a while, Or often, To be naked, Is to allow mistakes, To offend, And forgive yourself, And them, When they offend you too, It is impossible, To share our beauty, Without the ugliness. Self-esteem, And humble pride, Is knowing, That you can’t find, Anyone with more **** than you, Or more most beautiful blood, So, Do you have the courage, To be naked?

Naked
To the man on the street that called my ex girlfriend and I ****** I forgive you. We were nineteen and in love, I’m sorry that you were raised in a way that made you look at two girls holding hands and laughing as something that wasn’t to be shown in public. I’m sorry that my happiness made you feel insecure in that moment. My happiness was not on display to offend you. My love life was never an act of rebellion against you. I will forgive you for how you were raised but I will not apologize for showing love in a way you don’t deem appropriate for wandering eyes. To the people I went to high school with, I’m sorry I never heard the rumours you spread about me until you were already out of my life. I’m sure you meant to break my heart when you called me **** in the hallways but your words never made their way back to me. Your aggression towards who I chose to love never stopped me from falling in love with girls I never imagined could be real. I refuse to hide away my love. I will not let your words shame me back into the closet I was scared to admit I was stuck in. To the people who used to send me anonymous messages telling me to **** myself I hope you’re in a better place now. I often think about how my big secret made you so upset that you couldn’t stand to live in the same world as me. I’m not sorry that I’m still here now. I still feel sorry that you were so sad with yourself that you needed to make me feel as hopeless as you were. To the people who voted no towards same *** marriage but watch girl on girl **** I’m sorry my love is only okay when it’s for your pleasure. I’m sorry that you have such a skewed view on life that you see women as objects and not as people. I would forgive you but I don’t think you’d fess to your wrongdoing to be forgiven. There is nothing to forgive if someone won’t admit that they are wrong. I’m twenty three now and I’m still not sorry for writing love poems about beautiful girls. I have stopped apologizing for being something that I’m proud of. I no longer hide behind my assumed heterosexuality. I proudly proclaim my attraction to women because I spent too many years being ashamed of being in love. I will never again sweep hatred under the rug to keep peace. I have never needed your approval for my love to be valid and I never will.

Your true beauty is seen when I look into your eyes Beauty that is seen even by the blind Beauty that doesn't take much effort for you to show Beauty that is reflected from deep within your soul Beauty that can trigger hopes for a mental connection Beauty that is absolute coincidental perfection Beauty that could make any goddess jealous Beauty that could make any mortal overzealous Beauty like the first flower of the year in full bloom Beauty that captures the focus of a full room Beauty that somehow beats all of the odds Your beauty is a true work of art from our God True beauty is the repetition of flawless excellence not only in the physical sense but more of a soul sense and I ask myself how is shawty so bad yet she gives my soul a cleanse....she possesses the type of beauty to make any ***** want to cherish her the same way the he should cherish his mother equipped with the beauty to make him only have eyes for her & blind to any other. Another *** could have a bank account full of money yet he wouldn't pay mind to any other. Another shorty could be the only one in a room with a watch and he still wouldn't give her the time of day but...shit they say beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and behold-- it is her and her beauty is a work of art like a painting by van gogh or da vinci and she holds the amount beauty to make a ***** say **** I hope she's into me & don't mean to offend you mona lisa but what man wouldn't want to get into ya inside of you to glide on you ride and collide into you But personally I'd rather make you *** mentally that's when feelings are true but in a world full of feelings that most of us seem to hide it's hard to reveal your inner beauty when you know it wont be appreciated and I know you never know what its like to be appreciated but here I am sitting in the corner of the classroom watching you write notes about a subject that I cant even focus on because your beauty completely captivates my mind body and spirit.

If by chance your eye offend you, Pluck it out, lad, and be sound: 'Twill hurt, but here are salves to friend you, And many a balsam grows on ground. And if your hand or foot offend you, Cut it off, lad, and be whole; But play the man, stand up and end you, When your sickness is your soul.

If By Chance Your Eye Offend You
The excitement of holiday has waned & suddenly I am on the playground again. I am thankful for my gifts, but they are not enough. I stand at the corner watching all of my friends. Everyone has seen my toys. They are not impressed, no matter how much I love them. No matter how much I love them. Laughter & affection, like Ring Around the Rosie. Another game I am not really a part of. I observe. I see desire on the lips of every child. The way their fingers itch to play with my friends. They glance back from time to time, and a smile I’ve learned to force from the pit and pain of my stomach leaves them satisfied. They carry on playing their games that I don’t really understand the rules of. I’m fine. I am angry. Someone speaks to me. I’ve learned to lie. Even my stories are pathetic. Tales that claw at the base of my brain like the tears kept caged in my throat. No one wants to see me sad. No one wants to see me. I impress no one with my hand-me-down genes. Even I grow tired of them. My blessings are robust but that is not enough for friends. I am not picked. They all wear rings and play house, and in my head I entertain dead things. I better not tell them that. It’s not that we don’t like the same things, they just don’t like me. Can I hear them snickering? They won’t say no but they won’t sleep over. I am the joke when I have no games to play. If I could disappear, maybe then I’d have friends. Don’t they love to watch me go? On this playground full of girls & boys, lingers the stench of envy & top shelf rivalry. My artifacts & ancient dolls, the historic volumes I collect, treasures only precious to me. Let me hide away with these while they show off their shiny things. Perhaps in class I’ll find a friend. Someone with whom to share & offend. To play games no one else understands. Finally. So I wait for that sweet release, A ground on which they can’t compete. A friend to which I am their toy, whom they proudly show to every girl & boy. It is a playground still, it seems. They don’t even know they’re being mean. I just want someone to like me. I’m still waiting for that bell to ring. "Playground" 2/13/04

An Amish elder named Mullet, And some of his ****** clan, bore hatred deep in their gullets for their Amish fellow man. ****** seemed out of the question, It’s rare among Amish, folks say, (It may be that a horse and a carriage doesn’t make for a quick getaway.) So Mullet and some of his minions Invented a new sort of crime: Shaving their bearded opponents one Amish man at a time. Losing one’s beard among Amish- A disgrace before God, it’s been said. Mullet spared no woman either choping the hair from their heads. His victims are speechless with anger, denuded of both beards and hair. Leave it to someone named “Mullet” To offend using a Barber’s chair. Mullet’s in Federal custody; charged with a crime, not a sin. He refuses to answer the charges By the hair of his chinny chin chin.

An Amish Hate Crime
My heart weighs so heavy pulling my neck to the ground struggling to breathe too cloudy to see All I need is to just lie down Wanting to puke these feelings out wanting to live without the doubt of when I'll offend and when you'll shout (by that I mean speaking hard & loud) It's so odd that I'm to blame for wanting to act and be treated the same Either I'm ******* crazy and losing my mind or this is emotional abuse. 093014 ~ 12.49p

Crazy vs Abuse
It is not wrong to be white and to have dreadlocks Though, you may look like a pleb but you offend me not Nor would it offend a black rastafarian man of a temperate manner I don't know any women with white skin and straight hair that get offended by afro-caribbean women wearing a straight weave You're all just too soft now, you're all just pet peaves Stop getting offended on behalf of other people that don't even take offence Excuse me, whilst I build a fence around myself hombre Not to keep me here but to keep you at bay Cultural appropriation doesn't exist Cultural misappropriation doesn't exist You're all just champagne socialists You should get over it Yes, you mate The one that thinks he's above everyone and must decide what is politically correct and whose life matters In the end all this is is a series of cultural exchanges and we're all wading through **** Face it.

Cultural Triggering
It feels like tar on my tongue, My mouth is dry and my throat burns- Horrifying twists as my stomach churns. Those words still come easy, But my voicebox is chained and has to force them out. Why do I let them out? Those simple words will stay with me, Floating about and polluting all I see The memory of them rest easy, Reminding me how bad I am. I used to enjoy it, Felt them to be necessary, Natural, Powerful, And expressive. But now their taste is bitter, They are sickening and distasteful. They offend me. They whip at my ears and stab at my heart. They are degrading. I’ll sound like a hypocrite I’ll sound entirely fake. They are only words But oh how they are foul. I enjoy the taste of tar, As it makes me unhappy to speak them. I enjoy how it peels my skin, As I do not want to be near them. I adore how it destroys me, Because it is that Which builds me up.
