"opposed" poems
A friend of mine walked up to me and asked me: "What is a good woman?" I replied "you would know if you were a good man" He said "Stop joking I really wanna know" "There is no definite answer, but when you meet one, it will show" There are many characteristics that make a good woman, but it would take days to speak them all Since my friend brought this to mind, I thought I would list a few for y'all A woman who is proud of what she brings and won't complain over petty things A woman who is well spoken and not opposed to listening because communication is key from the beginning A woman who is wise and able to realize the pit you are in doesn't matter because she will help your rise A woman who wouldn't try to control her man but also wouldn't be a doormat And when trouble comes up, her feet won't be flat (she's ready to go) A woman who never stops believing in the man that you are and the man you can become So much confidence in you, it almost makes her seem dumb A virtuous woman who prays for you more than she prays for herself Remembering God is number one above all else A woman who tries to pay for herself before you can offer Knowing the difference between selfless and selfish is something you should prefer A woman with the power of forgiveness But don't abuse it Because a good woman is not stupid She will lose it You will lose her and have no one to blame when your heart takes the hit If you hurt a good woman, in my eyes, you aren't worth the saliva I spit The ice cream no one would lick The one that gets thrown down in hope ants would leave a picnic To pick apart your existence Use your common sense Realize what's in front of you and cherish it Woman is the title a female receives at a certain age But it takes a good man to realize a good woman is on the next page I'm not saying a good woman needs to have this quote for quote I don't think any woman does, if so, let me know I haven't met any besides my family, but I don't go down that road I'm being patient, waiting for my good woman is giving me time to grow So I can give her the best Brandon Everett Davis, the world doesn't know To not be on their level, would be a sin Let's become better men for these good women

A Good Woman

My sexuality is that 1990's ice cream flavor Lost to time, but something I no longer seek to savor My *** is that 1777 font Pretty to look at, but nothing I want My sexuality is found in the not-places, of memory My sexuality is not *** and is not celibacy My sexuality is defined by my individuality My sexuality is not a catalyst for my morality My sexuality is my not-sex My sexuality is not-ever as opposed to not-yet My sexuality means My sexuality is mine

What it is(n't)
I wonder how you feel getting your hands tangled in her long blonde hair as opposed to my raven black hair and if there was a difference between you telling her she was yours when you were drunk, as opposed to you taking me to have dinner with your family when you were sober. and I wonder if I sit outside your bedroom window and burn through enough cigarettes while you’re in there with her, it’ll burn your memory out of my mind. Maybe the cigarettes would **** me before you could.

I am not just a person in a uniform, I am a Soldier. Every time I arise,  I obey; Each time she calls, I step up To defend her freedom, To restore her home of peace I arise,  I obey, I soldier on. Into the forest of her terrors I charge, not without fear for that which is mine but with love and strength and faith, I March. Defending the labour of heroes past, I march; fighting for dreams of her children bright- the  future she deserves. I arise, I obey, I soldier on. In the army I serve Nigeria,  my Country with heart, might and spine. Though a thousand times I have fallen, bits and pieces of me, lost to her darkness, still I obey, knowing it may be my last. I arise, leaving my family and friends behind. I obey your call of duty. My service and loyalty I pack on with my combat gear, that you may live to see yet another day, to feel yet another ray of light on your face. I am not just a person in a uniform. I am your Soldier,  the Nigerian Soldier, Ambushed and slaughtered in 40s, 70s and 100 for lack of resources. Bless me O Nigeria as I arise and obey Send me to your enemies with arsenals and might to match the fire in my eyes. As opposed to the massacres of me, let the headlines read of our gallant victory For my victory is yours over those who threaten our unity. I am not just a person in a uniform. I am your Soldier Do not let my bravery dissipate to stupidity For I rise,  I obey,  I soldier on still. ©Belema .S.  Ekine ©belemascribbles

Human Disposition
It is ironic, Salvador, because I am afraid of many things in the world and when I am with you I feel safe, Yet your company is the one thing I am afraid of most. I know that I love and need you more than you will ever love and need me and that One day you will be free With another woman and I will be Left paying for my sins against God and My rights against the state. I thought that our love would have no limits; You said that I am a Christian storm but I know that you can brave this tempest and Save me from myself. I am a poet, Salvador, but Whenever I sit down to try to write a poem about you, Or even just how I feel about you, I am unable to because I am lost for words. I can no longer express myself. I remember the beach. We would lie there for hours And on its sand we would kiss not just with our lips but With our eyes. The water will miss our visits, Its body seldom taken by another- As opposed to being constantly engulfed by two artistic lovers. I have received my seaside medicine -Via touch of tongue And word of hand- But have come to the realisation that you have in fact Poisoned me. I shall never be cured now. The smoke from silent guns has already risen but I am severed from the call to a fight with myself; A conflict to choose between God and you, Despite the fact that you are the same. You distract me from every focus- Even though we are miles apart; Even though you have replaced my words with your art, You have broken me, yet You make me Whole. Where is your warmth now, Salvador? I am alone by the sea trembling with the cold That you swore I would never feel again. The winter will devour me as a result of your failing to relight the fire that is supposed to Ignite me. You promised me life with a portrait machine But in all honesty What I really want to be Promised with is your faith, In me.

I peruse exhibits through the modern art museum Nails hammered into wood And trash strewn on the floor I couldn't help thinking What the **** is this **** These can't be the champions of modern art Moonlight and Arrival morphed my empathy and perspective The theater is fine Music is there for those inclined to discover it So what about visual art? I know a few things for certain Nails hammered into wood never changed my perspective Nor does seeing a garbage can in a museum affect my empathy Trash is not art Trash is trash Waste meant to be thrown in the proper receptacles So as not to obstruct our view of true beauty I will concede that Beauty can be found in everything Depending on analyzation variation But those that live an examined life Constantly see silver linings and sour grapes Experiencing comfort in tundras to the point of banality Those visions are much more interesting in their organic state anyway As opposed to an interpersonal expression of the seemingly obvious So what to hang in an art gallery? I have my own opinions At this point in time No visuals elicit more emotions Than dank memes When I'm consuming art Questions are innate in my consumption Is this a vessel for empathy? Is this examining the human condition? Dank memes meet those criteria Satirizing the powerful Highlighting emotions and virtues in ourselves That we're either proud or ashamed of Memes share a common thread with poetry In the sense that everybody can create memes Or be a poet I get the impression that Universality of art diminishes it's importance In the minds of patrons There's an element of truth to that But what makes art special is quality And what makes art truly special is high quality And that's what belongs in museums

I'd rather have someone live for me Than have someone die for me Anyone can jump in front of a bullet in one last tragic action But how many can put the blades down? How many can make a constant choice to live despite their struggles As opposed to a momentary decision? Yes, I'd rather have someone live for me Than have someone die for me Because I don't wanna be the one everyone avoids eye contact with at the funeral I wanna be the one people look to and think "she really changed his life" I wanna be the one he looks at and thinks, "she gave me a reason to get up each morning" I don't wanna be the cause of a death, romantic and tragic as it may seem I wanna be the reason for the decision to live

Don't die for me; live for me
In impulsive scenes, in adjacent moments when eyes are locked and hearts are ardent then passion strikes, a threat is posed the lover's heart becomes opposed astounded by the wondrous fact Affections - real, just so intact! a brilliant pause; the story alters the lover finds love the moment he stutters.

when thee falls in love
Truth bares the deepest recesses of her concealed modesties. Can you feel the resonating equilibrium of tantric sound as we connect across humanitarian divides? Tears fill my eyes, as I bask in the presence of such elevated humility. I am grateful for the wisdom of simplicity, as opposed to what may be deemed to be stupidity. Let us join hands around this circle of cultic agreement.

Donald Trump's presidency Is one of the greatest achievements in art I have ever experienced And Trump is a true artist He takes words from the page Like corruption, disenfranchisement, xenophobia And brings them to life Highlighting fear and paranoia so clearly Contrasting the blacks and whites Emphasizing anger While reminding us we're mere infants In the digital age And warning us of our seniority And capitalism's We all like to think life has meaning Until we hit an animal with our car Then that's just the way things are And I'm staring at an absurdist painting Of a child driving a car Through a herd of sheep As I watch a heist film Where the robbers turn their guns over To the mentally unstable guy in the group Trump is a national artist Placing riots on the map And drawing infernos on the Internet His art forces an opinion Everybody has something to say about him And it's all true Even the pages he ripped from his own cabinet Tried to villainize him in their script But he was already an anti-hero The humor is that the mud slung onto him Is dirt kicked up from his own tires I guess if you surround yourself with hateful people You're surrounding yourself with people who probably hate you Trump's art is deeply conflicting He reminds me of the people who want me to live in shame Yet he embodies the individuality that separates me from that shame His insecurities remind me of myself High school is the White House in the eyes of a kid And I had secrets I wanted to share But felt I couldn't I learned things That changed my entire perspective And didn't think people would understand Afraid of being assaulted for my indiscretions I hid behind a boisterous personality And a nonchalant attitude Trump's art evokes sympathy and hatred that feels so strong When he holds a mirror defining our worst qualities To a man viscerally opposed to his own reflection The confliction of emotions Is the hallmark of great art We are all artists The lines we write or the strokes we brush Are in our actions And Trump's canvas displays A life filled with accomplishment Inspiring me to live my own life But I still wake up in cold sweats From the American dream That anybody can be president

"she's a simple girl" they say about me judging me upon my plain clothes, and even plainer face "she's a simple girl" they say about me judging me upon my lack of words regarding frivolous topics hair, make-up, who's dating who "she's a simple girl" they say about me judging me upon the fact that i'd rather stay in with a book curled up in bed as opposed to a wild night out downing glasses of God knows what but would they invest the effort and just a little bit of their time to try and understand the complexities of my mind *the ideas the perspectives, the roads less traveled* would they ask me what i am passionate about they would receive not a few words but uncountable volumes full of my greatest dreams and most sacred desires ask me what i love and i will tell you about how deeply i care for the concept of community humanitarianism, how my biggest dream is to bring people together if they saw the thoughts which keep me up all night *how was i created? why was i created? why me? why not? my purpose and philosophy of life? to be, or not to be? who? what? where? why?* if only they tried to look beyond the surface and dive in deep they would realize that i am no shallow pond but a raging deep ocean full of emotion and thought belief, and purpose. i am a simple girl when it comes to matters of materialism i am a simple girl when it comes to speaking my mind i am a simple girl when it comes to my lack of interest in manipulation, mind-games and gossip i am a simple girl until you stop judging me for what you see & begin understanding me for who i am

"she's a simple girl" they say about me judging me upon my plain clothes, and even plainer face "she's a simple girl" they say about me judging me upon my lack of words regarding frivolous topics hair, make-up, who's dating who "she's a simple girl" they say about me judging me upon the fact that i'd rather stay in with a book curled up in bed as opposed to a wild night out downing glasses of God knows what but would they invest the effort and just a little bit of their time to try and understand the complexities of my mind *the ideas the perspectives, the roads less traveled* would they ask me what i am passionate about they would receive not a few words but uncountable volumes full of my greatest dreams and most sacred desires ask me what i love and i will tell you about how deeply i care for the concept of community humanitarianism, how my biggest dream is to bring people together if they saw the thoughts which keep me up all night *how was i created? why was i created? why me? why not? my purpose and philosophy of life? to be, or not to be? who? what? where? why?* if only they tried to look beyond the surface and dive in deep they would realize that i am no shallow pond but a raging deep ocean full of emotion and thought belief, and purpose. i am a simple girl when it comes to matters of materialism i am a simple girl when it comes to speaking my mind i am a simple girl when it comes to my lack of interest in manipulation, mind-games and gossip i am a simple girl until you stop judging me for what you see & begin understanding me for who i am

I am the Lorax, who once spoke for the trees In the hope of bringing progress to its knees But now I have grown somewhat older and tired, My outlook and thought process being rewired (Sometimes to see forest, you must clear the trees.) Examine the case of the Brown Bar-ba-loots Whose interests for so long I worked in cahoots. Could such timid beasts truly thrive in the wild So innocent, trusting, submissive, and mild? (My former assertions I strongly refute.) Why, see how they frolic and scamper in zoos; How can one watch them and steadfastly refuse To see how much better their lot is today As joy for our children as opposed to prey (A happy condition where no one can lose.) Ah, scoff the nihilists, *but Truffula Trees, Those havens for birds and those homes for the bees. Why, what do you say now that they are all gone, Removed to make way for some suburban lawn?* (These angry young men—O Lord, take them all please!) I gently remind them it’s just nature’s way, That some species go while other ones stay, The carrier pigeon’s no longer alive Yet somehow we manage to live—indeed, thrive! (In the face of brute logic, they’ve little to say.) So don’t be dismayed or frightened or leery Of doomsday projections outlined by theory Suggesting that our time on this earth may be done; Consider the caged Bar-ba-loot having fun (And we hear fish do quite well in Lake Erie.)

The Lorax Reconsiders
We are told that Nothing trumps Trump's Misogyny but truth will out When his sexist shtick is a Gift that keeps giving for His Republican rivals, Whose Lips are sealed, but by Their deeds their hands are unclean. We know that Bush did not beat about the bush When he said of women on welfare that “They should Be able to get their life Together and find a husband" We know that Walker repealed Wisconsin's only Equal pay law and supported anti-choice Invasive intrusion of a woman's right To choose. We know that Mike H Has mused that he thinks women Who cannot control their “Libido" Should not “curse” and Jay Z is really A **** seems to be exploiting Beyoncé. We know that Rubio opposed re-authorizing the Violence against Women Act, even though he knew What it meant when he opposed the Paycheck Fairness Act. We know Rand P was rightly Republican in similarly Voting against the Paycheck Act, and in his college secret Society promoted Anita B's views that oral *** was a sin. Perhaps they all need to look in the mirror and adhere to The Biblical adage that "He who is without sin should Cast the first stone" But what is sin anyway?

Addiction ......is a mountain that you do not have the strength to climb, but do so anyways....and you know that there is an avalanche..a moment of collapse and destruction....that is bound to happen at any moment in time, but you do not care because....the view is so beautiful addiction is letting your highs carry you throughout the night because it's the only way you'll be able to greet the day and then allow your lows to drag you through it addiction is small puddles of water in the desert that lead to a mirage in the distance, you continue drinking, believing that you are being led to your salvation only to realize it has all been an illusion addiction itself is water, although it does not reside in the desert..it's in your stomach as opposed to food, because if you were to eat you would not only throw up the food, but also the truth addiction is silence within classrooms....why speak out loud when you are already screaming at the temptation in your mind to leave you be.. addiction is a race between bank accounts and bodies..and its hard to tell which one will cross the finish line of complete emptiness first addiction is skin clinging to bones like a baby to its mother....but its only ever perceived as beautiful addiction is carrying vile poison in your veins, and so in your backpack you also carry blades because you never really know when the temptation will scream just a bit too loud..and the time will come to let it all out addiction is locked doors and cold bathroom floors that you sit upon for hours contemplating your fate.. Addiction is what has carried the minds and souls of those I love to a far away place, and so I suppose I allow it to carry me now in hopes it will bring me to them someday...

I’m stumbling through a black abyss, Surrounded by this nothingness, Mirroring the emptiness, inside my soul. Along the way I find a lake, A lake upon the path I take, And near the lake there lies a sign, Just before the water’s line. And this is what the sign does say ,The sign I find upon my way: “Here lies the gateway to the soul, So look within if that’s your goal.” So I kneel within this black abyss, And gaze upon the lake’s surface, My reflection meets my eyes, A face I do not recognize. And as I look upon this face, Despising she who took my place, I feel my anger over flow, And finally I let it go. “You ignorant and petty fool! You errant-minded, useless tool! Oh look at you, what you’ve become! Don’t you see how far you’ve fallen from?” My reflection does not answer me, Just stares back out so emptily, A sight that draws forth unshed tears, And rekindles all my greatest fears. “What happened to the face I knew? What happened to the real you? You are everything you once opposed! You are a fraud! And everyone knows.” My reflection simply stares at me, It does not move, nor answer me, Nor does it return my shout, It does nothing, just stares back out. “You are the reason for the emptiness! You are the reason for this black abyss! For everything that’s trapped me here! You are the face behind my fear!” Then looking down upon this lake, This lake upon the path I take, I realize it is no lake at all, Only a mirror upon the wall.

I truly have a love...hate... relationship between believing... what I know and... knowing what I believe... Symbiotic... and toxic... It's a detailed. enigma... My curse... My passion... an ever present pull... with stubborn intent often directly opposed To the path which I am on... When I was much younger I developed a systemic and purposeful mission to design the person I was to become I had carefully weighed... tested and mapped out my "edges" finally setteling on habits, personalities and a type of lifestyle... this allows me a precarious balance... between honor, appearances and fair exchange .. friendship, acceptance and fun... Something rare during my colorful   and... then recent childhood... Like I said... young... and well... Once I found my path... I stubbornly believed... That no others... existed...for me Really young... ...hee hee hee As we all know... life happens ... ...and I rolled and flowed... and always seed to manage But I didn't bloom... I just became really good at being me. Just missing... a really good second... again waiting...to become...

Accepting Serendipity...
I dreamed that, as I wandered by the way, Bare Winter suddenly was changed to Spring, And gentle odours led my steps astray, Mixed with a sound of waters murmuring Along a shelving bank of turf, which lay Under a copse, and hardly dared to fling Its green arms round the ***** of the stream, But kissed it and then fled, as thou mightest in dream. There grew pied wind-flowers and violets, Daisies, those pearled Arcturi of the earth, The constellated flower that never sets; Faint oxlips; tender bluebells, at whose birth The sod scarce heaved; and that tall flower that wets— Like a child, half in tenderness and mirth— Its mother’s face with Heaven’s collected tears, When the low wind, its playmate’s voice, it hears. And in the warm hedge grew lush eglantine, Green cowbind and the moonlight-coloured may, And cherry-blossoms, and white cups, whose wine Was the bright dew, yet drained not by the day; And wild roses, and ivy serpentine, With its dark buds and leaves, wandering astray; And flowers azure, black, and streaked with gold, Fairer than any wakened eyes behold. And nearer to the river’s trembling edge There grew broad flag-flowers, purple pranked with white, And starry river buds among the sedge, And floating water-lilies, broad and bright, Which lit the oak that overhung the hedge With moonlight beams of their own watery light; And bulrushes, and reeds of such deep green As soothed the dazzled eye with sober sheen. Methought that of these visionary flowers I made a nosegay, bound in such a way That the same hues, which in their natural bowers Were mingled or opposed, the like array Kept these imprisoned children of the Hours Within my hand,—and then, elate and gay, I hastened to the spot whence I had come, That I might there present it!—Oh! to whom?

Fallen from grace, No longer do I sit high upon the pedestal That you had once put me No longer am I seen as idol or mentor Nor wanted as provider or protector But now looked upon as an outcast And banished from your heart Betrayed by the one who now blinds you With a veil of lies and deceit That weighs on your young fragile heart With heavy words of animosity and abhorrence You have been trapped in a malevolent web Of hatred and retribution Used as an unwitting pawn In a game of emotional chess Your words of respect and adoration Have been replaced by venomous accusations Of brutality and oppression Taught to you by the one Who now holds the chains that bind your heart But I will not be vanquished or deterred By these attempts to falsify or dilute my love for you I will be strong in my resolve and true to myself I will not let these misguided asseverations Destroy my confidence in knowing That my spirit is pure and that one day You will be able to break free from your restraints And uncover your eyes So you can distinguish the truth from the lies Until that day comes I shall be waiting Ready to stand next to you As opposed to being on that pedestal And walk down a new road with you As your friend and equal

The slaves of their passion built this pyramid But now there’s no sign of civilization But ancient artifact have been found The great migration to the underground I look at the hieroglyphics on the wall It’s an epic story oh I’ve seen it all This place was taken by industry Powered by fame and the illusion of money They perverted the artist’s proud, heartfelt ways Forced the true artists out for the ones who stayed They create things that sound the same to us Dropped their talent sold their souls to business Lost their land to a cult of executives So now they put out songs without messages There puppets without any ideals But it’s amazing for album sales They were tempted by the glorious pop charts Every follower goes by the formula Produce garbage without connection With no real emotion or expression Their distorted auto tuned emptiness All to be on TV and in magazines Want exposure to be recognized Their careers won’t fade they were never alive This place ***** robbed lied to n even forgotten The ones who stayed chained to the corporation Not for the sake of art but for the money Lack of feeling and effort plain to see The slaves of their passion built this pyramid But now there’s no sign of civilization But ancient artifact have been found The great migration to the underground Can’t understand what their saying Fan base is alienated Rather be an icon than a star The space between performer and audience grows more and more So the true artists have left n disappeared They’ve been out of sight for many many years There somewhere where you don’t need to be in style Might not find them at the left of the dial No they don’t care about TV or radio They just want to make something with all their soul They are all now opposed to the fame Crossing their fingers it won’t be the next craze But today we still have the artifacts Amazing and impressive sounds of the past Better than the sell outs we all know Talent, determination, originality flow The slaves of their passion built this pyramid But now there’s no sign of civilization But ancient artifact have been found The great migration to the underground Someone poisoned the main stream So now it’s the same to me Did I read the hieroglyphics wrong I don’t know?

It all started, When you removed my top, and that's when you made me less composed, I though then that we were going to become parted, But you just dropped, and you made my body opposed, This is when things got-started, and my body frozen, and shocked, because you went to a part of me I had left closed,
