"segregate" poems
There are some people Who think very logically They have a hard time Seeing anything that Doesn't make sense in Their minds and that Doesn't fit into their Ideas of what is Logical and right and What they can see right In front of their eyes There are also the People who understand And comprehend the World around them Through their feelings And emotions and Can see the bigger Picture and the bigger Plan easier than most We all make up our Own parts and we All have our own Purpose and even Though we are all Different in our own Ways we must learn to Appreciate the wonderful Differences that make Up the whole and To see and take notice Of the wonderful and Beautiful diversity of Life and of people and Of thoughts and even Of the Earth as well As we begin to Celebrate the diversity Instead of trying to Segregate and separate Ourselves based on our Differences we should Be trying to learn and Understand from each Other instead of trying To conquer and subjugate People to our ideas and Ways of thinking we should Be trying to see things From the other side of Things and understanding There is more the life than Right or wrong and trying To prove yourself to others And seeing that even with All of our differences we Are for more connected And alike than we all Could imagine and once We understand that simple Truth everything else starts To fall into place as we start To see the beautiful diversity And the wonder of life as We begin to see things More completely and Understand we are all Parts of one big great Diverse community that We call the human race

It's a **** shame.. These girls are so different yet they are the same.. A figment of imagination .. To draw a line in the divine pigment and foundation.. 2 Queens in the same race.. In the same race.. Can't get along because of the tone on their face... Whatever the case I wish you all could get first place.. Don't let the color of your skin have you unfit within... I wish I could undraw that a line with the pen.. Of self hate that they handed us.. We didn't wanna hate eachother they demanded us... These skin tones... They tore us apart from the field to the kitchen.. Enough of the ******** & ******* QUEENS PRAISE QUEENS!!!!! And that final.. Instead of making enemies.. Make yourself someone's idol... Don't let this world segregate a segregated being.. I'm dedicating this to you.. Every dark skinned & light skinned Queen... ONE LOVE...

Lets stop n slam on somethin' shameful like war and anguish... 'Cause im pretty sure that tremendous termoil and suffering and starvation is the same in all languages... But something that most of us will never know... 'Cause in this country you tend to grow a fat *** as you grow old. Give this countries cold dark history a warm embrace, look it in the face! All this killing, death, distruction, and disease...more war than peace! Something most of us will never see, much less feel...Because ignoring it is so much easier. We'd rather be pleasing ourselves than siezing the keys to this country! Jump in. Take a sunday drive for freedom. Sunday football keeps you occupied... Kicked back in the recliner, while others freeze in the name of the flag. And your constitution. And the human condition. Patriotism is not pretty to the petty. To...those getting rich, hand over fist... On your...vacant homes, vacant jobs, and vacant votes. While they vacate our education with more lousy legislation. We get lazier and sleezier and sloppier. We pass judgement on our fellow man... While we let politicians pass bills that destroy this great land. Hand over fist, hand over hand...one hand washes the other politicians **** These dinosaurs with their special interest agendas make me sick. Stand up strait. Look at me when I talk to you. Dont turn a blind eye to all the bodies that once hung from loops... Remember where we came from. Re-write history like the bible. Re-write war and peace. We call soldiers "property of uncle sam". Brainwashed to believe in 'the man' and his plans. Slavery doesn't segregate anymore. We're all in on this together. This time. We stand in unison. All in on this together. Revolution is freedom.

My mind never turns off Like light from the stars after dawn My conscious switch has been stomped By the force of biology And I can’t get a grip My thoughts continue to romp Out loud, and I scream them Cause they scream at me too I have no control of it There’s nothing I can do Conscious and subconscious? I don’t believe in separation of the two I think a mile a minute My mind is a rendezvous For both of their needs They help fuel me, And segregate only when I refuse to be free I must say, It makes everything more fun The sky seems so vast And every single blade of grass Is just as interesting as the one next to it Every rain drop of dew Shines with a light On lawn where it grew, From the sun that shuns It’s growth, when it hides beyond the clouds I breathe it in when it decides to come out It’s life I just want to sing the thoughts I have Because I don’t know How to say them all, without forgetting In the next few minutes, When my mind is burned with then need To explore even more

we so easily pluck weeds from the garden because the look unruly and don’t go with the tulips but in life we don’t segregate the suicidal, emotional, and unstable because they are that way from the steady breathers we are a world of dandelions with a rare tulip

He sits being torn through words of scorn The realisation is starting to form Through broken letters of hate and neglect One finds his own inner respect Now understands what they call "forgiveness" Even though these lines are relentless They're broken attempts to dismay his heart These segregate demons apart For he is now a growing system Growing stronger in rhythm Accepting light in new places Welcoming new faces All he desires is be the best he can be That being said "He" is me -Joseph B Schneider

Forgive And Forget
Sometimes you are caught Between the intersections Of you and your reflection Wondering, about the reality So much happens between Exchanges with your reflection Mirroring what you want to see And what reality actually is Try to touch the portrayed image Segregate the inner reality And the outer façade for the world Mirror what you really are And your reflection will embrace you Given the clarity, that shatters The reflection of a reflection Thus blossoms the image from the heart Mirror will be glistening with pride

Your Reflection
I grew up knowing to accept hate It was a childhood version of how to segregate Children were never kind to me through the years Forming more hate that built up and filled with fears I was lucky compared to most kids though I never had a true taste of hate I had yet to know In the past kids were segregated for their race It was as if this entire world bashed them for taking up some space The entire nation was once split in two Brother after brother is something we all knew The north and south each all fighting for something not alike But that only made the hope of happiness winning to begin to spike A great man stood in the great battle field between us all Un-segregating those who needed it afterall He was shot dead fighting for what he wanted Some people really didn't know his hopes and they felt daunted Today we fight another battlefield of pain Thought must of this fighting is in vain A man took the lives of many Americans twelve years ago Destroyed the very being of America that we used to know When the depression ran throught the nation We still had to deal with all of the segregation It ran through all of us as people living in peace Chopping us up as humans without need piece by piece Another war is in sight though we choose not to see it A fatal blow to many of us as if we got hardly hit Seperation throught the nation through segregation in our own eye Whether we be gay, straight, trans, or even bi We're all still people and still human If only we truly knew about it then I grew up in a world free of most types of hate But we all knew we all live in a world who chooses to segregate

Door is a set-up to detach open and closed,   Door is a make-up to split between outsider and insider, Door is a structure to segregate have and haven’t, Door is an arraignment to cover up sin, Door is a perturb to nature, Door is a device to support legacy of abuse, Door is a tool to manipulate truth for concealing the phony;   Door is a tragedy to humanity to isolate it from bionetwork; Get up and come together to break the door to fortify bionetworks!

it's not a problem when there's nothing to sweat, the humidity between your fingers only exists if you let it. disconnection from socialization is nothing immoral, more than anything, it's probable. no eye contact at uncomfortably long red-lights, don't try to discuss the compartimentalizing in the back of your head. you are a molecule. molecules are small, you are small. on second thought, think more about what i couldn't stand in the world than what i would change. consider the opportunity and bottle enthusiasm like it's a commodity. segregate mind from self. seperate syllables, content, and over-accumilation. inside, i would never expect you to work your own way out. and again, i spat out black, fine lined ******** there was no more than the predetermined depth that they've come to expect from me, i went no further than to soak my readers, then force them out still wet: go ahead, drip-dry from my dignity. it's like the fire they insisted deserves to be cradled in a cage. because freedom is threat: consuming until she bursts into a sheet of liquidated decision. but there is still room for appreciation: for the consistency of light, warmth and relativity. swallow back a mouthful of something i cannot pronounce. what does it matter if losing sleep makes you feel ten, the lie is still that you're twenty-seven. but what drove through, down, enough to come out the other side, is still being ignored. my loyalty proved as a stunt in the precious growth you claim i lacked. just when it became lyrical the reality becomes increasingly evident, no woman needs poetry about the sun, or the starving lions out back. so just let me burn in the grass. because it'd only be wasting my time, airing out. it's your pope's, not my prophecy that doesn't believe in the gravity you say forced you to fall into me. one day you'll laugh. one day i'll stop getting lost when i drive to new places. one day the water will stop running from our taps. i'm sure you realize i sexualized you, like the young thing i am. i should apologize, but i'm also pretty sure you don't mind. rewind: you'll go to waste like fine wine, and i'll drive you home over the phone.

Surrounded yet completely alone, It's the rule that our mothers taught us, always stay together. Together, entanglement binds it together, Predators take at ease to engulf, consume. Those that swim, flow solo. So I remain huddled, I merge and now I'm surrounded, All the same, completely isolated. I stay for hope, protection and direction, is this a false impression? Split, torn in silence I suffer, So I turn back to reflect, "I had, I have control, right?" I segregate and eliminate the feeling of metamorphosis, From prayer to predator. Now I've shifted gears, further up the food chain once more, Again, I'm surrounded yet completely alone. Though, this time I've grown! Poem by Lionelle Nsarhaza

"No man loves God who hates his kind; Who tramples on his Brother's heart and soul. Who seeks to shackle, cloud or fog the mind By fears of Hell has not perceived our goal. God-sent are all religions blest; And Christ; the Way, the Truth and Life To give the heavy-laden rest And peace from Sorrow, Sin and Strife. At His request the Universal Spirit came To all the churches; not to one alone; On Pentecostal morn a tongue of flame Round each apostle as a halo shone. Since then, as vultures ravenous with greed, We oft have battled for an empty name And sought by dogma, edict, creed, To send each other to the flame. Is Christ then divided? Was Cephas or Paul Nailed to the Cross to die ? If not: Then why these divisions at all? Christ's love doth enfold you and I. His pure sweet love is not confined By creeds which segregate and raise a wall. His love enfolds, embraces Humankind; No matter what ourselves or him we call. Then why not take Him at His word? Why hold to creeds which tear apart ? But one thing matters be it heard, That brother-love fill every heart. There is but one thing that the world has need to know; There is but one balm for all our human woe; There is but one way that leads to heaven above; That way is human sympathy and love."

Creed of Christ by Max Heindel
Justice for all? **** near justice for none! People die everyday, Because the world can't control their guns Innocent people die in vain. If the police do a crime, Is it ok? They are suppose to set an example! If a citizen does a crime, Is it ok? Is it acceptable? Do we really have to get arrested? Cops **** people that seem like a threat. An innocent person, An innocent child dies, Because cops are on some dumb **** They feel as though, Since they're white or the "law" They can get away with **** If every arrogant ******* did that Then we might as well segregate the world And bring the KKK back. If we was on that racist ******** Martin Luther King's dream Will go down the drain And the Constitution "establish justice," Will now become disdain. Freedom at last? More like freedom has past. Where is the justice we deserve?! If we keep this up, We will become, "land of the coward and home of the ***** Or "home of the ******** That shoot you on the spot And dont give a **** whos watching!" Teens die without getting there justice, And im not talking about, The ******* teens who ******** But the ones where they're all Set for school on monday And get shot in the head Before the next morning! If the govenmrnt is all about education, Then why are we getting shot By their racist?! Where is our justice? Should we just forget about it And move on? I cant sit here And let our justice be taken While those ******** Are getting away with ****** Im sorry mike Your justice havent been served. I pray to god Those sick ******** get what they deserve! No family should suffer from their lost Like they do. Justice will come, For those who lost it all.

Even as separate and alone As we can feel sometimes We are all connected to Each other in some way This society tells us that We are separate and we Have to fend for ourselves Our else someone else Might take what I have Or somehow take what I own or what I have Spent my hard earned Money to buy and to Obtain without thinking About the other people Around them who are Needing some love and Comfort and healing and All they need is a kind Word or a person to let Them know that things Will be ok and that Everything will be alright And that they can make It one more day and Helping each other Where we can simply Because we can rather Than trying to figure Out what we can get From that person in Return or trying to Manipulate them into Getting what we want For our own gain and Profit when if we just Asked and shared with Each other there would Be no need for stealing Or for wars or the need To feel separate or alone Because we would live As a community of people Actively working together To help each other where We needed and helping To heal people from The heart as well We tend to separate and Segregate people instead Of acknowledging the Beautiful diversity of Life and of people as Well when we should Be celebrating our Uniqueness while at The same time Understand that We are all one And we come From the same Source and that Even though we Might have different Ways of feeling Or seeing or Interpreting things Doesn't mean that Someone else's view Is wrong is just another Way to look at something From a different angle Than you might have Originally been able to See on your own and Being able to learn from Each other instead of Trying to force our Ideas our thoughts On another and if We get to the point Where we understand We are one we could Never hurt or harm Or steal or even have Wars because we would Understand that we are All the same and if I harm You I am harming a piece Of me and when you can Get to that understanding Of life and nature and of People as well you will Start to see things in a Different way than you Have ever seen before

Even as separate and alone As we can feel sometimes We are all connected to Each other in some way This society tells us that We are separate and we Have to fend for ourselves Our else someone else Might take what I have Or somehow take what I own or what I have Spent my hard earned Money to buy and to Obtain without thinking About the other people Around them who are Needing some love and Comfort and healing and All they need is a kind Word or a person to let Them know that things Will be ok and that Everything will be alright And that they can make It one more day and Helping each other Where we can simply Because we can rather Than trying to figure Out what we can get From that person in Return or trying to Manipulate them into Getting what we want For our own gain and Profit when if we just Asked and shared with Each other there would Be no need for stealing Or for wars or the need To feel separate or alone Because we would live As a community of people Actively working together To help each other where We needed and helping To heal people from The heart as well We tend to separate and Segregate people instead Of acknowledging the Beautiful diversity of Life and of people as Well when we should Be celebrating our Uniqueness while at The same time Understand that We are all one And we come From the same Source and that Even though we Might have different Ways of feeling Or seeing or Interpreting things Doesn't mean that Someone else's view Is wrong is just another Way to look at something From a different angle Than you might have Originally been able to See on your own and Being able to learn from Each other instead of Trying to force our Ideas our thoughts On another and if We get to the point Where we understand We are one we could Never hurt or harm Or steal or even have Wars because we would Understand that we are All the same and if I harm You I am harming a piece Of me and when you can Get to that understanding Of life and nature and of People as well you will Start to see things in a Different way than you Have ever seen before

The chill of winter bites into the skin And the valley sleeps in muffled din In the freezing blustery winter night The shivering trees stay huddled and tight Stars have lined up in the sky With cotton clouds swiftly sailing by The moon light seeping through the veil Makes the foliage glisten in the dale Sharp noises sounding eerie Leave the valley a place so scary These sounds parley in a tongue unknown Of gory tales, to none ever known Did some cannibal tribe once congregate In this nether territory to live segregate What midnight revels had they held No one knows and history remains cold Now, here amid thickets and thorny shrubs Where darkness, like a Fiend proudly struts And in leaf fringed corners and crevices wide Serpents coil with poisonous fangs in hide      Look, the sly fox walking stealthily away After feeding greedily on his hapless prey, Through the ravine and down the furrow How he sneaks into his covert burrow The glassy brook that mirrored the skies Now in dark, under a thick blanket lies But the water rushing through pebbles and rocks With sonorous music, the nightly calm breaks Among the branches of towering trees Birds have perched and roost in peace Little birdies with downy feathers Cuddle under their mothers splayed wings From far off woods comes a shrieking howl As frightening as the hoots of a night owl Wind, rushing through needle pines Sounds like a child when he, in pain whines Now the valley sleeps in muffled din Until the Sun for his daily ritual parades in In day light this valley would be up and awake And life for sure will a renewed turn take

The Valley on a Winter Night !
The chill of winter bites into the skin And the valley sleeps in muffled din In the freezing blustery winter night The shivering trees stay huddled and tight Stars have lined up in the sky With cotton clouds swiftly sailing by The moon light seeping through the veil Makes the foliage glisten in the dale Sharp noises sounding eerie Leave the valley a place so scary These sounds parley in a tongue unknown Of gory tales, to none ever known Did some cannibal tribe once congregate In this nether territory to live segregate What midnight revels had they held No one knows and history remains cold Now, here amid thickets and thorny shrubs Where darkness, like a Fiend proudly struts And in leaf fringed corners and crevices wide Serpents coil with poisonous fangs in hide      Look, the sly fox walking stealthily away After feeding greedily on his hapless prey, Through the ravine and down the furrow How he sneaks into his covert burrow The glassy brook that mirrored the skies Now in dark, under a thick blanket lies But the water rushing through pebbles and rocks With sonorous music, the nightly calm breaks Among the branches of towering trees Birds have perched and roost in peace Little birdies with downy feathers Cuddle under their mothers splayed wings From far off woods comes a shrieking howl As frightening as the hoots of a night owl Wind, rushing through needle pines Sounds like a child when he, in pain whines Now the valley sleeps in muffled din Until the Sun for his daily ritual parades in In day light this valley would be up and awake And life for sure will a renewed turn take

on the Practice
I'm going to escape it all for a day No socialization, no worries No hint of fear, no hidden glory Nothing but myself, to whom I'll tell a story No one to talk to, No thoughts to consume me No one to tend to and no clowns to amuse me Just lay there awake with melodies soothing my mind. Looking deeper at life, now that I have the time When I'm done drowning and segregate from my box I'll wait at the door, and wonder if you'll knock I hope you forgive me without even a reason Because even a lonely summer could be such a cold season

Escape.
they sentenced anarchy to death in 1887. in the wake of the Haymarket Affair, they tried in vain to hang a fifth figure on a chilly November day, attempted to fit a noose on an idea that's bullet-proof. solidarity. liberty. equality. a refrain that remains in remembrance of Engel, Fischer, Parsons, Spies, and every man, woman, and child whose life was robbed by the State before his or her time. a mantra celebrating the universal qualities capable of unifying humanity even in the face of an apparatus arraigned to divide and segregate. we march in Chicago and Seattle, in Toronto and NYC, continuing the fight they began for dignity and a living wage— our burning rage growing to a conflagration as we wave black flags and reclaim the city streets from killer cops and corporate oligarchs. authority an illusion we will shed   in the tides of black and red, united against injustice.

I am the rain you are the flower. My sun, are the thoughts that gave you your power. You reached for the stars and pedaled much harder. Fixating on your own flower makes you lose sight, our origin same planet. Conditioned to only love your own kind. What ego, refocus on what matters. Cultivate integrity, flourish then gather. Our beliefs are not ours, they're captured in moments, in hours. Discipline and take control of your 24 hours. But who am I to tell you that’s foolish, that’s madder. My empathy sees you have to conform to the fish bowl that’s hard, can’t shatter. Just like the dreams, I dream they don’t break, gray matter. My vision expanded and shut out the chatter. Comprehend the same things that unite, segregate. Meditate, create space and gravitate. Coexistence is all that there is. I have sight I’m not blind to the prescribed consensus. Need I mention all these misconceptions? Illusions placed to distract and deceive. Dogma, a human construct a pattern we feed. These connections run deep, these roots are from Saturn. This gift of space and time gave us, one ocean, one planet. Treat it as such and radiate peace and love before… you all vanish. The greater good. My mission, my passion, my… mind over matter.

we have been deceived. corralled like tepid sheep, fattened beef waiting beyond the doors of the slaughterhouse. as pigs lick their lips, a daemon’s death dirge drifts listless across the Atlantic, an erratic dichotomy corroding rationality— this executive edict barring refugees. caught without a compass, a flotilla of ships weathering the elements. for forty days and forty nights, we’ve been lead two-by-two by elephants and donkeys. demagogues commandeered the lighthouse, directing our ark across scattered rocks. an armada of shattered splinters, remnants of water-logged vessels we’d hoped to sail to utopia. caught in the webs we wove, droves of drones spewing bombs across Aleppo. as spittle collects on spluttering orange lips, will we pause for but a moment? collect our thoughts. reflect. history is a shattered mirror and we’ve pricked our fingers trying to piece the image back together. there’s a hunger for blood refracting in our eyes. a misanthropy that smarts and stings. a recalcitrant population coerced by a television rhetorician’s clever devices, devised to separate and segregate during this crisis caused by our missiles. there is no moral arc to the universe. hope, Hedges wrote, is mania if it remains vapid and refuses to address the depravity of our physical reality. we’ve already lost. just ask the children barely clinging to life, covered in the debris of their former homes. all that’s left for us is to bash the fascists. smash every illusory border in our heads and hearts. burn down the walls they try to build around us. overturn the tables of the oligarchs, stuff Molotov cocktails down their bloated throats. open revolt is our only hope. we’ll build a sanctuary in this City Beautiful.

We blame our fathers We call them traitors We wish they had fought We analyze and criticize! But; while we slept… Our villages were attacked Our houses were ransacked Our lives… shattered! Under our noses Our heroes fell, Like petals of roses. While we made merry… Our women were ***** Our girls were enslaved Our maidens… depraved! Under our watch Our cattle were looted Our farms were torched. While we fraternized… Our children were slaughtered Our youths were murdered Our species… endangered! How long shall we segregate? While they usurp our heritage. How long, till our place in history Becomes a “Once upon…” story? © Raphael Uzor

While We Slept...
A voluntary victim of life Parasites called eyes What we see are lies We learn to segregate our intuition from physicalities You gotta unfold inward A paradoxical lesson of how to 'wake up'
