Note

Note:I write to you in hopes that you are not treated like the children harmed by popes I write in hopes that you cope well with the fact that I feel compelled to use you to quell my raging thoughts
I halt with thought that I may take you to the limit and out of context
you see I write you and its kinda complex
I turn to you, a simple note to play upon my heart strings and bring an ounce of sanity to this noteless world filled with vanity
I candidly admit that I pick you
Note: to hold my impulses and give them life
Note: you are the reason why I write

Mirrors

Reflections reflect
What you cannot recollect
Remember the irrational
Reason the reside is in your reflection
Reflecting like a reflector
Remember reconsider reflecting
Within your reservoir retreat
Reflect upon your rational self and relocation
Is what you will reconsider.

Black Folk

We pledge allegiance
To the colors of Butter’ Tims, 20-inch rims, diamond emblems, platinum gems,
Sex icons with the latest fashines.
Enshrined in acrylic nails that can’t post bail.
Ya’ll can’t tell?
We pledge allegiance
To looking good and ain’t gotta pot to piss or shit.
Wearing name brand clothing and can’t pronounce it.
Buying high priced jewels looking like fools.
Buying two-dollar stocking caps when granny got that!
Running ball in ney best kicks and get mad when a brotha’ step on it.
Connected to a cell to be paged while on the bus stop delayed.
Stay paid and always broke,
Gotta Bally’s membership and don’t even work.
Talkin’ ‘bout, “I’m serious” when they a big joke.

Coal

Cyber-sex began on pen and pad
Whose mental is on point
Like gift of gab
Yet exact as gentle
The deepest sentimental
Foreplay with the dental
Manifest with the pencil
Tongues be the stencil
Thoughts spark the kindle
While separated in limbo
It's suitable unrootable
Beautiful yet unusual

O.N.E.I.
