Poem Title:
Poem
Look at them, tangled in insignificant conversation about politics or stereotypes of blacks, whites and Asians, lack of youth education, weather ruined vacations, how inflation squeezing their arm like “yo, I got you taken, and how fuel became a bill from the money that we are making. They sacrifice the savings to keep a standard of living. I hear then talking about their lovers lack of love that they are giving I say communicate or leave because time is steady ticking Look at them Buying expensive rims, and high fashion clothes with sneakers, lugz, and tims. Inside I soul spy like magnified mri’s an imaginary field force of selfishness and pride. Careless if they fetus die, cry internal cause maternal really means giving up a lot. They sacrifice the club shot for shot life and dreams and the scene of kings and queens all decken together… and their business is each others infused for forever playing tether with the ball of a pendulum. Uncovered are their memories of covers and words they’ve past uttered…it is just another case of lack of patience Like gimme good but hold the impregnation. Bright futures still there steady waitin Look at them Thinking they can plan their lives, brake the rules of the beehive that ran their lives, make a little honey to expand their lives, then forget they folk turn around forget they wives. See she lost her heart and he aint got no eyes but in such a dark world that man is king.’ Look at her flaunting that ring then pawning that ring because all that mattered was a shiny thing. Not the signs Look at them tryna rewind. Relight the spark that wouldn’t stay the last 20 times It should be a crime to try to live back there. Yo people do change but change is rare They put it all on retail so it can be re-teared All the hurt made them cold so they don’t care Blinded by the glare, and the lights and such Look at them! Don’t they know they done sold too much? In for a short time touch instead of long term goals People drive through they souls without no tolls All control each other’s minds fueled hearts by coal So hard, so swoll, so invincible is external Look at them bout to blow so internal Would you look at them actually living My observations vicarious as information I’m giving Look at me all input but no answer All I am is input but not the answer
