Marilyn Monroe - Diamonds Are a Girls Best friend's
Marilyn Monroe - Diamonds are a girl’s Best friend Diamonds, Rusted or shiny, are my best companions when times are tough When my crystal tear drops from My Deer fawn eyes Sparkling champagne with a bottle of red wine would do just right On rainy nights of such gloom Diamonds, rusted or shiny, are my best friends when my days...

Premium Member BLACK DEFORESTATION
BLACK DEFORESTATION Like innocent trees rooted and growing In a black social forest, we’re being chopped down by roving lumberjack officers of the law, as if we were arboreal-like diseased black growths:- Ironically, such deforestation, is a view of jurisprudence Along this forest trail, least traveled by the blind goddess Of justice, as she forgivingly hugs guilt with minor reprimand:- While it...

Premium Member American Migrants
Why do we give them employment let them come here and build a new life Never give them a permanent status make them live on the edge of a knife They pick most of the crops that we purchase care for children, disabled and old Yet they’re forced to survive in the shadows live in silence, and do what they’re told We are...

Melanin Glow
Born from the sun's ancient kiss, A gift wrapped in golden brown bliss, I carry the stories of ancestors proud, Their strength echoing clear and loud. Melanin flowing through my veins, Like rivers of cocoa after the rains, Each shade a testament to divine design, From ebony deep to honey wine. They tried to dim this sacred light, But stars were born to shine...

Premium Member Drooping Flowers, Blaze Of Grass, And Us
Dropping Flowers, Blades Of Grass, And Us Like flowers droop but refuse to die from the heat, like tanned fields subsumed in the struggle to survive and keep the flow of transpiration, like the trodden blades of grass pushing through sidewalk holes to capture the cosmic energy that fuels them onward the victory they seek to be free, we, like all of nature, must continue to travel the jubilee road...

The Caged Bird Still Sings
Written By: D. Collins 7/7/25 I know the names of some of the greatest to ever dawn black skin. Dr. Charles Drew, Miles Davis, Malcolm X, and James Baldwin. Generations from now their achievements will be overlooked. Due to coordinated efforts to remove them from history books. There were the Buffalo Soldiers and Tuskegee Airmen. Maya Angelou and descriptive writings...

Kundalini
They told me it coils, waiting— some snake of light at the root of all this flesh. But what stirred in me was quieter than myth. Not fire, not ecstasy— just a flicker behind the ribs when I wasn’t asking for anything at all. It didn’t climb, it drifted, slow and unsure like the memory of a song you’re not sure you dreamed. No chakras flared. No visions came. Only my...

USPS Stamps Poetry Contest
To have your picture on the face of a stamp, Is a honor reserved for the ones who cultivated change Among the mèlange of inspiring faces, Lays the face of someone who served on the basis, Of freedom Behind a small black and white picture, A mighty face lays With eyes of a fighter, eloquent hair, neatly parted The words, Black white Trust danger Defiance hope All...

Invisible
Only those who’ve seen beauty can truly speak of it, And only those neglected can feel its sting. When the world sees you as a threat— Judging from a glance, no words spoken— They turn away, Despising you instantly. To be unappealing in a world drawn to allure Can break a soul and leave it weak. ...

Premium Member Golden Shovel Meets Blind Goddess of Justice
… after Langston Hughes You know how they do. They say that we run, that we fit descriptions, but justice ain’t blind, she just sees who she wants. Is it any wonder we hold our breath? A body ain’t a body when they label it a threat. Blind fold her, watch...

Red, White And Black Blues
The white man stole their land now the red man has the blues the white man sold their families and the black man's still ill-used the white man shot the American buffalo now the red man sings the blues the white man put their people in chains and the black man's grief accrues the white house is to blame the Government just the same the...
