Notes About The Poem

Same Anymore Mediocre-

Things are not the same anymore--
People wash their hearts with mediocre

Busted pieces spilled and cracked;
Now a later point in time;
Just like a candy-bar melting;

Things won’t be the same anymore;
People wash their hands before;

Dirty feet and broken teeth;
Baby crying in the crib;
Doesn’t mean he can speak, lie and fib;

Muddle waters;
I taste, I drink;
I take my bathes in the kitchen sink;
My pinky toe smells like rotten eggs;
On the lawn under the porch where I sleep, I lay;

Things are not the same anymore;
People wash their hearts with mediocre;

Dirty minds and broken hearts;
Mother’s and wife’s burying their sons and husbands from the crib;
Urban slum ghetto ridge such an unruly way to live;
Doesn’t mean justice and liberty can speak, it so do lie and fib;

Things are not the same anymore;
People wash their hearts with mediocre;
