His last thoughts
Dedicated to George Stinney Jr
The mind of a child
Is one supposed to be filled with innocence
But his was clouded with fear
Barely out of the womb
And already he would be buried in a tomb
He barely had time to start life
Barely had time to love and be loved
He barely had time to be a

My Encounters With Racism and Accusations of Racial Priviledge
It was 2019 when someone accused me of being in denial of the privileges I had as a white man. At the time I felt uncomfortable with this. I didn't understand how I had any advantage socially or economically over black people. I knew how I felt about racism, I had seen examples of

Accusations
"I'm short
I'm fat
I'm a wh*re
My a*s is too flat
I b*tch too much
And play too little
I'm nothing but a sl*t
Who f*ks for crystal
I'm never happy
Always sad
My hair is too nappy
I only make you mad
I suck in bed
Can't give good he*d
I'm not capable of making money
So I'm a thief instead
I'm ugly and disgusting
Nobody can trust

False Accusations, Part Vi
DETECTIVE
The detective sighed, sitting at his desk,
he’d been working this job for many years,
he remembered when Jessie had cried rape,
could recall her interviews, and her tears,
only to be proved the crocodile sort,
she had never answered for that in court.
The D.A. hadn’t wanted to charge her,
said it might ‘chill’ other women out there,
that they wouldn’t come

...Even worse as his youngest grew bigger
he noticed things that had him quite alarmed,
the kid had blue eyes, Whitney’s had been brown,
his were brown too, he could not understand,
his facial features were not like Jerry’s,
he felt things he did not want to believe.
Jerry ignored it as long as he could,
but that dark thoughts just kept

False Accusations, Part Iv
...A child who’d never know a father
that had deserved him more than she could tell,
knowing that she must lie to her husband,
the truth of it would not end very well.
The moments when she should feel only joy,
she just felt despair she could not avoid.
The weight of it all pushed Whitney to drink,
she hid it well,

...He still felt the urge to comfort Whitney,
to tell her he didn’t blame her for this,
that all of this had been Jesse’s doing,
but the words just didn’t come to his lips.
But Whitney’s lips did, she was in his arms,
even now he felt helpless to her charms.
Later that night, in his small apartment,
she dressed quietly, and

...His starting point, after much hustling,
was a diner at the edge of the town,
the man who had once built massive bridges
now spent his days at work frying hash browns.
Working for a pittance, day after day,
the only place that would dare give him pay.
About three months into doing such work,
just after the breakfast rush was complete,
he

DETECTIVE
The murder of the noted activist
took the whole community by surprise,
Jessie Malinche was known by the whole town,
some had praised her, others said she spoke lies,
for years she had fought, had ‘stood for women,’
this was where the detective did begin.
The killer’s identity was well-known,
Jerry Riggins, a local lawyer-type,
the motive was what they hadn’t got yet,
the

Accusations
Politics mirror religion
Few want to concede their belief
While not privy to behind closed doors
A hero may be shown a thief!
So tone down those accusations
The unknown may be known greater
Don't shout too hard your affiliation
It might be, laugh now and cry later!

Sharpness of His Accusations
She feels the sharpness of his accusations,
trembles and shakes with every strike,
injustice corruption beneath her frustrations,
a short noose around her neck too tight.
Trembles and shakes with every strike,
malevolent attacks engulfed in his offense,
a short noose around her neck too tight,
contradictions of fear living in suspense.
Malevolent attacks engulfed in his offense,
injustice corruption beneath her frustrations,
contradictions of

ACCUSATIONS
The accusations,
Unleashed by the false tongue,
Venomous arrows of rage
Became,
Heading for the heart that once
Was loved
Seeking revenge at all cost,
But
The target unharmed remained
As
Protected was
By
The shield of innocence!

His Accusations
Flowers stand
Stretching to meet rays,
Which nurture and replinish.
Winds blow,
Bending and flexing stems.
Roots rest,
Nestled deep in the earth.
Comfortable, content, in its place.
Eyes for beauty glance and beam.
Spring is here!
For me alone,
Colors blanket frozen ground.
For me alone,
They birth new beginnings.
For me alone,
God has given all another chance.
I bend,
Kneeling beside one
Which I've chosen.
I rip it's roots
From it's

False Accusations
Bitter cold as I sit in my room
Snow falling heavy
and I’m hit by the gloom.
Now I’m in deep thought
wondering what went wrong…
How’d they come up with this?
Feels like being accused falsely
of taking someone else’s song
Guess that’s why ignorance is a bliss
So they’re accustomed to being stuck in the midst.
On the way to
