Best 200 Poems

I grew up at a very fast pace and I wasn't slowing down for
anybody. 
    
    As a child, I was tired of being told by the adults what I could
and couldn't do.

The history of the two hundred year war
T'was blackness at it core

A Feudal Economic plan
It good conscience it couldn't stand

Thousands died in fields of waste
Quenching its bitter taste

Edits like Dred Scott
Its effect not soon forgot

Raiding maunders of the Klug Klux Klan 
Hanging trees and a...

2OO poems
To my 2OO women
Living legacy for my 2OO generations
Hopping falling in divisions
Written 2OO letters
Sharing 2OO words
Tip toeing restoring 2OO reasons
Asking words a shivering my heart
Beating in 2OO beats
Figure’s broken in 2OO bones
Still possessed in exorcism in 2OO curses
Flashes
Camouflage
Splashes
Reflections in 2OO spectrums

Defining illusions in 2OO...

If I could share this picture with you
I would, my dear writers, Beloveds -
Because Earth births us again & again
Long after burial, giving back, post-death
Nature in majesty: birds at play in scores

I see egrets commute to & from, my abused lake,
Here where plastic is king,...

Blood beyond this room -
Flows to scream -
Where i wake -
Breaks a river to tear into a stream -
Wrists, bound to the blade -
I am veined to the twist -
Wild by nature -
Matured to be unknown - Sentenced by the present -
To live -
I have...

I used to never cry when characters died
In books. Their deaths were words on pages
That my eyes roamed over. In search 
Of conflict. The screams of childless 
Mothers seeped through the paper, 
Always falling on deaf ears.

Pain used to be a mild acquaintance. 
One kept...

I
Times when one had right to stop one's Beloved
From leaving on a trip, urgent but uncovered
For these times. Omicron has made Africa notorious
But Level 1 Lockdown prevents me being imperious
So, freedom still reigns in my home, we say goodbye
Mind flies ahead to the return (Quarantine...

Paws on pilgrimage, a faithful friend
Walked beside his master, 'til journey's end
But Pandharpur's crowds, a moment's distraction
Loyal companionship faced subtraction

Ten days of travel, now lost in a blink
Human hearts are heavy, beginning to sink
Searched high and low, called out his name
But the holy town's chaos...

I’ve barely started to walk, feet ache
still figuring out how to make a poem.
Some lines come easy while some stuck
but I keep running round the clock.

Each day might pull me a different way
some soft with hope and some hard to say.
But if I show up...
