Best Face Facts Poems

there comes a time when
people you once respected
reveal
or you discover
the real
person behind the mask

face facts
people who never wanted you
to do better
than them
are now wishing
that you would 
shut your mouth
stop your tweeting
delete your facebook
get out of the streets
why are you 
so loud

like the screams of 
the...

You think you're Godzilla 
but you're just a Gorilla,
that's what happens when you've got gonorrhea,
my skin colours vanilla
my skills are killa and real
you're run of the mill, a fail
can't you tell you didn't do well,
that Kartel manure smell
of Kountry music don't sell,
a wannabe that wants...

"The Returning" 

Inside us all 
a strange forest

where light and dark 
are fed to us by 
curious creatures,
their unexpected gods 

in thoughts and deeds
joy and fear 
hate and love 
belief and disbelief

inwards
our dreams 
turn to
The Returning 

a place we think
we’ve never been 

we drift inwards
facing...

Pig feet, hog maws, chitterlings, yams, greens and cornbread,
These are some of the things that our bodies are being fed.
Fat back, ribs, neck bones, macaroni and cheese;
Our hearts and arteries are crying, please, please, please.

Buttered rice, succulent greasy peas and a thin-layered chocolate cake,
We keep...

Let’s face facts you’re a motherloving no one
couldn’t find a flow if you were looking at the ocean 
I’ll stand and deliver like I’m living in a river
Your thoughts are all flops 
like the tap drips drops

just a monkey in a mosh pit flinging your...

Your face contorts in a twisted effort
Plaintive in non-decorous reverberation
A terrain around a pair of distant orbs 
Lost in extemporaneous consternation
To ward off the fear of unwanted evanescence
Upon the wanton revelation
Of a day you wish had never existed
Tremors beset a set of fingers 
While the...

Opportunity for Unity

What we saw after so much scrutiny;
Minds must not meddle with mutiny;
Racial bias no more,
Or try to even score;
Seek a perfect opportunity for unity.

Trump was ambiguous and avoiding
and putting off making decisions last
night as usual. He...

"Plumage"



We are the iridescent gems
kicked like rubble
gifts to give

we walk souls 
in dead bodies
all colours, plumage to be free

accepted our truth,
is shunned by the better ones
we are viewed obscenities

integrity takes courage
honesty by the beautiful ones
broken down by frowning whispers

bits of us shine 
put together again...

You’ve got a key in your pocket, black salt in your hair. Smoke in your whispers, and rust in your stare.  Tears run down your cheeks and your gaze goes cold. Face facts lil’ mama, we’re all ganna’ grow old. Left hands’ reaching for...

Can we ever truly right the wrongs of the past?
Seems to me what was done cannot be undone,
And I am not a proponent of crippling remorse
So, let’s just face facts, as they were, and resolve
To learn from our mistakes, moving steadily on.
Must we pay the...

A cool Summer breeze... 
Brings pollen to allergies's 
own wheeze and sneeze.

Maple leafs wave against many southern winds...
Rain drops pelt rooftop's of metaled building's dins.

Storms affront the lakes of lands...
Nature's wrath confronts plans of man.

Flash floods push Californian landslides down hills
against homes a-plenty.
All about ruined...

No Longer Here Will Remain

Had heard softy sound of a distant drum
After to all of his desires he did succumb
While lying there dreaming in his bed
Having to face facts he often would dread.

What if pregnant she were to become?
And me like an idiot who was...

Impatiently she waits; anxious and as usual
begging God to intervene with a phone call,
an invitation, she was unwilling to wait for.
Her prayers were in earnest - full of promises.

God is a good judge, He exposes falsehood
and He said no, a clear no.  This is...

Last year I enrolled in trendy gym
Was enthusiastic about being slim
Have to say I was intimidated
When personal trainer demonstrated.

Spandex-clad my body held in
Mirror torments this fight will win
Parked on a bicycle going nowhere fast
Five minutes later completely downcast.

Rowing machine? yes I'll have a go
This only...
