Best Happing Poems
The Fifties were really and truly not all that square
Though that dullard Dwight D. sat in the Executive Chair
And his frumpy wife Mamie had really bad hair
Matching those dowdy, plain dresses she'd wear ...
While husbands toiled in obscurity for large corporations
The "Ugly Americans," reviled by most other nations
Their stay-at-home wives feeling mostly frustration
Downing "happing pills" daily instead of real medication
Their sons sporting letter sweaters, obedient jocks,
Their daughters in plaid skirts and white bobby socks
Penny loafers and saddle shoes were in for ten years
Along with white levis and coca-cola -- never rum, never beer
Yet how about Krushchev's dust-ups with Tricky Dick Nixon
What about Sputnik 1 and the panic it put us in
And remember George Wallace and old Lester Maddux
Hosing down *******, echoes of Crispus Attucks ...
The rise of brutal pro football threatened apple pie and baseball
Heralding the next decade's premiere spectator sport, i.e., 'spaceball'
Joe McCarthy dug up the dirt of a "red scare's" nitty gritty
In the work of the House un-American Activities Committee
Then there was Rosa Parks refusing to sit in the back of the bus
Championing the yearning for justice in so many of us
And the music, the music, so outrageously wild
Chuck Berry, Richie Valens, the Big Bopper -- that overgrown child
Yes, the Fifties were really and truly not all that square
Though we shan't heed the call of those who'd return us to there
And now a massive hole in the ozone layer
Global warming, not really mentioned before
Like all the wild life and all of the agriculture
Fossil fuels were burning, destroying the core
Rain forests now fast becoming waste lands
Polluting the atmosphere with our toxic waste
And to think all of this done at our own hands
Before long there won't be any human race
Change's in the weather, changes in altitudes
And this only contributes to famine and disease
If we're so clever why not change our attitudes?
Perhaps were blind to it all, no one then see's
That the situation is only going to perpetuate
We are warned by mother earth, mother nature
We will one day pay for the damage we create
Is it worth doing something now? rather than later
note ................
AGAIN A BIT MORE OF A POLITICAL AND UNIVERSAL ISSUE A BIT LIKE THAT
OF WORLDS STATE, A JILTED BENERATION , AND ELEMENTS OF LIFE
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
this I did mention brefliy in the original version of worlds state but something
wanted to write about seperlety similer to worlds state in the fact a never of many
issues that needs adressing though I do think the goverment has the power to do a lot
if they wanted to instead of dictaing these so called public school boys
why was this issue not adressd years ago in the fiftys sixes so on
the war cant be helping to the atmosphere
NOTE TO READERS OK LIKE OTHERS THIS WAS ON HERE BEFORE FELT A BIT TOO LONG DRAWN
WANTED TO UPDATE PUT INTO BETTER CONTEXT INSPERATION FROM RECENT NEWS AND WHATS HAPPING AT MOMENT
BUT WE HAVE HAD PLENTY OF WARNING
I dont kn ow to much on this subject so lously put togeather .....................................
If I could rap, it would probably be about how the people feel
Not just any old crap, you know something with more appeal
Maybe this and that but something thats a little bit more real
Talking of the less well off, not the ritches of all the toffe nose
You might scoff, but not refering to women as *****s and hoe's
Some might cough, I could have people in stitches who know's
Yo! I might not be as thick as I look, one of those simple minds
Rifmic?, I don't know, is there a hook, read between the lines
Some might take the mick, I'd better then duck at these times
Talking about adversity and emotion, talking you are in rhyme
Kind of like poetry in motion, expressing yourself in every line
Discussing all the anachy and comotion happing at this time
Trying to get a mesage across but in a different kind of speach
Talking about faith, hope and loss, getting to those out of reach
Some probably could not give a toss, but I'm not one to preach -
like the future the present and the past tense, not any old crap
It would not be the sort to cause offence, not just this and that
It would be something that made more sense,oh if I could rap
Written 2006 between july august probably to many cylibals
just playing with words some words lines
became apart of poem I wrote called no deeper meaning
written 2008 which is kind of like an introduction to everything else Id wrote
and a much better write
Your love is Near
From the lyrics on the duet of loneliness
I hade seen the spark in your eyes and your smile
It is not what the past is saying to you,
It is not what the present is displaying to you,
Not even what the future is predicting to you
I know you and I have seen the sparkling love in you,
I know how lovable you are and what you deserve
You are crowned to be lover;
Now stand for love, because your love is near
Now fall in love again, because love is loving you
Your love is in the roots of a perfumed linen of your soul
Your love is planted in the intersections of your sentiment and emotion
It is not what desperation is saying to you
Not even when financial struggles suffocate your hope
I know you as you are, breathing trough this lines,
I can feel your passion to help, care and sustain,
You had been prepared for this moment of follies
You are free to love, to be in love,
because your lover is near
I feel like declaring on the top of the mountain of chemistry,
That Your enzyme is ready to melt your lover down as butter,
Your lover will not imagine what is happing, while pulling in
The chemistry is translating the tension to attention
Increasing drops to the carnal sieve of your lovable spirit
It is not about tones and shapes as advertised around;
It mostly about the candle of your brilliances is screening
You are ready again for the game of passion and love living
Okay let me get this straight from nothing everything came out of the sea
Uniqueness being a common trait I don't see how this could be
Crickets, to the chicken on your plate and what about the tree
No this was so much more great look around and you shall see
Did the cricket become the cow or was it the other way around
To God they do not like to bow but this theory is so unsound
Some of them became fowl and to the earth were not bound
Others learning how to growl buried themselves in the ground
Some even stayed in the ocean even a mammal named the whale
When they too could of been men very hard to lose such a big tale
Some even became insects then choosing a life that would be so frail
It's God's Glory that reflects as no one would choose to become kale
Why didn't all monkeys make the change and what were they before
Is a raccoon out of the range for an ape doesn't just walk in the door
This whole theory very strange, some still too dumb in biting that lure
No! All of this, only God could arrange and of that I'm completely sure!
Genesis 1:21
And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
The Second Law of thermodynamics/Entropy says as
much as proven by science over 150 years ago.
You can not accept this Law of Science\Entropy,
which is a fact, and then believe in the theory of
Evolution which states the exact opposite.
They are exact opposites.
Odds of Bing Bang just happing 10 to the 123rd power
Number of atoms in the Universe 10 to the 73rd power
Number proving impossibility 10 to the 50th power
Only a God the Creator could create as such.
Even saying you will be without excuse for not knowing His Work.
When you look into a women eyes what do you see, do you see a benevolent sprit, airly light
as a futter of a feather, or a demon malicious wink
When you look into a women eyes what do you see, do you see the present events that's
happing, the furture events that gonna happen, or the past event that did happen and never
told what really happen
When you look into a women eyes what do you see, do you see her tairls, tribulations,
distress, her emotions as vast and distance as the oceans and sea's turmoil, toublesome or
calm, smooth swifty moving softy along
When you look into a women eyes what do you see, do you see her desires, wisdom, valor
do you see her failures, dreams, goals like clouds wandering aimlessy
When you look into a women eyes what do you see, do you see the uniqueness of her soul
made mavelously by heavenly divine hands, gifted to earth tested by life expecties
When you look into a women eyes what do you see, do you see her as who she is , suppose
to be, wants to be
When you look into a women eyes what do you see, or do you just see a women and nothing
else l

Ekphrasis after Shobboleth by Doris Salcedo (happing installation at Tate
Modern)
Things are heated, but she keeps telling herself that things will be "okay". Even if it doesn't. She still thinks about blaming herself! She's fighting the tears, because she wants to believe she desvers "better", but she can't believe it. She doesn't understand, what's going on? Why is it happing to her? What happen? She's not surprised, because this has happen to her before. She wants tp pretend that she doesn't care. But she can't anymore. She wants to be strong. But she can't stop thinking about all these thoughts and questions. What did SHE do wrong? Why is it happing, again?! What can she do to fix the problem? Or, can she even fix the problem? No! She can't, that's why she's so sad. She can't even find the word of how she's feeling right now, because at this point. It's way past broken.
where did it go this life is new to me,
the air smells different from the way it use to be.
the sky isn't as bright from before,
i dont want to feel this way nomore.
The walls are small this rooms closed in,
im the loser that can never win.
the mirror shows a reflection of a new face,
where did i got i was replaced!
the me i use to be is gone,
i've been living alone all along.
The sun is dim when i open my eyes,
So i close them to see no lies.
this world is new and i hate the sight,
of the never happing of a sunlight.
My palms are sweaty and my minds at still,
i dont like the way i feel.
Let me smile just one more time,
I want to feel what use to be mine.
The way my life once use to be,
I just want to be free.
Im locked away in a tower so high,
The clouds are dark around the sky.
I feel this world caving in so fast,
Please stop this pain i dont want it to last.
save me from the tears that wont stop,
every second its a new drop.
afraid of this world and the bad it has inside,
please cover me i just want to hide.
please somebody please tell me the truth.......
what happened to me!
Yesterday was fun and games,
Now my life is full of pain.
My mind is wandering as if I'm mentally insane.
But who else could i possiably blame?
Losing trust because of everyone elses lust.
Time passing me by as if its a crime for me to die.
Life is dull and i can feel the pull deep down im my pitch black soul.
Living in today only to find that tommorow is too far away for my eyes to see.
Everything was happing for me yesterday.
As a youngsta my MOMMA always tould me (THINGS R GUNNA GET EASIER.)
I always grew up thinking getting beat n raped was the normal wya to live!
Being able to see dirrfrent aspects of life i soon than realized the things that were happing in my life wasn't what happened in life itself!
Thinking there was n0 h0pe at the END OF THE TUNNEL I soon began to give up on my-self.
I eventually realized what my mom had tould me when I was about 6 (THINGS R GUNNA GET EASIER) I always tould my self that. Till this very day I go through things that make me wna give up.....& now that i have my mother by my side she constanly reminds me of how things got betta!!!!
In this world today can't say it's safe today. Because you'll
never know which way to go. You
try to make some friends but don't know where to began so
what can i do or what can i say.
You try to speak your mind but somebody don't won't you to
say a word. Got to raise your
kids got to teach your kids and tell everybody that they lost
their daddy. You try to struggle
to get through this world. But don't know if your gonna make
it. You drop out of high school,
never tryed to finish school. Didn't get no degree in anything.
So you decided you might as
well go and sell the ring. Everybody in the world always got
something to say. But never try
to give you a hand and tell you gurl that it's ok. You cry everynight
thinking about how are
you going to feed your kids. When they are coming up to you telling
you "momma why are
you crying,momma when will we get to live in a house like the rest
of the folks. You just tell
them to look to god and he will direct our pass. But your still thinking,
why me in this world,
why is it happing to me, Just because i'm in this world.
Left out to defend my broken wings down that path of my own way to survive all I known heartaches headaches every day struggling to make it out here alone on my own
Three years has came and just about gone
Haven’t seen your face or your beautiful voice
All these years mama kept her faith in my broken heart
Is we’re i detained miracles I knew was possible to happen over came the windy hail storm I just sat there in it lost on my broken little thrown waiting for my baby girl to return home all those years I’ve cried believing the was worth the while
A humans mind is edup when you get the love of your life was token away still left with unanswered questions it’s will always haunt you leaving yourself to question every in day there is a higher creator I belive if there was a god why wuld he put us through hell just think about it why do we hav to die to find peace in our souls and to feel loved like they say y’all it ain’t suppost to be that way we came in this world a number that’s exaxly how we will leave it I don’t belive in anything unless I see it myself so much hidden in this world from us the money is evil if u was smart that money tells you everything you need to know about what’s happing next in this hell bound in world we live in all about knowing the truth and we’re you stand some understand some refuse to see it after all the hell and trails I hve faced I realized one thing nothing or no one can take away love that’s the one thing in this life that I know my heart won’t forget the bond between an mother and daughter is forever even if I never get to see you sweet j rose makes me smiles when that blue bird whispers to me softly how u be always asking about me and you never forget the things I’ve done for you lightens up my soul I’m forever waiting on that day to look i in the eyes to tell you mamas still here it’s okay I wuld never go away I was kept away it is what it is we will never look back as i lift you out of your wheel chair and put u on my hip we will sing and dance like tommarow was never near much love for you your forever my hero e in it lost on my broken little thrown waiting for my baby girl to fly into mamas arms be the day this world will stand still no more hurt I will bare to reveal
not happening
not going down
this is getting nipped in the bud
cutting it off at the root
not being allowed to grow
placing poison on this
invading weed
kill it before it has
a chance to even
start to grow
dropping a brick
down upon its leaves
suffocating it were it stands
