Best Mattered Poems

Company stores taking most of the paycheck
Days were long and hard at the breaker
It beat being down there, rats were moving
No injuries today, good news
Body hurts, but the kids will be home from school
Stop and have a few before supper
They're growing so fast, soon the...

You have every right to cry
The world has not been good to you
When you should have been playing
You saw the death of everyone you knew
It did not matter that you were there
No, they never cared about you
A little princess like you never mattered
You were just...

I look back to the sixties, standing for a cause
Change society, from the world remove the flaws
How the seeds of discontent were scattered
We walked with a purpose, make a statement for the land
An urge to change the world, a time to make a stand
With the...

I  set sight on visions 
Picture little if visions
Matter ,i paint a photo 
To vision my pictures
My vision has lost it way to my tongue
I speak what I see,visualise or better yet picture
My vision set scenes like am Picasso
As I speak out my words in...

By your skin's pigment, I've never judged you,
but by your character I see you through.
Your deep concerns are only a figment;
I've never judged you by your skin's pigment.

We are all descendants from Adam's side,
and we'll continue to be multiplied,
so let brotherly love take transcendence.
From Adam's...

"Never Mattered"

Folks so hesitant and others far too eager
You either do or don't got a fever
Non or a true believer
In the ever after
Worlds being forever shattered
I always had to be a clever bastard
Got to get it done, can't rely on a benefactor
Had to realize certain...

They say it didn't matter
But it rocked your core
You walked on shaky ground
Your feet were in those shoes
So if it rattled you, it mattered...

Even when I loved you,
And was so happy,
To be with you,
Through the good memories,
The flaws of our relationship,
The tears,
And the pain.
In the end,
Nothing mattered,
Because it was all my delusion,
That you ever loved me.
Every moment we had together,
Was nothing but lies.
My love never mattered to you,
My...

Express yourself, well it's really important,
For them it was, for her!! It never mattered.

It never mattered whether they knew she cared,
As her care was hidden behind those endless scolds,
For her those were the best possible way to care.

It never mattered, whether she knew that she...

It was back in summer, 2020,
when activists ran ‘round, burning cities,
convinced that they had to destroy their lives
since a thug with similar skin color died.

Amidst the BLM and Antifa
was a young woman known as Jacinta,
only twenty-one, but had a three-year-old;
her passions aroused by what she’d...

Every day and everything,
a constant struggle.
  More than a few missing
pieces to the puzzle.

  A whole lot of baggage,
so much fear.
  I fell apart when you
left me here.

  Face to face,
I was staring.
  At a heart no
longer caring.

  It...

I feared their roar
Of anger fuelled by their disgust
I feared the roar
And left my dreams to nothing more
Concealing self in flecks of dust
Sweet softness lost beneath stale crust
I feared their roar.

I saw her smile
The lines of life that she has seen
I saw her smile
And nothing...

    As the candidate yammered on 
     His opponent stood his ground

        When the first ran out of time
        In a flash the second...

...He brother railed at her when they were wed,
‘Uncle Tom, race traitor!”such words were said,
‘Raised by a white man, you’ll mess up your son!”
She just rolled her eyes, and said, “Are you done?”

She had no more time for her brother’s hate,
it impeded with a life...

..She felt so damn nervous making that call,
and when he picked up she just gushed it all,
he listened quietly, then she asked to meet,
she quickly wrote down the place and the street.

She met him at one of his restaurants,
he looked different now, his eyes didn’t...
