Karma

I watch the tears fall from your eyes, but then why am I mad? …This is the day I was 
told about, they said I’d be happy, blissful, content, and victorious, so then why am I 
sad…
Man, today I met a new side of me, I learned you could confide in me, and know that 
your secrets are safe with inside of me, trying to weaken the soul that lies in thee, 
but my heart is as wide as the sea. And I’m stronger than I ever thought I could be, 
because I learned to forgive YOU, and to love ME!
So I wipe your tears and ask myself where is your strength… the strength that kept 
me in complete darkness, provoked words of cold harshness, the times I CRIED and 
YOU acted heartless, I let you guide me as though you were my compass, but you 
chose to destroy me and feed off my weakness, leaving me to pick up the pieces and 
tidy your mess. So if you’re wondering if I feel your pain, my answer is yes!
The pain you feel was a place I once resided in, so my only words of wisdom is take 
this as life’s lesson, learn that things happen for a reason, ppl we think we know 
change like the season, learn to fight your daemon. Don’t let this be a rerun, don’t let 
your soul get beaten, train your mind not to weaken, don’t wallow in your sorrows, 
forgive and forget and your life will sweeten……mines did!
I did, I moved on, forgave and forgot, and in turn I am grateful for all that I got. Road 
out the waves, rolled with the punches, built back my strength, my emotions and 
senses, brushed myself off when you threw me in the trenches. Drowned my 
sorrows, faced all my stresses. And at the end of it all I made a few pledges.
 I pledge to love me and put myself first, love me through hard times, down to my 
worst. I pledge to forgive, we all make mistakes, I pledge to succeed and do 
whatever it takes. Avoid all the foes, follies and fakes. Avoid stepping on skins of all 
cobras and snakes. I shall not conform to gossiping and sin, because despite what 
I’ve been through I choose to win. Do good on to others, be kind, be true, and your 
hardship will cease, your sorrows will be few. Now wipe the tears from your eyes, 
cuz you finally paid your due. You can run and you can hide but karma will always find 
you!

Digital Egypt Ancient Usa

bars and cages of flags ,colors ,creeds .
in Egypt they've been saying we want to make Egypt great again .
can't help but look at the irony gullible red and white and blue patriots and the slogan again on the rise we want America great again.
can't you see Iraq where the great empire of Babel stood .
Syria and the Assyrians 
Egypt where the secret defies all your technology
the third Reich ,the eagle ,the Indian nazi they're all one machines of destructions strings held by Shylocks .
humans didn't find earth border marked .
and it hit me we're watching the Syrian refugees freezing to death.
but make no mistake ,no matter what your sick flag is  there are silent ,non famous refugees freezing few  blocks away from where you live .
from Portland bus stop ,under street kids of Brazil ,to the tin homes of Egypt even in Israel there's some Ethiopian fooled by fake Judea freezing to death outside an Ashkenazi bar  .
the only  thing that's needs to be great again is Humanity and Humans. 
yet what hurts them in this photo is that America is broken .
not that thousands went past this woman and nobody cares to even look at her.
tell me what is ancient Egypt ,Mayans,enka,Sumerian and America ,,without the pure human soul they're ruins of a ppl who worshipped greed and seized to exist.
we're not evolving we're descending way past the ape zone .
actually we became  Shylock's  AI ,meat puppets ,flesh robots.
desensitized,dehumanized .
we're living the age where peace needs a force 
religion spreads by missions not attracting by forgiveness recognition.
colors of the skin became a race .
look me in the eye and tell me are we humans ?
wonder how many seconds you'll keep a straight face

Girl

How can I tell you girl
that there is nothing we can do?
that we didn't have what we couldn't have
that sometimes ppl may seem cruel?
that now is too late
and that we need to move
to a better place
for me and you?

How can I tell you girl
that what you are looking for
it is now so far away
not even in this world?
how can I find the way
how can I find the words
without hurting you again
the way you were hurt before?

How can I tell you girl
that we are on our own?
that the search is over
that they didn't come?
that we've been swimming 
for so long
that I'm getting tired
and I need a shore?

How can I tell you girl, that you have grown?

Motherless Child

I've raised myself for more than 12  long years; Never had a mother to console me in the midst of tears
I never had a mother to show how to be a "lady" or to cook & clean; Nor did I have a father to show me what a real man was or how one is suppose to treat me
So I fell prey to almost anything with promises of love 
Just trying to fill a void
Mentally, emotionally, spiritually
It destroyed me til I became broken ,my never ending quest of feeling loved, 
I degraded myself with ppl who didn't see value in me not even for the price in which we exchanged our sexual encounters
Becoming a commodity just to survive while folks were paid to care for me but aside from the check they didn't care where I laid my head;battling wars at home and at skool just because I looked unloved with newspaper and trapped rain water inside my shoes, no hairdos,no clothes that fit
So I sold my body for school supplies and clothes , so funny it was to laugh at my pain and b shunned when asking for help
Coming to grips with the fact that men didn't want me but for the size of my hips,lips,ass and how tight they thought my pussy could grip, I found solace in a bottle drinking morning,noon,& night which eventually stopped working so I started cutting into my veins not enough to die but numb my emotional pain,tried to overdose on pills but would never die; at night cried wondering why was I doomed to live when it was plain that no one gave a damn about me, I mean I was already stamped with a Whore tag just for trying to survive and got even worse when I got pregnant with my "tricks" baby 16 left to be a mother alone,but still moving from home to home,
I never could differentiate a healthy relationship from the bad because as long it showed signs of me receiving love I was hooked 
Just a small page from a worst case scenario of a motherless child still trying to find my way with all my dysfunction

I...Gets...Money!

Society claims...that we are in a economic tsunami, 
but I swear it's not affecting me. 
I'm hungry...I metamorph into the money monster. 
I gets money 24hrs & seven days a week. 
Ppl be sleep, but I be up at the crack of dawn. 
Visualizing this money...getting it... 
engulfing it in my palms! 
Having qualms about being broke & one of the misfortunate ones. 
Cuz, a fool & his money will depart an that's a promise from the book of Psalms. 
I have no pity for ppl, cuz your decisions today will be your out come tomorrow. 
So, if you accumulating cash: stacking it...investing it wisely: you want have to beg & borrow! 
But once again...I...Gets...Money! 
See, you have to understand the ***** psychosis which is similar to the cricket syndrome. 
Claiming that he's balling, but in reality he's really crawling: self destruction on his own. 
Sure he want the big house, all the money, & all the leeches! 
But, don't nothing come to a sleeper, but a dream. 
Ain't you tired of dreaming & wishing? 
But once again...You...Gets...Nothing! It's part of my repertoire to be the cleanest individual in the crowd. Females going wild cuz they can smell the money scent from a mile. 
The apotheosis of a winner is the true essence of a Black Man like me. 
I can't be duplicated...dam shol not imitated, so please take heed... I...Gets...Money!...

Walking Backwards

I look backwards I look forward
I look all around
I look left and right
chaos is all to be found

someone at this second is murdered 
someone at this second is raped
just watching the news 
makes me want to pray

you cant park your car on the street anymore 
you can't go out at night
you can't walk down the road anymore
alone in broad daylight

this world should be moving forwards
and not backwards anymore
people need to be more nice
and bring more love and less war 

how hard is it to pay excuse me
rubbing shoulders'walking by?
being nice is so easy to do
people need to give it a try

the government saying 
what we can or can not do
America used to be free
but that is no longer true

a child rapist is charged again
then he was set free
while ppl sit in jail for unpaid fines
that sounds backwards to me

punishing everyone with guns
because of one person's psychotic act
...it's not the gun it's the person
everyone with common sense knows that

registered sex offenders as our neighbors- man what a relief
the law says they've paid their dues 
but that's just what they want to believe

people being shot all around
because the color of their face
I believe everyone should be loved
no matter what the race

people all over struggling
not enough money for bills to be paid
I think this country is going under
too many changes to be made

oil spills, chemical factories 
and the ocean is filled with trash
at this rate 50 years from now
this world will be ash

it takes so much energy to hate 
I wish everyone could see
life would go more smoothly
if you do unselfish deeds 

when you see someone struggling 
offer a hand to help
if the tables were turned 
wouldn't you want that for yourself?

there are many things you can't change
but try hard at the things you can
you have a special place in this world
you are part of a bigger plan

part of the plan to take our lives back
part of the plan to do what's right
part of the plan to walk safely
down the street in the day or night

I was taught to hold on to love
and I should never hate 
together everyone could turn this around
it is never too late

it's time to take one step forward 
and no longer take any back
this country, this world, our children's' future is at stake
and that is a fact

Dear Stink Bug.!

Yu march across the table,
so tall, so proud. 
Acting as if yu have a voice 
booming loud. But yu have no power!
Your a bug can't yu see? Your tiny and 
scrawny to which most ppl wud agree.
Yur so brave, so free, kinda funny really.
Here comes the squish of a shoe
as i franticly try to be rid of yu. One hit,
now yur dead. Yur smaller and squished,
blood en guts smeared around yu.
Yur legs have gone a miss.
Yur corpse jus lay there, lifeless and dead.
Yu shudnt have marched tall and proud, yur 
no more than a bother. Yu didn't possibly have 
power yur a bug dnt yu see? If yu had been
smart, yu wudnt have challeneged me.

Thn, But, This, and Now

i used to bee the T'keyah Thatt -
Laughed at others whn they were hurt,
cared only about myself,
played entirely too muchh,
thought i wus [above] othrs whn it came to my education,
tried to be bestfriends with the teacher,
only went places with Alexis Rutherford
always put it in my head that i would NEVER disappoint my mother,
& stayed mad at my father because he wus never in my lifee . .
 
, but thn -
middle school camee alonee,
boys caught my eyes,
teachers weren't like they were at Vineville Academy,
my mind became maturer thn my agee,
i wus introduced to more thangs for older kids,
i convinced myself to question my father about thangs i wantd to know
& i looked at life wayyyy differennt .
 
Thiss Causedd -
me to separate myself from others,
my mind to wonder on . .
me to act up jus for attention,
mee to do the thangs my mind wondered about,
me to understand why my daddy wus never here [im still trying to understand]
& mee to do simple thangs to fit in , but only to find out that once its gone, you never get it back:/
 
But Noww -
I'm that T'Keyah who -
is always smilingg
always helping others
forever giving advice even whn i cnt take my own,
always waiting for others to realize that once I'm gone, you'll regret the way you treated me,
always crushing on someone,
always laughingg cause its just that fun,
always makingg ppl smile even whn i'm down in the dumps myself,
always crying behind closed doors//
always blaming herself 
always lying to herself to make her believe certain thangs.
is missing her uncle jay
thinks nobody loves her,
always questioning "Why" on her life from back in the past,
BUT NEVER regretting any of it, because at one point in time. . that's exactly what she wanted:))

I Can Take It--

I can take it
Even If I must fake it
I can take it
Even if I am socially naked
I can take it
Even if I don't get to be famous
I can take it
Even if I hear I love u like u don't mean it
I can take it
Even if the system rules on the plaintiff
I can take it
Even if I'm losing my emotional status
I can take it
Even if I must brave it
I can take it
Even if food ain't given n my stomach remains vacant
I can take it
Even if I don't rob or steal for a  roach infested couch or building stripped to the brick naked
I can take it
Even if I hide it from the Mrs that that happens
N I lie so as to not make her cry n she gets pissed becuz of it
I can take it
Even if everyday I'm alone looking for msgs to come but won't
I can take it
Even if these same clothes I wear I marinate in them til my skin is imprinted
I can take it
Even if old haunts taunt n run rapid over my brain getting comfortable making hammocks
I can take it
Even if I must constantly prove my worth to myself to over turn this feeling of being cursed at birth n show 
exactly how the lord work his works by making an example outa this unworthy piece of dirt 
I can take it
Even if I must rip my flesh off with every breath n talk to parents about being adults N vault their feelings of 
good times lost
I can take it
Even if I was hit with a brick of slander every minute n pricked with 1000needles of venomous blood from 
hypocrites
I can take it
Even if I don't make it
I can take it
Even if it takes my last breath to proclaim it 
I can take it
Even if I don't become famous 
I can take it
Even if ......I can take it ......keep moving on ppl.......Peace

You mean so much to me my love for yu I have never felt for anyone.. the thought of being without yu ugh I don't ever I culdnt I don't ever want to if only i culd show yu how i feel about yu how much I love yu then maybe yu wuld kno this isn't no game to me!! Trust is an issue wit both of us n I'm truly sorry only if I had the answers for why ppl do n say things they don't mean without thinking my heart hurts so bad I feel like yu gave up on us hopefully I'm wrong cuz if I have to n yu Will let me i want to spend the rest of my life proving my love and all to yu!! The smile yu put on my face the warm fuzzy wanted loved feeling my body/ insides get I kno the yur the one n only for me hopefully yu feel the same... feeling lost confused I don't like but I'm all yurs so believe n trust me tears that I'm shedding for yu even tho yu don't see them why because we screwed up a time or two before sorry isn't good enough but my heart is all Achilles Harkleroad..
