Best Urban Life Poems

Crowds in Times Square
Tourists blend with locals

 Keep moving along with the

Breaking down in the heart and mind.
With all regrets that are truly not kind.
Shocked at people are, so painful to see.
Abused with hated and ecstasy.

Hatred gushing out of life long experience.
Reminding yourself to become absence.
Coward and scared...

I told him.  “Not now!”  “Just go away!”

It was his voice.  It was clear and imminent.
I was just “too busy”. 
 This was evident!

Why should I care? ...

Lovely days produce lovely nights
and the sunset that transitions them;
build memories of comfort and embrace

The flowers of the field are adorn with complexion
and fed by God's grace
Like a sunbathe in darkness
my skin glows shades of bronze, orange
gold, and honey tones
I'm entrapped by the wind and...

God Brought A Healing To My Troubled Mind…

I used to allow many thoughts to enter my mind.
There were good and bad ones... 
 Just about every kind.

My family thought I was being a “good Christian.”
I never did anything that raised “a suspicion.”

I spent half my life buzzed
pulling stings with my cuz
day dreamed of being kings but our status never budged

mainly because we was rarely sober
drinking E&J with soda 
trying to sneak a toaster in the Ponderosa (local club)

I been in bar brawl where chairs are thrust...

In the movie Denzel said Bumpy Johnson was just as important as Martin Luther 
King
"Meditate"
Think about what that statement really means 
American Gangsters are idolized as Kings
And what Martin said is just a dream
Unfulfilled
Because to the child of the ghetto its not real
Hustlas admired while...

They speak boldly of bravery
But yet cowardly hide from reality
Falsely believing courage to be found in artillery,
and respect in a casualty

I hope they never have to watch life untimely leave
When someone they think fondly of can no longer breath
They talk errantly since their life is...

He Can Do The Same For YOU!

When I gave my heart to Jesus...
 is what I wanted to do.
I really didn't how to live...
 the way he wants me to.

My life was "messed up. " It needed
 to be put "back on track."
So I started...

sign up for the fallen nation/
become a part of complication/
live life of silent frustration/
only way to gain salvation/

hate your past its gone forever/
original, youll never remember/


sign up for the fallen nation/
become a part...

Public Figures live a life that is filled with angst
and paranoia, always wondering where
their enemies are, so they experience ambivalence
when venturing far,

Naysayers often crawl out from the woodworks,
taunting and acting like jerks,
The perks they get from notoriety is pale in
comparison to the anxiety overzealous people...

"That I may know Christ and the
 fellowship of his suffering."
Is a verse that's not always
 the most comforting.

"I must suffer for Christ and 
taste of the bitter cup."
An appetite for his holiness 
must fill my life up!

I really don't know what it 
means to...

"What If...  You Lost Everything?"

What if your "luck has all run out?"
"No one listens" no matter 
how loud you shout.

What if your life has come to
 "a dead end road."
You've lost everything... Even your
 car's been towed.

What if all you have
 "suddenly disappeared."
As the...
