The BetMe and my god, we made a bet
and if I was right he’d clear me of debt
That pain was in-fact inherent to men
That hell was a place before their was sin
I spoke of war, what man’s will had brought
to Eden and Rome, the battles they fought
How freedom was gained when kindness was...

Tip Of the IcebergTip Of The Iceberg
Millions losing jobs.
Artificial Intelligence.
Software development.
A reality check.
Knowledge is burning up the world.
No confidence toward the future.
Tip of the iceberg.
Recognizing the end is near.
A I is our replacement.
Rapidly torrent with no reverse.
Mankind is dying.
The work-force is dwindling.
It’s in our nature...

The blurred lines between childhood and adulthoodWhen the lines are blurred
How can we tell who we are anymore
How do we know when innocence begins and when it ends
Or if it ever really happened
At all
This was not everyone's experience
But it was black children's
For a black boy who had to be a man
Before he could be a child...

Heavy HandsWith the weight of the world
In your hands
You quickly learn and understand
Dependency is something to be ashamed of
When you hand that weight to someone else
You wanna take it back
You practically beg
So you don't see them in the same pain
With the weight back
You begin to crumble
And all 8 billion of the people
And all...

The blood they spilled that couldn't be removedHe was strong in life
But even stronger in death
He refused to be forgotten
So he stained the pavement in his blood
A haunting reminder of what was done
His blood spoke more than words could
It's echo mourned his childhood
To his friends and family he was the embodiment of love
To the system they called him a thug
How can that...

EarthDope seller
Fine feller
Give me the fuel
For the duel
Cruel empire
Holy spire
Power of poetic thoughts lots
Humans ate eat or are food
Every meat company should be sued
But really dont we enjoy eating carcass
Its the darkness
We like the most
Gleaming in day
What doth thou knowest
Nothing but blue
Nothing but you
A comfort to lie in my bed
Dreaming of nothing but darkness
With screams...

SinLove is desire
the name
the lust
the passion
the fire
the burning of the ashes as required
Sin is everyone
even when we were born, the mother's womb is the reason
why pain is born
On earth as it is in heaven
we fight among each other as our sin shed blood
among together
Darkness is us, as corruption is the world
allowing sin to breathe...

Tigers TallTigers in the tall grass.
Bruins in the buckwheat.
Sirens, sing of sassafras!
Eagles, time to eat...
Linger, O my looking-glass...
Red run in reply.
Languid liquor, poison gas!
Death, glance at me sly...
Frankincense burned on the tomb?
Ashes, coat the walls.
Belladonna, how you bloom!
Funeral, how ye palls!
Pyramid, best to get rid?
Gold on rim, crater?
Hell and Heaven, hid or bid?
Only if you're sure!
Wind,...

Nothing Is What It SeemsThe world shows us one thing,
but behind it, something darker lives.
We’re told stories shaped by power,
not truth.
They write history to fit their plans.
They call it help,
but it's control.
Rich men send poor men to die
in wars over land, oil, and power.
And we believe it's for freedom.
Every minute, a man takes his own life.
Every day.
But where’s the...

Evil Dress in SuitsThe morning filled with beauty and luster creeps slowly under the mangrove tree and anchored along the tropical coast where the skies, sea and my lover frequently meet. Something unusual was going on there that disperse tension in the atmosphere and the shrubs planted along the shores breeds a kind of bird that make their...

BleachedOver six decades
slinging dirt around
reckless hearted one
over six decades
having dirt slung at me
Time to get out the bleach
scrub things clean
Join me?...

Born of Abandoned HopeGraciousness forms
the apparel of the meek,
tempered in blistering
hues of aura crafted
with the breath of
exhaustion sinking
deep into the soul
of the soulless,
there it wanders
with eyes open wide,
a pop of life silenced
by its surroundings,
forsaken lands filled
with despotic nature,
crucified
their interior along
with their exterior,
proceeding cautiously
as it gravitates
toward the center,
connecting humble
origins placing
the palm...
