Long Born with a silver spoon Poems

THE VOICELESS.


Under the oak tree we lay awake waiting for the coming messiah

Waiting for the good time of his government

We are tormented and suppressed all day long with no cause.

And our body bore our pains

Men...

a gray area exists when the light dulls &
when it begins to tint this way
we run frantic, like the unluckiest chicken on the
farm,
who’s up next for a beheading---
like roaches scampering from a dry place to...

"Blues""

They don't even notice a new you
Ooooo
They keep looking at me like I'm cuckoo
Boo-hoo
Who knew
I'd have such bad juju
All that's left is a doll used for voodoo

Any day now I'm due to
Evolve into Mewtwo
Then I'll...

Keys to the world 
By Michelle Morris

We give the politicians the keys to the asylum
And then wonder why the world is going crazy
We the fearful and cowardly populace 
Of a cruel dystopian existence

Why do we...

DESTITUTES
Decision making is an intrinsic part of our being
Not that we are wise but mean
Desperate for survival, we struggle daily
We are young yet we do what adults do daily
Sobbing, crying, kneeling, begging for food
This daily...

I live in Tucson, in a trailer court on the South side
All Mexican, except for me the old Gringo
I speak Spanish, can get along with most anyone
With all the Mexican border drugs, things can get...

Pushed her womb from North to South
Born with a silver spoon in my mouth

I cried and cried and had swollen eyes
Surprised to see, my mother still smiled

Played a lot in her arms
Entered a life full...

IGNORE IT IF IT RINGS

It's strange but so many people say the same fuc*ing thing
they say “take back that necklace, that bracelet and diamond ring”

I’m a "soldiers" girl,
Not the "soldier" you probably think
My "soldier" is a street soldier so to speak
This life does not allow us to be weak

A soldier of his kind takes a strong soul and mind

I wasn’t born with a silver spoon,
Neither on the night of full moon,

Yet,
I was showered with their grace,
They were divines in human face,

Nothing in my life I was denied,
They were the ones, who were my...

Tears of joy flowed down the mother's eyes
When she held the emaciated baby in her arms
Looking more like a skeleton than an infant alive
Two frail pounds of flesh, God's alms

She saw a survivor in him,...

troubled youth
void of couth 
non-cognizant of devious stratagems
possessing them
in hidden silence 
keeping alive — the violence 

causin' mother's to mourn
mourn the loss of their precious born
born with no silver spoon
blood shed—gone way too soon

fightin’ not...

Someone said, "Bring back the funny"
But I'm not mentioning any names   ( Faleshia )
So if this just ain't your cup of tea
Then she's the one you blame

Here's a story about Mother Nature

Something moaning in them hills tonight
something calm with quiet tears
something caught winging a web of plight
something trapped in tired years
something longing for an irreversible flight
something moaning in them hills tonight

I know them mountain full of...

Instead, I Choose To Honor And Then Gift

Yet another poem, yet another blog
On and on with my poetry I jog
Not to insult others or to degrade
Those with creative creations thus made
Instead, I choose to honor...

The ladders by which I shall soar
And the uncoursed peaks I must tour,
Are set before my gaze;
A complex and baffling maze.
For this I need my paths well to know:
That I'm not the son of a...

With none in my infant's mouth, I was born
Even though a big silver spoon I craved
Of an affluence, I was left quite forlorn
Hence, contentment without the spoon I craved

For myself, a black wooden spoon I...

Jealousy





I grinned as they laughed
as if making fun of me,
The lesser child of God-me,
Their inseparable love
Why could I not get?
Fortune smiling at them
and mocking at me,
Born with a silver spoon
Why not me ?

A luxurious life...

When you're constantly branded a racist
because you're a white male
you tend to stop listening 
when you're constantly labeled privileged
(though they've never seen you leave for work at 2:30am
nor the callous on your hands)
you tend to...

I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth.
I'm thankful for that.
I know the value of a dollar.

Everything I have I've had to earn myself.
I'm thankful for that.
I have a reason to hold my...

Hippy, could I say? Or rogue, rascal or roughneck?
Who, his and lives of others, does knowingly wreck; 
These are 'born with a silver spoon in the mouth', sure,
In their mind and heart, yet, are these...
