Mommy Dearest

Few families are perfect... But some are more toxic and damaging than others. May each new generation learn from the mistakes of the past and forge a better way.

Mommy dearest
By Michelle Morris

Mommy dearest,
Where were you?
When you sent
Me away to
Boarding school?

To have your
Own life,
Without your kids;
No fun with us -
Disadvantages.

Mommy dearest,
Why did you
Kick me out?
When I was
Still at school,
Trying to
Graduate?

To hurt me
And disown me, 
Put me down;
Abandonment
Issues,
With deepest roots
Sown. 

Mommy dearest,
Why did you
Hate me so?
Blamed me
For everything,
And the
Scars
Still show.

In the game of football, one may be
called for an infraction by the toss of a flag.
In basketball, there are whistles and 24 seconds to shoot.
In the sport of boxing, there is a clock and bell.
When I was a child, there was a game called 'marbles'.
In the game of marbles, initially,  there was a line toward which each player tossed a marble to determine the first
to shoot his marble. There was an advantage to being the first shooter.

In the game of life, there are advantages and disadvantages, clocks, bells, flags, lines, and
Whistles. We are challenged by them. By them,
we may win or lose; grow and develope or
complain and allow them to control us.

There is no doubt that we are remaining here for the winter
but the fort sight must be chosen prudently to ensure health, food supply and defense,
three options exist, all with inherent advantages and disadvantages, 
the only reason why we are here now, with no fatalities aside from Flyod
and alive with success is because we have risked our lives for eachother,
so Will and I agree that a democratic vote will be had
to commemorate the cohesion, discipline, and sacrifice of all,
the majority is in favor of fortifying on a small river off the bayline,
York and Sacagawea also had their votes recognized
perhaps this portends the politics of our nation's future,
let it be known that with us, as Captains and men
merit means more than race or sex,
justice be fair to those who bleed,

A Picnic of 51 Ideas

Four hours till the drop time is standing still
As I mentally prepare myself gotta watch for the cops
I hear the spirit still
Baby we could be like the fox and the hound
Because let's be honest it's no fun playing with yourself
Baby no hard feelings I wish you well
I ain't got a red hand to be caught
Let me fly or give me death
Feel the ripples echo through your heart
Hia-chop! I caught you through trickery
Initially, your heart beats on this side of the mysterious
Positionally, the Lord still Loves me uncoditionally  
Cherry Terror Blanco Vendetta
I evolve Orange Cinderella
As planets revolve Djins suffer disadvantages 
I'm an Apache man
You better study close the dynamics involved
I'm bigger than ballistic test in a field exam
I come in Cannons!
I'm facing giants, demons the size of dinosaurs 
there goes a T-Rex and a Terror Taurus 
And I'm the asteroid headed for their ass 
Welcome to my paradigm
As I take you on a stroll through paradise
Where survival is a picnic of 51 ideas
I was thinking maybe we could get our heads together on some night
Because 2 swords are better than 1
Don't you think that is right?

Imagine

Imagine there is no pandemic, vaccines and creation of controversy and lies

Imagine there is no wearing of masks and breathing difficulties 

Imagine there are no social distancing and no people going to sleep in hunger 

Imagine there are no barriers between the rich and the poor, that there is no one better than the other 

Imagine standing hand in hand helping the needy as much as we enrich the wealthy 

Imagine if corruption was punishable as much as stolen goods by he who does so only to buy drugs to recompense the apatite and that materialism wasn’t a song of praise and worship from those who have status 

Just imagine if we all go to bed and there is no one hungry or impoverished and that the universe circulated the same for everyone 

Imagine a Nation so united fighting together to stand together knowing that the Janitor deserves the same respect as the Managing Director 

Imagine the value of education eliminating disadvantages, creation of thieves and desperation of people 

Imagine IQ not calculated as being clever but caring and loving

Never Lost Again

Looking back on life knowing all the wrong that I've done
For so long I was numb
No longer with ya I miss ya, how could I ever forget ya, you were always there for me so in sharing my story I made sure I painted pictures through scriptures in every song that I've sung
Every letter I wrote, whether it be a poem or a rap
Learned this game is cutthroat, them closest to you be the first to crack & leave you known as a stat
Hated by many, frowned upon by plenty, hell I was ahead of myself & for that I was disowned that's a fact
But I turned that hate into hunger, bet on myself when I wagered my numbers, packed my stats & now I react so when they attack I attack back
I got closer with God & kept the devil at bay
Once a rebel in my ways now I strategize my game in every level that I play
I've been damaged beyond repair with disadvantages that were clear
I asked Jesus to take the wheel but he told me to believe within my will, promised if I could break from the sin I would see greatness & win, a man amongst my peers no longer standing in fear when the cameras appear
I've been through some battles & I've had my fair share of losses & wins
Brought friends into battles which costed the loss of them friends
I've been double crossed by my friends
I've been down & out, colder than stone barely holding my own, I was on the brink of defeat couldn't think on my feet but I held it together & since than I ain't never lost again.

Video Games

Video games are popular I admit
                    People of different age level played it
          It’s an interesting game that everybody love
But not for me, I feel so sad

I know it’s an enjoyable pastime
          You can forget you problems for awhile
                    But there are many disadvantages if you can see
                              Especially my students who are lazy to study

                              Their parents think they are in school
                    But they make them think like a fool
          The money given for their everyday allowances
They spent it at the internet cafe and forgot their studies

Here comes the issuance of the report card
          The parents saw the grades and became mad
                    The students blamed the exam because it’s so hard
                              Just to hide the fact that video games make them bad

                              For me it can promote violence for the young
                    All I wish are the family members act like a guardian
          They can play video games as much as they can
As long as they will promise to be a responsible daughter and son

The Treaty of Love

THEY SPOKE TO NEGATE THE THOUGHT
HE WISHED FOR TOGETHERNESS
SHE WISHED TO OWN HIS HEART
NEITHER HEARD WHAT THE OTHER HAD SAID
THEY SOUGHT ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
THAT WENT OVER THEIR HEAD
MOST WISHED THEM TO BE TOGETHER
SOME WANTED THEM TO BE APART
THEY KNEW THESE THINGS FROM THE VERY START
THEY HEARD A TALE OF A MAN
HE UNDERSTOOD WHAT THEY NEEDED
HE HAD THE ALIY TO MANGE WANT
THEY SAID AND COULD CONVEY THEIR
WANTS INTO WORDS THAT
DESCRIBED THEIR NEED
HE SPOKE OF THE WANTING DESIRE TO BE TOGETHER
BUT THE HINDERES OF OUTSIDE FORCES
THAT DISTRACT YOU FROM OBTAINING THE GOAL
YOU HAVE NEGOCATED.
THE ADVANTAGES OF TOGETHERNESS VERSES
THE DISADVANTAGES OF BEING APART
THOSE THAT CREATE BARRIERS TO HAVE LESS POWER
TO CAUSE YOUR CONDITION
WEREAS THOSE WHO FOSTER POSITIVE TOGETHERNESS AND LOVE
 FROM LEVEL TO LEVEL
POSITION TO POSITION
FINDING THOSE WHO
WISH YOUR DISLEVELING, AND DISPOSITIONING

Food Glorious Food First Helping

Connoisseur Of Ethnic Cuisine

Theme seems apropos during Holiday FancyFeasts despite the plethora of – in my opinion witching hunting - reputable male personalities suddenly accused of sexual harassment after substantial time. Yes granted so the unexpected name dropping felt like a bomb shell towards chaps, this baby boomer mwm would never suspect, point the finger, or accuse, especially one former Norwegian bachelor farmer from Lake Woebegone.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Though anonymous and hardly
a substantially sized mwm baby boomer
(which dual disadvantages partly explains 
lack of ubiquity among claque of cooks, yet hoop full
to get attention from some well fed dame

many popular rotund gourmands l'chaim tame
their hungry beast – wa hood put me to shame
vis a vis consuming in their one meal,
what yours truly eats in a lifetime,
none of those celery buddies,

whom this non television watcher can name
seen on any selective cable channel,
I still revel in writing while
on the hunt 
   (during Red October) for a meme

poetry and prose, and decided
to introduce myself quite lame
with NON GMO marginal uptick
in any sudden fortune or fame,
yet t'would be pleasantly syrup prized
if interest
from potential mistress didst exclaim

desire to enjoy a repast, though
said hypothetical gal need
not be a high society dame,
and if perchance such just desserts

came via the kitchen maiden kitty,
versus kit chin middens
no boastful claim
would be uttered by me,
her intellectual company satisfactory aim.

Delude

How can enough be enough
When lives are treated like garbage
Picked from the gutters
Thrown in the dump?

How can earth be at peace
When nature is disturbed
And air is defiled constantly
Yet superiors smile over it?

When a poor mother
Tries to save her child,
From the emitting of carbon
Burned by an industry close by,
She is deluded and placed low
Because superiors enjoy the advantages
Caused by the disadvantages.

Do not ask the masses to calm down
When their lives are endangered,
But you stand the chance to put an end
To this awful beginning of the end
That has placed mankind in disarray.

As they try to let it out
To fight in order to heal the world,
To restore stability,
They are rebuked by hierarchy,
‘Shhhh! Say no word’.
