There Human To

Hes ing homeless, you see him there don't ignore that starved groak glare,
You can see that he's got an empty cup in his hand he looks hungry and you're now aware, 
He has no shirt on his back no shoes on his feet, but he's human too, hes no different to me or you, 
He feels inferior, he's embarrassed to panhandle for any spare change from any of you,
He's ing homeless but he's human to, he's no different to anyone of you,
It's just your negative attitude that brings that poor man down when he's feeling blue
He's not useless, he has to sit all day he can't just get up and move away he'll get mobbed
And they'll take anything that's left, he's already been pillaged and robbed,
They'll even take his spot where he's currently sitting but it's also where he plans to sleep, 

 
She's sick, her stomach twists she's not eaten in days all her money was spent on a bag,
Now she stands under the bright street light her spot light, she smiles even though she's sad 
She needs to turn a trick to get her fix so she's no longer sick, She feels dirty and used 
As drunk lads walk past how much for a shag you dirty slag, they holla at her amused 
She's still human not a walking price tag, she dosent deserve such degrading abuse,
From let's be honest total ing twats that wouldn't last 5 minutes on these mean streets,
She's ing homeless and needs to score she needs enough cash to pay towards a hotel room,
To go after a hard night on the streets her homies will stay too splitting the bill 
A room at the cheapest hotel that stinks, is dank and dark filled with mould and mildew
Blood splatter from previous occupants who have shot up, could pass as art deco from the ghetto,
There ing homeless but there human to  there no different to anyone of you.
It's just our negative attitude judging them bringing them down till they feel blue.

The Scenic Route

February marks the date but we don't celebrate.
Relationship is real, daily struggle, money, temptations, and 
suicidal moments. 
We took the scenic route but have only seen one mountain.

Written by My Amazimg girlfriend; Danielle Zink. 

-Allowimg her to be a part of my poetic journey is enough probable cause to share wth her my Sweet last name. You may pronounce us Mr and Mrs Zink... (she has been my biggest fan for 3 years so she is (and has been) my poetic practice audience. And now she has even been not only using my words against me left and right, she has figured out how to write poetry... I do believe the replacement woman has been getting loose in the right field bullpen. I'm considering calling in the lefty as it has become obvious that she has come to know too much—about me and of the human mind. An obvious threat to any man currently married or divorced. That's not going to happen and I just made up some reader savvy nonsensense; or did I? I'm not telling. I love Danielle; that being said let's say the ups and downs of a "hypothetical" break up—as follows: Down Side: lose my family. Up side: with heartbreak comes more material for me to write more poetry! Hey! You must always look on the brightsides. Just in case she's still reading this; I loveyou honey! You are my world. Without you, I am lost in a ghetto trying to score and much much more. It's like a **** show. Peace in everyone, hang tough!

Why Ghetto People Pray Everyday

Why ghetto people pray everyday 
There is a place where life's 
Are so in needs
This place is found so famous 
On the third worlds and so popular 
The poor the people living in this 
Places are called 
Oh what a name for a classification 
Life In the ghetto speak a lot 
About humanity 
So Now my pen bleeds again 

Why ghetto people pray everyday 
How come the greatest continent 
On planet earth 
With it endless abound ant resources
Could afford a place on it great land 
Called ghetto 
Leave me with a doubt that nothing 
Is impossible 

Why ghetto people pray everyday 
It draw my concern 
When I see the most populated 
Church goers, and other religious
Temples are more of the poor 
From the ghetto
Every day dreaming 
Every day praying 
Only for the better days 
Is no new strange thing
In the ghetto 
So I wonder how come it 
Be so if man is not of greed 

Why ghetto people pray everyday 
The root of all evil greed 
Rest on the leaders down here Africa 
Leading a lot of innocent soul
To crimes
If you want to see hells
Look alike visit the ghetto
Then say for yourself 
Why now my pen bleeds again 
Is clear life in the ghetto 
Are like the hardest life 
Existing on earth 
Which people suffer most 
Horrible style of life if not the 
So called poor in the ghetto
Now I understand 
Why ghetto people pray everyday

Dear Margot

We have never met
sixteen going on seventeen
every child should have dreams
yours stolen at nineteen
I wish I knew, truly
is it evil or hate?
to steal the life of a child
never mind thousands
after the Warsaw Ghetto uprising
the SS hunted and killed all
buried in the ruins
this evil never left the world
a declaration made, Belfor
now
thousands more children slaughtered
their homes also possessed and stolen
sadly those who came after you
learned nothing but hate
they too
are the brown shirts 
the children of Gaza weep, then die
hug everyone of them for me
in heaven

I Don'T Know What You See

I don't know what you see 
Through and through 
Time comes and pass
Another man comes and goes
Another woman Gaving  birth again
Well another baby is death again 

Through and through 
We pass through rough and hard 
Times 
Time comes times pass
Another war is born again 
Another innocent dead again 
Another grief born with time again 
We have been through this times 
This times so hard for a very long 
Time 
through and through a lot 
We encounter 
From this long times past 

Through and through 
We past through this times
So fast how this times fly 
How we survive this men on the hills
In Africa  is a miracle 
As this time flys 
another new man 
Comes up with his promises
Leaving The innocent civilians
To hopes and to an unknown 
Through and through 
We been through a lot 
Down here in the Third world 
Time after time 
We hope for our better days 
We the ghetto people 
keep hopes alive 
With faith by no real reality 

Through and through 
We have been through this 
Hard life till now 
Time after time 
All the preacher man says 
Is life is good 
Hmmmm......Doe it is 
with this circumstances 
We have been through 
With this time passed 
I don't know what you see

Premium Member Ghetto Queens

I remember the days of the yellow fire hydrants 
In the scorching heat, pretending to be a pirate
 Having fun in the sun was what it was all about 
Buying frozen cups of kool-aid at Mrs.Gertrude’s house 
cherries and strawberries, how they melted in my mouth
 The boys chased the girls and jammed their hands in our pants 
We'd bite, scratch, and threaten them with big brother chants 
And if by chance I forgot about double dutch
 Or peanut butter and marshmallow sandwiches for lunch 
But, my hood has changed from the early days 
It's plagued with poverty, drugs, violence, and AIDS 
Filthiness from all abominations have flooded the streets
 My femininity as a woman has become a tasty treat
 My heart bleeds, I need the love of God to heal it
 The enemy sees my joy and he's come to destroy, steal, and
 Kill it.  In the heat of midnight chats now the thought starts to
 fade me 
When reality invades me and the ideal becomes the real
 Words supporting ghetto life are slicker than a banana peel
 I can't raise babies here, fighting against roaches and rats
 I am slaving, hand picking this modern day cotton, and 
Wearing all these hats 
 At the same time being called a hoodrat
 Such a thought is unheard
 I don't want to live in the burbs 
I don’t want to be nobody’s pawn 
I don’t want crosses burning on my lawn 
For me, it's a mainstream between multimillion- dollar dreams
 Laced with lima beans
 Maybe, the mountains, maybe the country
 So go ahead and be proud my GHETTO QUEENS!
 If the slum is where you are from 
Believe there is a better world out there than what it seems....

Premium Member Not All Created Are Equal

Not All Created Are Equal
By Franklin Price
1/9/2015

Not all created are equal
I'm really so sorry to say
The differences are quite distinctive
They're as clear as the night is to day

Some are born to live in a mansion
Some from a ghetto will be
All others are in between somewhere
Where we end up we're going to see

All will have heads on their shoulders
And varieties of brains there within
The ability to use them so varied
It's hard to tell where to begin

The color of skin placed in order
From the darkest to lightest to be 
With the world standing shoulder to shoulder
The division we never will see

The physically strong can take over
While the mentally strong will control
Then throw in the man with the money
And you better watch out for your soul

The puzzles of life have their pieces
In one or more we have a fit 
Some stay in their ones of creation
While others branch out just a bit

If God has bestowed upon you
The intelligence to think on your own
Then create the best puzzle for your life
Don't blame others and don't moan and groan

It Could Have Been Worst

It could have been worst 
So i pray to jah 
Oh jah see the tears on 
The eyes of the poor

See the innocent dead bodies on the streets 

See the cries of our
Beloved mothers 

See the poverty everywhere in africa

See the lack of food
Shelter clothing 
Not to talk of lack of jobs

See darkness everywhere 
No electrcity

See religious discrimination 
killing my brothers and sisters everywhere

See accident every where in my country cos
Of lack of good roads

See the men on black 
And black with their brutality in the name of police killing the innocent 
In the third world

See my people 
In every jail 
In every part of 
The world

See my black beautiful 
Sister turning into 
Prostitute to a normal
Trend for money survival

See my brothers turning 
Crimes as a normal means to survive 

Oh jah i cant ask where 
You are cos i know
You see all that boreders
My country

Am a poor ghetto 
Biafran boy
That believes in your
Supreme intervention 

As now i pray 
Oh jah hear the cries
Of your people 
The peope of biafra
Believe in your devine
Intervention 
If not oh God 
On our struggle for freedom 
It could have been worst

Sum Rah-Rah

which words speak me as your's
might your imagination
make you think of me as 
someone who loves you in resipitation
I speak of you as friend
but then what is spoken in private
you think is an conveyance of our togetherness
in categories i put men
then those of importance might collect
your words to be script
to be the foundation of such futurante togetherness
scholars speak not of dealing 
those samplings of unfaithfulness
those belongings to make whole which is then parted
speak me in times were
you are with another
so the circle of completion might have us as friends
nothing more than lover
that i wish upon heaven
to be with another
might my mind wonder
you will be caught off guard
and those days of tomorrow
might make you father to our child
but as of now
I see tomorrow in the eyes
of someone else
