Long Mentalities Poems

It seemed to me,
when I was eight,
U.S. Christian disciples and teachers
had been given so much grace

And had fundamentally boiled it down
to settling for such small subcontinental WhitePatriarchal colonizing gratitude
for God's universally healthy
multicultural EarthTribes.

It was so...

True love is unquestionable. 
What is true love?
To me; it is more feeling based rather than definitively worded. 
Emotional attached, formed mentalities that are equally paired with an immaculate physical connection. 
Collected bi-gender, shared love—
She’s...

oh, my heart

And the cemetery was ageless... 

As I walked up to the elaborate granite bench your ashes had been buried in, I saw the forty-foot bronze angel that was watching over you during your rest. But,...

Eighteen hundred and three begins U.S. destinies.
Merriwether Lewis and his comrade, William Clark, agrees –
They will go forth, avoid Frenchmen, fighting growling grizzlies.
To find a water trade route that flows west to the Pacific seas.

water weeps wildly
whilst washing away your
jesting foolery.
I saw the sun annihilated
	Against backdrops of liturgy
Lethargic activity that earns
	It’s title as the Earth’s endearing child
Against backdrops of monogamy,
Pedestrian thinking,
	Accelerated usage,
Lapping up mentalities from bowls of pulled poultry,
Doing...

How does it make you feel when the one you voted for, lost?
Did the earth stop revolving; or did the sun refuse to shine?
Did your boat cease to float; or did your sails fall into...

Service workers wearing fake smiles perform for the customer. Catering to their needs; pretending. Insecure bosses put the pressure on making it known that you are replaceable. Treated as a number, employees wear name tags....

He was a father
Now he's just an example of a man with feather
Flying away from his responsibilities after/
All those words he altered.

Maybe he thought we won't survive

BEING HUMAN BEINGS

Some people are evil. 
Maliciously.

Some people create  drama. Monstrosities..

Some people have ulterior motives. Intentionally.

Some people have remorse.
An apology.

Some people have profound words. Poetically.

Some people are tree huggers.
Organically.

Some people have no common sense....

Been knocked down
But never put out.
Been lied to, cursed at
Even talked about.
Had a few pick-me-ups and
A couple of dust-me-offs
Serpents trying to slime me
With materialistic pay offs.
Obstacles laid in my paths
Like bear traps in the woods,
By...

Heartbeat of a sleeping giant

In my mind, there is a boy who exist in
Chains.
Inside a cold, dark room of painful 
Solitude-- is where is heart would remain.
Behind these walls the sorrow is inevitable,
As relentless as...

She is to be pure, pristine, just, hardworking
She is to imbibe all who surround her with faith
She needs to be able to know everything...

What does it mean to exist
Beyond minds of “hold my hand” tendencies
And Starbucks blonde-struck mentalities
Frank Sinatra melodies and guitar strummed
Dreams

Existence
Everyone
Is an enigma
Quantum physics never really clarified how
I can’t get it back
but
I don’t want it back...

COVENANT

The mourning of lost souls 
The treachery of natural disaster
Brings us before God to ask are we forsaken.
To adjust to ways and will of a greater source,
We go into an intellectual setting to form mentality,

Don't knock me for opening doors
that lead to new
& different perspectives
We're all perceptions peering from
the inside out while
being viewed by other aspects
of ourselves
Shells of former selves fight for 
relevance as the new
arises with a higher
intelligence

NATURE’S WAY

Once there was a wealthy town
Up north near the China sea
In a hill and forested area
However, the inhabitants were divided tribes
They have a very bad and distinct attitudes and habits
The natives were hypocrites
Crab mentalities

Poetic Justice
a league of just us.
Believe in this,
for you can entrust us.
Different colored capes,
mask's to hide identities.
Unable to reveal ourselves,
to protect us and our cities.
Super speed,
mentalities so fast,
villains just think slow,
they never will last.
Ninja movements,
stealthly...

Boy I’m hot and dry

I’m full of life

And I feel this way

There is no real reason why

I know I’m not here

All alone

God’s with me

I’m at home

I’m in the region

Of dry bones

People all around me

Have lost...
