Long Pridefully Poems

1
Though still within our infancy, 
we strive to thrive, but woefully 
we flash and flaunt our 'primacy',
display our trophies pridefully.
 
Our terra firma ecstasy
destroys survival's harmony,
lays waste to life on land and sea.
Mankind, thy name...

Explain,  I can't until you let go of all you know

Or that have been hidden

I will use my self as target
Cause its not...

At times of solitude, I reflect back on my past transgressions.
Pondering the errors, in retrospect, to maintain an ongoing progression.
Daily, I remind myself of who all I have failed.
Ignorantly, I did things my way, to...

What's up miss popular? People know about your greed
Ya, got the text. The "Hey, dotard, don't talk to me freak,"
The average joe, and those silly electronics"
Please, Click Itch, labeling others as the smelly geek

“That body is female!”, they tell me.
At the turn of the moon
It purges itself of its sins,
Washing away what lives could have been,
Punished for failing biological duties.

“That body is female!”, they tell me.
Forever marked with...

Mirth-filled, children converse boisterously
Presenting their future jobs jovially
As the best and greatest, well-said pridefully
Midst innocence, sans ignorance of witty perspective cheerfully.

Child A: I’ll be an actor with varied roles distinctly 
	Ruling as president, then reigning...

Black women in America,
let the sterile tabulating machine 
tally your vociferous views
Loud women pridefully possessing 
the highest voting demographics in the amber land
Have your passions changed America’s
cruel grain racial oppression ... 
Are your males still...

Will I if I can't?

My will was mine, I'd blindly assert.
These hurting hands attached to a machine mind, 
a Martha of tasks, each feat to complete,
but scarcely succumbing to bask at Your feet.

In dominance she...

at the battlefield of war.
She carelessly awaits for the hour, watching
him and learning his many flaws.
He tells her that she can forfeit at any time,

If I could be anything
during this short life
before I pass and die 
I would want to be a tear

Behold the flageolet wizard wand — 
at each windpipe end,
it toe tag taps the same dirge sound

Abominable Gomorrah black buries
to the left
Vile Yeti blinking Babel blue buries

This voodoo mint stick
shows you the same...

Father’s toes are steel-capped,
Rough, worn-out leather, a layer
Of thick polish that cracks 
With each bend, each step.

His feet carry a child’s weight,
A bundle of laughter and bouncing curls
Balanced at his ankles, shuffling
Across outdated carpeted floors.

A...

In the sixth hour,
of the sixty-sixth day,
another doubter stood on the edge
of the dark abyss

Void chasm in the mind;
canyon to nowhere,
null directions written on a blank page

In the sixth hour,
of the sixty-sixth day,
a scoffer peered...

Promiscuous passions pretense

Promiscuous passion puts on a pretense
as he pridefully tries to prove his physical prowess

Promiscuous passion presumptuously pursues prey
by projecting his powerful persona on the perfect person

Promiscuous passions asks would you dance with me...

Without Hue

WHITE
a sign in all caps meaning
forbidden
first class
clean and more importantly correct.
Bedsheets and tablecloths
flowing in the night 
with madness most great
slowly blanketing the world’s peoples
in a snow of blond descent
while faces of the past that...

My mother did it again!
     She laid it pridefully on my plate.
     A coagulated, creative, colorful texture.
     She called it Suzeeka.

5 in the morning, Why					
do you keep at it? Howl-				
ing and wail-ing, the wall				
cries out in fear as					
you press your weight 				
into it.							
Heavy, heaved breaths
as it pulls inwards,
afraid for its cracked fate.
I sit and stare,...

Framed out pridefully perfect above the crisp glow of embers, is Family.
To each side sets sarcastically cocked crooked, Love and Hope.
Reality streams blindly through the window
While drapes try bravely to filter the unwanted.

There was a beautiful painting 
Sitting high on the wall
Painted perfectly 
Pitching pridefully
Partial color
Taking time
To reveal its true definition 

Admired by many
As guest walk by
Astounded
By hard work and dedication

The effort was less
Purity at its best
With...

There is a little cottage down by the sea
That serves warm scones and pots of tea

An old tired cottage made of stone
That stands pridefully all alone

She hands him a scone with...

 A rose's petals are tender to touch
The delicate nature is pridefully pure
That blazing beauty entices the eyes
While their thorns may leave you sore

They hold a scent of carnal passion
A deep perfume that...
