In a world full of snakes How do you tell which is poisonous Each identical Yet some harmful In a world full of political parties How do we know which one is all inclusive Different paths But the same ending? In a world full of smiles How do you differentiate between lie and truth When promises are empty And lies become...

"Incline your ear and come to Me. Listen that you may live; And I will make an everlasting covenant with you." Isaiah 55:3 I chose the character trait, trustworthy, and wrote this piece alternating between prayer and listening to God speak to me. Father, all glory to You and Your Son, I treasure Your forgiveness of...

It was a misty morning in Moscow— When fate and palm first softly crossed, In gilded halls where secrets sleep, I met a man both sharp and lost. An oligarch with eyes of frost, Berezovsky, his name well known, His smile—a veil for storms within, His heart, a throne turned into stone. He ushered me with silken grace, Into his room where silence spoke, "Read...

Come on big men of the world You that owe the power You have already had much money To move on soldiers You have already had much gold To feel stronger You have already had luxury palaces To live comfortably safer in And fields, ground, soil, trees, Rivers, lakes and seas.

Rip the sheets of comfort of their privileged bodies Let the cold hit their skin To feel the harsh reality of life Fed with safety and security No longer will they be coddled by warmth Whiteness will not save you Your evil will be put to shame Your secrets pushed into the spotlight Pandering will not be allowed We are tired of...

Perfection is a lie told by the white man They say 'the fairer, the better' But with ego comes the self proclaimed Perfection Where what they say goes Where objectivity is something they claimed to own However it just goes to show pride will be their downfall Distracted by vanity and ego And their self distorted reflection They painted in the...

Why? That's the question. Why? Why? Why? Why? Why do we live in a world that hates change A world clinging to a past long gone Why must hate be so common Why does the world insist evolution is a myth to progression Maybe it's just because they thrive in the tension Maybe because if we cleared the fog of distraction We would see their...

The rich and their money, the rich and their caviar. The rich and their parties, the rich and their friends. The rich and their polo shirts, the rich and their tennis matches. The rich and their trust funds, the rich and their mansions. The rich and their cars, the rich and their speedboats. The rich and their engagements, the rich and their affairs. The rich and their absolutes, the...

Animals may live in bliss, yet as such it is remiss on our part not to explore, the way to God through heart’s door. Since mind has limitation, peace as our meditation, positions us in the void, where we’re not by thoughts decoyed. In time stretched calm, ego’s shorn, whereupon we’re reborn, feeling bliss ignition start, deep in the cave of our heart. As we come into...

They make the stereotype of the loud and angry black woman seem bad But why has nobody questioned who made us like that The language they use to belittle us Our mouths hand stitched with silence And the box of requirements we are shoved into Threatened by the mark of violence Yes I am loud and no I will never be...
