Short Misrepresented Poems

sitting upon
throne of lies 
listening to
own acclaim 
living within 
a castle 
crafted out 
of misrepresented 
reality 
placed atop 
a mountain 
of grandiose delusions...

Turning down every invitation…
the invitations stopped

Ensuring the freedom I always craved,
alone inside my thoughts

Misunderstood and misrepresented,
my feelings misconstrued

And needing to live within myself
—no enmity toward you

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April, 2020)...

The world is noisy
Opinions and judgments
My truth is drowned inside me

The world is bossy
Conditions and commandments
My will is overlooked inside me

The world is cosy
Stages and ambience
My comfort is disregarded inside me

The world is nosey
Forms and surveillance
My profile is misrepresented inside me

The world doesn’t know me
Unheard but I keep up an appearance
Myself hidden inside me...

They visited my soul,
my sleepless nights.
Demarcated events
that I didn't participate,
  events forced me
to feel what I didn't feel...
They offered me love
that misrepresented me,
promised me what
I never wanted... They
Came to me in dreams,
Were unfaithful
to my real wishes,
  and after all
they left me unsatisfied
to screw with others
souls...
thank God, everything
It was a dream,
it's over if... !...

Your loyalty to christ jesus
is costly at most times
A firm stance in christ jesus;
Brace for violent persecution.
Now remember,Christ Jesus paid 
a ransom for you
The priceless ransom
is your advantage,
Be true to principle.
But there`s ridicule,loss of friends
and career opportunities,
Your reputation ruined
and misrepresented.
Fiery attack from false brethren!

Lilac skin is resting
not a hair misrepresented
all the flaming dreams of youth
cold and miscommunicated
Shades pulled on her eyelids
and her mother's eyelids too
A lifetime left of purpose
yet she's nothing left to do
She slept through birth
of children grand and their great children too
a legacy passed slowly down
triumphant as it grew
"Till one day when she finally 'woke
eyes bright life with tears
Her family's arms embracing her
Melt away, melt away years....

Not do bright after all

Glowing like a bulb

Covered way down deep in manure

Misrepresented and posing
as fertile soil

Backed up by so called expert 
quasi intellectual bright sparks 
types armed with clipboards
pie charts and endless statistics

To keep us all firmly in the dark

Using flattery as a conniving
erstwhile tool to make us all feel 

Ipso - facto 
De- facto
Tik - Tok - Toe

Aren't we therefore 

Er- Go

Also so very , very smart as well...

A white Santa showed a child the skin tone of the top brass
A white doll to an innocent black girl contrasts ugliness

A white wedding was beauty redefined as a cloak on a lass
A white Jesus, before we repented, repainted righteousness

A white collar is how we elevated and segregated a social class
A white angel flew from heaven and misrepresented its race

A black me is fighting a mind conditioned to be last
A black me is sometimes a victim of an innocence of whiteness...
