The poems I should've never had to writeThe poems that weep with grief
The one that bleeds a sadness unnoticed
The ones that grieve the erasure of colour
I wish I didn't have to write poems
To convince you of our pain
The one that stains every word on every page
The ones that can't bleed out of existence
The ones that break and...

I am the Force
The Master is resource
Not me
I do my service for a fee
I am neither client
Nor workforce
I ain't the source
I am the Force
I'm Source
This faulty government of yours
Attempts my Navy to coerce
I'll use the force
I swear
I will use the Force
And I won't have any remorse
For this
As such the function is Defense
We bear not...

A base of faithful devotees
buying into the showman's dream
the illusion
the fantasy

My God Has Not FailedMy God has not failed, though the world says He has
My God has not failed, though through flames I must pass
Though grief fills my heart, I do not have despair
My Savior still loves me and hears every prayer
My God has not failed, though mere men taunt and laugh
My God has not failed on this difficult...

A Version of a Woman in TimeCruelty wears a crown in a cloaked place,
cold-blooded grins behind mirrored faces.
Remorse walks the halls bartering tattle while I fracture.
They crowned me in shame, but
within a queen still rises.
They buried me in a fire of hell,
But like ash-gray smoke, I rise and swell.
I am the silence of the crown,
gone through ups and downs
stumbled in...

The Anvil of StillnessThey shout for a piece of my mind—
I offer the quiet, forged and cool,
Not shrapnel, not wildfire, not the grind
Of teeth on bone, but a deeper tool:
A breath that holds when the structure sways,
A root that grips when the landslide calls.
Peace isn’t the absence of the blaze,
But the choosing of water when fury sprawls.
It’s not...

The Crown of CrueltyIn a realm where kindness has vanished,
Where no light dares to appear,
The echoes of darkness reign,
Majestic and cruel in their sphere.
Sharp tongue, slice like a knife in depth
as you speak.
A flashy eye glare soothes your skin
as you walk past.
Words are full of deception, discrimination,
hatred of your color, identity as you-a settler
in...

Dewfresh Morn
Pain holds its insistence
pressed against me
I dream of a misty
selfless new morn
soft as maternal skin
easing me free
with a true smile to greet
a sweet day born!...

The Newness of NowNow is not categorized as such because it rose out of the sordid ashes of a yester-moment
Now is not classified as fresh because it arose pristine and bleached from yester-hour’s horror
The uniqueness of now is assigned according to a mind vision that gives permission to peer with a microscopic lens
Along with the realization that there...

Defiance
Oh, trouble...trouble, trouble, trouble...
I refuse to let you ruffle feathers of mine.
High mountain, don't dare stand in my way;
I'll push and claw my way to your summit!
Dear obstacle, I defy you! Put me through

A protest of reclamationThe ground shakes in anticipation
A wave of newfound hope sparks the attention
Of surrounding people
A march dedicated to the right of freedom
Each step marks the ground of remembrance
A permanent mark that refuses erasure
The sound of revolution echoes in every building
Voices that demand to be heard
Voices that demand reperation
Each chant an indictment
Each sign...

MaybeThe whisper of a promise
The hope of a new dawn
The sun rises with curiosity
Of what might come along
Of who might change the world
An elderly black woman sits
Basking in the sunlight to reminisce
Of a life far from bliss
Where pain was embedded in her blood
And childhood was an unfamiliar experience...

Strength of the WillThe Strength of the Will
Deep within every soul lay the strength of the will
All the temperance and fortitude that it can instill
When seeking for some answers and confusion is the host
Is when your inner strength of the will is needed the most
There are constant tests for this strength of the will
Willpower becoming a saviour,...
