'have Mercy'

(GOD Have Mercy)
Technicalities, got our generations 
living drastically, its not rational u 
see, cops being the worst gang-oops 
should i say allegedly, even babies 
killing babies, dads acting shady, 
moms are going crazy, that's just 
not how it's supposed to be, we 
supposed to live righteously, learn 
in the church-then reach those in 
the streets, no longer shall i be 
discrete, ever since His face i 
decided to seek, i feel like it's 
imperative for me, to spread the 
word until they begin to take heed, 
listen to what my pastor preach, 
then meditate n let God use me to 
minister thru poetry, cause our 
children are dying slowly, i feel like i 
owe Jesus Christ richly, to make Him 
known to the ungodly, here me 
somebody, if u can't stand the 
summer how u going live in hell 
remember that's fire that Burns to 
the teeth, don't you want to go up 
yonder live everlasting peace where 
the angels sing, this is a plead to u 
from me, i can't save your soul-but 
my sister's n brother's I Pray on 
your soul GOD Have Mercy!

She Loves,

...
I once knew this girl that yearned to be loved; not just because she treated people like they were the world, but just because...  I once knew a child that started to abuse herself; she drastically changed her style, and threw away her wealth... I tried to tell her she was special, and that pain wasn't pleasure; that her family loved her and I loved her too, and to God she was a rare treasure... I once knew this girl who lost her best friend and changed, she would cry all the time in secret; she became suicidal and deranged, she was filled with regret... One day I told her to look to heaven, and she would find the truth; that she was forgiven; not just blood but red also represents LOVE and it was time for her to dislike being blue... I once knew this girl who wanted abundant sisters and brothers, since hers were taken away; because they had different mothers, I told her she would find more one day... I told her to never lose Love again, and stay focused on GOD; that I promised to be her new best friend, and to push even more when her future gets hard... She is I, and I am she; and that’s why, I LOVE regardless what they do to me... Now, that’s my testimony; wow, to GOD be the Glory!

Sincere Apology

I can't change who I used to be, I 
can't change the things I've done; I 
can give a sincere apology, and 
hope you except this one.
Ok I hurt you before, I violated your 
trust; I once walked out the door, 
and gave up on love for lust.
I'm sorry I can't be who you want 
me to be, but did you ever stop to 
think that just maybe; I'm trying to 
live differently, and that it hurts me 
too but you're too blind to see!

Real Talk

I...
Love you I do, more than my poetic 
verses could ever explain; but ever 
time the sun begins to shine thru, 
some type of way here comes the 
rain.
The good and bad, I know you 
remain the same; so determined to 
restore what we had, I took off the 
disguise and stopped the game.
Even though emotions shouldn't be 
the base of decisions, I thank you 
for this heart of mine; promise no 
more hectic incisions, I want it ALL 
this time.
No lies and ceased being fake, feel 
the fire burn inside like a stomach 
to crunches; already realized there's 
much at stake, no matter what I'm 
rolling with the punches!

Released,Deceased,Increasesd Pt1

As I sit n begin to think, i say Lord 
never typed a freestyle; then i blink, 
n pray i make since as my fingers go 
wild...
Figure i might as well start off from 
now, but my insides saying start 
from when u was a child, then i 
question how, back then i was wild.
Well at least once i hit twelve, that's 
when i started to rebel, head got 
swell, doing things that could've led 
me to hell, yet n still, He kept me 
from jail, knew i was a female but 
others couldn't tell, baggy clothes 
hiding insecurities-past pained 
deliveries-caught up impurities 
acting a fraction of a male, upon 
life's tragedies i fell, allowed my 
flesh to put my soul in a cell, 
imprisoned by my own sins couldn't 
even hear my spirit yell, to da 
enemy-i gave my energy- 
responding to devils schemes like a 
hostess to a bell, even sold things 
that had to hit a scale, hiding my 
parents mail, so the cut cards n 
report cards saying fail, didn't sell, 
in my self was where i began to 
dwell, and it wasn't because i 
couldn't spell, math genes crazy 
always excelled, n in art i was crazy 
especially with the pastels, but to 
school i fake said farewell, ignored 
the chance to exhale, couldn't smell 
the crap that became my shell, seen 
the outcome yet was oblivion to the 
details, sharing my temple thru an 
email, letting my smarts go down 
the drain i began to get slow like a 
snail, big as a whale, forgot i was 
supposed to be the head instead 
turned into the tail, never took sail, 
attitude buffed but wisdom was 
frail, seeing different hotels, even 
chilled in some motels, like i forgot 
placed in His hands n feet were 
nails, listened to fabricated tales, 
derailed, then upon my own face 
placed a veil...

Released,Deceased,Increasesd Pt2

And lets not forget 16, wicked n 
mean, knew when i was on the 
scence, job corp cause i seen the 
green, doing things thirty yr olds 
never seen, breaking things, like 
hearts with recycled rings, empty 
promises and thrown away dreams, 
car crash ambulance took me off the 
scene, turned mean, slicing things, 
still carry the scar on me, yet it still 
wasn't clear to me that i was 
deteriorating like a baby tooth from 
a cavity, almost like if the Lord let 
me be, self beatings so crazy guess 
that's why he had mercy on me...
Became a beast, Down south-
wandering drunk-in misery i sunk-
forgot i was dunked-lite on my feet, 
fell on my knees, screamed, looked 
in front of me, jus to see, i fell out in 
the street, in front of a church with 
no just one cross but three, started 
to release, forgive me, 23, and i 
know this isn't the life You had for 
me, how could i disgrace Thee, Lord 
have mercy never meant to betray 
Thee, kill whatever's inside me, who 
needs a team, they can care less 
bout me, felt a breeze, movement in 
the trees, four years later went to 
conference conquered things, 
repented read poetry, after i began 
to plead, truly believed, felt His 
grace & mercy, salvation received, 
stamped the death certificate n put 
ceased, next to all the altered egos 
created by the old me...
Now i stand tall, no longer stall, 
wanting it all, knowledge 
understanding wisdom love n 
patience until I'm called, in the end i 
know its gonna be a ball, but until 
then-daily i die to sin and on His 
name i call, lead me use me move 
me correct me if i fall, not of this 
world, no longer with God do i 
brawl, first Ieshaw decided to 
release, then Shawn deceased, now 
through the CHRIST in me, finally 
GodzPo3tic1 increased!

-random-

As i see my today, i smile at my 
yesterday, and my future well that i 
excitedly await, glad i changed my 
state, of mind that is...
To positive, willing to give, dying 
daily so in me He can live, as i sit by 
the riv-,
-er, no longer miss the old me but 
instead loving the new her, cleansed 
by His water, no longer buying 
quarters, slaughter...
The enemy, by staying in my word 
daily, day by day He heals me, reveal 
to me, that i clearly, got a gift inside 
of me, beautifully...
Manifesting, a poetic blessing, 
steadily pressing,  without a 
question, no more stressing!

How'

HE is the ONE...Look to the SON!

Ever been misused
Ever been abused
Ever been falsely accused,
Ever been raped
Ever been taped,
Ever been talked about
Ever been kicked out
Ever been full of doubt?

B u t  G o d...

Remember when you heard no
Remember when they said you
	can't go
Remember when they said you're 		
too slow,
Remember when the doctors said 		
you wouldn't make it
Remember when the lawyers said 		
you couldn't shake it
Remember when the enemy said 		
you wouldn't break it
Remember when you thought you 		
couldn't take it?

B u t  G o d...

How about neglected
How about disrespected
How about arrested
How about tested,
How about lost everything u had
How about cut, sliced, or stabbed 
How about pushed, shoved, or			
grabbed,

B u t  G o d... 

Have you been attacked
Have you been threatened 				
because you were black,
Have you ever lost your breath
Have you ever stared in the eyes of 
death,
Have you ever been addicted to 		
any drug
Have you ever missed a guns slug
Have you ever been exposed to a 		
bug,
Have you been in a car crash
Have you ever felt like trash?

B u t  G o d...

Are you still in your right mind
Are you still capable of telling 			
time,
Are you still standing
Are you understanding
Are you still comprehending,
Are you still breathing???

B U T  G O D!!!

HE is the ONE...Look to the SON!

Day 4

I'm a new creation, going through 
construction; He's replacing and 
erasing my sinful nature that had 
me facing destruction...

Finally I've awakened, after all the 
breaking, I've been shaken, no 
mistaking, this walk I'm delightfully 
taking, no more giving my goals to 
satan, no more faking, all the fallen 
leaves I'm raking, shaking, all the 
flaking, residue that had me aching, 
my world was quaking, like a pipe I 
needed snaking, now my blessings 
I'm retaking, for I was never 
forsaken, a testimony in the 
making...

I'm a new creation, going through 
construction; He's replacing and 
erasing my sinful nature that had 
me facing destruction...
