Out of people
Places and things
Things
Are the easiest to come by
But some take the harder road
To destinations
Where some die
Tombstone reads
Shot by
Some guy
You sow what you reap
Speaking of reap
Earp reaped a lot of bad
Guys
He was
Some guy
But I more looked up
To Jesse James
My mother warned me
You don’t want to be
That guy
It wouldn’t matter anyways
I was a black guy
Remember back in the day
When the bad guy
Was the last man standing
And the other guy
Left with a black eye
What happened to
That guy
It was tragic
He got stabbed
And the stabber
Got shot through one eye
What happened to the shooter
He got shot by
Some guy
That’s a shame
He was the don
Of getting things
He was
Some guy… Continue reading

Brainstorming…a Little
This morning I was motivated
A little
To write down
A little
Because I only felt like retyping
A little
Get to the point
Whittle
So you see how
Sharp I can get
Maybe somewhere
Take on the appearance
Of the child in the middle
Malcolm
Rays
From a machine
Won’t be able to see through the plot
So untangle with me
Slowly
Like a knot
Not
Too complicated
But I’m brainstorming
Ink drops
Out of a quill
So it’s
Not
Organised
Jott-
Ing
Words
Down on the page
How old are you
My age
Twenty something
So I’m still overconfident
Aspiring to big dreams
And plenty ‘somethings’
That I convey to you
With my pen
And something…
Paper
Will make me immortal
Or something
One thing
I’ve never had an interest in
Being the guy that runs things
Must’ve been the potential for violence
Or the gun thing
Once … Continue reading
Honestly
Honesty: What is honesty? Is it telling someone the truth or is it telling them the truth they need to hear? The problem with speaking the unvarnished, pure truth is we run the risk of hurting an individual or showing them something they weren’t ready to see. Most people aren’t afraid of the truth but at the same time they might not be in the right state of mind to deal with what their senses are telling them.
If that’s the case when will they be ready and is silence the best course of action? There is always the option to verbalise or show a person only the “necessary” truth; the parts of it they can handle. Some say a half truth is a lie – me being one of them. In the end, leaving truth up to interpretation means someone is always lying. There is no truth in interpretation … Continue reading
100 Day Story: Day 004
Her lunch was forgettable
It had been three days
Since she had been back to work
And yesterday
Had brought back memories
Did he
Remember she
Was probably
Where her thoughts would be
If she hadn’t been
Fidgeting distractedly
With the impulse of
Getting up
Going down
To say
“Hello.
You know
I was thinking about…”
No
That would be
The wrong set of words
Actions
Verbs
Be seen
Let him observe
Make the first approach
Would be
Better
But what if he said something
To upset her
Would take two steps back
And other results
Circled
Without a conclusion
But she knew
There would be no resolution
Until
She confirmed the emotion
She had Sunday night
Fleeting though it may have been
Seeing him
Made it feel so right
And wouldn’t it be impolite
To see a friend
And not ask
If he’s alright
Looking back
To a when… Continue reading
I’m Trying
I’m trying…I’m trying
Not to go too far
Old vibes with a new car
Somebody whispering in my ears
I guess it’s you star
Same ol’ in a new war
Same liquor in a new bar
Ever ask yourself if who you are
Who you is
Is the sum of two kids
Asking about parents
Wondering what you did
I kid
I fib
Not really
I feel static in a place
Static in a race
But I’m told I’m winning
Or is it could win
I still don’t feel it
Could it be
The colour of…
…My clothes
Played a trick didn’t I
Hear the intellects catching that
And saying
“Hey what a guy”
I would take the applause
But I’m shy
Many try to disagree and go
“No
Not that I”
And I tell them
Take off the rose coloured glasses
See
Not that eye
Now you look better… Continue reading
