Welcome

Cheer for the Villain (Can I Live?)

Is it wrong in movies
That I cheer for the villain
Not the violence or the killing
But that desire for
Success by any means
God willing
I’m against unnecessary blood spilling
But who wouldn’t want to live in a world
Where the meals are more filling
My veins are more chilled and
Maybe that could be the difference
That we’re no longer children
Since then my life’s been poetic
So if I put it in rhyme
Then
Maybe I can make a killing
Have first billing
Be commended
And sit’in sit’in
Use that to make a difference
But I’m told
It’ll never happen
Since my blood is already chilled and
I’m as cold as ice
Why do I need to still be nice
Why can’t I just be like
Movie star villains
Moving like Jordan
With an assist from Pippen
Contradictions
That doesn’t sound so right
Because then I’ll … Continue reading

Pretending to Understand

World Peace
Can be achieved with money
Because it’s the lack thereof
And the desire for it
That causes conflict
Problem
Solve it
If money doesn’t exist
We won’t have resistive issues
Such as this
But I forgot
The major player in the mix
Something that I missed
People
Don’t change
Simply
Because the standard
We use to measure change
Verses dollars
Were to change
It’s only worded differently
By eras
And generations
I know
That was worded kind of strange
In certain areas
Race
Has seen complacency
No one cares to address
The “isms” that come adjacently
I’m thinking it’s the taste
No historical
Value
Too common place
Especially in the face
If we all looked alike
Colour was the same
Non-distinguishable
From outer space
There wouldn’t be a problem
If that were the case
But I forgot
The major player
It’s a twist
Something that I missed
People… Continue reading

See, I Can Hear You

Speak clearly
So I can hear you
I can read minds
But
I’m lazy so I don’t care to
Say my name
Three times
I’ll be near you
Take away your fear too
I know that the challenge
Really scares you
I seem so spaced out
Kind of unaware too
I see everything
But I have rules
That I adhere to
My stare
It’s kind of cold too
Would feel strange
When I hold you
That was a long prologue
I appear to
Have gotten carried away
What am I trying to say
Is this specific
Just happened today
Well
I have a sculpture
I made it from clay
I can bring her to life
Mould her my way
But I love strength
What am I trying to say
A lioness
Who would fight me
For play
Thick skin
Bite marks would vanish
Won’t stay
So what am I trying … Continue reading

100 Day Story: Day 0000

So the story begins
With
Once Upon a Time
There was a woman with a child
A daughter
In a house
Maybe there was laughter
There was also a knight
Whose best friend was Truth
Awkward at times
But confidently mute
And they loved stories
With happy endings
Especially love stories
When
They needed something
To believe in
So the story begins
Once Upon a Time
There was a princess
Locked away in the furthest
Corner of a dark castle
Waiting
Longing for a prince
Who would go through the hassle
Cross the river Styx
To kiss her lips
Wake her from slumber
If only
She hadn’t changed her number

Day 0001
Day 009Continue reading

100 Day Story: Day 009

It was Monday
Lunch may
Have been tasty
Somewhere
Where she wasn’t
Thinking of her friend
Seen his number
Decided not to call
Back
That wasn’t the way to treat him
Then
Again
Would he want to hear
Be the shoulder
That soaked up the tears
Of her marriage
Coming to an end
Or would he just pretend
It wasn’t affecting him
His pride
Belonged to
Men among men
Would she have to
Lose her clothes
Go past the barriers of –
Or was she just afraid
Of rejection
Too soon
Too soon
The reality of choice
Is that when the choice
You want
Is the only choice
You have
How do you know if it’s the choice
You want
Time
She needed it
To soak it all in
She had remembered
On that Saturday morning
How empty the house had been
No husband
After sleeping and waking
Finally noticing … Continue reading
