Poem of the Day: The Evolution of a Deadbeat Crackhead

The Evolution of a deadbeat crack head Halfway hoping for a relapse so I could be right, As halfway wrong as that sounds, How could I not want to be right? Tug of war with my conscious, Although, I subconsciously want to say the word daddy, The past, present, and future is clashing, Your past is affecting the present, And your presence is precedence to me, And its becoming more detrimental to rekindle a relationship that never was, Never was… No it was never anything there but Abandonment Bereavement Carelessness Shall I go on No let’s not dwell on the past, Although the past has made me who I am,   I cannot let those events shape my future, Hmm hmm … our future, Maybe time has done you well, And yes, I say maybe with a plethora of doubt, Scratching my head thinking of a way to let you in, But still ….

Poem of the Day: How Lucky You Are to Be So White...

  How lucky you are to be so white How lucky you are to be so white Against you my chances are slim What made you so superior? When our shadow is the same, and we are composed of the same interior, What made you decide that you shall defy that most high? And exalt yourself above – Above me, Where we have to document the first black to… The daunting task of proving my worth, A long train in each car loaded with oppression, restrictions, All because of color distinctions, How lucky you are to hold a color so distinguished Product of the past causing anguish Different dialect but same language, Nigger! Nigger! Nigger! Sending a bad signal to my brain as it transmits through my ears, Piercing my cerebellum Underneath-- a curse, spell, since the beginning, Where are the silver lining and the decorated trimming? Trying to move on but continue clinging to imagery of whippings, Being sold on the block like a piece of rock being
