A Black Man's Opium Noose


Waking to unsink the ship
To a slave hell we bid fair thee
The sparks of brimstone well
For in hell prejudice dwells
On sulphur oxygen!

A Winter Sonnet

Live as a recital, 

Trapped in the shadows of December's sad amnesty song, An ode to joy! Written by the trinity concepts of fall, Months that stream malignant tears like the fading stars from the sky, Voting to bypass the bitter demise of sandcastle earth's season of dark emotion terrors contrived as demons conspire under shade of night, Proposing a vile hope toast to a forever twilight!


In earnest anticipation of,

Poetry Isn't Just...

In union
Yet opposition
To yesterday's speech




The parallel between how you say... 
Anything at all...
And what you say.

Whilst we,
     Can take voice coaching and acting lessons, 
who we are behind the projection doesn't wholly change,
 so what is your message?

Are you driven by conviction?
A built in white over world black moral,
Hand me nature down code of ethics?
Or
Do you simply desire...
A formidable viral status,
An achievement to adorn your mantle,
For the benefit of an insecure confidence,
Why attend the last day on earth ceremony...?
See just how big a part you couldn't have played,
If you'd lived the change the world needed,
Stopped playing at belief,
Instead...
Striving to achieve it,
In every moment,
You're livin' in!

So are there any differences,
Between the sponsored,
A Treasured Ted Talk,
And a Bedroom Poets,
Spoken words...
Spot the depths if you dare!

Between speaking to be heard
And
Speaking because the conviction inside,
Mangles your compassion empathetic imagination engine,
Pacified by... Possibly, a willingly adopted conscious sedation inside.
Create like you speak, for a reason...
Beyond achievement or reward

In earnest anticipation of,
