well get the fuck out the foyer embroiled in a battle of wits the cattle is hit mad paddles are hit ping pong tables of lawyers loop hole spoilers laws made to encrypt tales failed to enlist pails full of bile slowly are tipped poured over shit pockets full of bits bacon forsaken taken told stories shake n bake unfolding enslavement broken homes oragami folds lack of compassion is the street codes sheeps sold shaved for fortunes untold as the stewed beef simmers slow spiced with a bitter blow nights turn to winter cold days become pitiful lives turn to dollar signs greed will only gratify your soul grows old and liquify's Lucifer sips and takes your life....

SUMMERTIME
my beautiful, brown skinned princess,
a momentous dream, immensely intense,
offering incense to honor gift thats heaven-scent
up until the birthing day, my brain a canvas of sprayed thought like hood graffiti,
layered with one million reasons why this child would need me,
teach her to recite genealogy, with rich tales woven of unwritten mythology
impart skills of elusive life methodology,
remain fugitive at heart in worlds of subliminal, target marketed technology
play the role of father, teacher, a philosophical role model,
the one at 3am to get up, change nappies & warm a milk bottle
shape and hone her mind, teach about the many flaws of mankind
hope to become best friends, and I intend, to defend her fiercely 'til the end
this newborn, adorned in fine egyptian cotton and other fabrics,
remember how to count in synergy mathematics?
now 1 + 1 = 4, not 2 or even 3 'cos its 2nd time round for me,
admittedly sometimes I'm doubtful of my ability
to provide for a 4 person family,
but I continue to excel, without bragging I intuitively let it happen
and things falls together like 31st December,
I remember the way I stared into the embers,
of the blunt end, extend my hand to old friends...
sharing laughs, crack a beer; scent of change is in the air,
glaring truth in the New Year; yeah...thinking of my career
I'm making my way now, acquiring taste of full cream milk from a cash cow,
KAPOW...like superheroes it hit me, damn! Im a grown man,
living a 5 year plan, so I ignore shallow demands
I learnt to stand, by working the hard earth with my own two hands
not prepared to waste my life struggling in quicksand...
and then she smiles, something so surreal and sweet makes all the shit worthwhile
I'd run 10,000 miles just to see it on her dial, stare awhile
file it to memory so even if stranded on a desert isle,
starving to death, being eaten by a crocodile or some other vicious reptile
I'd be at peace, complete, like the first love of a juvenile...
my little girl...I would set fire to the whole world
at dusk just to keep you warm, then at dawn,
summon a torrential thunderstorm,
so we could jump in the puddles,
then go inside guzzle cocoa,
while we dry off, play with jigsaw puzzles,
never going to let my priorities get muddled
ain' got no time for disbelievers & their negativity,
pays not to meddle in the affairs of the heart & family
you obviously dont know me or have a fucken clue about my capabilities
pity, the fools who stricken with terminal disabilities
dont bother pulling up at my curb, study the words
of Eminem's Mockingbird, anthem heard by real men,
feelin' the real struggle in the suburbs
proverbs of real life, staunch guardians of the REAL world...
haters watch close as I smile, and let my middle finger unfurl
Elusive-Fugitive

A congragation of bombed illations rips through nations
purpoused equation revalation and savage desperation
condensation fades where weather vein corrodes in pain
realisation degrades sickness reign in descriptive of gain
bare witness to figures listed ingrain withered and plain
peace just a little 5 lines before i go out peace

Re: The Official Poetry Thread ( Please Sticky )
money can corrupt happiness turn it into rich shallow sadness buying friends trust is damaged searching for love while gold diggers scavange money buys materials but materials quickly vanish Love is a state of mind over trust and time built and primed if you have happiness then money you'll find cream can fracture your foundation if the temptations glimmer and shine compared to dimmer dank times remember the rich divorce a lot and search for naught as money is there addiction causing friction that easily grinds a relationship down over time floating in money can drown the blind! feed our children and invoke new crimes if you search for happiness in wealth you're blind if you find happiness in health you're fine money used to instill happiness confines...
Re: The Official Poetry Thread ( Please Sticky )
I haven't read everything yet but I'm loving the vibe
It seems like poetry is the only time I feel alive
Well besides when I chill with my fam and build with my peeps
Or learn some lessons from people that get denied in the streets
I take journeys and try not to throw my family off key
When all I'm trying to do is get myself completly free
It's time to eat and yeah I know this isn't the freestyle chamber
But I had to kick a verse to show that I'm not being a stranger
I leave you with the words "Peace Be Unto You"
Lets build and congrigate cause this is how us poets do
Re: The Official Poetry Thread ( Please Sticky )
some random thoughts I quickly jotted...
congregated minds equate an open thinking box
constipated rhymes create shitty covered cocks
lincoln logs are building blocks in adolescent thoughts
cinder blocks are bombed and dropped in terroristic plots
fishes that are hooked then sorted... pinchers reflex you're paying for it
midget dwarf diminutive in court... fidget hoarse innocense contorts

Re: The Official Poetry Thread ( Please Sticky )
Who's God??
Is he a spook in the sky? Atheists demand proof have we been spoofed to believe lies
Have we been deceived by fictious stories of heaven n' hell when we die?
Churches defeat the purpose of finding what's beneath the surface
Wage war on sinners as if their free of sin, christians started crusifixion
Slaughtered indians, a trail of tears history is missing facts
I'm here to bring you back and awaken sleepy heads from their naps
Even scriptures have been tainted it's been stated by historians
Ya'll ignoring them mislead by Satan, hating the truth
Pastors, and preachers fool you with their interpretations of the truth
Re: The Official Poetry Thread ( Please Sticky )
we're trapped in a world of pleasure and pain
where even sexual encounters are one in the same
and tyrants of men steal wives of the slain
while the suffering stay humble and the rich always complain
and alcholic beverages are produced from the grain
while there's children who starve when bread can be made by the same
I smell the weight of a diaper from a baby neglected
I see a woman thown on the streets after her house was inspected
I hear a crack head beg for change cuz he like's pleasure injected
I feel my body grow week from all these things- it's infected
a world where it's better to be feared then respected

Peace to all the poets dropping' the mad lines
weather it be food for thought or simple nourishment for the mind
as the bells of life chime, they take me back to a time
when a woman had no worries and thoughts were blurry when it came to crime
it all seems so distant because the world is full of ills
sending shivers up my spine while leaving my flesh covered with chills
no one gives a fuck about the thrills
cuz, it's only momentary elation
a snap back to reality makes one envision the vast frustration
... complications holding us down
while the higher ups plaster on frowns
swimming in a sea of luxury while the rest of us just drown
they're selfishly holding the life boats with the hopes that keep us afloat
teasing us like little children and stringing us along like fiends on dope
to hell with all their bullshit attempts to sell us these dreams of freedom
brainwashed by sugarcoated lines that have the flock going wherever they choose to lead them
but I'll rebel ...
cuz see, a sister wants out of this cell
I don't give a damn about this melting pot they call America because to me it's synonymous with hell
it's like living a death sentence that been wrongly opposed upon me
still suppressed and oppressed in a land where we're supposed to be free
so, fuck the 40 acres and a mule, how about real employment with descent wages
and owning a home and an automobile without prices and taxes being so outrageous
how about a free collage education and some muthafuckin' healthcare
you know, some real shit for the "children" instead of the endless grip of welfare
help solidify this "future" that you claim they're supposed to be
because the future as it stands right now appears to me to be quite bleak
the only thing our government does is procrastinate and hesitate
putting our lives on the back burner, not giving a damn about out fate
I feel hopeless at times, like I'm trapped in a maze with no escape
That's just how it seems ...
I just want to spread my wing and take flight to a land of lost dreams
where people really care about their fellow man first, and give a fuck about the possessions and the cream
I'm not just blowing off some steam, I'm giving a voice to some real issues
trying to let the masses of children know "I'M STILL WITH YOU"
hopefully others will feel my message so that I won't have to stand alone
unite under the flags of what right so that we can provide our children with a "HOME"
Peace
