Nobody

Hello

Does anybody hear me?

Hear me? Hear me?

Echoes ring out

No one is there

My lungs are sore

My throat is dry

It’s dark and I’m lonely

Where is everyone? Anyone?

Someone? There is no one

Hello

Hello…hello…hello

Echoes ring out

Maybe I’ll talk to my echoes

Move the way the frequency flows

I am the one rose

In time froze

I am the one chose

To alone endure life’s throes

As the pain grows

The walls close

My sanity goes

O me my woes

Hello

Hello…hello…hello…

Does anybody hear me?

Anybody? Somebody?

There’s nobody

I Try To Speak

I try to speak but the words fail

I cry out, but to no avail

There is a hand over my mouth

That keeps my screams from coming out

I have no voice, no way to proclaim

My anguish and suffering and my shame

I try to speak out, but on deaf ears

Not literally, but by careless peers

People who don’t care about my plight

People who see my suffering and get delight

I cry out, they don’t want to hear

I scream out, In my darkest drear

Now don’t get me wrong, People do come

When they want to use my body, get them some

I try to speak out while they are using me

They ears are even closed as they are misusing me

If they would open their ears just for a second

I would scream out forget the mythical legend

I am not a sex object with no feelings

I am not put here for your sexual dealings

I am a woman like other women, who cry

I am a woman like other women, who die

I am a woman like other women, who bleed

I am a woman like other women, who carry seed

I am a woman like other women, who need love

I am a woman like other women, what’s the difference whereof

The only difference between me and others

Is people’s ideas and stigma that covers

The women of color in america

We’ve been branded saddler

We don’t have to fall into that slot

Made to wallow in the slop

Let us rise from the mire

Be real women should be our desire

They won’t give it to us, let’s take it

Change the negative views, and forsake it

The Real Black Man

See with your eyes, Hear with your ears

Open your understanding, As the lie clears

The black man has been demonized

The damage from his enemies advertised

In the media on a daily basis

By a society built upon racists

The lie that the black man is lazy

When his enemies portray him as crazy

The black man is not lazy

He is just in a world led by the shady

He tries to get a job to take care of his family

But he is met with rejection and agony

Fast food jobs can’t pay the bills

Though he is filled with many useful skills

But because he is a Hebrew man

He is constantly knocked down unable to stand

They say the black man is a criminal

Though the media leads him there in the subliminal

The messages they push to our young boys

Their values and morals it destroys

The black man just does what he can

To try to make a way for his family to stand

The effects of the damage done to him through the years

Is the same damage that causes them fears

The black woman was turned on him from the beginning

Played their part well now, let’s change the ending

Women don’t blame your men for their enemies wrong

You just help to make the gap between us strong

That man would take care of you give you the best

If he wasn’t in another man’s land oppressed

Now don’t get me wrong there are fools everywhere

I’m just saying To your men be fair

Keep in mind that he was destroyed and brought low

Through mental and physical abuse long ago

Demeaned and treated as a child

From his enemies the break downs piled

You can’t give them all a chance, some are too far gone

If you do find a real black man, Don’t treat him wrong

Don’t let your enemies tell you what your men are

Begin to work on healing each others scar

Remember he has the weight of the world on his shoulders

Nobody gives him a hand with the heavy boulders

He is made to do what he can with nothing

And expected to come home with something

The black man is stronger than you think

He has been trampled and just won’t sink

Their enemies are astonished at their strength

After the abuse and demonizing long length

They say we have broken their families structure down

A lot continue to to swim, we expected them to drown

We gave them alcohol and drugs everywhere

A lot still don’t partake of it, they stay aware

We feed them garbage through our tvs and radios

But some still stand and oppose

We must admit we have destroyed many

Leaving them broken and without a penny

Building jails we drive them to

By denying them their basic due

We took their nationality from them, rendered them hopeless

Flooded them with so much garbage and called them soulless

Black women embrace your black men

The real black men who try to win

By taking care of his family, though it’s dim

It’s not their fault what happened to them

The real black man who didn’t get sucked into the negative

The real black man that despite it all he tries to live positive

The real black man who doesn’t live by his enemies words

Who let his own experiences move him, not whispers from birds

The real black man that sticks with his wife and kids

The real black man who kids try to pick up garbage and he forbids

The real black man who keeps his kids from the thug ways

The real black man who does his best to lead his family in love always

Not the black boy who embrace the thug ways

Not the black boys who succumbed to the supposed black phase

Not the black boys who make families and leave

Not the black boys who set out to deceive

A woman that could have been shaped right

To become a real man’s heart’s delight

Not whoremongers who taint young girls

Turning them into whores instead of pearls

Winter Walk

I took a walk on a winter’s day

I saw the trees and full array

The leaves were gone

The stumps so strong

I wondered of them

Every twig every stem

I sat down on the grass

I watched a leaf glide pass

I felt the breeze through my hair

The sun peeped unaware

I felt no heat from it’s dim stare

I then felt a sudden despair

I missed the sun

And summer fun

Then I saw a bloom

Smelled a flowers perfume

My heart leaped with delight

Spring was finally in sight

I hugged myself thinking of the sun

Soon it’ll be time for summer fun
