Shattered Family
I
Can’t
Believe
You
You’re always telling me, treats people equally .
But yet, here you are, yelling at me about the smallest things.
About how wrong I’m living my life.
How much pain my life actually brings.
Just today, actually. You pulled me aside. Sat me down. And began to yell.
Your words, words I’ve heard countless times before, began to bounce off the wall.
You voice, booming louder than it once was before, now shouting vulgar things at your own family member
Does is even matter how I feel at all?
No, of course not,...

Hope
Lately I've been so low
Like I've been in an eternal limbo
So morose
Talking to my own Shadow
But I guess I never had much Hope
About what the future may hold
I thought I lost it all; my humanity,
My soul,
To the devil I thought I sold
But now I know
That there's a God who saw it all, saw me lying on the floor
In an abyss, battered to the core
I thought I was too far gone to be saved anymore
Sucked into a black hole,
thinking if I could just take an extra dose
I'll drift away to a better place and all the pain would go ...

Thoughts of Hustla (Written by: Jimmy N. Alvarez)
The life we fall into, when we come from nothing.The easiest job to get that, don’t require a high school diploma or college degree.Just like any other business you start from the bottom and work your way up.The road ahead gets hard, with great rewards and life consequences. All of that is up to you. How mentally weak or strong are you to push forward and sacrifice everything. The deeper you get the higher the rewards and harsher punishment. The stress gets higher knowing, that every day can be your last. The moments you seize are priceless, but tomorrow is now and never promised. Everyone is...

If only I could transfer the feeling into you through a simple touch
I need to find the correct combination of words to slip from my mouth to your ear
Gotta find the words that you want to hear
The ones that make a smile bloom across your face and make you realize I'm not a mistake
cause it feels like as of recent every word I let flow from me into you lit fire to my tongue and left a knife in your ear
So i keep my distance from your existence
I go back into my own reality and I reread every line i ever wrote
I re arrange every single word that I ever spoke
But its still not there
No the sentence i need exists in a universe...

World at War
I
The world is at war
It has always been that way
And it will always be that way
Since life began
There has been a struggle
To exist and survive
We are all at war
Bacteria, fungi, insects,
Animals, humans, viruses,
Grasses, flowers, trees
The earth and other planets
The stars and the moons
The oceans and the rivers
All at war
The battles rage every day
There are moments of peace
Where wounds are treated
And the dead removed
We pause and reflect
But even then we fight
We fight back tears
We compare...

I Didn't Even Notice
The day passed by, and I didn't even notice.
Now it's been two years and I didn't even notice.
No one brought it up to me and I still didn't even notice.
Maybe because there's no stone on the ground.
There's no where for me to place flowers if I chose.
So when the day comes I barely think of it.
Is it bad to say that him being gone for my life only hurts me at random times?
I love him and I miss him.
And when I stare at my son too long, it comes back at me.
Half of my entire family is gone.
Wiped out in less than ten years out of my twenty years of...

Survival of the Fittest
I am a stark supporter of survival of the fittest. Survival of the fittest of course meaning the death of the weak. Here is where clarification is needed I believe to stipulate just what defines weak.
I believe weak is any human being who can't find it within themselves to simply try to do good on this earth. By good i simply mean not polluting another's life with harassment, abuse, bigotry, intolerance, ignorance, self-indulgence, hatred, pride, lust, gluttony, sloth, wrath, greed or envy more commonly known as the 7 deadly sins. If you have evil in your heart and with...

book 2 - early write
There was nothing more to John than a cigarette you would discard when split by rain, wet tobacco; thought would remind him of home, those that took their time with him found refuge - but time isn’t given in a robust society lacking awareness, or perhaps not the awareness John deserved. He sheltered none and neither did he seek. He had the world coming to him in biblical terms, more so than most, he led the meek. He was John. And nobody cared. And that suited him fine.
John had loved and lost love like us all, been bitten, chewed and then spat to the curb. He had enhanced...

I rented a room @Dup.com
So I rented a room last week @Dup.com
Did you know it comes with free poetry
a view and free coffee?
My first night at the Inn I ventured
downstairs, hey? Did anyone know
Madame Lavender opened a Bar & Grill on Dup?
I also hear,the Doc, gives free
medical advice too :|
she's such a good ole gal "D
Anyway, a few regulars were scattered about
some were having drinks while others
were dancing enjoying the cool menthol...
