Culture: Poem #1
(Inspired by Gloria James)
Just wonderful poems just touch my heart
You are your insight
The N word is used in a degrading tone of hate not love
N word was not always used negative, sometimes in my day
But,
What comes around goes around
Someone you can love and feel no pain
My poetry is me
You are the best you can be
I am gods love too
Evaluate the treasures of the soul
Nevermore are you to cruel to love
My first word was dada

Consciousness: Poem #3
(Inspired by Eileen Carole)
The word is power & Whatever I say
I can’t live it, I can’t breathe T
They have never tried to survive without us and they not gonna start trying now.
Clarity leads to the light.
My muse is in my soul
What my heart feels
We both share soul{s}
Victorious
Ponder on the patterns of life
Making life’s pain bearable, a poem is in your heart
How black do I have to be?
Where feelings, words, pour heartfelt pain with same heart poems Colorful, juicy red American dream walking blackward
Matter of fact, this black enough.
