EEhhhhh....

Swing that ass! Betsy

How do you expect to attract that male bull Walter

I didn't pitch all that hay for nothing

Twerk a bit, do something

We can't let this opportunity slide by

Look at them hips and thighs

If word got out

My name won't hold any clout

Now is not the time to play it safe

We need babies to fill up this place

With your shiny coat and clean huffs

You are not foul , you look like a princess

Or even like a doll!

Don't worry about Walter balls

Those are not the parts we want to work with

Just focus on getting him in you stall

Honey put on your glasses

You know you can't see

Because that is Walter and not Betsy

EEhhhhhhh.....

Why so serious?

Why So Serious?

Said the man with beef between his teeth

So I avoided his nose and looked to his feet

Oh No! what are those!!

His toes looks like retired crows

With missing feathers and shit

If it was an endangered species it might have been lit

So I elevated my gaze up to his waist

Wait, is that toothpaste?

How did it get from his face to that space?

Do I want to know?

Hell to the no!

In the end I decided to look at the top of his head

Really is that a fly? Is it dead!?

Man I an done

I am going to laugh instead.

You and I

I am hurt

Do you see it on my face

Or can you feel it when you enter into my space

You speak about my personal bubble

That it is making me a cripple

But was I whole when I entered here

Or are you still viewing me from the rear

Everyone has an opinion

Do this it worked for him

Do that it worked for her

I have a cousin

I have an aunt

Can my feelings be transferred in and out of me like a plant

You say that you are trying to help

Then stop treating me as a whelp

And who asked you anyways

It is because of your help my emotional state is in constant decay

But you won’t see

Because you are doing it to me

Telling others that we are happy

When you love stinks like a baby’s nappy

I am hurt

Do you see it on my face

Please take your time

Because all that awaits you is space.

Write a Ketek
One of my favorite authors, Brandon Sanderson, created a short poetry form called a ketek. It’s a short reflexive form of poetry in which every word is mirrored around a center word. The word forms can change, noun to adjective, future past, etc (ex: happy can turn into happiness, slept to sleeping or sleep). You can put in any punctuation but no added words that don’t mirror. Here’s an example from one of his books: “You, always about dreams. My soul weeps. Farewell weeping soul. My dreams about, always, you. “ So the challenge is write a ketek. It could be about whatever you want, just follow the rules.

Lost Soul

Sleeping, coma, in darkness and despair. Mine eyes has disappeared. Drowning Bitterly. Comatose sleep, despairing in the dark.

roses vs thorns
hey, hey.... so I was wondering why movies based on toxic relationships seems romantic to us. is it because we enjoy the thought of having fights and making up or are we drawn to it because these movies actually exposes what a real relationship is. what are your thoughts on. write in any form. be it poetry, prose, life experience. just have fun with it

Huh...

In the society we are living in

Nothing wrong is considered to be a sin

We are trying to normalize everything

So where do we draw the line for wrong and right?

Perhaps when someone gets injured in a fight ?

Or that person does not live to see the next morning light?

It might be entertaining when we are filming

But when does our moral compass kick in

So where do we draw the line for right and wrong?

Do we need to hear it in another bad love song?

Or perhaps on breaking news

Where they can only find the victims shoes

How do we choose

When to stop

And When to go

Is there a button?

We all need to know

Since when getting hit is being loved

And shouting profanity at someone is getting the problem solved

Or cheating on your partner is the only resolve

Then out the mouth is I Love You

When there is no response, why are we getting mad?

The other person has feelings too

Then again, some of us were taught we have to stick it out

Because that is what love is all about

Never knew love to be bitter and run red

With marks and bruises to the head and to the legs

When we watch the movies we are entertained

But in real life who are we entertaining?

We have nothing to gain

Going through this meaningless pain

If we knew what love is

I highly doubt we would be taking our cues from showbiz.

Run It Back

You know what they say....

An apple a day keeps the doctor away

But, the dentist comes out to play

Play on your gums

Like a drummer shredding the drum

So when the apple gets snared in your teeth

The flossing and drilling will make you kick your feet

No one will be saying, yo bro that's sweet

When the cavity can't handle any more treats

The toothache will hit you like a bus

Then you'll remember in God you trust

So run it back

An apple a day

Keeps the doctor away

Your IQ or your EQ ?

Which one will you use today.

1000 black lives a day are aborted - did they matter?
Poetry only.

Where To Start

It is said that the chicken came before the egg

But for this topic I don't know where to start

So I'll start here instead

What do we teach our children

At home and at school

Is there any substance in their educational learning

Or are we too busy trying to make them fit in and be cool

Are our homes broken?

Do we live behind white picket fence?

Or are we busy playing happy family

Leaving the children ignorant and dense

In this social world where everything looks glamorous and free

These are the tricks of the media and the TV

Who doesn't want to be a Cardi B or a Nicki Minaj

But the road to their success story is like a mirage

No one digs deep in these back stories, that's too much trouble

Get rich quick or die trying like 50 Cents that's the best hustle

We know the world we live in

There is a lot of racism and nepotism

There is a saying that Black don't crack

Well let me answer that

Black does crack when their communities don't work together

Black does crack when there are not enough resources for one other

Black does crack when the education system is whack

Same dusty old equipments using in the classrooms from 1900's way way back

Black does crack when one parent is in the home

What are they going to teach their child when they are still a child of their own

Black does crack when the system is none existing

It's on paper but there is no implementing

Black does crack when they are the minority but gets blamed as the majority

Black does crack when nothing is explained, but they are the first to get blamed

So the question was; 1000 black lives a day are aborted - did they matter?

When Black cracks it usually runs red

Red blood, leading to another one dead

1000 black lives a day are aborted,

This was a crack that took way too long to be reported

Did they matter?

Yes it did

No one wants to be scraped on the inside to kill a kid.

So where to start?

I really don't know

The system

Uncle Sam

The parents

School

Society

At Home?

Where Are The Pigs?

Millipede millipede, let me in!

Not by the hair on my very thick skin.

Then I will crawl, and I will scrawl, all over your face

I'll make your beauty mark look like a disgrace.

I am a millipede not a French bulldog.

I have an a hard exoskeleton and I live under a log.

You ugly bird need to know your place

You don't know what I am but want to place me on your dinner plate!

Wait until I caught you millipede then you will know who I am

I am not a Dr Seus !

And I am not your green eggs and ham!

Look man, just scram, get out of here.

I guest you didn't see that chicken hawk swooping near.

Then let me in!

Do I look like I have a chin?

"Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." Hebrews 11:1
Speak of your faith or lack of faith. How is faith different than hopes, wishes, dreams and goals?

Life

INTRO

There is a Great Book that has many authors and multiple genres

Sometimes you get the plot wrong but there is alway another story to explain that plot.

It has never been proven wrong. Rewritten yes , misinterpreted yes. Burnt yes. Use as a tool to mislead, monopolies and kill people yes.This Great Book is called the Bible.

That being said.....

FAITH.......

When a mother gets pregnant she Hopes that she can have a full term pregnancy

So she put her Faith in............?

She Wish that the child looks like .............?

She Dreams of a bright ............? for her child

And her Goals are to make sure they get ahead in ...........?

When a male lover, upon hearing the news of spouse pregnancy

He Hopes that his spouse does not have any complications during or after the pregnancy

Dreams of more........?

Wishes the child takes after ............?

Goals, hopes that his child marries the one they........?

CLOSING

Not everything can be seen in the world eg. the air we breathe. But because we use it and it carries out a function for our lungs and different parts of our body. We know that it is there. Can we see it? No. Is it there yes. So by Faith we breathe, we Hope the air keeps us alive, we Wish we can be it and our Goal is never to lose it.
