Louisiana (A Poem)

Her name was Katrina

She was the one who seduced me

I let her into my heart

And she completely destroyed me

Poor Louisiana

Louisiana I’m sorry, but it’s true

I never meant to harm you

You’ve got me singing the Mississippi blues

So who’s going to save us

Now that we’re all alone

Our heart rate is lower

And we done lost our homes

I’m drowning now in your waters

Losing every last breath

Begging for mercy

Trying to pass god’s test

Thinking back now

The way things used to be

When your shoulders stood tall

And your head was as high as can be

The hunger is real

The thirst is hard to bare

You and I are suffering

While our brothers and sisters stare

Maybe they’re shocked and amazed

They probably never thought they’d see the day

The day when our love would crumble

And the juices of our passion sprayed

Poor Louisiana

Louisiana I’m sorry, but it’s true

I never meant to harm you

You’ve got me singing the Mississippi blues

Please forgive me

For I have sinned the greatest sin

Our world is in ruins now

I don’t know where to begin

I’m searching, searching, searching, searching for a way out

No matter what I do

Even covering up my ears

Won’t stop me from hearing our souls shout

So now I ask god what is this all about

He tells me son look me in my eyes

Put your hand in my hand

And I will show you the route

Poor Louisiana

Louisiana I’m sorry, but it’s true

I never meant to harm you

You’ve got me singing the Mississippi blues

Mystify (A Poem)

Look into my eyes, sweet, sweet, sweet surprise.

Equals sunrise to heat up the ties.

All that lies between your body and mine

Is a spark that will light up both of our spines

What’s the worst that can happen girl

Could we really change our minds?

Well in due time baby the scent of your love will lift me up high

We’ll it’s driving me crazy

Lately the things you do would classify

As so damn shady, but maybe you just love to mystify.

My senses are growing weary and that’s no lie

I need you to come and save me from the darkness of this lonely night

If I had it my way our dragons nor demons would ever fight

I can feel your grip gripping me tight choking robbing me of my life

I can hear you whispering wanting me to close my eyes

I can feel my self sinking deeper in the darkness of your inner strife

Slicing shivers up my spine with each kiss with your cold dagger knife.

Yeah, in due time the scent of your love will lift me up high.

Although I’ve already gone crazy

And the things you do are more then just shady

But maybe, you really do love to mystify

So I look into your eyes, sweet, sweet, sweet angel eyes

Equals the fire that will forgo my demise

Excommunicated by the once forgiving sunrise

No more sparks, no more lighting up or spines

Oh yes in due time you’ll be the one to blow my mind

If falling for you is crazy then I want to be crazy all the time

And who the hell am I to judge you or even classify

The things you do as shady cause baby I love it when you mystify!

My senses are growing weary and that’s no lie

I can feel your grip gripping me tight choking robbing me of my life

I can hear you whispering wanting me to close my eyes

I can feel my self sinking deeper in the darkness of your inner strife

Slicing shivers up my spine with each kiss with your cold dagger knife.

I need you to come and save me baby, baby and mystify!

I Surrender (A Poem)

No open wounds no broken hearts.

It’s you I swoon until we fall apart

To fall apart is to decay

Today is the day we must pray

Call upon an aggrandizement

To god upon our enemies

Backbiting us and eluding our privacy

Just a beginning that requires more then advocacy

My imperturbability to deal with thy throe

Has weakened me as if though

I can no longer breath the air of my god so

I surrender to your broken heart

Judgement (A Poem)

Call up on the heavens

The skies so pale

The sun shies away from it’s image

Innocence is entailed

Call up on the heavens brother

But will they hear our cries

They say we must stand up against our severance mother

But can we survive our own lies?

Father I beg of you to call up on the heavens

But will they even answer our call

Sister please slit your wrist and bleed out the blood of the Devil

Or suffer the disaster of us all

Call up on the heavens

I told her one day I will love everything I see

And everything I See is you

So tell me what can I do?

Call up on the heavens

For I bit off my nose to despite my face

And I don’t know what shall become of my fate

Seek The Truth

I don’t know why they want to play with my heart

They try to tear me apart, all the time

Girl you used to be a dime

Penniless though, in due time

I tried, thou shall not be denied

Your cries like bath water…

…washing up your lies

Shampoo your disguise

Brush the evil away from thy eyes

Awake only to find

What I wanted to forget from that moment of time

I was blind

Images too hard for my expensive glasses to define

But yet I tried…

Can we really change our minds?

Was the question of mine

Was it the question of yours?

Let the truth drip from thy pours.

I’m tired of fucking with whores

So let it be is what I am told

I’m not young, but I’m not old

I’m not wise but I’m not dumb

Although thou demise got me numb

So as I drop to my knees and try to learn from the historic youth

I ask god for help I as I attempt to seek the truth

With No Refrain

Some say you can hear the horns

The warning sounds that tell you you’re about to crash

You may even smell the smoke

As the wheels on your vehicle unlatch

So you wonder why the driver stays the course

Why so many drivers and passengers ended up like corpse

Along side the road flowers begin to look like ropes

Reminding you of the mistakes of those poor mopes

Hell we even speak of sending totes

Which are kin to modern day bail out plans

Which reminds me of the tale of that one big sinking boat

Yet somehow we fail and end up in no mans land

With no refrain

We keep on going

Pushing with every stride

With no refrain

Really never knowing

How we really hurt inside

With no refrain

We proceed blindly with out any kind of navigation

In a hurray we scurry with ever no patience

With no refrain

We feel the pain

We loose what we were told we’d gain

How can we work so hard to stay insane

How can we refuse the dry just to step into the rain

How can we stay the course with no refrain?

And now I’m supposed to put my trust in John McCain?

It takes little brain

To realize that we need change

And this is what we must do right now

With no refrain

Love Me (A Poem)

Yesterday I died

The news spread through the windy city

As I sat inside my shell I cried

For I thought I was not cute nor pretty

Yesterday I lied

Worthy I’m not, I told myself

It’s sad, I never really tried

I put my self esteem back on the shelf

Yesterday I lost my high

Drug of choice now underpowered by food

With thy fate I struggle day and night

Thy greedy soul hides that he knows what to do

Today I was alive

Awakened once again but yet still kind of weary

With only myself to confide

I scream so loud yet no body can hear me

I found out Today that I was never right

Worthy am I? I began to ponder

The journey of the plight is never polite

Self doubt is really what needs to be conquered

Today I plant the seed

Give thy self what I truly need

To hell what other’s may or may not believe

For the time is now for me to love me

Worthless (A Poem)

Stop telling me I’m worthless

I’m sick of those lies

Could it be that I’m just hopeless

Cause my mind just ain’t right

In reality all this time I’ve just been voiceless

Because I kept it inside

To hell with you, I’m worth it

This time I’ll stick with the fight

All those things you kept telling me

Kept killing me inside

No ears no hear not here tonight

I’ve had it with those lies

Damn right I’m worth it

I’ll shout it all through the night

And if the worth police come knocking

Hell yeah I’m a put up a fight

Stop telling me I’m worthless

Because the one who’s worthless is you

All this time I’ve chosen

To subject my self esteem down to you

But this time I’m worth it

So I must get up and fly

To all those who think that they are worthless

Silence those voices and open your eyes, because you’re worth it

Was It Really Me(A Poem)

Road blocks stop the progression of progress

But was it really me who just thought less?

Or was it food that devoured my stress?

That made me feel undressed when I was dressed

At best I’m just depressed unimpressed with the oppression of thy self

Thy wealth was measured by money and not health

Was it really me who locked thy self in a cell

Candy coated shell sent by hell

Who can tell the fact that I was trying to yell

Hell I didn’t even want to ring my own bell

Was it really me, my fault that I fell?

How can I tell when I can’t spell the word “love” with an L

Or courage with a C or worth with a W

Scared to look myself in a mirror and say “I love you”

Was it others in my life

Who brought gifts of strife

Cut my ambitions with a knife

Or was it me who just let them inside

Who just let myself die all the time saying “it’s alright”?

Who’s to blame for the self deterioration of my brain

Man I’m sick of playing the damn blame game

Was it me or was it them, Was it them or was it me

Who allowed myself to not be spiritually free?

The truth is…it WAS ME!

Starved (A Poem)

Hungry asleep

As we stare at our feet

What could you give me

That the ghosts of the past couldn’t bestow to me?

How low could we be

For us to relinquish the lead

Only to bleed

And watch the de-fertilization of our seed?

They claim the new breed

The one that we need

If only we drop to our knees

And worship with please

Then we may we see

The blind obviously

No longer we freeze because we now feel the heat.

Too hot in fact it might keep your ass off of your seat

Hungry asleep

As we stare at our feet

Begging thy father to forgive my brothers at large

We suffered this long…

…and this long we’ve starved.
