Those People Talking About Me
Yes; I'm not perfect, I am loud, I am soft, I am messy, I get worked up easily, I'm perfectly rounded, But don't you dare say I'm fat!
Carol TownendPublished 2 months ago in PoetsBoys to Men
Don't you dare lay a finger on my boys They bring me unmitigated joy Their beautiful skin made of melanin Should be recognized as their gift Not a presumption of sin My nephews are not moving targets My sons are not points to be made Their lives are not soapbox rhetoric Their rights are nothing to degrade They are beautiful and strong They are being born and bred To be leaders in the world But they can't if they're dead Does their intelligence offend you? Are you threatened perchance? Do you truly believe, if denigrated, Not one will advance? We have a history of hatred heaped on us Inbreeding of jealousy, ignorance And if we were to level the playing field Do you think you would stand a chance? It's weak and just sad to attribute us all To stereotypes that were passed down From clouded judgments And minds that were small Check the facts- we erected civilization And who do you think literally built this nation? You can steal all our culture Our dreams deferred can evolve To be clear you should fear anyone With the will and resolve To effect real change in the world Changing minds, softening hearts And if there's any advice that I wish to impart It would be to steer clear; we're not going anywhere The time for our victory, it draws ever near
Imperfection
Some people have no drama, Their speeches are full of plenty grammar, So eloquent with no stammer, Naturally sweetened like a banana;
IMPERFECTION vol.3
Yeah, there's so much nonsense, Too many times tense, A faulty conscience, I make mistakes though, Not doing great though,
IMPERFECT {ii}
Some never stole any money, Admired millionaire Playboy or a bunny, The sky is always blue and sunny, Just don't expect that from me,

Though my lips have never known the soft comforts of yours A heaving feeling fills my lungs after the mention of your name

Beautiful Tragedy. You say you love me Unconditionally and true You say you want kids Maybe three or two A roof we can call ours

Bitter sweet mourning for the person I once knew The one so sure that the world would soon be at her feet. She lives in the corners of my mind
