#61: Mae's Triolet

The sun shall shine no more up North
For it has rested in the South
Unwelcomed clouds and rains come forth
The sun shall shine no more up North
Pain is in bliss and joy in drought
While peace cries and agony shouts
The sun shall shine no more up North
For it has rested in the South

#60: Etheree's Epidemic

Still,
I cry...
hurt, I'll die
bruised and ashamed
from unwanted pain
because of my love's chance
at her, I took one last glance
then reflected on our romance
I gave her everything I could give
and, in turn, she gave me one week to live

#59: Rogue's Rispetto

Heavy is this position to bear
And easy is the opposing route
Quietly calm I sit in the chair
Secretly yearning to fiercely shout

Over my shoulder, he laughs and jeers
At the attempts to cover my fears
And though this task is seemingly tough
With his life, I shall never give up

#58: A Dose of Minute Poetry

Fear has submerged my ambition
Stalled my mission
Buying back doubt
Without bailout

Forced to beat this solemness drum
By my lonesome
I dare to dream
Of sights unseen

Justice and peace formed by a King
As Mason sings
The time is now
To earn my crown

#57: For You, Sedoka!

For the bleeding eyes
Recognize the  vivid truth
Within few seconds

But an acute mind
Takes a couple of minutes
To believe a lie

#56: Another Side of Palindrome

Souls
Found are they
Destitute and lost
Living in peace
And fulfillment reached
Ignorance was ignored
Presence that was divine;
Guided light that came
Spontaneous and necessary
....He shall never change....

- Reflect-

....Change, never shall He....
Necessary and spontaneous
Came that light guided
Divine was that presence
Ignored was ignorance
Reached fulfillment
And peace in living
Destitute and lost,
They are found
Souls

#55: WK Kyrielle's Sonnet

As sunset creeps upon a dream
Gently speaking of what was seen
Something blows by with innocence:
That life shall never be silenced

Minds mustn't be led in day's night
Succumbing to a moment's trite
For with footprints that sand submits
That life shall never be silenced

Though drums no longer beat in sync
And times of joy are "on the brink"
No matter the length of distance
That life shall never be silenced

As sunset creeps upon a dream
That life shall never be silenced

#54: Pantoum's Tormented Situation

What can I do, when your lies are true
In this fantasy of a staged play?
Everything we had was all on you
But you seem to have thrown it away

In this fantasy of a staged play
I have scripted the ultimate scene
But you seem to have thrown it away
Because your actor's lines appear green

I have scripted the ultimate scene
(Propaganda has clouded your mind)
Because your actor's lines appear green
He has told you not to give me time

Propaganda has clouded your mind
What can I do, when your lies are true
He has told you not to give me time
(Everything we had was all on you)

#52: Welcome Back, Trimeric!

A new dawn has arrived
The time is now reflection
Upon aspects that changed
Which improved our connection

Laughing at that old reflection
Passing me down the halls
Propelled my pride's protection

From you, but my heart has changed
As it embraces who you are
Because before, it couldn't sustain

That seemingly frail connection
While today, nothing's the same
Tomorrow, we'll try for perfection

#51: The Trilogy's Final Epic (Part 1)

I must continue for I haven't reached my end.
Never once did I believe that it'll be this way.
As the men are marching towards me, I shall not be taken captive without a fight.
Kill me now or surrender to my might!

#50: Sestina's Tomorrow

An Arabian sunset and the Bohemian breeze
Soothes my poorly conditioned mind
Which has been affected by the pain
From the departure on that day
In which my life has pledged solitude
Never again to be fooled
 

For a wise man doesn't succumb to fools
As he wants no part of a winter's breeze
He'd rather be reduced to solitude
Then allow someone to seduce his mind
Wise's assistance on that day
Could've delayed the inevitable pain

Becoming an expert in woeful pain
I would once again be fooled
During the midst of Summer's day
Sometime between the heat and the breeze
Temporary dementia would contort my mind
Mistakingly leading me out solitude

So, I shall revert back to solitude
This place relieves me of pain
Allowing reason to protrude in my mind
To never again be fooled
It shall cool my mind as a breeze
Slowly learning lessons from that day

Regrets are thought about that day
When relaxing in solitude
Feeling the Bohemian's comforting breeze
Alleviates any threats of pain
Those of which attempt to fool
The current state of my mind

Despite the damage on my mind
The incurred on that day
I pledge to never again be fooled
Assisted by my solitude
I shall never again feel that pain
That overcame me as a breeze
 
The cool breeze felt by my mind
Allowed the pain to die on that day
As solitude vows never again to be fooled

#49: The Balance of Iambic's Pentameter

Am I chasing a ghost, without the cape?
Or have I succumb to man's preferred taste
This being may not appear brightly clear
But these two eyes shall never, from her, steer
In an Eastern bath, she would have arose
Gently drying off her Malaysian skin
To clothe in a silk Japanese plaid robe
Planning my and her day that we shall spend
Intelligence and a swift sharpened tongue
She shall very intricately possess
To those outsiders, she will be loving
But to me, will she consistently test
As God created Eve from Adam's bone
During a remarkable deathly nap
This lady will be a part of my mind
Until my arms around her will be wrapped

#48: A Ballad's End

You smile and I smile back at you
To be polite and respectful
But as the night falls, the heat comes
While we engage in the dreadful

A fire burns when I see you
From across that vast distant street
Knowing that should be me right there
Making that torn heart skip a beat

My time is when the sun will sleep
But our shared time is deceit
How can I enjoy you at night
But in the day be so discrete?

A year and a half this happened
My feelings cease to vary
These rendezvous cannot be right
Because my heart is quite wary

How can you treat him in this way?
I wouldn't appreciate it
But I am doing the same thing
Which, to me, makes it more legit

Our friends have not the slightest clue
As to the secret tryst we have
Though that lone mutual person's
Anxiety we must both salve

He has been victim for awhile
It's time to get him out the dark
Yes, it probably will hurt him
With love, he's a fish among sharks

I cannot take this anymore
These urges I have to append
Tomorrow, my brother will know
That I'm sleeping with his girlfriend

#46: The Cort's Lay

Eyes awaken as hours count down
To the time when I'm blessed to see you
Your smile always deems the day worth wild
But when you're sad, the day turns to blue
Your childlike banter creates a mood
That I, myself, happen to enjoy
And though you may possess signs of coy
I understand what you're going through

Respectable, you certainly are
Despite your age and temperment
To others you are necessary
But to me, you are effervescent
Never thought I'd praise your company
When I first encountered you that day
Later that night, I went home to pray
To thank Him for sending you to me

Dedication in art you deserve
Because you go above and beyond
No one can replace what you have built
And to me, I am just simply fond
So, thank you for everything you've done
And everything you plan to do
Much success in all your endeavors
But with yourself, please, always stay true

#45: A Mind's Rhyme

And then there were 4.....

Reasons why I do what I do
Baffling to those who don't have a clue
Wondering why their emotions have succumb to
Up and down phases like an addict who withdrew

And then there were 3.....

Ways in which you need to fall back
Understanding your role like a washed up quarterback
Before I unleash a treacherous attack
Against you and your crew...feminine like some lilacs

And then there were 2....

Entities that I respect
Never gave up...never did neglect
Only chastised to make me correct
Instilling in me commendable aspects

And then there was 1...

Person who endured it all
From the many successes to a couple of the falls
Grinding all day until the night calls
But not done because of the blessing's windfall

And then..there was him....

#44: His Classicism....

What makes thee beautiful?
Is it thy voluptuous lips
Or perfectly formed physique?
Or is it thine long flowing hair
That makes me..O, so, weak?
Thou beauty surpasses all the above
By one lone distinct aspect
No other can compare to
Thine intelligence, that is quite perfect
Thy voice demands concentration
Thy walk commands to be enthralled
And thine aura adds to the beauty
But thine mentality confirms it all

#43: An Ode's Full Circle

O, what a young naive love we share
One that is innocent and still fresh
To the world together we must dare
To jog the minds of pure love, refreshed
Not of momentary happiness
Or conditional satisfaction
But of something bestowed by Venus
On Mars, for vigorous reaction
Though this may be of love untested
A fantasy voyage says the lust
But by the Heavens, this love sculpted
And in that do we sincerely trust

#42: The Meditation of Idyll

Cool water eases my very soul
While laying in the fields of pleasure
I am often taken by spring's hold
Wisked away to delightful's treasure
The sustaining air breathes life anew
In this new found land of choice and hope
To a being in need of a clue
To increase his short, limited scope
These plains bring nothing but timeless joy
During moments where it truly lacks
I retreat to this place to deploy
All of the unwarranted setbacks....

#41: Blank Verse's Intentions

Beg for mercy, yes you shall...we all do
Time and time again because nature says
Forgiveness takes the heart as a thief's mind
During a night's quest over gold's fortune
Promoting kindness and thoughts of own sin
Understanding of transgressions shall reap
As a griot in Earth's bosom of man
Helps to heal and close spacious holes in souls
Influencing the outlook humans have
Choose wisely your path before you leap out
For doing so may show you your being

#40: An English Pindaric Ode

That pain wasn't like anything before
He would experience something much more
Thinking that they were more than just friends
The limb he stepped on would be his end
Sleeping at his house, she thought it was pure
But as she hung around, he was not sure
When morning arrived, he walked through the door
To see her in his clothes, with food to lure
He is taken by surprise, not sure what to think
She tells him when he's done, put the stuff in the sink
The next day comes as she prepares to leave
She hugs him bye and he starts to perceive
He calls her on the phone to thank her for the time
She tells him, "Your welcome, don't worry, anytime"
He begins to wonder why she was so loving
So he thinks there is something that she's cover'n
On the phone, he states that he never felt this way
She professes, "Then babe say what you have to say"
He says, "Ok. I will...I love you"
She says, "Yeah, I know. I love you too"
He says, "I love you more than just a friend, boo"
She says, "Sorry, but like that, I don't love you"

#38: Villanelle's Mercy

"Shhh...no one must know"
As he whispers in her ear
"It's a secret..don't let it go"

As he is showing no sorrow
For making her innocence disappear
"Shhh...no one must know"

He threatens  her not to show
Her mother her crying tears
"It's a secret...don't let it go"

As he becomes her ultimate foe
Originating her "men" fears
"Shhh...no one must know"

Incest nicknamed her bedfellow
On the floor, her blood smears
"It's a secret...don't let it go"

Her body, he would borrow
As she cries for help to appear
"Shhh...no one must know"
"It's a secret...don't let it go"

#37: Acrostic, Meet Name.....

Please be advised that this requires
An inordinate amount of humbleness
That will allow you to grow as a person
In some of the most challenging times
Even though you feel it may be hard to sustain
Not possessing this trait cause unnecessary stress
Courage is a necessity because without it
Every unfortunate situation will be magnified

#36: Van's Free (Curse) Verse

Those haters.....

What can you say about them?
How about that they're like a disease
Crippling people to their knees
Forcing them to shout "Oh please
Stop the torture and pain....."
Or are they more of a robust obstacle
Getting in the way
Each and every day
Trying to make a way
To force good to go away
From every aspect of you....
So.....
Are you strong enough
To keep being tough
When it gets rough
As in a trough?
Good question right?

Those haters.....

They pray on the weak minded
You must be wise
To avoid lies
In great disguise
Wanting your prize(s)
But they are like money
You really need more
To truly ensure
The status that you're
Currently in....
Because
The more haters there are
Means your a rising star
That's going very far
Soon needing a memoir
To dedicate your success to

Those haters......

#35: Her Romanticism.....

HA! The Great Ejetta,

How seductively wretched thy ways
Yet gorgeously attractive thine looks
The men, they stop to praise
But not I, for I am not hooked
My intelligence is far too superior
And my strength far too mighty
To fall for beauty so blindly
As the others who are inferior
Thou deceives with a sensual smile
And insinuates with an honest touch
But once they've been beguiled
They use thee as a crutch
Becoming victims of lackluster
These fools have rejected themselves
To be with an insidious lover
Who's taken their core, leaving their shells
I shall not be as the rest
Whom left their partner alone
I have no need to embark on a lustful quest
Because my perfect lady is at home

#34: The Deniable Irregular Ode

Heavy is my heart, as if death came 'round
And solemn is my soul which has no hope
My amazement has lost all its astound
Because that trusted tongue declares no scope
No direction or praise is rewarded
As often as it was use to before
My inspiration has been divorced me
Leaving my beloved canvass contorted
And my paintbrush to not paint anymore
Causing mine clear eyes to opaquely see

Once instilled with fervent motivation
As an au courant crusade under Christ
My pen needs severe verification
Because my light has succumb to a heist
Dimly lit, the weak candle tries to burn
Within my delicate tender spirit
It survives only by earnest thinking
In which it is adamantly returned
By minds in whom never did it orbit
But amongst stars in which it was resting

Once the wind against my wearying back
During the most humid, tiring days
There was no comforting excusive slack
Given as an outlet to stray away
Staying the rugged course was the lone route
Provided under this autonomy
No other options were eligible
To obtain rank in this prestigous clout
Which allowed me to produce so aptly
But without it, my work just seems banal

Where am I to look for direction now?
The standards that were set, cannot be matched
Reduced, I have become to simply sough
Remininscing on memories attached
Wishing that the source didn't disappear
Suddenly stupefying as it did
Which leaves me with no emotion but shock
Shock without a skillful pilot to steer
This lost soul who is sitting here amid
Thoughts of how to escape this writer's bloc

#33: The Ambition of Canzone

Those who have issues with company hear
And to myself shall I adhere advice
It is not of the topic's concise
But more of the subject's chosen venue
Therein lies no problem with candidness
But with regard to personal matters
All of which happen not to flatter
There has to be a strict line that debuts
If not, then ill feelings will soon ensue
As they are in this current date and time
With my life, your judgment needs not to chime
In.....unless I determine that it's due
So, those in this exact situation
State your views to improve your relations

#32: Cliff's Shape

I've completed many goals with success, I stress
Battle tested, coming out the best
But the struggle's far from over
From fulfillment, I must sober
To continue to push ambition
Sticking with the set mission
That I have developed in my youth
For me, that is the truth
The truth of non limitation
Pursuing desegregation
Between the mind, body and soul
Of persons who have gone cold
And numb to socio-economic woes
So, until these tasks are done
With success, I have not won.

#31: Sonnet's Envisage

Resting in my bed gently
I am awakened by the sound
Of lout soldiers in an army
Terrorizing the town
Beating victims maliciously
And setting homes ablaze
These cowards have awfully
Put mass torture on display
O, my abhorred dismay
I cannot fathom this brutality
I must begin to pray
Before this becomes my reality,
"O, God, today I bid my sins farewell
Because there's NO WAY that I can take Hell!"

#30: The Traditional Lyric

My Oh My
(What have we done)
My Oh My
(What have we done)
My Oh My
(Look what we’ve done)
My Oh My
(Look what we've done)


As I open the door
And walk the street
I can’t help what I see
And what’s looking at me

Unfortunate fame
From poverty
Causes much pain
It’s like death to me

The children are crying
It’s a sick disease
These doctors are lying
Someone help them please

To save the world
We start with ourselves
Look around you to see
Who needs some help
-Repeats 4x-

The animals’ home
There are no more
Just streets and mansions
No one can afford

The icecaps melting
The heat is intense
We must stop polluting
Or there’s no existence

So seek your neighbor
Tell your family and friends
Let’s band together
So there will be no end

To save the world
We start with ourselves
Look around you to see
Who needs some help
-Fades out-

#29: Alexandria's Baffling Burlesque

Out from the snow
And into the lights
When she stepped in the club
The mission ignites

Walking around
Hoping to see
A vision in sight
That would make her glee

They entertain her
As she pays them no mind
Eventually leaving
For the married man's time

He buys her a drink
As her cheeks are burning
Can't wait to get him out
Because her stomach is churning

They exchange numbers
As the club closes
He kisses her bye
Now her cheeks are roses

The next day she calls
Requesting time to chill
She knows it's wrong
But she loves the thrill

He gives her the run around
As she debates
If he's really worth it
And the perilous stakes

He decides to tell her
As his heart is in flux
To meet him at 6
Up the street at Starbucks

She meets him there
While enjoying the meal
She asks about his wife
And what's the deal?

He begans to talk
But his phone rings
He has to leave
So he gathers his things

She's hating the waiting
Her mind begins to roam
As he's pulling off
She's following him home

When she arrives at his house
There is a crack in the door
As she goes inside
She is very unsure

She sneaks down the halls
And sees someone she recalls
It is her best friend
With her man, and a ...(to be continued)

#28: Ghazal's Purpose

Never think that it can't happen to you
That's the reason why it happens to you

As an impoverish man living on the street
If you aren't wise, that can also be you

A naive woman dates a married man
Don't condemn because that can be you

The mentally retarded cannot tie his shoe
In 50 years, that can happen to you

A billionaire has money to share
With the right dreams, that can be you

Ma ismik wa Kayfa hal?
With enough lessons, speaking this will be you

No one really wants to hang around you
If only you were friendly, then they would flock to you

Need assistance on choosing a poem?
Then ask Will and he will tell you

#27: Summer's Black List

Oh wow, it's raining
You just left me here hanging
Trying to reason by explaining
How and why it happened that way
I really do want you to stay
But you turned your back and walked away
Because you believed him and not I
When I had a perfect alibi
Now, I'm here stuck asking why
The tables have turned on me
As fast as it did, we were happy
Now he picked you up and I'm lonely
Making this by far my worst tragedy.

#26: To The Honor Goes Epithalamium

For the stars have aligned
On this date and time
For the pair of you to become
Officially united as one

You sir, take her hand
And vow to lead as the man
Fulfilling all that's necessary
To ensure that she doesn't worry
Will promote positive reaction
To increase sustained satisfaction

You madam, please declare
That you and he must share
A bond that is commendable
In God's eyes, unbreakable
In man's view, unshakable
To any opposing force
That tries to knock you off course

So, those who are in support stand
To help me praise this woman and man
As they come together to be
Forever in holy matrimony

#25: The Faith of Rondeau

Hold on to faith, for it's not done
The doubts you have, we've all had some
As a lost boat in midnight's blue
His guiding light will lead you through
Trust and believe

During the times when you choose to run
He'll be there, urging you to come
But there is one thing you must do:
Hold on to faith

If it's the strength that you have none
And hopes and dreams you have shunned
There is a being that stays true
If you adhere, He will imbue
So stand tall; He has just begun
Hold on to faith

#24: Petrarchan's Prayer

O, horrible world of mine
Each day there is pain
For which I cannot regain
Strength to continue life's time
So, I shall end it here
But will my soul be at peace
No longer battling this beast
Forcing all my issues to disappear?
Or will it be worse than before
Causing me to scream
How I wish this was a dream
That I can awaken from to ignore?
Ah, this decision is too heavy to bear!
God, please, show me which choice to declare.

#23: An Italian Sonnet

Do I really love thee?
How would I know?
Would my heart tell me so
Or would my mind let it be?
With speech, there is no impair
And flesh, no dripping water
Future warrants no horror
Convenants do not scare
Thou has received attention
Idleness is tantamount
Thoughts have gained retention
From expectations that are surmount
And despite opaque vision
Love has registered its account

#22: Rhyme Royal's Enlightenment

People shouting loudly
As I walk through the crowd
Directing where I should be
And what wouldn't be allowed
But my ears have become shroud
My mind is not convinced
My body starts to wince

At their passionate hatred
And their persistent nature
Have they realized they've jaded
Those to whom I cater:
Friends who read the papers
And kin who watch the news
Tempting to change their views

About me and what's mine
They try to serve tainted food
To which they have declined
But I shall not be rude
I'll let their fame accrued
Sadly at my expense
Which is making no sense

I give blessings to people
They give heartache and pain
But to be just so frivol
Is freakishly insane
And needlessly inhumane
But I now understand
It's just the ways of man

#21: Kismet's Ballade

Barbershop clippers buzzing in the back
As the clients wait for a chair
In walks the siren as she attracts
All of the moaning and stares
While her aura causes others to swear
She throws them a couple of bones
But one seemed to have that instant flare
(Hindsight) She should've just him left alone

Wining and dining occurs shortly after
As the two get to know each other
He's starting to retire his bachelor
As she begins to become his lone lover
Days later, she's acting like his mother
Treating him as if he's not grown
He's treating her as if he doesn't love her
(Hindsight) She should've just left him alone

A year later, they are still together
The relationship has hit a quagmire
Thoughts say the ties should've been severed
Because she shows no more desire
And his feelings are simply unknown
With her love, she has misfired
(Hindsight) She should've just left him alone

Her demanor is seemingly acrid
And her nature she no longer condones
Because of the reverse that happened
(Hindsight) She should've just left him alone

#20: The First Letters of the Acrostic

Tears overwhelm when thinking of times
Help and assistance was at the drop of a dime
And thinking of days when sunshine was bleak
Never did they stray as I became weak
Keeping the faith and knowing the truth
Forced separation from my uncouth
Until the days have sought an end
Long lives this piece to cherish family and friends

#19: The Friendly Shakespearean

I'd never thought the day
When mine eyes would view
Such an enticing mirage miles away
That auspiciously came true
As water blesseth the earth
During the gravest of droughts
Thou has awaketh my mirth
That I'd so long gone without
In the past, they've hurt me
Left me blind and all alone
But with thee, now I can see
And no longer without a home
My love for thee is stronger than ever before
For thee and only thee, do I truly adore

#18: The Insane Quatrain

Casually eased into the house
While no eyes were awake
Nonchalant regarding rouse
As long as he could take

Sudden noises invokes fear
To those who aren't aware
Instantly causing tears
From her long bereaved glare

He goes to her threatening to kill
As she stares him in the eye
Her calmness makes him eerily ill
So he says that she must die

She lunges bravely at him
As they wrestle to the ground
Back and forth breaking limbs
Until a gunshot has sound

The father hops out the bed
To see what the noise could be
He sees the body and his daughter says,
"He shouldn't have threatened me".

#16: The Ubiquitous Narrative

Dear friend, friend dear
Are you wise enough to lend an ear?
I have this very serious situation
But I need your advice to assist my contemplation
I have a feeling that you're going to be cruel
But you know what? I'm willing to play by your rules
This situation involves a person I know
And whether I should or shouldn't let them go
I've known this person for quite awhile
And their personality has always been vile
But I didn't have a problem with it, until now
So, I want your opinion before anything goes down
Lately, they've just been crowding my space
Wanting to stay around, all up in my face
Our conversations aren't the same anymore
When I hear the phone ring, I just push ignore
I tried to let them know just how I feel
But for some reason, they don't think it's real
They walk around thinking everything is cool
But little do they know, they're kind of a fool
I care for this person......I truly do
And I really don't want this to be true
But I knew this problem from the start
The truth is, we're just growing apart
Now with all of this information being shed
Do you have any questions about what was said?
"Yes, ummmm, why are you asking me?"
Because of how perfectly blunt you can be
"Well then, I think you should be point blank"
So, you mean direct...... to be frank
"I think so...being direct should probably do"
Ok, in that case....the person is you

#15: The Inevitable Epitaph

Let him rest....
Don't cry; Don't shed a tear
For he is far but very near
He's lived his life longer than it appears
Currently going on with his heavenly years
Let him rest.....

#14: The Pacific Pastoral

Rock wants to feel the coolness of the waters
Tree yearns for her shade to be used
Breeze begs to be loved
Nature requests my company, so I shall oblige

Sun demands to lead the way
Cloud desires to be named
Moon glows when attention is paid
Nature requests my company, so I shall oblige

Star needs to be admired
Wolf screams to be heard
Owl relaxes during presence
Nature requests my company, so I shall oblige

#13: The Intense Dramatic Monologue

(Taking on the persona of Ahhamz Ozbetard, a fictional civil rights and community activist)

-Steps to the podium, awaiting the anxious crowd to settle-

HYPOCRITES!!
They are all hypocrites!!
For they want me do to right by them
but aren’t held for the death of him
They are hypocrites!!
I do not wish to celebrate their holidays
I will refuse to buy into their capitalistic ways
They do not look into the crimes
that happens amongst blacks all the time
Rather, they choose put on T.V.
the elites and their credit card miseries
Well, what about the cousin who got shot?
On the news, Kyron Horman took that slot.
Bob Johnson’s efforts in Haiti?
That got bumped for the asinine Alaskan lady
These people in control are mad
These people are in control sick
They do nothing but manipulate....deceive and trick
You need to get your logical skills together
We have to step to them more clever
Than what they are used to
You can NOT let them fool you
anymore than what they’ve already done
So, we must unite as one
I have devised a plan that needs
full cooperation in order to succeed

Step One calls for improvement of education
in order to correct this flawed nation
Children MUST attend school
Regardless of how strict the rules
are....they HAVE to pay attention
to the teacher in order to increase their dimension
to effectively be able to compete
against the likes of Ajaz Ahmed and Robin Li
I’m calling out the parents at home
to not leave your kids alone
You must listen to all of their cries
and clearly decipher between the lies
PUSH academic supremacy
As much as you PUSH athletic dexterity
Support them in everything they do
So in later years, they will support you
Teachers, on patience you must rely
for the next leader learns on the third try
Taxpayers, assist these educational institutions
and in time, you will get proper retribution
Lastly, I must say
Education does pave the way
to bring down this high society
and increase long-awaited propriety

Step Two demands the fathers
to do more than not bother
with the child or the family
It’s now time to acknowledge responsibility
that you had creating this being
that you have committed to not seeing
Because of the mother’s emotion abuse?
Please come up with another excuse
There is no acceptable reason
for you to be in and out like seasons
in these kids life
You are bringing nothing but strife
Think about your young daughters
being nothing but hoarders,
keeping their mind and sanity
until a random man proclaims candidly
“I want your body and nothing more”
Your little girl becomes a grown whore
Just think, if she had “Daddy’s rule”
she wouldn’t have been that other man’s tool
Now, about these young men
Who never had a dad in the beginnin’
They follow what celebrities “sample”
instead of a father’s examples
They secretly yearn for a dad to tell
them how to exactly to treat a female
and teach them other life situations
instead of facing gun and gang trepidations
There are way too many single mothers
whom after loving these brothers
are left to raise the offspring...
alone with no helpings
from their male counterparts
Some of whom don’t even have a heart
So, men please rescue these women
from these unfair conditions they’ve been put in
so they can witness what it’s like to be
in a more pacific family

For Step 3, it is REQUIRED
for the entire community to desire
to be united and strong
so we can be where we belong,
in this current state of affairs
So we must take on all that we can bear
If you are successful in an industry
then you need to come back to the community
Youth and adults need the assistance
to help ease any resistance
about goals they try to obtain
because, frankly, many may not have the brains
in order to accurately achieve
all in which they firmly believe
People, please stop acting dense
We need to stop all this violence
and prejudice between each other
and learn how to love one another
If your friend has found a new mate
there really is no reason to hate
No schemes or plots necessary
to make them become adversaries
If someone has something rude to say
there’s no need to take his life away
Just ascend yourself to a higher place
so you can avoid damaging his face
or his body....or his person
You don’t want the issues to worsen
You need to be more calm than before
After all, that’s what this speech is for

This concludes this simple method
in order for society to be corrected
Education, Patriarch, and Community
are essential basic necessities
to combat this lying demon
and to bring this state of dreamin’
into absolute existence
but there needs to be persistence
So, if you follow this strategic guideline
You will  find yourself to be more inclined
To become much better
Affecting minds than Willie Lynch’s letter!

#12: The Revision of the Elegy

She Didn't Know...

That morning when she said goodbye
And that infamous tear ran from her lonely eye
As she years for her husband to stay by her side

She Didn't Know...

That her present instantly became her past
And the memories are the only things to last
To cast the pain away from her current path

She Didn't Know...

That the moment that she let him go
To provide for a family as only he'd know
And to spread joy as Jehovah instructed so
To a woeful world so the blessings may grow

She Didn't Know...

That the next knock on the door would be
News of a wretched tragedy
Which inflicted immediate misery
To those who knew him personally

She Didn't Know...

That though her support system surrounds her like doves
Looking for dry land after "The Flood"
Ranging from the Heavenly Father from above
To an earthly family exuding nothing but love

She Didn't Know...

That the two most important men in her life
Are sheltered by love, protected from strife
Leaning on what they know is right
Infuses their altruism to get through the night

She Didn't Know...

That despite all the negative things
That this occurrence seemed to bring
There still remains reason to sing
Praises to the Almighty King

She Knows...

#11: The Horatian Ode

My Love,

Thine ways have stolen my heart
For which, I cannot regain
As a battered slave in the dark
Whom the master wishes to tame
Thou encompassed me in a rapture
By my own surprise
I shall not allow myself to be captured
But I shall not be subdued to lies
O, how I yearn for the forebearer to accept thee
Into HER arms, as a child
But what would thy fate in the end be
If thine reception is not mild?
Thoughts of thee in my head
As if struck by Cupid's spear
Thy words softly that were  said
Wills me to join thee, my dear
O, Why does thee hurt me this way?
Thine past has influenced me so
I am not quite ready to stay
But equally not eager to go
The feeling for thee burns as a flame
In the cold barren night
Since I've met thee, I've not been the same
O, spare me aspects that fright!
The others that fight for my time
Has not mine eyes viewed
As with you, my heart seems signed
But how am I to know this to be true?
They say this would never work
Are we really meant to be?
They say that danger will lurk
Ah! But alas, I shall wait to see.

#10: Tanka's Enemy

Visions of white lights
Flash before my weary eyes
As shrieks are uttered
From a distant opaque fog
But in vain, for I have gone

#9: The Two Varying Senryus

Turn your heart ice cold
To those who don't deserve you
You have become them

Dreams are like kayaks
In the Antarctic Seas
Are you obese?

#8: The Duties of Memoriam's Stanza

Strong during his time in the East
And wise beyond his young years
He has succumb to a life full of tears
Because he cannot handle this treacherous Beast

Fours years ago, the war was waged;
His hands infested with calluses
From the dreadfully stringent maliceness
That this battle has engraved

Upon his soul, which he cannot redeem
So he hails to the sky
Questioning how and why
Has he become entangled in this scheme

Then he is reminded of when he did bestow
His love upon his lady
And how they tryst daily
Now his answer lies within nine months ago

#7: Hurricane Terza (Rima)

I met her yesterday, sometime in the night
She was dressed so indistinctly that I had to know more
But ironically enough, my curiosity became my plight

When we first embraced, I was very unsure
Then she seduced me into dwelling in her domain
I fought but couldn't help it....quickly would I adore

The thought of being with her, previously, was insane
She was notorious for committing the most heinous crime
But once I was with her, I couldn't break the chain

How long was I with her? Biennially in time
Upon reflection......the worst years of my life
She had me so open, it seemed that I lost my mind

She made me do deeds for her in rife
Only to block me from the lucid things
That, once found out later, brought me strife

So, here I am now, wretched as old European Kings
Seeing her again would be a sore sight
Because of the pleasure and pain that she brings

The initial feelings I had for her did more than incite
But the way she treated me was dirty...it just wasn't right

# 6: The Slowly Densed Epigram

Embracing the spirit of Father's Day, perfectly 'tis
The time to acknowledge how important the man really is
For the woman is "known" to possess the heart and the brain
But what good are they...no man able to tame?

#4: The Carpe Diem's Chant

WAIT!
Life is the longest thing that you could ever embark upon
So don't allow yourself to go out like Van der Sloot
Wishing he had those 5 years of notorious anonymousness back
LIVE!
Your life to the fullest
Not just because of the Mayans
But because of the duty according to
KANT!
Who states that you have the obligation
To preserve your life and
Cultivate your talents which
GOD!
Has given you
Such as a brain and limbs
So, don't waste your
TIME!
Arguing over trivial matters
Or pissed at idiotic mannerisms
Rather.....use this period to
MEDITATE!
On the things that prohibit you
From obtaining your ultimate goals
And realizing your purpose in society
So that you can live the best life
POSSIBLE!

#3 The Serious Limmerick

Arizona's new law on immigrants
Contradicts one of the Amendments
Number Fourteen which states......no
Discrimination of race
So these bamas will still hop the fence

#2: Couplets

Perplexity causes misery
To those who know it personally

Searched gunshots and stab wounds are evidence
When found is no credible benevolence

Ignorance is bliss and rightfully so
When it comes to love's heart-felt woe

The Introduction of Haikus

A starving royal king
Cornucopia of food
The poor man dies
______________

A WAC goose is loose
A person has leaves in hand
The goose goes back home

______________

The commander strikes
A village and city burns
There goes his childhood

______________

The Pied Piper plays
All the people start to run
The police jails him
