#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!


-Walks off stage-

#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?

#5: The Cinquain's Game

Paradise
Ideal, Serene
Yearn, Obtain, Cherish
Awe, Effervescence, Exultant, Zest
Utopian

#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
