Today someone said a derogatory something to someone concerning some people like me.
And sometimes I gain the strength to ignore some ignorant people like him but for some reason, I almost said something that would have been somewhat crazy. And if I did, in some way and some how, he wound have found some crazy reason to keep me and some people like me ransom in his crazy stereotype box. This is why silence is sometimes the best answer for fools like him.
"Poets are all those who have the courage to exercise their imagination and their empathy to create alternative worlds that provide vantage points from which we can critique, indite, change and transform the world in which we live." - Dr. Cornel West

Your Fantasy
See the curve in her lower back,
The way those heels hug her feet,
The sway of her hourglass waist
You see her,
You glance
Across the room, across the way,
on the street
In your mind, on your thought
Her long silky legs
You could have looked closer
The words from her caramel lips,
A cry for help
But her thighs,
Exactly how you imagined them
Her chest wide open
Her breasts
Not her decree of desperation
So you came over
You said hi
She said yes
She is not easy
She is hurt
Though a lot of fun
On her back
On some bed, in some house
She keeps coming,
Just a little kiss but
She keeps calling,
Just a tender touch then
She keeps stalking
Just one night
Call her baby
Now her turn
with your baby
Only fantasy
Not abortion
A lifetime in sorrow
Always ready to die
Her cry for help
Now your fantasy
Now your turn
try again
look closer
A vicious cycle
A victim of the victimized

The Request
Help me not to see your face black man
evil, cruel, creature
help me
Not to hear you
beating her brown skin red,
turning her pink tongue blue
help me
white man
to know the good in you,
its gone now...
lost inside of her after you left
what was once green, now
un-nutured and growing
like a gangrene parasite
festering over questions
tumor over generations, spreading...
help me not to see you
your scarlet words are not love
your "golden" crack won't heal
they only poison her innocent mind
you don't take her pain away...
your "gifts" takes her family away!
you, yellow man
it is you,
a silent disease...
growing and
smothering her womanhood,
like a heart attack,
a stroke,
a cancer of the mind
quitely (emotionally),
unevenly,
spreading...
will somebody please,
rise up,
help her?

My First Love
Like my shadow in the night time,
He is with me
everywhere I go,
He shines on me,
He is my own, my moon, now I can see
so I softly embrace Him
gently...
He is with me everywhere I am...
He goes eagerly
When I run from my imperfections
He stays,
He's here
uprooting the foundations,
the seeds planted long ago
to keep me insane
Eventhough, I didn't want Him there,
when I'd rather laugh in my darkness,
He beams for me relent-
lessly
intercedes for me, unflichingly
He is with me, judiciously
religiously
He is for me,
see Him through me
He never leaves...

Growing up - E. Ethelbert Miller
the day my mother
threw away my comic books
and encouraged me to read the bible
was the day i gave up being
a superhero and started to think
of miracles
this is how i came to love you
like moses looking over his
shoulder before he left that
mountain
