Impresses Only An Imprint Placed
To breathe to eat to sit.
To wish and want,
Without a finger to lift...
Or desire that burns.
Impresses only an imprint placed,
On a lazy fat ass.

This You Could Not Tolerate
You asked me to put my foot down.
And so I did.
Then you left.
Only to say you expected me,
To lower my right foot.
And this you could not tolerate!

With Thoughts Of Feeling Insignificant
So many today sit,
With thoughts of feeling insignificant.
And for those who sit,
With thoughts like this...
Seek and usually get their validation.

More Than You Will Ever Know
You say I disgust you?
And I say.
I appreciate your ignorance,
More than you will ever know.
I regard you,
Almost.
Like a friend,
With benefits.

Extra Fingers To Point
'Why are those people standing in line so patiently.
What's going on? '
They've been allowed to trade in their excuses,
For extra fingers to point.

I Felt Tested
A squirrel threw a 'nut' at me.
It didn't want it.
Neither did I.
It was too overdressed.
And I am no longer impressed,
By deception.
I felt tested.

They Would Not Have Any Chance
If the man was not black...
They would not have any chance,
To regain from their losses!
But they don't know that.
They just know his skin is Black!

Just To Prove They Can Do It
They will do absolutely 'anything',
To discourage the ambitions of others.
Even bring themselves to ruin,
Just to prove they can do it to have done.

Worthy of the Taste
I do not waste time making 'nice'!
I seek to make 'me' better.
Hoping that ingredient alone...
Is worthy of the taste condoned,
Enjoyed and savored!

There Is Too Much to Appreciate
There is too much to appreciate.
And when one breaks away,
From having whims like children...
There is too much to appreciate,
To care who does not!
