Supremacist

I’m a supremacist
But not like black
Or white, female
or male.
I am a black,
White, female
And male
Supremacist.
I am also a Jewish,
Christian and Muslim
Supremacist.
Furthermore I am a heterosexual,
Homosexual and bisexual
Supremacist.
And let me not forget I am a Disabled,
Able body, young and old
Supremacist.
A Supremacist is a person who believes in
or promotes the supremacy of a particular
group.

Just Fooling Myself

I tell myself that I’m a great poet,
and people will listen because I have something to say.
But now I’m starting to wonder am I just fooling myself.
When I speak is anyone really listening or am I just fooling myself.
Are my words as meaningful as Keats, Poe or Angelou or am I just fooling myself.
Well, no matter if no one is listening or remembers my name I will never stop writing poetry.
Because if I tell myself I can live without poetry then I truly will be Just fooling myself

Time to say Goodbye

We once thought our two souls were destined to be one.
Then when that did not happen I promised you we'd always be friends,
But now that too has reached its end.
I can't real explain it.
And I know you want to know why.
Well, simple put it just time for us to say goodbye.
I wish you all the joy and happiness with the new love you found.
It is the true no matter how cliché that sounds.
Now, I drink this shot of whiskey to what was once you and I.
We are done and it is time to say goodbye.

Why do you Hate me

Why do you hate me;
is it the color of my skin
or the shape of my nose?

Why do you hate me;
is it the way I speak
or is it my clothes?

Why do you hate me;
is it because when it comes to dreams
all I seem like all I have is nightmares?

Why do you hate me;
is it because my life
is filled with despair?

I am black man who lives
in a country that claims
we all have an equal opportunity.

Words

Sticks and stones may break your bones,
but words will never hurt you.

Stupid, lazy, burden, cripple and helpless.
These are just a few of the words I
heard a mother say to a child.
And now, she sits there wondering
why her 35 year old child is not as out
going as I, and why her child seems afraid to even
try.

Well, the reason is as simple as words.

Great, smart, good, able and excellent.
These are the words I heard when I was child.

Yeah, sticks and stone do hurt you,
but so can words.

In This Moment

In life there comes a moment when all things are made clear, and my clarity is in this moment.
In this moment I know that I want to live the rest of my life beside you.
In this moment I know I want to start my own branch on my family tree with you.
In this moment I know that I love you.
So as I take your hand and gaze into your eyes I know that this moment is the right moment to ask you to be my wife.
Now, before you say yes think because if you do our life together forever begins
in this moment.

Before I Close my Eyes

Before I close my eyes to sleep the last sound I must hear is your voice saying I love you.
Before I close my eyes to sleep the last thing my lips must press up against is yours.
Before I close my eyes to sleep the last thing my eyes must gaze upon in yours.
Before I close my eyes to sleep the last touch I must feel is the warmth of your embrace.
I must do all these things before I close my eyes every night because tomorrow is not promise, and if tonight should be my last night I want it to end with you.

No Accuse

There is no accuse for a man to hit a woman.
He may say that how he was raised.
Or he may say it is the pressure of your financial situation.
But neither one of these reasons are an accuse.
He may even have you thinking it is your fault.
By saying it is your lack of support or the tone in which you talk.
Still no accuse.
Believe it or not he may even tell you it is because he loves you too much.
Well ladies, when a man love you his touch should be as gentle as a summer breeze not a fist.
Love is no accuse.

I Did Not Know

Son I am sorry for all the anguish you went through as a child.
But in my defense I did not know.

I did not know
about all your night that were filled with fear.

I did not know
that your smile was really a mask to hide your tears.

I did not know
that because of my words you were sometimes too afraid to even try.

I did not know
that my laughter made you cry.

I especially did not know
that in the place we called home
is where you felt most alone.

Please forgive me son.

In the Middle of a Crowd

Today I was in the middle of a crowd and that when I heard her. Her sweet voice filtered out all the cell phones with the different ringtones. All the voices of the people from a businessman making a million dollar deal to a toddler having a tantrum because his mom won't buy him a juice-box. Her voice even may the barking dogs bark mute and the birds chirping song silent and her voice was the only one my ears heard. In the middle of a crowd is where I wrote this poem because the lady's voice I heard was poetry.
