The Poet Awakens

Reggie Chapple


2/34

It was late summer night and I was walking home with this girl I had a

thing for, her name was Dawn. Shes a friend of mine; but I have this intense

attraction to her. And this attraction makes this more than awkward the desire

for someone so close can drive a person to jealousy and all kinds of irrational

thinking. The reason things never fell together between us is she was either

with someone or I was, we never had that open opportunity plus I believe

neither one of us wanted to mess up our friendship.

I was excited to be walking home with because this was my opportunity

to make this night a lasting impression in her mind and life. I jumped out in

front of her smiling as I walked backward. Dawn smiles at me for a split

second then she lowered her head and eyes to the ground, but the smile never

left her face. I stopped in front her to take in the view. The way she expressed

her shyness made everything about that moment beautiful. Just then I was

filled with this feeling of joy, I smile to myself and begin to walk alongside her

again.

As we continued to walk Dawn turns to me and says, It feels good

tonight. Whats funny is I jumped to the conclusion that she was talking

about the attraction between us, so I grab her hand and tell her, Yeah it does

feel good tonight. Dawn then smiles at me as she says to me, yeah I love

summer nights its perfect you can look up at the night sky without being

interrupted by a single chill. Just then I was hit with a small jolt of

embarrassment, but I quickly realized that I didnt really mess up. She was

still holding my hand thats when I saw my opening to. make this night perfect

for her, so I look at her and said, this night, this moment, you its all

beautiful.

Dawn then looks at me and says, What do you know of beauty,

outside of the superficial cultural standards? Just then I started thinking to

myself she want to go deep, so I tell her, Ill let you in on a little secret its

self-knowledge that allows us to see ourselves in a more complete picture. As

we begin to understand who we are we find self-acceptance, confidence and

above all love. If you can eliminate the one sided view of yourself youll be


3/34

able to fully see the beauty in yourself and in others. If you think about it we

find beauty in things we fixate our attention on. And if we look to the world to

validate our beauty we desire to have their attention fixated on us. So thing we

to see in ourselves all we need do is place our attention there, you can either

see yourself as something better or worse its all based on your knowledge of

yourself.

Dawn looks at me, smiles and says, I want to finish this conversation

can we go to back to your place to talk? Everything was falling into place I

put my hand out she grabs hold of it then I tell her, lets do it, we have only

time and each other.

Dawn and I proceeded to walk to my place continuing to talk on the

way. Dawn had asked me, What drove you to understand beauty? I hesitant

to answer, I was nervous I had never really told anyone why I found interest in

the subject of beauty. I began thinking about covering the story with a lie to

save my image, but I decided to tell her the truth. So I explained to her the best

I could, saying to her, well I was dealing with an image complex. I had

bouts with the man in the mirror, but it wasnt over it my physical appearance,

it was my understanding of myself. Growing up in third world America I

had nothing growing up, I use to compare my personal wealth to my material

wealth because the image of the people was a dollar sign. So I use to have

this, Im not enough because I dont have enough stigma. Also I wasnt like

the people I grew up around I wasnt a gangster but to fit I thought I had to

live a lie. I just wanted to be me, but I had to figure out what it meant to be my

own man. I didnt want to be a product of my environment, yet I didnt know

exactly what I wanted for myself, I lacked the confidence to do better because

I believed I couldnt do better than the nigga from the hood. I guess thats way

I travel a lot some may call it running I call it seeing what the world has out

there for me.

After telling her that I kind of feared her response, Dawn looks at me

and says, I wouldnt call it running there are a lot of people who conform

rather getting from underneath themselves. Everybody says their unique but


4/34

not everybody expresses that uniqueness, I think its because its easier to

follow than to lead a life of your own. I mean if you think about it youre one

in 6.9 billion every individual is. The entire universe is teeming with diversity I

think its only natural to feel different and it takes courage to be unique. So I

say who cares what others think see what the world has to offer you how else

would you know what you have to offer the world. I was impressed by the

response I smiled at her and took her words in as we arrived at my doorstep.

I turned to face her and asked, Are you ready to enter.


5/34

Welcome

Welcomes all before we get into it all I want to say my hello before the goodbye,

so heres my hi.It is here we will always meet it is here that you will find I.

Are you ready to enter the expressions of my mind as they have been spelled out

on pages?As my words prepare to touch your eyes, they shall touch you mind, as they

become felt in your inner spaces.From my soul to my voice I will stimulate your ear. Thoughts can affect the

world, so you may ask yourself what I have in mind for you to hear.

So Ill begin with a request I ask that youll allow me to enter psyche.Im asking you to welcome me in as I welcome you to the mind of me.

GenesisA life that fell not too far from the poet tree was gathered in a basket of good and

evil, but all he saw was people.

Not knowing who was what the people lived with distrust, so the poet didnt

have ample opportunities to open up.

And since these opportunities rarely opened up he went into his own zone inside

his self is the only place he could really call home.

Every else he had to pray for mercy, strength, and know how as a soldier without

his and a broken shield.

The fears of this battle had done a good job at breaking his will.

He was sitting alone one day with his mind at ease, not quite at peace butcomfortable none the least.

He recollected his life and words flowed through his experiences that give him

clarity to the things hes was seeing and being.

He began to speak to himself in poetic expression he was amazed at the way he

could give his word such direction.

His lack of faith in self soon burned as an illusion before his eye as he found that

burning desire deep inside.

His prudence made him aware that it is best to write this down so as not to

forget.

From his mind through his pen he put his soul in print.

Mundane cries

As a child I thought my imagination would never end.

That I could reach any height and that the world was a loving friend.

As I began to grow and the more I was taught to know, life began to show that

the systematic social schemes are more real than a childish dream.

I have been programmed to a preset of rights and wrongs.

I was Educated in a system that would raise me to the height of a pawn.

Get married have kids teach the same to your spawn.

Suddenly life lost all its magic, because if what is real in me is conformity.

Then all that is real in must be kept in dormancy.

All my free thoughts are but thoughts and open feelings but bird in the window,

for there are people in certain positions that tell me what I should know.

Im constantly reacting to life as I was taught to know it.

With all the mediocrity, and hypocrisy, I borrow from the past or run to the

future to move through it.

Living a life constantly running toward the future takes away every moments

serenity.

Working AgainstMyself

Okay I get know the trick is to put words to my feelings, so I guess Ill begin withthe wounds that need healing.

The truth is the child that didnt have anything grow up trapped in the mind state

I wasnt anything.

Most of my thoughts have no aim, it feels as if I gone insane.

A negative reputation now surrounds my very name, outside Im showing pride

inside Im fighting pain.

I find myself losing to my own head game and with everything I put myself

through who knows if trust for self-still remains.

Its clear that Im only defeating me, destroying all that I could be because I fell

into a hole on path thats incomplete.

I have written the inferior mental script now Im an actor in a shortcomings flick.

I have sabotaged my own success by not seeing through the things I attempted to

do.


7/34

Ive set goals then let them go because I treated them as something greater then

myself overwhelmed by my own fear looking for help.

And even though its help I may need the advice of others I dont heed.

My mistakes have gotten the best of me as these frustrations build they get

harder to ignore.

This is what I convinced myself that Im nothing more, that theres nothing more.

The Poet Awakens

Way down in Reggies deep a bonafide cat had awaken from his sleep.

He looked up at the light and said, I got a long way go, so he got dressed with

knowledge to impress and headed for the glow.

He brought with him vision of grandeur that Reggie had never seen.

He was the poet he tapped Reggie on the shoulder and told about the dream.

Hey kid the gift of life allows you to make history, so its time to express the soul

vividly. Know this the solidification of your potential comes with the

actualizations of your goals. So dont worry the bonafide become fortified as life

and time unfolds. All you have stay true this pursuit allow me to be in you in

everything we do. So shall we put our footprints in the sands of time?

Reggie was overwhelmed with a feeling of joy as mind expanded with

possibilities and his heart was filled with hope.He then says to The Poet, lets go, show me all I need to know.

The poet then says, my brother you are alive with a human mind come in here

we move beyond space and time. The imagination shows us possibilities still

exist, do you see yourself in your mind?

Reggie replied, Um, I guess maybe ahh I guess I dont really know Im

confused about my own self wow.

Then The Poet says, hey kid dont bring yourself down. Just imagine me rising

out of you but we have to start from the ground. Okay lets begin by explain the

train of thought you in prepare my brother to taught from within.


8/34


9/34

Karma will always regulate your decisions yet this is what gives us values and

lets us know love is given.

That is why love is the greatest commandment is to love others as you love

yourself because you are apart of it all.

It is love that raises man to a higher cause.

Giving man the ability to rise from underneath himself above himself to answer a

greater call.

Now this law comes into effect by way of thought.

Thought is a powerful phenomenon that manifests itself in more ways then you

thought.

Like for instance the very conditions that you all human beings live in is a result

of your thoughts.

Your physical, psychological, sociological, emotional and economic states are

manifest forms of thought.

All you have to do is think about it.

What you direct your thoughts to do shall create an effect.You choose the life you want to live and your will shall be given a way as the

mind reflects.

Your purpose in this life is significant if you simply make it so, all you need to do

is know, act, and grow.

Using your thoughts to your advantage is only smart so be smart about it and live

aware.

Aware of the fact that your decisions have effects here.

The pattern of ones thinking becomes constructed by mind to be played out in

your experience.

So I ask you my brother, with such life and power what are going to do with it?

You have to know what kind of impact your going to make and take action

because with or without your desired input life goes on.


10/34

Conscious or unconscious the process of creativity goes on.

The infinite creative activity in the universe assures that time will wait for no

man.

The mind stays active and matter stays in motion.

My brother you must recognize that you are a child of God as are all who second

this notion.

And for those who believe this wrong tell them creation goes on.

Never turn off your divine light you have creative powers by divine right.

Cosmic artist thats what you are a free mind in vast universe of stars.

Use your power of creation to dream of new beginnings.

Will your thoughts to design a way execute it and see it through to the ending.

And then begin again because creation goes on my friend.

Direct your creative power and get what you want for yourself.

You must know what you do be sure of what you want try not to draw in

anything else.

Surround yourself with thoughts of success and content to further solidify your

faith.

This will add to you confidence and mental strength.This way you become inspired to do greater things.

As you draw in the life that uplifts your being.

As a poet you will always draw in the greatest beauty because to give it to the

world is your duty.

This way you may uplift others.

This cant be accomplished if you are thinking negative.

They manifest the conditions for failure thats not why we started this.

Do not fall from self -defeat or sabotage.

You are a child of God do math it is the positive rises above.

Duh.

The negative mental attitudes and counter productive behavior hinders your

potential.


11/34

Looking up is essential.

Break the barrier of your limitations and go beyond.

You have been given a power to fulfill this mission for greatness you have

embarked upon.

So use it.

Now strength is acquire by first having a positive mind state.

So as to assure youll obtain the right mental attitude to create.

Tell yourself you are power get full of yourself and become powerful.

Draw upon the strength of the limitless and use it for your advantage.

Now with poets your greatest strength is, understanding.

Your ability to communicate with others must be outstanding for successful

inward planting.

So fill yourself with the power you desire and use it to obtain the life you wish to

acquire.

First of you have build your I tell yourself you are The Poet and as such your

words we be among the most powerful words ever quoted. Love yourself believe

in your abilities you can truly can be all can be. All you have do my brother is see,

see who are.M

y brother youre a creator, you are greater the stars. Look insidenext time you look up see that you are enough. Life is truly what you make of so

what are you creating, and dont sit around debating. You have to know what you

want and believe you have it you know something you always wanted. Cant you

see it now only you can keep you down? But Im here to help pick you up off the

ground, come on my brother we outer limits bound.

Full of excitement Reggie shouts out what do I have to do.

The Poet replied die you have to kill the old you. You let go of your present idea

of yourself to be re born into something else. Are you ready to die, are you ready

say goodbye?

Reggie: I think so?

The Poet: If you think so then do so. I want you to create a poem for the funeral

sign yourself off my brother.


12/34

Reggie: With pleasure I place in this shoe box the memory of who I used to be.

Goodbye former me. I do this so that I may be free to be whoever I want to be.

Just know you will always have a place in my heart it was our experience that

breed the art but I no longer dread the start that is why we must part. Dont

worry Ill never forget where I came from. That is why I must go so their can be a

from. So I bury this box in my past I feel kind of sad because he was all I thought I

had. Rest in peace.

The Poet: Hey now youre getting it I love it but a little wisdom to yeah it anit

this easy. Old habits die hard listen and believe me. Youre not out the gate yet

but the powers in the steps. There will be time when want to give up thats when

you look inside and get up. Stay diligent and patient then youll see what

characters made of. Keep your focus through the obstacle because when its all

said and done you can say you have won. So stay on your toes it was the way you

were meant to move and remember giving in to fear is the only why you lose.

The Poet: Now its time to give you the powers of the poet. But first let us give

thank to those who have come before us the mothers, fathers, shamans, and

healers. The young man who sees a girl mourning and wants to bring joy to her.

I speak of the poets, prophets, philosophers, and preachers. To the naturalist, thepsychologist and teachers. We give thanks to the little boy in the ghetto whose

fathers in prison, and the father in prison spilling his soul on paper for answers.

We are grateful for the writers, musicians, and dancers. We will never forget the

lovers, the heart broken, and the shy romancer. Just as reality was created from

itself, so too do you use this power to create your individual life from yourself.

Every human being goes through the same things.

Different story lines but its all the same life that belongs to the unseen.

So know that everything you achieve as a poet you have achieved for another.

Thats how you become a keeper of thy brothers.

Give the power to the people help make the playing field equal.

Humanity doesnt need another peace song humanity needs to recognize Gods

own.


13/34

So thank you humanity for giving life to the word. And most of all thank you God

for our gift of the world a world in which man may create so it is to you we give

praise.

The Poet: Okay lets get to the business at hand, I want to see you put live into

that hand and pen.

It is your turn to speak to the world of men.

To be honest Im here to entertain so lets dive deeper into the right hemisphere

of my brain.

As I stare off into space my mind paints me a scene as my imagination turns my

day into dream, now everything is not what it seems. Yes here is nothing as it

seems come lets turn our day a dream.

Death of the Dreamer

In a world of broken dreams rarely what we souly desire is ever seen.

Shadows of expectations shy us from the true meaning of faith, as the heart cries

in fear with faint hopes of a better day.

Imagination and experience is what awakens our sleeping beauty.

We allow judgments to weaken our courage as we hold on to the reality of losing.

That ignorance of rejecting the creator within brings forth the conformed and

unsatisfied.

The lost moving in circles due to blind eyes, running into each other with

reaching hands yet with fingers pointing as they extend blame for their

miserable lives.

The power of awakening is within let us reach up to hold the light.

Luminous beings move pass the ignorance of the dark give life to the dream and

choose the creative spark.


14/34

Birth of a Star

Just as hydrogen & helium gas break up into smaller clouds, collapsing under

their own gravity.

Through my mind I see I through multitude of possibilities, as I choose who Im

to become In the face of reality.

The closer I come to deciding what Im going to be just as the clouds contract so

to do these possibilities of me.

Just as the atoms collide with each other within the cloud, so too do my desires

collide until my decision is sound.

And just as nuclear fusion my dreams & reality come together to become a

greater creation.

Just as the conversion of hydrogen into more helium, I must invest more of my

energy into my goal.

As the pressure rises there is nothing left except, a star to behold.

Suffering in Love

I gave her my highest love and received my greatest fear.

Because now I am wondering will she disappear.

What I found I couldnt afford to lose.As her departing footsteps gives me rhythmic blues.

My jealousy slowly grows the more I see she is the one.

Because her smile is the reason I wakeup in the morning she defeats the sun.

My anger swells every time she tries to achieve space.

Because my heart pounds every time I see her face.

So I change and rearrange my whole plan, to make sure she finds all she needs in

me, so she doesn't look for it another man.

I step into a bigger reality I could lose her at any second.

So I withdraw and act like I don't worship her presence.

So I try to find safety nets girls I can consider next.

All along I know it's only sex.

If my love knew I was doing she'd curse my very breathe.

Trapped in my own fear I start to lose sight of whats real.


15/34

And now I start to blame her for all that's insecure.

I now create space and wait until the day; she shows me I can't be replaced.

As time passes by I build my ego and make her and I believe that she has the

most to lose. Convincing myself that it's her fault for what I'm going through.

It's over now because what were once smiles on a sunny day have now become

rainy days full of tears.

I lost my greatest love to my darkness fear to my greatest fear, all because I

never kept my intentions clear.

Rise

Rise and shine sunbird see the day as pure as the blue sky. Step outside and greet

the world as the creator self with beautiful golden smile. See that the darkness

cannot hide the light only manipulate its glow, so fly free above it all to let the

Universe know.

Discontent

We are the beings that change and grow, for the pursuit of fulfillment and

happiness.

And it is what is polar to this pursuit that brings use fear, pain and madness.

M

y true enemy is that negative inner me, reminding me that any belief can bedenied and any decisions can bring confliction.

Lost in a battle confused if my decisions are supposed to be based on logic or

fantasy.

Why is that no matter what decision I choose, I look to past experiences for joy

and agony?

Why can't live liberated? Why do I have to seek the salvation of another and

imitate it?

Mirrors in the Hall

As I walk into this hall at the other end is a bright light.

But along the path are mirrors of a perceptional life.

The mirror reflects me through my every thought.

Everything from the sublime to the extreme I should nots.


16/34

I soon become captivated by the mirror's tricks.

The more I put myself into it, the more of myself I forget.

Now I am torn between

Love and fear

Laughter and tears

Darkness and light

Death and life

Pleasure and pain

The loss and the gain

Virtues and sin

The beginning and the end.

Dazed and confused Im no longer moving down my path.

Stuck in a self-reflective mind game, manifested by the mirror's trap.

Beautiful Dawn

My love you I have not forgot.

I see you in my thoughts.

I smile to myself even now.As I remember your smile.

One of my favorite things in this life is a beautiful dawn.

So raise your heart and face as the sun and smile with joy my beautiful dawn.

WhyMost She Feel Blue?

All that she ever lived for was love it's her only urge, the human embodiment of a

beautiful dove.

She has no peace of mind, because she looks for her pieces blind.

Reaching for the world but, unaware to her causes underline.

Her true addiction is pleasure, so she feels her destiny is pain.

So to her happiness and suffering goes by the same name.

Any man, women, or child could see the angel in her smile.


17/34

But just as a flower is unaware of is unaware of reflection, she too does not know

the extent of her perfection.

She was once open to the world, until certain weights closed the door.

Trapped in her own obsessions all she wants is more.

Searching in the dark for what she already has.

Trying to hold on til' the day she'll finds that Love at last.

This Is Hell

Hell is the acceptance of fear, the suffering of a scattered consciousness a mind

insecure.

It is the state of loathing; this is the pain of the heart closing.

It is the losing of self, the agony of lacking help.

It is the blindness of the heart and a mind forever in the dark.

Hell perceives love as an insignificant thing.

Hell is the troubled spiritual state that resides inside every human being.

The Land of Shadows

I come from the land of the black Sun and the red Moon.

Where no matter what the path the ultimate thought is will be dead soon.

Where Ignorance andC

ondition blinds us from the True meaning of Love,Equality, and Freedom.

We grow jealous and envy the free birds as we watch them leaving.

Surely they are not greater than "I", so it's their Ego that needs depleting.

We feed our Ego's with worldly possessions and define ourselves through power

it's our only obsession.

In the dark days we seek our prey and attack in the bloody nights.

And it is for Power we will fight until we stand in our Personal Light.

Plugging in the SkyWandering around wondering rather or not I have open eyes

On my journey in the dark in search of a power source to plug in the sky, so that I

may look up and look toward a new day in this old world.


18/34

Race Interrupted

They came they saw, divided and conquered.

The value of our people has been erased and rewritten by a white wash author.

Our culture was no longer fostered as our sense of self became altered.

Europeans enslaved us took control of our land, stole our mothers resource and

the glory of the African.

They crippled our population and progress by taking large numbers of men.

They created a domino effect of problems that we still face because if we truly

look at the position of our race, we would see we had to fight to move forward

with the ground falling its not hard to see why the condition of our people is

downtrodden

Because even though we got off those plantations we still had to fight racial

discrimination

We had fight to be considered equal and won, but the damage of mental slavery

had already been done.

And if we look to the land of our people we see that the Europeans have only

further embedded with in our heart & mind the face of evil.

As I look at the world through these black eyes I cant help but see humanitys

black eye.And thats why I refuse to let these dark truths become covered by white lies.

For we were the people kissed by the sun so that the flesh of God my carry on.

My Odd Little Skit

Hello Im Doctor Lyric and I come to heal the spirit with words that relieve the

sorrow so here take this and call me tomorrow.

Hows everybody out there doing tonight, you guys feeling all right?

Bass Player: So what we gone do for the people tonight

Me: Were going to give them words to make them smile, say a little to lift your

hearts for awhile.

Bass Player: So you mean we gone talk about beauty love and sex.

Me: Huh Ha-ha yeah and no I was thinking wed wait until later to talk about

sex.


19/34

Bass Player: What sex doesnt make people smile

Me: Yeah sex makes people smile but I dont think we should go there right now.

Bass Player: So where we going with it

Me: I was thinking of doing something like this.

I want to tell the people that the best way to have a better day is simply play and

create everything that you do.

What the use of playing this game of life if cant see that your cards are blank and

you see that crayon in your pocket.

Bass Player: Stop! Stop it really what was that. You cant be serious.

Me: What are doing? I cant be serious you cant serious how are you going to just

cut me off from what I m doing.

Bass Player: I didnt find it amusing.

Me: Right

Bass Player: Mind if I take the mic.

Me: No go right ahead be my guess.

Bass Player: If you want to get the people to smile just tell them this. Everybody

think about yourself and smile if you cant do that, its probably because you let a

few thoughts take the place of your happiness. So think about what makes you

happy, do what makes you happy. And happiness is what you make of it all you

have to do is know how to have a good time. The abundance in life comes whenyou see you have a lot to live for so smile. Is that what you wanted to say?

Me: Yeah but not in that way. That wasnt even a poem.

Dr. Lyric: Something new umm excuses me I forgot something

Patient: But Doctor what do want me do?

Dr. Lyric: Try love and laughter they cost nothing.

One of the Hardest Things

Rachel was sitting at her front door heart sore, feeling as if she lost it all. And

like an autumn leaf she could do nothing except break apart and fall. After her a

private moment of mourning Rachel got up to get it together before her daughter

came home from school. She had to find the strength to face her baby girl and

break the news. Her daughter came home to find her mother at the kitchen

table sitting alone. Denise saw that her mother was grieving, so she asked,

"What's wrong?"Rachel said to her, "baby sit down I have something important

to tell you."As Denise sat down they locked eyes then the moment became

harder to bear through. Rachel fought to get the words out as a sorrow weight

them down. She closed her eyes as if to look the courage to utter the sounds.

She then took a deep breath as if to release the emotional barrier on her voice.

Rachel then grabbed Denise's hand with her will power holding her heart up

with a hoist. She tells Denise, "Honey your father's not coming home."

Shes Gone

She say it's all for the best, then tell me why it feels like the world just collapsed

in my chest. My emotions are weighting down on my words making them hard to

express. One moment she's the one then the next she's the ex. I have beendriven into the madness of fighting sadness, once again my heart knows pain as

it gets heavy & tight. I'm wide-awake and insecure thinking throughout the

night. Because the thought & feeling of being her mistake weights heavy. As

look for the strength to stay steady and accept she's a part of pass; I'm losing it

because I lost someone I never really had.

Alpha Beta GammaFrom a singularity of infinite possibilities, infinite heat allowed the singularity to

explode & expand.

As the universe began expanding and cooling particles and waves dominatedspace as the quarky universe advanced.

What could be seen as the first cupid, strong nuclear force brought together

subatomic particles to produce the nuclei of heavy hydrogen atoms.

From there helium, lithium, and beryllium became phenomena as orders begin to

arise out of the random.

No longer could the electrons & nuclei resist the electromagnetism.

Forming atoms as the expansion & cooling continued its rhythm.

As gravity pulled matter out of regions causing them to slightly rotate collapsingregions got smaller & spun faster.

The smaller, faster spinning regions became galaxies, as the universes evolving

beauty belongs to the here after.

As galaxies stabilized the hydrogen and helium gases inside the broke up intocluster clouds creating stars.

As massive stars collapse in their center creating black holes, as the outer

regions of the super nova brings the next generation of stars.

The gas clouds from the explosion spread out to form planets which orbits a starlike our sun, within its solar system is the planet we live on.

Sending Out a Light String

As I spoke to her from a distance I understood the meaning of so close yet so far.

It seems as if the only way I was going to feel her touch was if it was written in

the stars.

Yearning for a biological chemistry my heart continues to find the words to reach

out to her.

Attached to the pass hoping this bond will bring us together again in the future.

I long for the moment when we can renew me and you.

Until then my friend I'll shorten my alphabets because I'll be missing U.


22/34

One of a Kind

Never have I met a girl like you, when I tell of your tales I find myself questioning

the truth.

One of Kind a Queen of Hearts, with a pack of crayons to make the hand you was

dealt your own work of art.

A beautiful rainbow you are like the perfection of the sun & the rain as the meet.

In my time I doubt and hope to never find another so unique.

Stay lovely love.

Putting Together Words to a Puzzle

As the precision of my words becomes closer to the truth they have profound

affects.

That is why I remain dedicated to the enhancement of my understanding of life, I

and how we connect.

MadMen

As we continue to move in our mad ways with no change we still see terrorism

religious and government corruption.

We live in aM.A.D age, as nations are capable ofMutual Assured Destruction.

Theres conflict in the motherland within the Holy Fathers land.Love lost like the very lives of our fellow men.

The pain, the cruelty, drugs and weapons the governments cant control.

Its hunger in the world yet the population continues to grow.

The beautiful act of creating life has been stained by rape, prostitution, and the

epidemic of STDs.

Crime is committed everyday tell me what is the face humanity that you see.

We continued to breed and breath our hatred into the future; wed rather see life

as bitch rather then become her suitor.

So we still ignore what the conscience has to tutor, thats why we see fewer

supermen and more Lex Luthers.

It is common knowledge that man has only evolved his jungle even though we

try to walk in the divine inside we still stumble.


23/34

Because at the end of the day predator continues to seek prey, and master will

seek puppet; dominance humankind loves it.

We are closer to the beast then what we care to admit and the temptation of

power is hard to resist and as long as those powers are misdirected the hard

times shall persist.

Intoxicated In You

She is my herb and my wine, I feel her in my blood as the needle in my as the line.

When she touches my tongue she gets me Lifted in the Sky with Diamonds.

When Im with we her in out in our own zone with no track of timing.

She gives me pleasure out this world she is pure ecstasy.

On this trip of my manifesting mind shes right there next to me.

I cant ignore this girl she gives me the strength to take on the world.

But as my tolerance builds will I become a fiend and if so I wonder how shed feel

about creating a junkie.

Baby nobody can hold my soul like you do its like you the only one who loves

me.

I dread the moments when Im trying to convince myself this is the last time

because when the comes time Im not prepared for what to do because Im

intoxicated in you.

Off Topic

Typical me I am absent of topic I wonder if this means I lost it.

I wonder if this means the end of my dream and I will make no further progress.

So were do I go from here what shall I become.

I know I could play the drums.

Maybe I ll start a band and see how good I make my favorite music genres blend.

I can start a magazine to give an outlet to show the world the there light within.

I not original but I call tally that to human creativity.

Everybody needs a doctor and at times the arts is remedy.

So as long as I hold to my love for creation I shall rise.

Because it is not awaits me what I create that defines my life.


24/34

The Super Power

We the people if untied under a common cause are a GREAT POWER.

The strength of the people is the super power and our desire to love one another

is the light in our darkest hour.

Because through all conflict we still have many who will not let their brother

down.

We will reach out to lift up mind, body, and soul making smiles out frowns.

A body of people will fall without its heroes who are willing to sacrifices

themselves for the greater good of their people.

We have great minds that encourage the growth of the group.

Know that together we strong and the Unification of Humanity is here to recruit.

U of H here we take care of our own.

The Ghost and the Machine

The human body is an entity not an identity an organic machine made of parts

that represent a physical whole.

Ill begin with the skeletal frame, the supportive structure of the body.

It outlines the shape, keeps the organs incased and has a center of gravity.

As the tissue makes up the muscles that make up the organs we get the image of

flesh.The flesh has the ability to produce force at will and exert it over an extended

period, yet without the will the body shall remain at rest.

Incased in the vertebral canal is the spinal cord that stems to the brain.

The nervous system maps out the nerves of the entire frame.

A nerve transmits stimuli from the CNS to the body& from the body to the CNS.

Cranial nerves belong to the functions of the cranium & brain giving us facial

sensory & movement this is where are I-ness exist.

Spinal nerves supply the trunk, limbs, & muscles.

The plexus is a network of nerves & blood vessels

Veins carry blood into the heart as arties carry the blood away.

The motor neuron initiates an active connection with effectors tissue contacting

with end plates this is how we sway.

All that is left to be seen is the ghost in the machine.


25/34

Parts assembled to maintain a vessel, while I observe from behind the face

where my thoughts constantly echo.

I got a world at my feet, so I can reach for the sky and actualize all I can be.

So its time to break loose and breakout with this breakthrough I face now.

If my life is to say something it must have a message.

What impression shall I leave in this world how shall I effect it.

As I stare in the mirror into my own eyes, I prepare to give definition to my own

I.

A Philosopher Stoned

What awaits us around realitys turns, who know?

Uncertainty is what truly troubles the soul.

It grips us with fear and distrust and without that trust we find doubt.

And this doubt draws our insecurities out.

This in turn weakens our decision-making causing our highest choice to be held

within.

It is at this point we start to see the madness a raise from men.

Doubt drives to see potential loss and failure.

There is no concrete evidence most of the time it is merely imagined curse on

their endeavors.Now people I could be totally wrong please keep in mind the philosophers

stoned.

On Second Thought

Every time she smiles she I will use the cleshay it brightens up my day.

As I die all I want to see is her face.

But wait what if doesnt work out and I meet someone else.

Will her smile compare will I be with because I love or will I be with her because

shes there?

I really love my girl but what will happen if we have had to split in this world.

I wonder if wed be friends or is will just be the end?

I feel she knows me like no other; I couldnt stand the sight of her with another.

So the friend things out the window.


26/34

What if we split by me making her a widow?

The pain to know her pain comes from the idea she will never she me again is too

much to bear; so rather then dive into that despair lets start to think clear.

I cant let her have that power over me, so Im have to stay stronger then our love

because I need to feel the weakness of longing for my love.

Something less

Reaching toward the super ego but afraid that Ill be torn down by the people.

What Black Power Has Done

I write this piece to remind me of what my people had to go through in this

nation.

From the plantations to segregation to modern discrimination we have been

persistent in our liberation.

The road those before me paved is one of a legacy built on the correction of

injustice.

We said we shall overcome and we did by giving the identity of human

substance.

Those who came before fought for the rights of every man so that we may all live

free in what we taught was a free land.Now I see the soul of the brother man that was hidden in every man.

As we have weaved ourselves in the fabric of America and the world at large.

Those who came before me made it clear you can never silence a voice such as

ours.

So to my people when youre given that inch take yard.

Simply put if we not human then our people come from beyond the stars.

But lets tell the truth man genetic roots starts with ours.

I want to say black is beautiful although we got a long way to go we going.

Before I go I just want to tell my people to keep growing.


27/34

Broken

The laughters gone as we sit next to each other in silence

We used to long for each others touch but now we keep our distance because we

came inches to getting violent.

I look at and wonder whats running through her mind.

I know she knows its getting harder to fix us each time.

I told I never hurt her now Im thinking of ways to stop her tears.

I know this is a two way street so my guilt doesnt run deep what hurts the most

is the one I love finds disgust in me.

Its hard for me to look into the eyes I once adored the pain in both our eyes

show us together we have nothing else to look for.

We tired to work it out but our union couldnt come to an agreement.

I minus well get prepared for the lock out because I know that Im leaving.

A Little Something on Love

The art of the heart gives us a beauty seen through young love, romance and

heartache as well.

We all know the loss of a union believed to be made in heaven can through us

into a personal hell.

The quest for true love is one of mans greatest journeys.Because wed rather be soothed in pleasure than to live for its longing.

Love the art of the heart something so divine it cant be fully defined.

Its something thats truly illogical to the rational mind, yet it means more to us

then our own time.

I Love Trees

As I gaze upon the diversity of the trees I stop to take it all in though I am still

inside I am moved by the scene.

All that the tree brings from food to oxygen they even provide music if listen to

the birds sing.

They provide a home to a whole host of insects and animals, if your feeling ill

some trees have the antidote.


28/34

On hot days they give shade we even use the their materials for our buildings

keeping you cool in their doors and through the blades on your ceiling fan.

So I take a deep breathe and breath for my ecological kin I find it to be beautiful

the relationship of nature and man.

I understand now why the trees are blessed with longevity because they are here

to give without any discrepancy.

Smile

As the face stretches and the warmth overwhelms your being, happiness uplifts

you to that lively feeling.

After Defeat

Lying under an overpass bleeding from my head.

I couldnt fiend off the evil men that beat me and left me for dead.

I lied there waiting to leave this life then I heard a voice say, Get up you must

win this fight.

I remained an unbeliever, as I believed I would not survive.

The voice then calls out again, rise! You have not been given this life to just lye

there waiting to die.I stood up battered and bruised with nothing to lose except my last breath so I

take my first step.

I started thinking to myself I have so much to gain I can do so much with change.

Struggling to stay on my feet I use these thoughts to think beyond the pain.

I have no time to feel sorry for myself I must move on.

Life Begins When the Weak ends

As the week ends our time begins.

This is our chance to rekindle the happiness that we set aside.

Now is the time to bring our desires alive.

By the suns dusk we are in the shower cleaning off the souls dust.

We aside the problems for night & put the wings on the soul so we can feel fly.


29/34

Tonight we are the stars caught up in the night sky we are the twinkle in

everybodys eye.

We just living for the love of life we just want to be happy and free.

We may be here for the thrills but we still come in peace.

We just want to some spice in our life with a good toast like cinnamon.

So as the weak ends we prepare for our time to begin.

We will rekindle the happiness we hold inside.

It our time let the desire come to life.

When lights gone rejuvenate your soul.

Were going to free our minds and see how far we can go.

No longer will be star struck we reach for our own place to be in the sky stuck.

We just living for the love of life we just want to be happy and be free.

We may be here for thrills but we come in peace.

Our taste has become elevated to live the life the celebrated.

TheMurky Waters

Though I tread through these murky waters afraid I find comfort in the company.

Is this miserys company or am I trying to have a good time without misery

hunting me.

I look at the people Im with and wonder who are they inside they give me anillusion because I have a mind and a pair if eyes?

I will not deny that that at times I had to put the disguise so that my sorrow

hides.

Thats actually why I rounded up my friends and hit the town because inside Im

really feeling down.

So Ill party until I achieve the condition of, Im better now.

They say heavy is the head who wares the crown well if the kings head is

heavier than mine I offer him a shot of crown so that we may smile at the world.

As I stand here in these murky waters drinking until Im as empty as the bottle

looking for pleasure from hollow girls.

As I sit here and further drown myself in these drinks I begin to feel like a shrink

as I think.


30/34

Games

Mia was sitting alone in the library when Sean walked passed and flashed her a

smile.

Sean then sits at the table and tells Mia, Its been a while.

If I you'll allow me to back track for a flash back.

They met their freshmen year at a party, they where introduced by mutual peers.

They hit it off instantly sharing laughs and common interest.

Sean toldMia some flattering words, did a few good deeds and soon Mia felt like

a princess.

As the night went on Mia felt connected to Sean so she accepted his offer to walk

her home.

Mias attraction to Sean grew as they sang a commonly enjoyed song.

As they arrive at outside ofMias dorm,Mia looked at Sean and said, I had a

good time when should hangout more often.

Sean smiles atMia then says, If I dont do this now Ill be building my coffin. Mia

I think youre a cool chick but I have a girlfriend.

Mias only response was, Wow, and rather then look vulnerable in front him so

she ran in.

Okay now we can return to the library present day.

As Sean sat across the table fromM

ia, her eyes pierced through his with a mildlyangered face.

Sean feeling uncomfortable then lowers his eyes then asks Mia, Whats with all

the hostility Im not here to fight?

Sure you can have this table I was just leaving, Mia replied.

AsMia started to grab up her things Sean reaches out and places his hand over

hers.

He looksMia in the face and tells her, Im sorry how things occurred. But on the

other hand Im not, that night gave me sometime to think and you were the topic

of my thoughts.

Mias fond feelings for Sean began to resurface.

Mia calms herself down then asks Sean, Why are you here its been almost a

year are you here with a real purpose.


31/34

Sean then smiled atMia and began to explain, Mia Im sorry it took so long my

lifes been insane. I had to break up with my girlfriend and I was hesitant

because of they way things ended but you were always on my brain.

Mia then softens and tells Sean, Ive notice you and your girlfriend around

campus shes gorgeous.

Sean then takes a deep breath and tells, Mia, Yeah but she seemed trapped in

that fortress. I thinking she was cheating on me that whore bitch.

Mia smile with a devious grin then says to Sean, If I dont tell you this Id just be

building my own coffin. Sean Im seeing this really cool chick you know her shes

your ex-girlfriend.

Mia gathers up her things then blows Sean a kiss and walk away.

Sean then looks at the ceiling takes a deep breath and tells to his self, Ive been

played.

45. No Sense In Judgment

Oh what thy eyes have seen, yet I cant help but realize they do not think.

In fact none of my sense have the capability to judge, they are as pure as the

earths first spring.

The only thing that corrupts the reality I see is a misunderstanding of thought.

This inadequate thinking makes me ignorant of my sensibilities I know see howthe finer information becomes lost.

If I where to judge that which is opposite of me, they are purely objects in space

all of which had to arise from the same source.

And through this process of judging these objects my understanding become

finer when my relation to them is no longer coarse.

By the evaluation of my observation I may relate these objects through

conceptualization.

Judgments are a process of cognition not a product of sense organ stimulation.

46. My God

I give my highest love to my God creator of all that lays before me, with me, and

that comes after me.


32/34

You have truly blessed mankind if only everyone could see you with my eye.

If they could they would never question the divine that lives inside the body

where taking for a ride.

There is no me without you and Im glad you made us to see all that is truly you.

And you have shown me your greatness when I was truly blue.

You have moved me in my physical stillness reminding me of my metaphysical

realness.

You have the power to uplift me to heights without bounds.

You soothe me without stimulating the sensations of sight, touch or sound.

Some may call it crazy but I know youre around.

Because when Im alone my love becomes freed by thoughts of your good news.

My God no matter how long my time may be I will always love you.

My God I want to say thank you for the very life thats in my breath.

Beautiful We Are

We are beings of a divided nature the angel and the beast.

We are thinkers of aspiration our highest thought comes from the deep.

We are the expresser who brings feeling to light.

We are the creators we bring thought to life.

We are the lovers and the fighters, the receivers and providers.We are the intellectuals we can achieve anything.

We are the builders that live the dream.

We are the earths stars there are no words to describe how beautiful we are.

Well thats it for now but Ill have more next time you come around.

Say goodbye to the people Reggie.

I hope you enjoyed the words I given you.

Thank you

Goodbye.
