Spoken Life

Spoken Life





Spoken Life, once you sift through all of the hype

Plights of these mental nights rise like the morning light

Mourning is a price to pay every time you read

Every time I write it seems like I internally bleed

Discerning and heeding all of the learning deceiving

Like a furnace I’m burning, old self is leaving

Doused in flames I’m believing, the grim reaper

Is Grieving, angel of death just taking old ways

A fortress of web I’ve been weaving

Leading the followers, the hour has come upon this man

Part time Poet use to be a full time hollow man

The bottled plan has come ashore to be revealed in uncharted lands

Familiar places know who I am but still don’t really understand

A few praises ooohs and ahhs, hip hoorays  Horahs

Cliques can perform forever but to me you’re still blahzay blah

A year old fetus never breaching coral doors

With your teachings

Beyond poetry’s womb you’re never reaching

I see a collective parasite that’s leeching

Holding on never letting go, a rerunned episode

A dormant void in the universe, unable to explode

For any new existence it must be some sort of resistance

Breaking away from the norm, a rebellious uplifting

Shifting from the page, the stage, and this electronic paper

Atomic feelings turn readers to vapors, because my heart is gaping

Drained and sometimes vacant, lazy and complacent

Waiting but impatient, sleeping has made me awaken

Raping minds with dreams, has made a nightmare of my reality

B-more STD’s and fatalities is really my actuality

Battling the devil for my family, and my relationship

My relations with my girl needs a lift,

Understanding what needs to be fixed, our

Answers lies at an Abyss

Listless at these paragraphs, they can care less who I am

I sacrificed this so called pad to fill my spirit man

Trying to build skyscrapers on quick sand,

An acclaimed poet, but a feel like a low paid slave

Neglected my bills for this nonsense

This uncomfortable bed I have made

Classic Compositions I gave, was once all the rave

Until the next hot one comes, everyone fades





Out of these clear windows I gaze, at God’s path he has laid

With the faith of a pebble, I can cause tsunami kind of waves

Just because I gave, from my heart without looking for a return

If wisdom is the sun, in its ultraviolet rays let me burn

Let them no longer see my skin, just an ethereal light within

Let all my wounds mend, surviving the mouth of Satan’s den

In this world enemies and friends are identical twins

I want to binge with joyful filled syringe

Baptize in water in scriptures just singe

I guess where poetry and spoken word ends

The P.O.P. life begins…
