Daring to find a life much easier than this
Ride 'til you die and don't throw a fit
Ease yourself on it and you'll make it big
Arriving at the scene its not just make believe
Make yourself shine you'll make it anywhere
I started my own book of poems based on my life and "Welcome To My World" is its title. It's a work in progress so I hope anyone who reads it likes it and let me know what they think.
Aesthete In Harlem
Strange,
That in this nigger place,
I should meet Life face to face
When for years, I had been seeking
Life in places gentler speaking
Until I came to this near street
And found Life--stepping on my feet!
-Langston Hughes

Just A Dream
What is Earth?
What is this world we live in?
A world full of deception and hate
Why don't we throw it in a bin
And say we're done with it
But that is a dream
A dream that we the people seek
day and night.
Let's not feed our Earth with destruction
Because then we won't recover
From what is yet to come.
Racism, Discrimination
What else is out there?
Whatever it is
Don't bring it here
My home
A land I find so dear
A land risen from the Indians
Stand up and put in gear
What we have come to fear
From our founding fathers
to the man today
Oh yes!
There is so much that have changed.
Don't let that change turn into something violent
If it does just put it in a cage
And let it turn into something gray
For it won't come back
Not here.
Not today.

BLOODY NIGHTMARE
I take a look at myself
Flashback a raging fire that occured
I take a hand to my face
With the blood I can't seem to erase
Only then I knew that someone threw a brick at my face
I take a look at myself
Now I know it was all a dream
