Sandy shore
Shining stars
Rustling wind
Wave after wave
"slowly driftin"
City lights
fireworks
Sparkling reflection
Glistening ocean
slowly driftin
Sweet kisses
Serenades
Promenades
Promiscuity
slowly driftin
Perfect pleasure
Immeasurable
But irreplaceable
Dispensable
slowly driftin
and weve drifted.

The Average Black Girl

a stroke here
a smudge there
splashes of color
that fade to gray
lively lilting--
legible
worn and wilting--
tangible
this Monet that is
you and i
from afar we make sense
up close we are a mess,
a Michelangelo gone mad,
a tarnished Sistine ceiling
where beauty peeks through
and through each moment spent with you
i am forever confused--
forever falling
flailing
fawning
fearing over the fact
that you may not fully be mine
I find this composition
to be concerning,
this painting
to be painful,
yet wonderful at the same time
I cannot complete what is not finished.
I cannot see what is not in focus.

Opinion on American Sniper
What i have learned in recent months is that
lives are disposable
millions die each day
and replaced by millions born
each life has a story
each person their own belief
individuals, but disposable ones
i refuse to believe that
refuse to support that in any way
but we all do it subconsciously
that is no crime
what is crime
what should be tried in court
and judged in the heavens
is the conscious effort to
devalue one's life
War does this.
a way for man-made entities to play games
back and forth
who can gain the most
oil,
money,
exceptionalism,
nationalism.
Completely selfish
We are all human
but war takes away humanity
and for some reason
people praise that
people praise a sniper
who killed iranian men
women and children
in the name of
what?
America, God, his family?
No as i read
as i heard
as i saw
it was fun
it was a game
it was the "time of his life"
sickening
absolutely so
to see a trigger as a toy
and a dead person as points gained
disgusting
war is horrid
war should be a last resort
and an event to be mourned
lives are disposable
millions die each day
and replaced by millions born
each life has a story
each person their own belief
