Such A Waste

Shake do right strictness control

Only a spouse not a friend not family

Just a spouse so what does that mean

I let you drown and leave you to die

Of all the wounds you inflict on yourself

A rocky road I know but I care which is

More than I’d say for most I only want

What you want but I can let it go and be

with you on rules if they’re explained

And if I don’t like it might break my

Heart but if that is what I need you need

They need we should stick together go

Far then drop down into the trees to rest

No drama no worries might work you will

Be respected which is important like all

Those commercials it’s your body it’s

your right to do with as you please all in

Start again on the right foot second

chances all in we’ve got so much privilege

As a country and as a race we should do

Something positive with it such a waste

A Need (A Fight)

Bounce back fill slack remote meander

Still murky bottom strangle pee possible

Penitent reveal actual kneel real beaut

Sting mud stale enroll stab my my

Never remain communicate amble

Everiengelicate grounded she felt

That promise in action social kept

Mayan northern temple laud ensemble

Could I know him on a plane and you

Get him here ASAP told make it HAPPEN.

Think!

Background stoop past clash with

Authority problem coexist you think

You’re better than a handful I doubt

For a minute you’ve a nullify lifting

Weights tangling treats for domestic

Sly foxes never permitted at home

Behind bars at school a waste of free

Time bothering with tests and programs

Teach for life, damn it, forget college

Or any of that crap yes you might save

A few but who will become homeless

Or on the street hustling aged out and

Misdirected by a broken system that

Ignores their pain just makes them do

What others cannot stupid I think

In Whom Am I Rooted?

1.

Roots are meant to hold a tree up,

But as they age, with more limbs

And leaves, the roots take on another

Purpose, as well. The roots begin to hold

A tree down, not because it might fly up,

But because the tree may topple over,

With all the additional weight.

2.

So, my roots are important, as a part
Of my foundation, including

The people who have sought me out,

To give me support, to love me,

In my time of need,

My friends and family,

Reminding each other of all that’s been,

And the hope that exists

Based on all of my unique strengths.

3.

So, I’ve had to take a couple steps back,
To relearn some life lessons,

And to venture out again

With newfound strengths,

Realizing I have gained so much,

Over the years.

4.

And then there’s God,
A broken relationship,

From a long time ago,

A fearful one at best,

But one easily ignored, to a point.

As a child of God,

Now I’m listening to my life,

And now I seek him out,

As he has always sought me out.

5.

In holy places,

Full of those who love God’s children,

I’ve heard God say,

“Do you want to be healed?”

And, then,

“Who do you say that I am?”

I ponder in my heart,

These very true questions.

For how long have I run from the truth?

And how many times have I denied,

Who and what he is,

God incarnate,

Come to take away the sins of the world?
