People are hurting

 Scratching your head in unbelief,

wondering why did it have to come to this.

It was hard to grasp,

your mind racing,

trying desperately to comprehend and think.

As you are sprawled out,

sleep still in your eyes,

you stretch.

Putting your phone back down, you pulled the covers back.

WTF!!!!

You just cannot believe it.

You just do not get it.

If only you had what they had,

things would have ended up differently.

Why?

Why?

“Damn!” you say out loud.

Hard to understand what made people feel this way.

Man! If I were them…you think out loud.

Not sure how to finish that thought,

not sure if it was in your head,

or even if you had actually said it out loud.

The pain their loved ones must be feelin’.

“Damn!” You mutter again.

All the ooh’s and ahh’s;  

many on Twitter were in disbelief.

You yawned, and sat up,

finally placed your feet on the floor;

silently prayed for their loved ones,

 to find some type of peace;

lifted yourself out of bed,

heading to the bathroom door.

PAIN

 Pain in my eyes, pain in my face,

pain in my heart, pain in my race.

When will it stop?  Will it ever end?

Will my race come to grips with the demons within?

I see people of color hatin’ each other,

I see people of color, jealous, envious, wanting to rob and kill each other.

Black men look at each other with envy and hate,

Black women look at each other with jealousy and distaste.

A Black man can look at a White man and speak and all,

but he looks at another Black and won’t crack a smile.

A Black woman can say, “hi,” to a White female,

but will roll her eyes and want to beat down a Black female.

No wonder we haven’t achieved all that we can,

we can’t even stand our own, we get along better with the White man.

So much distrust, thinking that everyone that looks like us,

is out to use, and to get us.

We are so confused, we don’t even like those who look like us.

Pain in my eyes, pain in my face,

pain in my heart, pain in my race.

#Footing the Bill for Trumps

 Footing the bill for Trumps;

Donald Trump the big lump;

golfing, talking, shouting

eating, spewing, laughing

hating, rating, and communicating???

Somehow,

the taxpayers are always the ones who eventually foot the bill

BUT NOW,

We have to foot the bill for the entire Trump clan,

Or is it Klan?

Klansmen,

Powerful White men,

touting that they will make America great again.

9^th Circuit decision

 Trump’s ban is done, immigration and what’s right won,

Trump’s mad and defeated,

will he continue to scowl, revert to calling people names,

& keep Tweeting?

The 9^th Circuit made a decision;

Accept it Trump, you were defeated.

America,

the land of the great;

America,

where we stand together and will not tolerate HATE!

America,

the land of the free,

for Blacks, Gays, Mexicans, Women, Muslims, and others;

The 9^th Circuit court,

not afraid of Trump,

His stupid immigration ban was dumped!

America,

is great again.

2017:  A new Trump

It’s 2017; it’s a new year;

Trump will take over the Oval Office in a couple of weeks,

so many new fears!

 A campaign perceivable ran full of hate,

this has never happened before in America,

what will be our fate?

 Twitter rants,

Name calling,

Always wanting to be right;

Justifies,

Lies,

Encouraging people to fight.

Discriminating openly against Muslims, Mexicans, Gays and Blacks.

Creating a new Alt. Right group, whose agenda is to promote the good ole boys club, trying to take America waaaay back.

 Make America great again, what does that really mean?

Make America great again, was his campaign theme.

A leader now?

So…no more rants?  No more tantrums?  No more name calling? 

No more acting like a spoiled, rotten kid?

 LEAD the country, if you dare;

no more Russian influence, they have NEVER been America’s best friend.

LEAD the country, if you dare;

no more discriminatory practices, treat ALL just & fair.

LEAD the country, if you dare;

STOP POLICE BRUTALITY widely practiced in America,

killing innocent Black men, women and twelve year old kids!

LEAD the country Mr. Trump;

You have 4 years to be inclusive of ALL

and truly

make America great again!

Free to be me, that’s who I know how to be.

From life experiences, no matter the setting, I have learned just to be me.

Many tried to shame me,

Ridicule and mock me;

Many unfriended me, chastised me, tried to block me.

They didn’t want me to be the true authentic me,

but tried to mold me into who they wanted me to be.

Men,

Friends,

Family,

Co-workers,

Writers,

Church members,

Associates,

Dating potentials.

Change can be good, I know this to be true;

I had to learn patience with others,

I had to learn to taper what was truly on my mind

I had to learn how to accept others for who they were

without any prejudices, preconceived notions, and a closed-up mind.

I had to be kind,

Stop being blind;

Open up and admit,

Stop with the fake, I am important crap because of my degree;

Continue to strive,

Without guilt, or the blame game,

Resolve some unresolved anger,

you know, just deal with some shit.

While accepting me fully, with no shame or hate in mind.

I’m not ashamed to hang around all Blacks at work,

I’m not ashamed for wearing my natural hair, that’s YOUR problem.

I’m not ashamed of eating soul food, after all, other cultures stay true to themselves.

Judge me if you want, you will anyway,

But not I don’t give a F@ck, is all I’m trying to say,

I’m Free!

Sort of…

.#BillCosby; did he do it?

 The pudding pop guy;

The father on the Cosby show;

The spy on I spy; is he guilty? Or is it all lies?

Sex

Booze

Drugs

A “Love Potion”

Makin’ them give it up;

knowingly and unknowingly, throwin’ it in his face;

                                                  many wonder why the long wait? 

Mr. Cosby settled another case back in the day;

He paid money, the record was closed,

how then can “they” throw that same case back up in his face?

Isn’t there a time limitation?

A statute of such?

So many years later, WTF!

Is he a rapist?

Did he do it?

Are these women all lying?

Were they willing participant, knowing the drug in which they partake?

Mr. Cosby, if you are guily, oh what a waste!

Mr. Cosby, at one time, admonished other Blacks,

called then distasteful, thugs, slammin’ their culture right in their face.

Now look,

old and blind,

bumping into poles, can’t walk straight, shit slammin’ him right in the face.

Holier than thou, livin’ a lie;

Righteous

Rich

Rapist

Scapegoat

Innocent

Wanting him to go out in disgrace.

Mr. Cosby,

If innocent, may God be with you,

If guilty, karma has finally caught up with you.  

Orlando shooting

Hate,

Jealousy,

Envy,

Crazy,

Deranged,

ISIS,

Terrorist,

Extremist,

Lone wolf…

The innocent victims, the innocent children;

the innocent brothers, the innocent sisters;

fathers, mothers,

sons, daughters,

friends, cousins, in-laws, lovers;

nieces, nephews,

Uncles, aunts;

grandchildren,

Boy what a mess!

My heart is so heavy for this massive loss;

A deranged lunatic, a wanna-be took them all out.

How could this happen?

Why didn’t anyone notice?

A lone wolf he’s called,

How about just a hateful murderer!

We are ALL human,

Not one better than the other,

Straight, gay, bi-sexual, whatever…

Black, White, Mexican, Asian, Puerto Rican, Pacific Islander, Native American, Bi-racial, Tri-racial, whatever…

Tall, medium height, short, small, whatever…

Skinny, fat, plus sized, or small, whatever…

Jew, Gentile, Atheist, non-denomination, Christian, Muslim, Catholics, Protestants, Jehovah Witness, Mormon, whatever…

We all want to be understood, loved and happy;

after all, God accepts and loves us all

RIP my brothers and sisters.
