Black Poetry : ( y ) CHANGE +EGNAHC+ change

[mistaliberator]

BEFORE I START
LET ME SLOW DOWN
AND
PEACEFULLY
GATHER MYSELF
I WAS PUT HERE
TO SPEAK OF THIS LIFE
THIS LIFE
SO FULL OF BEAUTY
THIS LIFE
SO FULL OF PAIN
THIS LIFE
LIFE IN WHICH I SHALL ALWAYS FIGHT
THIS LIFE FOR WHICH ADAM AND EVE ARE THE ONES TO BLAME
WE KNOW THE STORY
BUT WE DO THE SAME
PEOPLE FORGIVE ME
BUT ITS ALL IN VAIN
POETIC BLUES SINGER LIKE THE GREAT SAM COOKE
IM JUST WAITING ON MY CHANGE
AND WHEN WILL IT CHANGE
THE HOMELESS MAN ON THE PARK BENCH
JUST WANTS CHANGE
NO HE JUST WANTS CHANGE
THIS CRUEL LIFE
SO FULL OF MISERY
BUT EVEN THE LILLIES BLOOM EVERY SPRING
AND THE BABIES SoUND OFF WHEN THE ATMOSPHERE FIRST CONNECTS WITH THEIR HARMLESS BODIES
NOW WHO GOT SOUL
I REALLY NEED TO KNOW
BORN INTO SIN
BORN INTO SIN
MIND RAPED INTO SIN

MY BRAIN BECAME THE ORCHARD OF
HAPPINESS
AND GOD BLESS THE MOTHERS AND THE FATHERS
GOD BLESS THE BASTARDS AND THE ORPHANS
MAY GOD BLESS THE THIEVES AND THE MURDERS
MAY GOD BLESS ME
AND MY YOUNG SOUL SPEAKS OF
OLE TIME KNOWLEDGE
LIFE CAN OFTEN GET TECHNICAL
AND YOU WILL NOT BE PREPARED SOLELY BY THE UNIVERSITY
NO BACHELORS DEGREE
CANT MAKE UP FROM THE BLOOD SHED AT THE FOOT OF THE SINNERS TREE

Poets speak of all there is, the good, the bad, and everything in between. As much as things change, some things curiously remain the same. Keep letting those thoughts flow onto paper poet of the week.
