He follows in the footsteps of righteousness to uphold his destiny. He keeps his mother close and his dreams closer. As the day breaks, he turns his head to the right to find his purpose, and understands the broken path that so easily troubles him. He knows one day he will have to bite the bullet that is pulled by the trigger of life. As he becomes wiser he continually seeks wisdom to destroy the negative image of his father. The helmet of man hood was never taught to him nor demonstrated in his environment. Many people have told stories about the fatherless son and the negative impact that follows him. But he knows it to not be true. For he is a leader of many nations and works hard to provide for his family. He stands up for what is right to produce a seed that grows in the garden of hope. The missing love of his father has taught him how to be a Man. He appreciates the foundation that was laid by his mother, because of her, he has knowledge of what a real woman should be. He has overcome society’s definition of a loss cause. God blesses everything he touch and keeps doors open no man can close. Just because boy grows up without a father does not mean his life is destroyed, for God said “he will be a father to the fatherless.”

DallasCowgirl says: This piece.... What a wonderful piece this is! Truly a piece of joy and gives inspiration to those who are in need of it. Reminds me of my Abba. A great man raised without a physical father. But Righteousness became his father and He's a better man because of it, I truly love this piece. |

OTHER POEMS WRITTEN BY tinesia30
Flowing FreelyLove is time It stands up In the mist of trouble Its breath consumes Our emotions It will change the very essences That makes us who we are A touch of its understanding Beings hope Love is a sacrifice used as an offering To open up ones intellect by Accepting new possibilities Of a future that exist Behind a wall Built from life's regrets Love makes one free Love lives where Seeing eyes cannot reach  |
A Dedication to my Poetic Brothers
Waking up to Folgers in my cup Reading written words from my brothers Knowing that they still exist behind pen and paper Gives me hope for a better tomorrow Voices like Malcom Leadership like Frederick Hearts like Martin Inspiring like Medgar Evans Sense of humor like Mr. Gregory Sam Cook said “a change is gonna come†Langston said “hold fast to our dreams “ Marcus said “with confidence we already won “ Stokely said “we ain’t running no more†Keep writing kings of the Most High Never stop expressing who you are And where you come from Nothing but love |
Out the Mouth of BabesHistory is only history printed in textbooks full of lies Erasing the depths of our identity Separating a creation of a nation Full of distraught memories, leaving us Slanged and deranged from our abilities Insulting our intelligence But they forgot about those 80’s babies Dark skinned with a force to be recon with Spirit as hymns used in the songs of freedom Overflowing with knowledge of wisdom Growing up in crack houses and habituated to gang violence Pressing towards the mark of a higher calling To return what was stolen From this country Dignity, Respect, Education, Equality Writing the vision plain upon tables In hopes that he may run who reads For this appointed time Sent to defeat the forces of evil Defending the apple of his eye It shall speak and not lie |
We EntertainFeet wounded from the branches Of the trees our brothers forcefully hung from Mocking the tears shed For equality sake Leaving false possibilities In hopes of failure Government assistance As if we needed the favor Selling dreams to the uneducated Especially when we were told We could never be Now the tables have turn Now we are seen as assets America is strong because of us Family tradition came from us The fist of power Beams from the graves of our ancestors Pumping inspiration and dedication Through the veins of this generation So I embrace this natural fro I embrace the feathers of my Indian heritage To remind those Of this war we already won My sisters and brothers Every creed and every color The ball is in our court Let's finish this... |
Crimes of the HeartIf I had a dollar For every time you said I love you I will still be broke Your words are penniless Good girl gone bad Is what your boys say Best thing you ever had Is what your heart say Anything you needed If I had it No second guessing It was yours When I tell you no It is like I said yes Because I am a woman Who loves hard This you took to your advantage Because I am woman of God You would easily be forgiven I feel trapped In this thing you call love When I tell you this All hell breaks lose And that same tongue You said I love you with Beats me down As if my feelings Do not matter My opinions Is your stomping ground I pity the fool I tell myself |
Mommas’ Boys
A diamond is a girl’s best friend I find that hard to believe Looking at Brown eyes of dreams Unconditional love Regardless of what I’ve done To them I am the world A hero, Every sacrifice I made I will do again A hug, a kiss Welcomes me everyday A cry, a laugh, I can distinguish miles away I will choose death For them to keep life No man will ever complete An infatuation so deep It reaches past the soul Madness will creep If anyone does them harm Happiness will weep When I see The God fearing men They will become Mommas’ boys |
Trapped in the MindsetFast money in this home of dysfunction The only love we've ever known Flashy chains of assumptions Bond around the neck Respect, is a privilege It earned never given Snitches get stiches The motto to hood living Spinning wheels of deception Leaving young minds wishing Evidence of the weapons Used for mass destruction Outlined with white chalk Is never the discussion “We don’t die we multiply†Stated from the fallen foot soldiers NO help wanted Just open graves Trapped in the mindset |
Native LandsTaking from the shores of Africa Killed by the gun of the MAN No border to enter Public Housing Reservations Is their intentions Is it just me? Doesn’t this land belong to us? Wasn’t the first person IN AMERICA of a darker complexion We work well with our hands Strong backs of broken men Strip of dignity Our women carry on Our babies are born healthy It's jealousy, seen so clearly Form the front page news To every home in every city Victory, is not an option It’s ordained Soon to be conquered

Futuristic ThoughtsFight the power Spoken with such gratitude We are the people. Driven with such attitude Thinking of Harriet’s pride And Malcom’s intelligence Who am I not to want a piece Of this destiny presented before me Imagine all minorities Standing together as the majority A dream our ancestors died for A movement to Force closed hands to open Exposing the truth of our government I wonder …….. What would that be like? |
As I walk through the valleyHard times cause for high praises Written in the book of life Walking by faith Not blinded by sight Establishing the trust between He and I Inclining thine ear unto His wisdom Applying thine heart to His understanding Preserving the way for His saints Correcting whom He delights The wicked will not roam here Nor will evil reside Since my table is prepare In the presence of my enemies Since my armor is made of righteousness No one will find me hiding In this place that shields me Delivers me and provides for me Often times feeling defeated Dotting my I’s and crossing my T’s Letting patients have its virtue All good things work together For those who go through Cornered in this strong hold of uncertainly The presents of t... |
