I ain't got nothing to lose
nothing belongs to me
not possessively attached
to any thing in this world
born mama's baby but it
was experience that raise
me been here for a while
seen a lot of things I believe
a lot of stuff every body in
the family ain't no friend
bloods not always thick
enough if it's between
thick and thin going some
where know where I been
know my folks know my
kin know a snake when I
see one dream one it's a
warning sign kill one it's
done stay and fight don't
run it starts with a hunch
a tap on the shoulder
it tells me I'm getting older
it tells me I should be wiser
don't be careless reckless
and sloppy stay on guard
when I write I speak out
loud it's the only way I
can scream my art out
they told me go to work
you'll get paid but when the
check came couldn't make
rent money already spent
by the time pay day roll
around went back to school
to get a few more tools to
make some moves tighten
some screws paying back
student loans gave me blues
so deep in debt couldn't buy
new shoes had to tie the
old ones up and hit the
ground running beat the
pavement so hard the
world knew I was coming
if I weren't up to no good
I wasn't doing nothing
mama said to me
"you picking in a the right
cotton patch to get 100"
black folks back then said a lot of
racist things and made a lot
of terroristic threats like
"I'm gone bless you and
the undertaker gone dress you"
I manage to get through it
alive couldn't be scared
inside trying to protect
my life outside enemy's
didn't know me I didn't know
the enemy could of been the
closes one to me seen too
many people go to school together
play outside with each other
grow up shoot and kill each other
those who survive the streets
grow up to have children
who repeat the same defeat
and trauma no debt goes
unpaid no one goes
unscathed referring to
Karma all debt must be paid
seen it go so many ways
on this stage like watching
plays on display thinking
about all the grave sights
all the names written on
stones of the one's gone
I wonder if they were here
now what would they think
of the world today and in it
what role would they play
would they be like me still
here telling it like it twas
and probably won't change
the written narrative

OTHER POEMS WRITTEN BY The Immortal Wize

Here We Go Again

the water is getting deeper waves are getting higher earth is on a warpath wind is calm for now I hear there will be fire next time but what about this time if you were given a chance for one last dance would you take it or stand with your back against the wall watching everyone else have a ball while Babylon fall the last hurrah then "Hip Hip Hurray" do not fear be not afraid at the close of the day night gone fall on us all while waiting for the electricity to come back on making a promise is not the same as making a point the drift been gotten prior to what's been done, before is a current past event

Spirals Of Smoke

be informed to get in formation currently the new currency is information be not uninformed action is required activate desire it ain't over until the unsung sing It's Done do not retire there will always be fire to start new beginnings it doesn't matter who's winning we will win win and win again it is written

All Points

when you stuck you believe in something you can't get out of when you blocked you believe you can't get ahead because something is in the way when you flow you believe you unstoppable when you open you believe you walking around without clothes when you can't let go you believe you can't let go what we believe got us under control when you believe you can fly levitation is no longer impossible to achieve

No Two Ways About It

there's a old say that goes you have to laugh to keep from crying I get it I'm laughing but not cause I want to cry for any particular reason you know that idiom it never fails it means it happens every time once we recognize we're out of our league it's wise to pursue a league of our own I'm smiling I have something to smile about that don't have nothing to do with what's going on in the world something I can't do nothing about on that note "Uh Oh" is an expression of alarm dismay and means it's too late "it's about to go down"

Enthrall (Repost)

got these broken wings I don't know why I never could fly I never wished for such a thing so many others dream so many others sing I wish and I wish on other things like we all, wakeup at the same time How bout that? we can all celebrate you...know have a good time fun, without, someone getting beside themselves pulling out a gun killing another mothers son or someone's baby girl, we'll just sit around talking about what we're going to do with all the wealth sadly the mule has died of natural causes but, there's plenty of acres and homes to be had now if I could just, find that genie, I got a few more to settle the score

It Gets Messy

waiting for something I want hope and wish to happen is like watching a mouse hole real close while holding a bat

On The Heels Of The Sun

a Butterfly abandons her egg her offspring is left behind without a mother to cling to some would think doomed from the start giving into our circumstance is refusal to change everyone gets a chance a Caterpillar cannot transform into a Butterfly if it die before its/it's time the light is often taken off the Caterpillar and shown on the Butterfly the mother of a Caterpillar is a Butterfly she gives birth to the one who is destined to transform she's the one who gives birth to change the Caterpillar is one who comes out the dark into the light where one come from does not determine where one will end up

The Ripple (Repost)

trying hard is not trying hard enough enough we have to put faith in the sun that it will shine again even when the sky is gray everything around us falls apart as long as our heart is beating we're not defeated nor are we destroyed something goes wrong we must be strong it won't be long hold on here we go back to the dome in some form or another if you're with someone then you got each other if we build our foundation strong enough to float how can we go under let lightening strike we're made of thunder take a sip from the power within put the cup down raise the pen we write to win this is a conquest not a contest a inkwell of consciousness

Nov 5

my distaste for voting season is people act like their talking to children telling them don't forget to brush their teeth asking them did they wash their hands telling them what they should do what they need to do what they have to do people act like they get paid to remind grown folk to vote who's going to know you did if they didn't see you do it

Hush It Up (Repost)

m whispering quietly~~~ trying not to waken the beast taking away, what happiness we saved, my black...ness is all I have, you might laugh but it's enough for me wouldn't want to be any other nationality, created most hated so proud of the people though we may be fading in a fleeting moment victims of unlawful and illegal occultic underhanded dealings the truths that are being revealed has reached out and killed many in hidden colors there are some who read the fine print, those who do not fear the number 13 know the underlined truth in the Amendment though I may shake a bit like an aftershock after a California earth quake trembles, my hands are steady my finger are not to nimble to quietly tap the tree, give my people dap empowering them to empower others this is how we can will and still glean
