I'll Be Dammed

I'll Be Dammed

I'll Be Dammed
By Nate Spears

My birth arrived from a place
Where the sun didn't always shine
Neighbors borrowed everything
From Kool-aid to Good Times
Dirt trail tales
Sand lot fields,
Sores filled my legs
From playing out here

Diamonds in the rough
Times were tough
If you didn't play right
They whipped your butt
But,
Under the hood lies a motor
Furious when crunk
Hit the gas and excel
Use it to drive to the top
Elevate with purpose,
Achieving is certain
I'll be dammed if I let the hood
Be my disconnect button.

True Valentine

True Valentine
By Nate Spears
Published 2013 in “Death OF A Rose” By Nate Spears

A lost woman the mirror reflects
Young; and it’s apparent
I can see it in her eyes
No focus and childbearing
Just ass, legs, and thighs in mind
No marriage

If she knew better
Learned better; and
Wanted better,
He would show her a better way of living
Instead of dealing with cowards
Seek a man with moral and merit
He’s stealing your joy
He’s bringing you pain
Removing your youth
He’s playing games

The truth at heart is
Reality should be your first thought
Loneliness is not your fault
It’s a part of life for most
Don’t let it destroy your values
Just wait,
You’ll find a true love to treasure you.

The Surface Of My Pages

The Surface Of My Pages
By Nate Spears

On the surface of my pages
I give you me
Through poetry
In my voice I speak:

My brightest days
My darkest nights
My loving moments
My rightful fights

I give you my whole
I give you my best
I give you my voice
Through struggles I confess
Me.
 

God Bless The Child

God Bless The Child
By Nate Spears
Published 2013 in “Death OF A Rose” By Nate Spears

God bless the child that see’s no evil
The child that digs within his soul
To survive unpleasing
With pain never easing; just teasing

God bless the child that clashes with the Titans
The child fighting for existence
Steady fighting relentless
Relentlessly,
Fighting the struggle
For what he believe is nothing
But he’s a child of god
So he’s blessed to be a front man

God bless the child that know not nothing
The child that comes to realize
That help’s not coming
Wondering the streets without a clue
Of what to do
Ignorance is all surrounding
Grief is all around them
Without any signs of peace

God bless the child that you conceive
Give them life
Give the strength
Let t...

A Woman's Worth

A Woman’s Worth
By Nate Spears

Her purpose in this world is hurting
She’s never been a designed of perfect
But she is a mom, so she’s super
She works
She cleans
Then roll up her sleeves ; and
Take care of the kids; and
The house
Making it a home
For a beautiful family to roam
Building wonderful memories
Becoming a woman of worth
Keeping her faith through Christ
Keeping her pace through health
Keeping her sanity through managing
This is a woman’s worth
I’m giving you

Despite of all the stress
She receives her family with open arms
Through all the mess
She’s a fantastic mom
A wonderful woman
Deserving a round of applause
Plus a standing ovation
For always being an American sensation
That held this continent down since day one
...

A Man's Worth

A Man’s Worth
By Nate Spears

I’ve never been god’s gift to the world
But I am a man
A man with a gift
A man with a plan
A man of mistakes
But a man of honesty
A man with integrity
That’s the man inside of me.

For what you believe in; stand for
Be the heart of your family
The flaming torch
Be the hand that feeds
Be the hand that heals
Be the hand that nurtures
Be the hand that kills

Be the hand that serves
Be the hand that protects
Be one hand in your household
That demands respect; and is
Truly blessed
To have a beautiful family
Making you the whole of a man
Bringing a new meaning
To the soul of a man
With respect
With honor
With courage
Be a symbol of depth
Making mankind reflects its intent
On this earth
As is in hea...

One Hundred

One Hundred
By Nate Spears

One hundred percent has been missing
Since one hundred percent of the beginning
A large percent has been given
A large percent has vanished

Which leads me to think
The fool isn’t played
The fool is in living
Adam was the fool
For the rib he was giving
To his wife,
Starving generations with sin
In life

In a world of hard times
The snake rule will end
Head less; or heart less
Without it; regardless
You’re dead
On this earth we stand
As is in heaven
Amen.

F Bomb

“F Bomb”
By Nate Spears

I got the heart of a man name Malcolm
The visions of Martin Luther
The tongue of Emmett Till
The brains of Medgar Evers

Can I get a window seat
Away from defeat
Can I get park for the kids to play
Next to the spot
Where Rosa refused her seat

Langston in my pen
Proud, young, and free
Handsome and intelligent
The government targets me
First,
In a second
My history is a blessing
The court system in racist
Society shows the traces.

Today time is unknown
Tomorrow I declare throne
Sitting
Hoping
Wishing
You could see into this wrong
My prolonged unhappiness
Is unborn

The first minute
From the first start of life
I was faced against the odds
Placed against my fears
A prisoner of my tears
But I’m here
So I must go on

Descent lies within deceit
Power lies within defeat
A victim of my heritage
Witnessing the destruction of lives
Family and marriage

Adopting the ways of the Seminole
Running into new heights
Reflecting on my strategy
Near the coastlines
Where most die

With a final desperate at...

22 Lines
By Nate Spears

I stand on top of the opinion of the mighty powers above
Staring into the eyes of their dominion
Keeping myself armed and fighting
In mind
In the order of a new world
In the order of new eyes
My spirit is old
In the order of new times
My heart lacks no fear
My hands lacks no wrong
So I have no tears
to let roll on

As The River Of Jordan splashes in red
My evil days shall past
Consistent with biblical teachings
I speak the truth consistent with loud speakers
Let freedom ring
While I’m running my fingers through the clouds
I've discovered a savior to save us
Now drip my sun light onto the best
Now drip my sun light onto the rest
Goodness shall fall from my fingers tips
Onto the pages
of my ink.
