Kindred Black Poetry

Pile It On

You have to love this life and just ask to pile it on. We have lived a gift and continue to breathe that gift into and out of ourselves. Take a minute to feel that one breath that will make all the difference in the world. 

Because it does. 

You have inspired someone and may not even know it. You are someones world and you are still playing it little. Still looking for the small wins and not trying to hit it out of the Universe. 

Because that is what you are being asked to do.

Summary Judgement

How do you perform a sendoff for someone that has lived their lives in dignity. Most of it was in the presence of people that loved them and wanted the best for them, the rest of it was lived in fear. 

The other side of that equation is how do you make peace with someone that in order for them to feel like they are striving they need to have an enemy?

Even during times for peace, they are seeking the opportunity to create their greatest enemy.

So how do you do it?

Going Home

There comes a time when it is just time to go home. There could be an irresistible urge to stay in your current circumstance but it really comes a time when you have to let go of all the latches and just let yourself ascend. 

I have ascended. 

But I am depending on you to come find me.

Bust Back

Dont ever think that the world is piling things on top of you. You always have to remember two things, the first is that you are enough and the second is that you are the mountain. The world is constantly looking for direction from you. There is strength even in your doubts. 

How hard is this for you to believe when it looks like the only thing in front of you is limitations. There is more to the world than that and in truth there is more to you than what you touch, taste, see and hear. 

Just dont give up. Its time for you to bust back and use your greatest weapon, your spirituality.

Popular Being Poor

I think somewhere along the way we made it cool to be poor. You could see that nothing really stopped us from showing each other love and having a good time. We can have a good time with the gas tank on E and still not have a care in the world. 

I dont know. 

Something about that aint right.

Climate Change

The climate changed, she is not here anymore. She is all around us and we were always looking for her. I love you  mom.

White House

Right now I am living in a white house and based on the blemishes on my face, I have seen enough white one just to survive one term paper. Because thats all this term is about, paper. Anybody seeing it for much more than it is doesnt have a clue and if the shoe fits, that means you too. 

I saw past the bulls*it, I have x-ray vision to not let my life be moved by those decisions and to take the world for what it is. Im exercising my free will and this pill I am going to swallow is a GULP GULP with water but the bucket. 

And you know what, f*ck it. Im all in. In it to win it and all of that. 

Kittens in Baskets

The epitome of life of what it really takes to put all of this together. Its like keeping kittens in baskets and all for their greater good. Instead there you go, you a goof ball with loose drawls and still not watching where you point that thing. Fire, fire, aim and you and I are caught in the flame. 

How you gone bring justice to the justice league when you making decisions on being heartbroken, your speech slurred and then I heard you were all in and aint even step out the box yet. 

I have regrets, none that I will be able to live down. Thats a good thing too, Im moving up in the world so you can stay out the box kitten.

Backbreaker

This life has been a backbreaker. I feel like the Undertaker, for my wrestling fans you know exactly what I am talking about. My back was broken but not my resolve, I was toughened up and looked at the world from a different perspective. I was in the drivers seat and had no control of what was happening around me. 

That is just the way I like it. I am in control of my own destiny and I get to choose my destination. I can do everything write and still get a bad result but at the end of the day, I still choose. 

You have the power to choose so make sure you choose wisely. 

Hands Bound

My hands were bound but my spirit is free. I am glorified in how he died. I want the world to know that I believe in him. I am not swayed by the earthly and move forward in a spirit of faith. 

There has been an aura that has been trying to install a spirit of fear and I dont know how else to say that this. I just dont care. I am not even at the opposite of love. I really just dont care because all things are possible through faith.
