These Ole' Ghetto Streets

These Ole' Ghetto Streets

These ole' Ghetto streets 

You got beef??

then bring the heat,

Don't make this an issue,

I might just diss you,

When You living in the hood, and

you wish a n**** Would!!

Aye, you good???

Everything's Aiight!!!

Aye, Ya'll cool??? 

Yeah we tight???,

Trash all over the place,

 it's just a sin and

 a shame it's such a disgrace,

Get outta my face, or 

Imma put you in your place,

Don't make a sound,

 not even a peep,

Can't keep your mouth shut, 

then take several seats,

It's about to go down,

IN THESE OLE' GHETTO STREETS!!!

The Stillness of Time

In the stillness of time,

is where I tend to live, 

Tranquility and peace, 

is what calmness will give.

Everything is at a halt,

and is frozen in time,

a time to decompress and 

to just to unwind.

To live in this state,

will be so divine, happiness 

for those few moments,

will feel just fine.

I wish that I could stay,

in this frame of reposed mind,

just to dwell for a lifetime,

Frozen in this time.

Haiku: 4 Seasons

Wintertime is cold

Chilly, cold, might even snow

Wear your winter gear

Springtime is anew

Flowers bloom and warmer days

Blue skies with Sunrays

Summer is Humid

Hot, Exhausting, and Draining,

Uncomfortable

Autumn resembles

Cooler temps and shorter days

A time for Harvest

Constrained

Release me from these shackles,

I don't need to be contained,

away from the guilt of it,

I don't need to be constrained.

Release me from the burdens,

Release me from all Fears,

Release me from these Hardships,

That I have dealth with for so many years.

Release me from Constraints of sorrow,

of shedding so many Tears,

Wishing that someone would save me,

Wishing that help was near.

Release me from Trail and error,

Release me from all doubts,

Loose me from the thought of thinking,

If the fact that there's no way out.

Constrained from Financial difficulties,

Constrained from the ware and tear,

When you're feeling down and low,

When Life is treating you unfair.

Release me from ALL CONSTRAINTS,

This is my beck and call,

Oh, Please Release ...

LIFE

What is LIFE you say???

It is something we

were given and should

CHERISH IT EVERYDAY.

It is PRECIOUS, it is SACRED,

It is ALL that we HAVE,

Treat it VERY SERIOUSLY,

We have ONE, so BE GLAD.

LIFE as we see it

is slipping away,

LIVE LIFE EVERYDAY as if

it's your LAST DAY,

BE THANKFUL for the DAYS,

Of LIFE you are LIVING,

A BLESSING FROM GOD,

A GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING

If you ARE BREATHING AIR,

then you are BLESSED,

To LIVE ANOTHER DAY, and

IN HIM JUST REST!!!

I'm Only Human

I am only Human,

Yes, things can go wrong,

Yes, I do get frustrated, but

I try to be strong.

When things don't go right,

Yes, I do get really mad,

It makes me feel really sad,

It makes me feel

irritated, aggravated

The situation can be bad.

But that's Okay because

We have all been there,

When you gave it your All and

now you just don't care.

If it doesn't work out,

there's always a solution

To figure it out and

bring it to a Resolution

When you've tried

everything and you just

don't understand if it doesn't

work out

just remember:

I AM ONLY HUMAN

NIGHTTIME POETRY!!!

Now you LAY YOURSELF down to SLEEP,

KNOWLEDGE is POWER these LYRICS are DEEP,

CLOSE YOUR EYES and COUNT THOSE SHEEP,

Don't make a SOUND, nor even a PEEP.

Close your eyes and GO TO BED,

Why you STILL UP???

"YOU HEARD WHAT I SAID!!"

If YOU'RE having a RESTLESS NIGHT,

Why don't you just START TO WRITE.

If you had a REALLY ROUGH DAY,

I suggest that YOUSHOULD PRAY,

Consult the LORD, HE'LL SEE YOU

THROUGH,

WEARY and TIRED and FEELING SO BLUE,

Get on up, and START TO WRITE,

LIFT YOUR SPIRITS and FEEL DELIGHT

OTHERS, can use some INSPIRING,

WELL, so can you,

MOST DEFINITELY!!!

Rhyming on time LIKE FLOATRY,

LAYING DOWN LINES, have NO WORRIES!!!

A POSTITIVE ASPECT, OH YES INDEED

These line WILL ENCOURAGE,

OH CAN'T YOU SEE!!!

Now, this is my

NIGHTTIME POETRY!!!

I Enjoy Writing Poetry

I enjoy WRITING POETRY because, I just do,

My WRITINGS HELP OTHERS, but

also HELPS ME TOO,

when I feel DOWN and OUT,

or GOING THROUGH,

FEELING SAD and SO LONELY and

feeling SO, SO BLUE,

Do you feel the same way??

I know that you do,

I've been in your shoes, and

I DO HAVE A CLUE.

But It'll okay, there's NO NEED for SORROW

JUST ALWAYS REMEMBER:

there's a BETTER TOMORROW,

JESUS is the ONE,

who will MAKE A WAY,

Turn your DARKENED NIGHTS,

into a BRIGHTER DAY,

Just live by HIS GRACE,

even with SKIES OF GRAY,

Just TRUST IN HIM and

CONTINUE to PRAY!!

The LITTLE THINGS in LIFE

There are the

LITTLE THINGS

in LIFE,

we seem

to NOT REALLY NOTICE.

because of the

BIG THINGS

in LIFE,

that we seem

to be MORE FOCUSED!!!

The LITTLE THINGS lead

to BIG THINGS,

as YOU can

PLAINLY SEE,

Taking BABY STEPS

instead of GIANT ONES

WILL FLOW VERY NATURALLY.

Make NOTE of the

WONDERFUL THINGS,

That are HAPPENING ALL AROUND

From the BIRDS SINGING and CHIRPING,

To the BEE'S BUZZING SOUND.

NATURE is so BEAUTIFUL

It's MOTHER NATURE'S

own PLAYGROUND,

If you PAY CLOSE ATTENTION

to THE LITTLE THINGS

YOU'LL BE AMAZED AT WHAT IS FOUND!!!!
