  • Teach Her These Things

    03 September 2017 ( #poetry, #BlackPower, #Lecture )

    Teach her these things Tell her about mistakes Tell her that life is a song we only sing once And most great songs had a bad draft at the beginning Tell her every lyric is important from start to ending And she could always pick up her lines no matter...

  • Teach Her These Things

    02 September 2017 ( #poetry, #BlackPower, #Lecture )

    Teach her these things Teach her about submissiveness Tell her she could get all the degrees and still be humble And though it's not a subject they teach in schoolExperience and nature will do justice to that Tell her not to be scared of men And not to...

  • Teach Her These Things

    02 September 2017 ( #poetry, #BlackPower, #Lecture )

    Teach her these things Teach her about boys/menTell her all are not the same Except she's tasted them all Tell her they're stormshields And winning their hearts this days goes beyond food and sex It now lays between character and skillfulness Tell her...

  • Teach Him These Things

    01 September 2017 ( #poetry, #BlackPower, #Lecture )

    Teach him these things Teach him about emotions Tell him it's delicate Be it his or that of another Tell him there's nothing beneficial in being a "hardman " And he can't feel the pain of others if he doesn't feel his first Teach him verbal bluntness...

  • Teach Him These Things

    01 September 2017 ( #poetry, #BlackPower, #Lecture )

    Teach him about maturity Tell him that broad biceps, a large chest and an articulate accent are no symptoms of it Tell him it starts with the heart And the body only reacts to growth changes as is expected of it Tell him to stay ripe Ripe enough understand...

  • Teach Him These Things

    01 September 2017 ( #poetry, #BlackPower, #Lecture )

    Teach him these things Teach him about girls/women Tell him they're no machines In other words, they give what is given them Tell him they're the devil best disguise But also God's favorite costume Tell him they're beautiful And should be treated as such...

  • Teach Him These Things

    01 September 2017 ( #poetry, #Lecture, #BlackPower )

    Teach him these things Teach him about hardwork Tell him of the joy that comes with being productive Tell him of the joy that comes through hardwork rather than what's being paid for More electrifying than a body being laid for Tell him he'll be more...

  • FOR HIM (THE LOVE POEM) 1

    14 March 2017 ( #poetry, #LateNightSeries )

    You are more than the I AM that you are And before beginning You began Your love is communion I partake in daily And though my heart breathes and sings contempt You bless me with new lyrics and rhymes to compose your poem You is a love song I was unworthy...

  • Remorse

    15 January 2018 ( #poetry, #Inthebeginning )

    Remorse often comes too late Just like my country’s police force Only when we’re caught When we’re stained Clothed in shame Soaked deep in the mud Then and only then We search for whom to share our shame with First we begin with lucifer We forget we had...

  • Consumption

    13 January 2018 ( #poetry, #Inthebeginning )

    Prevention is better than cure they say Not sure this applied to you then anyway Sin comes slowly like the night And gradually owns the spot in your heart But funny enough, Lucifer doesn’t force us into it I mean does he? He only presents himself, disguised...

  • Poisonous Berry

    12 January 2018 ( #poetry, #Inthebeginning )

    So I asked, Why does sin look so tasty, poisonous berry Why does wrong feel right always How come we know it’s wrong but still engage in it anyways Are we overwhelmed by the pleasure than the consequence? Or do we think the repercussion lacks adequate...

  • Clueless

    09 January 2018 ( #poetry, #Inthebeginning )

    He was happy; They were happy At least for the first parts of it For the best parts of it Most times, With great favor comes less value We only see the value of it if there’s a price tag on it HIS love was free Given to man on a platter of clear conscience...

  • Eve Is Here

    06 January 2018 ( #poetry, #Inthebeginning )

    This is silent music The softer side of him The invader of his attained privacy She balances the equation This is the ready made Not from dust but from him This is a gift far from priceless And when she enters the room even time freezes Her beauty waves...

  • In The Beginning

    01 January 2018 ( #poetry, #Inthebeginning )

    There he lays Like a slumbering whisper Fully empty This is Man Life at it’s debut This is earth Soil; Genesis of all things fertile and beautiful The very likeness of all divine This is when GOD smiles This is art The art of lying in state When dust...

  • Create

    02 January 2018 ( #poetry, #Inthebeginning )

    Wake up and create Wake up I say Birth your thoughts into life Wheel ideas into action Halt the fear; Trespass the signs that read CAUTION Stare into the dark Wide eyed Make beauty from nothing Just like the times you built castles in the sand For just...

  • Charcoal

    04 June 2018 ( #poetry, #Black-ish )

    photocredit- artnews africa Drown me back in charcoal For henceforth, my body refuses to be counterfeit, A judas to itself. Remind me of who I am and where I come from. Start with my skin, then to my mind, back to my skin again, and then inside. Heal...

  • Orb

    03 June 2018 ( #poetry, #Black-ish )

    photocredit- legacybros Black drips from off your body, like a runaway milk from a peak can. Bleeding zinc, torn, pouring deep into every other breathing container Leaving trails behind, telling tales of you and those before. In this orb of leaking melanin,...

  • Contagious

    18 January 2018 ( #poetry, #Inthebeginning )

    Sin is contagious And yes we never see the chaos that comes until after consumption Sin is sweetened Maybe that’s why it purges Maybe that’s why gold is not all that glitters Maybe he never asked Maybe he believed in her too much Too engrossed in the...

  • Who goes first

    11 January 2018 ( #poetry, #Inthebeginning )

    Did you see him? Or did he see you first I mean the serpent Was it his fault entirely or Do you share the blame? Eve talk to me Maybe I can help Maybe GOD can understand this time Curiosity kills the cat they say But yours was different Yours paved a...

  • People like us

    31 December 2017 ( #poetry, #Qthenarrative )

    People like us have learnt to expect the worst We have trained our brows never to stand in stunning And our ears bullet proof to oddities For us extraordinary is normal People like us are never caught off guard Our backs are accustomed to sun lashes We...

  • Single And Saved

    29 December 2017 ( #poetry, #Qthenarrative )

    Whoever said marriage was ultimate? Why do we tie fulfillment to wedding gowns? In a culture where it seems the highest trophy A world where single and aged means cursed Nuptial rings do not define peace If you need it, look within For how long do we...

  • Official

    27 December 2017 ( #poetry, #Qthenarrative )

    “It’s official, we’re dating” I wasn’t so sure if it were love or a contract So I asked… Whoever said love was business Will they be a time where we need endorsements to express us? Does the whole world need to know that our fingerprints match? What went...

  • Identity

    22 December 2017 ( #poetry, #Qthenarrative )

    I have no English name Not because I’m under exposed or over primitive But; But because my English name is a name too I won’t change the course of my identity to fit into society’s curriculum And no I don’t feel odd nor ashamed For I carry my heritage...

  • Body Labels

    20 December 2017 ( #poetry, #Qthenarrative )

    Whoever said Lefti’s were left over’s? Crumbs from the table meant for devourers Whoever said left were the devils side; impotent And right was that of the Most high; effective Whoever shared these parts so well? So well we all keyed into it Since when...

  • Prayers

    29 November 2017 ( #poetry, #BlackPower )

    I pray your sun never finds it’s setting And that you learn to uphold yourself like blackmagic I pray that you never grow beauty barren That your smiles know no menopause I pray that each ounce of you rises above cloud 9 That you collide with love every...
