It Was Wisdom

I was eager to meet this wonder but not prepared for what this wonder stored
I looked at it-so tiny in size and so soft on the eyes
So strong on the heart-on my heart
I looked at it and saw the light, not the light from a train
A greater light
A warm light
Only a light that illuminates from the Halos of the angels
Who knew this little wonder possessed such a humongous energy
Bigger than you and me
This energy flowed from it to me and allowed me to see 
It ran through my body beginning at my fingertips
and simultaneously chilled every cell of my composition
My heart began to take a rapid beat as fear ensued
But once I refocused my gaze on this little thing
The beat slowed as I was soothed by the eyes of this little wonder...
Of this little Wisdom.

Insufficient Funds

Am I not sufficient?
               Fulfilling, Satisfying?
Am I not attractive?
              Beautiful, Pretty?
Am I not intelligent?
              Clever, Sharp?
Am I not funny?
              Comical, Hilarious?
Am I not kind?
              Thoughtful, Considerate?
Am I not humble?
              Modest, Unpretentious?

Perhaps,
              I am not any
Because you inject me with the feeling that
              I am not plenty

Artificial Bae

Unable to breath

My heart clenched in your palm

Such a beautiful hurt

In a time all wrong

 

A master of hours

I wish it were me

It is you

For whom my heart beats

 

To the rhythm of a song

All its own

With a cadence unmatched

I'm left alone

 

I have created in my mind

A man who in time

Would requite a divine love

A divine love like mine

 

That which parallels

The immensely intense

Unadulterated love

That I've felt ever since

Let's Talk About It

Let's talk about the beef

Let's talk about the streets

Let's talk about the grief

Let's talk about the bleak

 

Let's talk about all the things that these people never see

 

Let's talk about the pain

Let's talk about the strain

Let's talk about the gain

Let's talk about the strange

 

Let's talk about the things that we say we're going to change

 

Let's talk about destruction

Let's talk about corruption

Let's talk about production

Let's talk about reconstruction

 

Let's talk about all the ways that we as a people can function

 

Let's Talk About It

False Security

If I could turn back the hours

I'd turn it to three

To a place in time

When my heart was complete

My heart was full

And your love was a drag

It was some of the best dope

I had ever had

But chaos and confusion

both ensued

It soon became clear

I was being abused

As your bag lady

I had allowed it

I took you on that high

I was your pilot

While coming down

As we made our descent

It was increasingly clear

It was you I resent

So, unto you I

Bid my fairest farewell

For it was you that waged war

May you burn in hell

Cheating: Common Misconceptions

CHEAT (v):1.) deceive somebody: to deceive or mislead somebody, especially for personal advantage
2.) be unfaithful: to have a sexual relationship with somebody other than a spouse or regular sexual partner

In light of these definitions it’s safe to say that someone who commits such acts is a cheater so why is it then that I stumble across people who seem to have come up with their own definition for the word? I’ll tell you why, because these people are idiots to say the least.

I’ve had people go so far as to tell me that it isn’t cheating if you and your significant other are in different area codes. Are you kidding me?! But wait, I’ve only had men tell me that nonsense. Aaah, yes, that explains it! Continuing, I’ve also heard that it isn’t cheating if you guys have never had sex but you’ve engaged in other sexual activities which include but are not limited to: kissing and fondling. BULLSHIT. It’s all considered cheating. If you’re in a relationship and on a date with someone (other than your partner) who you’d like to be more than just your friend then it’s cheating--I don’t care how you slice it.

What I can’t understand is why these women (and men but more so women) are so quick to run back to these men after they’ve blatantly disrespected them and showed how much they don’t give a muthafudge. WAIT, I know why, because "he loves me" so it's okay.

In other words...

This is a translation of all the most common things that guys say. You know how whenever you're having a conversation with a guy and he says one thing but you're not sure if it's genuine? Well this is what he really means:

• When are you going to come visit me?

IN OTHER WORDS: When are you coming over so I can try to have sex with you?

• Whatever happens happens.

IN OTHER WORDS: I would like sex to happen and if it doesn't what will happen is I will eventually stop talking to you.

• I'm not ready for a relationship.

IN OTHER WORDS: I'm not into you enough to make you my girlfriend but I'm always open to sex.

• I'll call you.

IN OTHER WORDS: I won't call you and if I do it'll be for my own benefit.

• You're like a sister to me.

IN OTHER WORDS: I am in no way interested in you on a sexual level. We're just friends but I'm a moron who doesn't know how to say what I mean.

• I can't give you the attention you deserve.

IN OTHER WORDS: I'm a really crappy person who has his own best interest in mind.

• I don't like everyone in my business.

IN OTHER WORDS: I'm a sneaky liar and cheater (if given the opportunity).

• (in response to "what are you doing?") Thinking about you.

IN OTHER WORDS: I wasn't thinking about you but I need to make sure I have you just where I want you.

• Stop being scary.

IN OTHER WORDS: Stop being so difficult and let's just have sex. And oh yeah, I'm an idiot with poor persuasion techniques.

• I love you.

IN OTHER WORDS: I love how you love me.

disclaimer: Now, don't get me wrong he may actually be sincere when he says any of these things but as history has shown me 8 times out of ten he really means something other than what he's saying. It's up to you to note and study carefully his actions so you can properly determine whether or not he's an "in other words" type of guy.
