Rhyme With No Reason by Curly X

This poem is dedicated to Oscar Grant and the other Oscar Grant’s

Bullets piercing the bodies of my people,
I thought the constitution said we are all equal.

Puppets in this world voicing our sad stories,
Eyeballs filled with sanction killings by police sissies.

When will the shooting stop from the hired guns,
Good men die while marksmen freely run.

Mothers hanging on to the last breath of there child,
Minutes go by and she grows more, wild.

Murders are banging Her heart to death,
Riots seem old, it outgrows the poor, and defiles.

Bigots were crushed by the hands of peaceful men,
Cries didn’t come from guns, but from there mouth and pen.

Lead an army of soldiers with guns and rocks, and we will be crushed,
Because violence begets violence, when we are rushed.

Heal our broken hearts with sage and gospel song,
The real ordeal is to fix the pain of wrong.

Forgive and forget, seems to far fetch,
But I promise, you,
Brother Killing Brother, Sister Killing Sister,
Others shooting others to enact revenge,
Its like rhyme with no reason, it doesn’t end.

Suicidal Thoughts

I seen the sunrise this morning
and it saved my life
I saw the dew on the grass change to frost
and it saved my life
its funny how things we just overlook
because we think they should be
can sometimes be the lifeline that
pulls us from the edge of insanity
i saw the rain fall and heard the tunder roar
and it saved my life
i felt the warmth of my blanket on a cold winters night
and it saved my life
don't take for granted those small things in
life
which may become when all seems lost
your guiding beacons of light.

Poem: Comes the Rain

Water laden clouds burst!

Here now, comes the rain,

but I’m loving the ‘liquid sunshine’

and ignoring the weather’s torrential bane.

Despite deluges of Life’s storms,

enjoy humanity and have some fun.

Now comes the rain, washing over us anew,

as the Spirit of the Father’s Son.

Now comes the reign of Christ -

Embrace Him and His Holiness!

Be protected by the Rock’s cleft

and submerged under His Righteousness.

Be always filled with…
