POEM: ATTAINED NOTHINGNESS (PT 2)

ATTAINED NOTHINGNESS 
(I Feel Like This)
 
I feel like this
Somewhat not always
Yet the appearances are with colored stripes
For the best times the stripes are accepted

I feel like this,
Analytically the peach stripe would fit us both
Lovely is the warmth blue stripes
Still I wait wishful of only a moment again

I feel like this, 
The greenness of the next proposal
Furnished only for the best in purple regalia
I can't wait for the endured torment to end, 
Waste becomes me not

I feel like this, 
Red stripes are never entwined purposefully,
The stripes just appears & must be taken off, 
Thick and reddish, penetration of only machines
Wiped off excitedly in entirety,
Yet in glee the black dark underground envelopes’ also

I feel like this,
Darkened the black atmosphere clouds it all
The scene light quick to fade?
Illumination and emergence of light, 
Its incomprehensive, light dominates


I feel like this, 
Days when play of pink and purple do not cease, 
Exquisite and classy,  in all glamour,
Unique genders that is inseparable
Wonder how it so short a season memorable


I still feel like this,
Scathing elements of the rainbow colors,
World characterizes the rainbow,
Smiley yellow sun, 
Bleak grey dewy weather, 
Brown snowflakes brings natural freshness,


I feel like this,
Wisdom is profitable to direct,
The smiles of being in place,
Ignorance to better purpose and bliss,
A taste to last for entirety for greater erect,

I feel like this,
Gold becomes finer  for its glory,
Likewise for me as works becomes ease
Continuity as the ants’ steadiness,
Then, 
For all its worth
It attained more than nothingness

POEM: LONG POEM FOR PEACE (PT IV)

Long Poem For Peace (PT4) I am awake I know you don't like me , you don't like this get up and leave you will find I will follow you right into your dreams you will no longer hide and wash your hands in innocence our cause, our reasons, our way of life its always the same side its your side its just a finger on the trigger quick snap dead explanation and a few civilians killed by mistake I'll be a mountain of bloody legs blown off by land mines resurrected arms and hands, shattered severed heads raining down I have the strength of all the men killed the innocence of the children the raging sorrow of the mothers the sadness of the fathers when they realize that it is their own sad art that paints this picture its the cold kiss of death I will kiss you this morning in the big ditch in the field you will stand beside in the cold dawn its your own child's eyes you see looking up at you its a crack, a thud the kiss moves down the line you...

POEM: Long Poem For Peace (PT 2)

Long Poem For Peace (PT2) D on't tell me I don't know I am awake I am here to haunt you dead child cold blue child dead destroyed baby girl shrapnel blue deep pits above her eyes a hole in her face and an arm gone ragged don't tell me any thing I am awake this isn't an idea the fires of hell are kept lit by you fools you know who you are but you did not count on me I will stop you now In this early morning hour I know I will tell no one I will sleep and gather into a force of truth afraid beyond words young and dead no lover's arms to return to only you standing at a marble headstone I wont leave you alone the chopper settled in the gooks nest high as a kite the air was bath water the smell was gasoline and swamp it was fun incoming was buzzing but the tie sticks and beer took the afternoon just hit the ground in the raging dust empty the clip run stumble and fly into the shade the world is pounding, one big heart beat still...

POEM: COULD I BUT SHOW YOU

COULD I BUT SHOW YOU                 Could I but show you how a word can grow into a thorn that lodges deep within? The softest places of the hardest men, you wouldn't be so quick to let one go. In silences, defenceless and alone, security and self-esteem descend; ambitions cease and aspirations bend in the victims of a fatal verbal blow.                     If I could show you how a word can rise - bring laughter, bring excitement, bring rapport, bring nations out of poverty and war - perhaps your speech would seek a different guise. What problems of this world could be deterred if we revered the value of a word?            By Corey Harvard
