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: DOWN AND OUT

Down and Out Who cares to notice the penniless? Who cares how they became ripen? Griping you to their desperate chest, So jamed and bashed crossing to beg, Limps and crawls from spot to spot. . My chest flames to such doleful pleas, Clutching hooves strolling thier way, Smokes my heart to hear them cry out, ‘‘Oh how will I succeed, Oh how do I live?” “I crave you with every breath I got in me” Old and weary, young and lanky, Resting beneath bridges for warmth,  Feasting on scrap wearing tatters, Without buddies, no family, nor us, No one seem to see or care little. Having nothing that matters to the rich, Pleased with what they receive with hope,  From break to night, twenty four seven, Lay noisy tummys by slumpy gutters, If they disappeared who cares where to? Miserable basking on side walks, Faces pale like out of oxygen for days, Targets of hunger, cold and epidemic, A smile can warm a paupers lifetime, Let them in, they knock, share your little.

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
