  • Letting You Hold What’s Yours

    Man reading poetry titled Letting You Hold What's Yours

    (Poem) “Letting You Hold What’s Yours”

    My Inspiration for writing this poem Titled: “Letting You Hold What’s Yours” is I had to let go and separate what happened to me from who I am.

    Author: Wyshandra Glaze

    I lay down this burden for those who wanted to see me fold, to pick up and tote… It is not my duty to release my soul for you to feel whole… I will not trade in my big beautiful wings for those handcuffs carved in gold.. Telling me that the caterpillar has grown enough and that those wings are just a little too bold.. I heard that’s what you told the whole fold.. One by one, I watched those colorful wings get tucked away or clipped in order to sell an orchestrated show. All along your colorful wings were what made you the one to behold. The only problem is, those wings, were your soul. You wanted me to believe that I was the one imprisoned in an unbreakable woe because so many have been coerced  to vote cold in your polls… Speak your lies, try to diminish me,  but I am too smart, too wholesome, too incorruptible for you to ever be able to overshadow the reason why the Most High continues to allow me to be the concrete rose. I am still good within and that is the reason why deep down you can never truly feel the win; although, you filled your sweaty rows in a way that I have never been able to control. What you should know by now, is this is spiritual and your demons are not able to prevail over the light listed on the Most High’s role.  That is the real reason why, after all this time, and all of the evil you imposed, you still fail to feel like you have reached your wicked goals. My soul is whole!  All along, I received so much hate because people let go of hope and my presence still trying to float gives light to the blinding road. But it was easier to close your eyes and allow technology to take it slow on your soul as you indulge. You see the things about the light within; it does not dim because another chooses to scold. My conscience is as clean as the blade I chose not to throw. I am the one that’s free! I continue to go after my life, as you use your life, to go after me. My pose is worthy. I watch the trees blow as you watch me glow. I am the one that’s Free. My wings are more colorful now than before your go, at trying to bring me low. So, I let go of what is and always was, your burden to hold.

  • Divine Beings

    (Poem) “Divine Beings”

    What this poem means to me is connection and appreciation to myself and all divine beings.

    Author: Shonda

    Yellow, blue and green. I am supreme. I am the divine queen that shines bright like the suns beam. My blue tears waters the grass growing in spring. Yellow, blue, and green but humble above all things.. My warmth giving the birds strength to chirp. My rivers of wisdom, quenching the children of the earth. The seeds I birth are like the caterpillar who grew wings. Yellow, blue, and green but humble above all things. Scorching hot without trees. Without my river, green begins to cease. Yellow, blue, and green, we are a team indeed, but humble above all things.

  • Where Love Exist

    Man reading poetry titled Becoming Peace

    (Poem) “Where Love Exist”

    My Inspiration for writing this poem Titled: (Where Love Exist) is reality is more fake than my fantasies.

    Author: Urban Poems

    Find me in wonderland. A world created in my mind, A world I can withstand… A world where it’s real when we hold hands… Where we beat drums and play flutes like one band… Where when we cry it’s real and not to gain fans..  Here we don’t have two faced game plans.. We don’t scream for the people and shake hands with the same oppressors that will break your mans..  We grow food from the earth and build strong houses on our own land.. Where every person got a real chance…  opportunities to advance in farmland and not how many people can I brand to a corrupted political stance.. Where a jealous spirit have no legs to stand and the human on the other side is free to dance… where torture is banned… Where we reprimand in love..  A fantasy, I understand. I don’t care to look out in the waking world where every man can get it, especially the innocent, the fatherless, the motherless, those left behind, those who only hold one voice, their own in their broken hands… I will stay here in wonderland.

  • Is It Too Much?

    Men and Women reciting a poem titled: Is it too much?

    (Poem) “Is It Too Much?”

    Author: Jim Kelly

    A question for our ancestral slavers
    From my brown sisters, brothers, cousins—
    from all of us,
    still bearing the weight
    of history
    on our backs
    and in our blood—

    Is it too much to ask
    for our love,
    our loyalty,
    a lifelong obligation—

    to repay debts
    for the mere fact
    of our existence?

    4 July 2025
    Jim Kelly

    Author’s Commentary:
    “Is It Too Much?” was written as a quiet but firm confrontation—a question posed not in
    anger, but in clarity. It reflects the enduring emotional and psychological burdens that
    descendants of enslaved people carry, and the audacity of expecting gratitude or loyalty in
    the absence of historical reckoning. Written on July 4th, it challenges the nation’s
    celebration of freedom while so many still carry chains made of memory, injustice, and
    silence.

    Quoted Message From Author: I watch. I write from the perspective 71-year-old African American. Poems inspired by childhood pain, protest, policy, and the people who get left behind.

    Reader thoughts: This poem titled: Is It Too Much? is heartfelt and gives a voice to the oppressed. There is nothing more inspiring than being able to acknowledge African American cuts are still bleeding and in many cases reopened. The first step is acknowledging.

  • Hidden Souls

    Man reading poetry titled hidden souls

    (Poem) “Hidden Souls”

    My Inspiration for writing this poem Titled: Hidden Souls is sometimes I wonder why did the Most High put it in my heart to want to be a decent human when there are so many road blocks in choosing that course.

    Author: Urban Poems

    My cards I turn face down, hidden in the silence of sound..
    My speech is bound, because my spirit must stand still on open ground.. I go inward to treat my wounds.. At times allowing my tears to go, for another round.. and My cards I turn face down.. in an unfair race of life and death my spirit holds its frown, afraid to turn to the lost and found.. because to be found by man I will be forced to reject brown tears and be a hand to confound my peers.. With my pleas to unite rejected by whole towns.. With chaos being all I see around.. My cards I turn face down.. I know that what is in my spirit is right but with no more strength to fight, turning my back forced, I lounge.. unable to move without the help of another noun.. Unable to fold.. My cards I turn face down..

  • Answer To Your Question

    Man reading poetry titled Answer To Your Question

    (Poem) “Answer To Your Question”

    My Inspiration for writing this poem Titled: ‘Answer To Your Question’ is I support freedom of speech.

    Author: Urban Poems

    I can’t share the guilt you feel for persecuting me without a crime.. you tell me to vibe high but hate to see my due process of crying.. You asked me “Who are you?” when I was never the one hiding.. I heard what you Really said through the shield of words. You, are really hurt. While telling me to smile the whole time you relied on and needed tears in my eyes.. As soon as I started to climb out of the gutter of binds you came back and argued with yourself 3 times.. and from my perception your perception is the definition of lying.. I’m sorry I can’t hurt for you anymore. I can’t be the one you look to and feel better because at one point I felt worse than you. I hope you feel better, this is me replying from my point of view. This cue is and always was Freedom of speech I’m reciting.. this is not personal I appreciate you for using your words too, from yours true, kindly.

    Readers thoughts: This poem inspired me to understand that freedom of speech is a right we all have and should never be treated as a crime.

  • We’re Listening- “My Love”

    woman reading poem titled: We're Listening- My Love

    (Poem) We’re Listening- “My Love”

    My love. . . -We listen with our thoughts and hearts/ When your worlds are softer and true
    When what falls from your lips comforts and soothes
    We listen carefully and quietly when your intentions are not emasculating and dark
    For you will always be the sweetest Whisper, the sweetest of Whispers in our hearts
    We are quick to convey our love
    When what you’re speaking is like the morning dew
    You’re constantly pulling our heart’s strings when we know your respect for us is
    something old and something new. ️

    You must know that there’s a force of darkness
    Trying hard to erase the unity of us
    Attempting to separate the truest meaning of love that comes only from above
    But what we need from you
    Are constructive conversations about us
    Not one-sided words of aggression
    That limits who we are

    There’s a kindness we both possess when we’re composed, and assurance is felt.
    When we know we have each other’s back, front, sides, and everywhere else

    So please let this animosity fade with positivity and faith.

    I’ll place the rose petals before your feet as you bask in reassurance and grace. ©

  • When Rare Diamonds Go Unnoticed

    Girl reading poem When Rare Diamonds Go Unnoticed

    (Poem) “When Rare Diamonds Go Unnoticed”

    “The psychological trauma of
    diminishing self-worth
    within any culture or ethnicity is
    self-destructive and inevitable,
    leaving a void filled with confusion
    and mental anguish.”
    -paul a. felix sr. 2023.28.01

    “When Rare Diamonds Go Unnoticed”
    When rare diamonds go unnoticed
    Darkness increases to cover the
    True beauty and purpose of
    a thing
    -Violence is the only knowledge of
    Mad men, their understanding is
    An unjust weight
    -Deplorable, disgusting, a stench
    In the nostrils of justice were liberty
    Is often denied
    -Where eyes once filled with hope
    And liveliness is darkened by
    Irretrievable deeds of souls
    Broken and hardened by the
    elements of self-hatred

    -What escape do they seek
    In hope of a borrowed redemption
    Where darkness excludes the
    entrance of light
    -We’re reminded that animation
    And expiration is vying for the
    Same position
    -Wielding anomalies of past
    Aggressions and proclivities
    Where humiliation and shame
    Remains stagnant
    -The breadth and width of our
    Existence is as colorized
    Vapors, sealed and compressed
    In an hourglass horizontally placed
    -Immovable is a lesson
    unlearned

    Mapping the trials of life
    Like tattoos newly placed
    on ageless skin

    The irrevocable fallacies of
    The mindless man is often

    Weightier than the desire
    To live

    Provoking the spirit of
    Judas to arise and defend
    What self-condemnation
    has swallowed. ©

    Dedicated: To all the slain Brothers and Sistaz and victims of the Criminalities of
    corrupt policing practices and unjustified killings of our fellow citizens.
    Bloodshed of the innocent is an abomination! (Proverbs 6:17)

  • This Is Still My Voice

    girl reading poem titled: This Is Still My Voice

    (Poem) “This Is Still My Voice”

    Author: Doreen O’Neill

    I have dyslexia.
    My thoughts have always been…
    those of an artist —
    but they don’t always
    come out clean.

    Sometimes they rush.
    Tangle.
    Freeze.
    Or scatter across the page
    before I can catch them.
    But they are still mine.

    I see in pictures.
    Feel…
    everything.
    Taste the weather.
    Carry music
    in my chest.

    My mind is a film,
    a painting,
    a long run
    through fields
    with ideas
    flying past.

    I’m neurodiverse.
    I think differently.
    That doesn’t mean I’m broken.
    That doesn’t mean I’m less.

    I remember —
    being a child
    in school —
    tiny hand gripping
    a big blue biro
    in my LEFT hand.
    And a teacher…
    placing it firmly in my right.
    Telling me,

    “Write properly.”
    But I couldn’t grasp it.
    That’s why now,
    I use both hands
    to write
    my truth.

    So why —
    when I use AI
    to shape my thoughts —
    do people act like
    I’m cheating?

    Do you shame a runner
    for using a prosthetic leg?
    No.
    You cheer.

    AI helps me express
    what’s already there.
    It listens.

    Sorts my feelings.
    And helps me give them form.

    The school system
    never knew what to do with us.
    It measured spelling —
    not soul.
    It didn’t see the art
    burning in our right-side brains.

    I’ve always loved art.
    Music.
    Mary Oliver’s The Journey.
    Beethoven.
    Jazz.
    Unbearable Lightness of Being.
    Running.

    Now —
    I walk in wild places…
    and feel

    every
    leaf.

    Would you tell Einstein
    his spelling made him small?
    Or Frida Kahlo
    her pain didn’t matter?
    Would you say
    my way of thinking
    isn’t valid
    because it moves
    in colour?
    In texture?
    In story?

    This…
    is still my voice.
    No less.
    No weaker.
    Just wired…
    differently.

    And now,
    finally,
    I have the tools
    to let it sing.

    Quoted From Doreen: I’m a 60-year-old writer and spoken-word poet with dyslexia.
    Words have always lived inside me—more as images, textures, emotions—than in perfect grammar or spelling.

    Readers thoughts: Firstly I would like to say this poem is powerful. With that, this poem titled: “This Is Still My Voice” inspires me as a reader to see the beauty in each and every difference and similarities.

  • “It’s a perspective thing”

    Boy reading poem titled: “It's a perspective thing”

    (Poem) ““It’s a perspective thing””

    Mfs like to victimize!, create all types of storms then try to run and cry, prolly shoulda dressed
    more appropriate for the weather outside! or you can just dig deep inside where accountability
    lies and accept that you caused your own demise. We all have decisions to make for our very
    own betterment. It’s no one’s fault if you don’t know what’s best for you or yours, cuz your own
    worth and self love determines that. Whatever bridged, burned is no longer my concern. I’m only
    building and learning done with putting together pieces that are meant to be broken. We are all
    humans and everybody makes mistakes! But true growth always comes from acknowledging the
    part you played. It’s so easy to play the blame game when you don’t wanna be held
    accountable. I have no problem with saying ” I fucked up” or ” I know better”. A lot of individuals
    are in the “knowing” and still refuse to do better. Lessons aren’t lost so even when it’s a lil
    stormy I look forward to the nice weather. Step into the light, ain’t gotta be intimidated by my
    energy just understand that fucking with me, gone get you some shit that you don’t want but
    need. I talk how talk cuz I’m forced to dumb shit down, Hmu when you wanna listen to some shit
    that will shake ya soul! I’ll be around, I walk wit a lil stroll cuz I ain’t scared to hit the ground,
    been there done that I’m playing for keeps, ain’t no going back and naw I can’t match ya nasty
    ass energy. Never thought I was better than the next, I just came a long way! Grateful for a
    peace of mind so these thoughts gotta get expressed. I feel like if you think somebody thinks
    they’re better than you then maybe it’s true because I always felt like everybody was my equal.
    But I can only speak for myself. I learned a long time ago that I have a different point of view. I’ll
    never judge ya for shit! do you boo boo, I respect mfs who ain’t afraid to step into the light, even
    with a dim light you’ll shine just not as bright, cuz sometimes shit takes time to get right!
    Perspective is everything is all I’m saying….

  • Who Are You

    Girl reading poem Titled: Who Are You

    (Poem) “Who Are You?”

    Author: Dezalita Ranee Green

    Would you believe me if I told you that I know exactly who you are! I see past the
    facades, yeah life’s been hard but every time the big man wakes you up, that’s your chance to a
    fresh start! I get that you’re mentally frustrated and emotionally scarred. But as long as there’s
    life in your body, you gotta play your part.
    Whatever happened to you, already did! I’m so sorry that your trauma always makes you think
    back to when you were a kid, but this is reality ya dig?… Nobody at this date should have to pay
    for what you’ve been through! It happened, let it go! Not for them but for you. You either can
    pass out hate or decide to be great!
    Just understand that what you give is what you get! It’s time to be intentional, you gotta
    be more precise. You can blame whoever if you want, but at the end of the day, it’s your life. You
    can only get hurt when you focus on hurt, that’s the law of attraction, now it’s time to take action
    on what you desire.
    Whoever told you that you didn’t deserve to be happy was a liar, you have to make a
    choice to vibrate higher. Don’t you wanna get back to that person before the pain and trauma and
    rainy days? You gotta pray and focus on the good, because playing victim will only leave you
    yearning to be saved. How long are you gonna let the wounds from your past hold you down? In
    order to heal, you have to acknowledge that mfs treated you how they felt on the inside. You
    have to claim the strength behind that trauma in order to restore that love, confidence, and trust
    back into yourself, even if you take it slowly. You’ve been lost for a while, I get it. But now it’s
    time to take a stand and figure out who you are! Because what you’ve been through should never
    determine that!

    Reader thoughts – This poem Titled: Who are you -? inspires me as a reader and reminds me of a movie I watched recently. In the movie the man became blind as a child and his dad would tell him to turn his weakness into his strength. Never stop being as best a person as you can be; a gentle nature can be a weakness, a gentle nature can be strength. A brute nature may scare away a beast but a brute nature will also scare away the butterfly of peace.

  • Unapologetically Black

    Man Standing reading poetry Titled: Unapologetically Black

    (Poem) “Unapologetically Black”

    Unapologetically Black

    Constantly reminding myself what it means to be darker than what society has deemed beautiful

    From Bodegas in NYC
    the melting pot of the universe

    To narrow minded southern cities tucked away in “American “tradition

    My kind ain’t right
    Hair loc’d , lips asymmetrical
    Black is what my momma made me
    Proud to be who I am

    500 years can’t define
    My race, creed nor religion

    I stand a fixed in a place destined to gentrify my community

    Oppress my ken folk
    Leave my brother in the prison industrial complex

    Make it hard for him to learn the realities of the world outside a jungle context

    Dying to be free from the oppressor
    All I know to fathom is how to be the lesser

    Of 2 evils
    My patience running thin

    Knowing WHAT we represent

    Oshun
    Osiris

    Warriors , leaders, inventors
    Melanin worth more than gold

    I stand a fixed forever

    Unapologetically Black

    (Poem) “What I Mean”

    My Inspiration for writing this poem Titled: “What I Mean” is what I think of when I think of peace.

    Author: Urban Poems

    This peace is easy.. like the way the leaves blow when it’s breezy.. sometimes she tingles in my brain just to tease me.. like how the healing from the warm sun can freeze me.. in mid stride I pause and breathe in God’s peace when he feeds me.. When it comes to him I’m greedy.. I read his word like I’m needy.. I plant his seeds in my heart deep.. I don’t compete because art has a specific heart beat.. Needing only God to feel complete.. This is what I mean when I say I’m free..

    Author: Urban Poems

    Desirae I just want you to know, what you see at your worst is true.. Its a cruel world it hurts.. don’t let nobody tell you that hate is love or reverse.. The truth is love is rare on this earth.. but don’t let that get you down in the dirt.. because the image of perfection is the real curse.. when you decide to die they won’t say a word.. but when you choose to live they line up to break your courage..

    (Poem) “Hidden Gem”

    My Inspiration for writing this poem Titled: Hidden Gem is how at one point I could feel a form of confidence and then I discovered the true meaning.

    Author: Urban Poems

    I used to think that confidence was a feeling to be spent.. but she was a dirty bitch, only to the money would she consent.. Making love to her gave me the respect I grew to love and resent.. She was hair and nails done and a car that I could only afford to rent.. I liked the way she spoke in my defense.. She even made them fear me in a sense.. Through their eyes she drew compliments.. but most of all she was a secure fence, from questions, from judgement, she could mold an audience only to hide my soul from its own intent.. until one day I realized the clothes she gave me were not mine but were lent.. What she gave me was an image while the real thing hid in its own suspense.. The image was always an expense while confidence the real thing didn’t cost a cent.. When I met her it was intense like meeting the real me renewed without the dents.. Now I don’t listen to mankind because they were all quiet when my mind was bent.. I used to look in the mirror and see a face but now I see a soul in my defense.

    (Poem) “Sunflower Seed”

    My Inspiration for writing this poem Titled: (Sunflower Seed) Is in the past I never really considered the life of a bird.

    Author: Urban Poems

    The colors of the birds I adore.. I look at them and wonder about the ventures they explore..
    I wonder if the ease of their stride matches the life they must endorse.. or are they misunderstood..
    some drowning for a drink of water because for them too taking a risk to learn to live is a part of the course.
    Now when I look at them I see what a survivor can be made of..
    From the way they fly I can see if there is a warrior inside the core..
    The one that almost drowned but won against the tug of the water soaking its wings, while drowning it, draining its life source,
    but something inside refused to be weakened by what at one point he thought was a greater force..
    Now he soars different.. stronger than before.. Now I understand him.. Now I see him..
    He is no longer a them or an it, but an individual who I can feel.
    Now he is no longer just a bird because his inner being won a great war.
    No he is much more.

    (Poem) “Let’s Talk”

    My Inspiration for writing this poem Titled: (Let’s Talk) is despite all of the amazing work put in from our Great freedom fighters of all races the hate in this country never diminished but only hid itself behind law and order.

    Author: Urban Poems

    Let’s talk about the other segregation. In Coretta’s own words is worse than segregation. In 2025, still in rotation. Its covert disguise hides behind what I call the watchlist generation. O yeah this is a needed conversation. First off let’s call what it is once again nothing new its called discrimination. Remember this history repeats “we must be hateful to protect this Great Nation.” To make it all okay, attack the target’s reputation. The tactics of abuse mimic a prison’s isolation. Now let’s talk about which group is chosen for this slavery occasion.. Let’s just say it also mimics the prison situation. It is also used to close court cases. Sounds familiar “Don’t take it to trial, plead guilty because your odds are 30 years or 3 years probation.” If there is no evidence and you’re innocent and broke you can sit in prison for 3 years awaiting a possible salvation simply because you chose to take your chance with litigation, and lets not forget the targeted aggravation. and let’s talk about the goals of the other segregation, is to make exercising your rights into a mental retardation. The other segregation is the same segregation, targeted humiliation, the only difference is covert association.

    My Inspiration for writing this poem Titled: Make It Matter is in the past I decided not to participate in a rigged game; then I realized I was allowing it to remain rigged by not participating where it matters. Credit to Coretta Scott King for telling her story which inspired my change of heart.

    Author: Urban Poems

    Allow me to correct the old me. The version who thought only of the power of an individual forgetting there is no power without unity. Fighting every battle like its me against the world, me against racism built into a system. So yeah I told myself why vote when electoral votes take priority over the majority. But that is for who will be president but we decide who will fill the legislatures. We decide the seniority. We choose the prosecutor in authority. We decide which judge presides. We choose who will be fair and orderly. I looked to the top of the mountain before climbing and realizing that I too have some power in defining. The battle is first lost in the mind. You lose when you believe you have no part in refining and designing our society into a place where every human is given a fair assignment. Let’s never forget the righteous convictions that once defeated division spoken by the Great Martin Luther king Jr. “Give us the ballot and we will transform the silent misdeeds of the bloodthirsty mobs into the calculated good deeds of orderly citizens.” Lets not forget the great words of the Great Fred Shuttlesworth “You have to be prepared to die before you can begin to live.” Their courageous decisions gave us permission. Even President Kennedy understood the mission.  Each generation has to do their part to complete the freedom vision.

    My Inspiration for writing this poem Titled: Gold Standard is racism still targets the people who just want to see a restored humanity.

    Author: Urban Poems

    They segregate and isolate me so that no one bats an eye when they rape me. When they castrate me of my womanhood they paint in my blood the permission to hate me. As I try to stop the blades from penetrating they say her cry’s are volatile, her tears are not real she feels no pain. After they take from me they say she has nothing standing in the court of law with no family is proof that she is guilty so that they can feel a sense of justice when they forsake me. Whether or not she committed the crime we have scraped away her grace she is no longer human now when I look at her I no longer see her face. Surrounded by a climate of hate placed in courtrooms and convicted without a case. I will tell you why they conspired to suffocate me and chased me to exasperate my tears until my eyes were dry and then they say i told you, she feels no pain it is okay for us to take and berate, she is not a woman, she is nothing but an ape! I say you will never break me, I am a woman. Your concentration to deface me only proves that I am the gold standard to the human race. I am a woman. My Elohiym hears me when I pray. You haven’t taken my ability to look at another human and relate. I feel connected to the best of the best, the connection with all of my freedom fighters, that, you can not confiscate. Connected to the present and history our fight is one, our voices our tears, our stories will forever congregate. We will clean each other’s wounds from your blade, as we strategize and facilitate.  Together we feel each other’s pain, joy and together our souls cry and elate. After all you took from me I know for sure my value you can not pay it is far too great, too sophisticated. I am the definition of 1st place.

    My Inspiration for writing this poem Titled: Corporate Stolen Waters is the crabs are already running the world attempting to keep the rest of society in the bucket.

    Author: Urban Poems

    Corruption’s delusion is defined as recreating memories by designing stories with deductions. Jealous and greedy minds at the top looking down making excuses to unleash the heart of destruction. Slowly dissolving love, truth, intuition and righteous instructions… the sensitive in spirit holding clear sight and hearing ears are targeted by weapons of obstruction. Succubus needing to feed constantly, drinking the feeling of another humans eruption. Only able to be satisfied for a moment destroying souls starts to become a sexual seduction. So what do we do? What do you do if your smile is real in the presence of a predator’s appetite eating everyone else to place all blessings in reduction. So focused on destroying but still needing genuine hearts and souls for production. What do we do? If they want your whole cup unaccepting of proportions. When they don’t want to deal with their own hurt and distortions?
    The only way to justify their decisions is to prove that you too will crack under this world of extortion. We must stay real on the inside, to pave the way, for the righteous seed to restore wins.

    Author: Urban Poems

    Eyes are the windows to the soul.
    While a voice is the house of tales never heard… Through the voice, old spirits emerge…
    Some are wise, some are cursed.
    Some are both trying to merge…
    Some hold innocence, some hold a anger continually on the verge… Some are hurt.
    Familiar spirits blow the horns of the first…
    The voice is as ancient as the earth…
    Within a small child lives sounds of the spirit entered at birth…
    Through the voice the spirit is exposed although the hiding of is rehearsed…
    Each and every spirit, good and bad fights for their turn to be free of thirst..
    Soft and gentle is the hug in which a serpent can lurk…
    Soft and gentle is where love is dispersed…
    The voice reveals what the tone thinks to purge.

  • I Won’t Hate You

    (Poem) “I Won’t Hate You”

    My Inspiration for writing this poem Titled: (I Won’t Hate You) is if you hang me, it will be simply because you wanted to and not because you are a savior.

    Author: Urban Poems

    I will not hate you
    I won’t use my silence to break you
    I know what feeds you… cause the just to use violence to justify the evil that made you…
    I have no alliance to the choice to let it take you…
    I wont hurt you… My voice wont be compliant… I wont degrade you… Your riots will make you face you…
    I wont hurt you…
    I wont become the tyrant giving way for the dark to cave you… there is no excuse, choose to save you…
    My defiance is not for you, but the spirit who invades you… I won’t hurt you… They wont use my hands to escape truth… It is not me who wants to stake you… I wont hate you…

  • Call em out

    Call em out

    (Poem) “Call em out”

    Individuals don’t like being called out, personally I think it’s healthy. I don’t mind telling a mf that they are acting funny at that moment and they can tell me to shit.
    Embarrassment is just an emotion, can’t always get in your feelings when somebody calls you out for not acting the way you are supposed to. shidddd, each one teaches one we all gotta learn.

    I don’t mind someone telling me I’ve stepped out of my lane. I rather come to you with how I’m feeling then sit back and complain, so I call ’em out. Some people may feel like what another person is doing is none of their concern but when that person is in your vibrational bubble what they got going on can easily be transferred!! And a lot mfs be know what they are doing before you call them out;

    they just don’t expect you to call ! I dont think it’s ok with knowing, but not doing better so if calling you out sets you on fire then baby you finna burn. Not telling a mf how they got me fucked up just to keep the peace is way beyond me, i rather a mf call me out then hold it in and resent me. Everybody shit stinks mfs act like the only people that can call them out is a perfect mf, when it ain’t even bout that, it’s more about Growth!

    You can’t grow without being exposed because Growth requires transparency. I’ll never burn a bridge with somebody who boldly tells me about me because I wanna be the best version of myself, and sometimes the closest people to you see things about you that you can’t quite see especially if you have that mentality like ” that’s just me”, that’s fine and all just gotta be ok with being called out otherwise you stunting your growth.

  • Ethnic Memory

    Ethnic Memory

    (Poem) “Ethnic Memory”

    I feel your pain
    smell the swelter that rises on a
    afternoon in a wooden slave shack
    hear chains in the metal sweat box,
    a human bake oven,
    fueled by the intense heat of a day’s hatred
    shiny backs stinging with salt, blood, and earth under a relentless
    southern sun
    as Miss Lillie fans herself in a shaded knoll.
    Your back ached,
    deformed by subservience,
    shoulders sloped like some fourth-class non-human,
    as you cut the cane that kept Miss Lillie.
    This was wretchedness
    locusts whistling in merciless highs
    and the humidity of rivers kissing your pores
    200-years, not long
    slavery’s undefinable sadness still exists
    What would I have been?
    field hand
    breeder
    cook
    mistress
    wet nurse
    rebel
    house servant
    runaway who was hung or punished
    Suppose I was born with a handicap or blind, incapable of
    physical servitude
    unfit for sale
    Would they drown me as a child?
    That may have been a blessing.

    Author: Urban Poems

    I plucked my eyes out in order to see without a leash.
    I rather go blind, before I bow to your binds.
    Instead of using my eyes to see, I use my spirit to become discreet.

  • Vibe High

    Written poem titled vibe high

    (Poem) “Vibe High”


    Vibe high or die trying mfs in denial with their presentations so they live in illusions instead of actually producing anything, like getting married but disregarding the vows, mfs like to fill roles that make them feel powerful not even realizing that all the power they needed was already inside of them. Pssssh! Everybody “grown” till it’s time to GROWN. How can you live an abundant life if you can’t let what’s not meant for you go! How can you heal from trauma that you don’t even accept? You gotta be like yeah that happen to me but that’s not who I am! You gotta believe that your pain is not your whole story! Trying to put band aids on mental damage makes you vibe low and damage. “Hurt people hurt people” is just a lame ass excuse for a low vibrating mf to be evil. What you’ve been through should never be an excuse to be nasty, it’s gotta lift you up! Vibe high or die trying. I rather vibe high, I move around the naysayers and make away! I get what I give just not in a materialistic way? Ah MF gone pay for some shit that’s irresistible to their soul!! But when your spirit ain’t right, there’s some shit you just can’t afford. I’m a different breed, don’t get defensive when a MF talk shit about me cuz I expect them too, you too! I know exactly who I am and I choose to vibe high! In direct, will never gain my respect, I only pay attention to eye contact. Vibe high or die trying don’t worry about if a person ain’t who you want them to be just only accept the shit that’s for you and everything that comes your way will be true, mfs be so conflicted on the inside that they can’t help but to cause problem’s change your perspective and choose to vibe higher and you will look at shit differently by tomorrow.

    Author: Urban Poems

    You tried to be the judge and jury on my peace, but you don’t define me..
    You rob, kill, and steal from blameless sheep.
    So who are you to determine what goals I reach?
    You tried to be the apprehender of my speech, but you don’t assign me.
    I am a voice for the people who weep.
    You tried to be the splendor in my feet, but you can’t confine me.
    You tried to make me surrender, being meek, but the spirit within reminds me to keep it sweet.
    Because to defeat you, my sword is to keep the commandments my father teach.

    My Inspiration for writing this poem Titled: Win or Lose is as long as do what is right, I win even if I lose in a natural sense.

    Author: Urban Poems

    I’m paying my dues to be the woman I choose, ridiculed by fools, but this is my battle whether I win or lose.

    Temptation pursues, attempting to force me into being its muse, overwhelmed by everyone and their gossiping news.

    Through the smoke my roots search out my own views. To live life, one must be ready to face strife and challenge evil rules.

    We must fight for good counsel to have a voice in schools.. This fight, I will either win or die trying. This is my soul, I will subdue.

    In my heart, temptation will not be used. With this, I conclude, the enemy I fight is where to walk in my shoes.

    Author: Urban Poems

    The butterfly with the broken wing but still flies..
    I am the butterfly that survived..
    In my cocoon, I almost died.
    With no nurture, my place on Earth was still assigned.
    I was born with a broken wing, trained in the womb to fight for mine.
    So I soar, in the midst of war, waiting on no man to tell me how high..
    Listening through the airwaves for my Creator to tell me when to rest, and when to draw nigh..
    My broken wing may seem like a weakness, but no, it gave me a strong refine.
    My broken wing taught me how to be humble and kind.
    My broken wing taught me to be tied to no binds.

    Author: Urban Poems

    Dehumanize a man and take the land of the traumatized.. you fantasize of causing our babies
    suicide, the devil in disguise.. you colonized our pain to petrify our people’s brains,
    you want us all insane.. you want to tame the black man’s name. Your designs cause the black womb
    shame.. you assign your gang bangers to destroy and undermine where we unite and reside..
    because you never had joy you took the people for a toy. No thank you, to your planned
    genocide.. I’d rather have peace on the inside.. your biggest trick was getting our people to
    undermine their own kind.. in the hopes of moving up to a
    high-rise..
    With no love around we say to one another, dog eat dog so it’s all justified, no lie you got
    our arms tied.. No knowledge of the Most High, so there’s no settled mind.. trying to be god, the
    minds of the people, through division, you customize. You itemize another’s hands and place your face
    to be idolized.. hushing the cries of the hypnotized. You got what you wanted, any means
    necessary, but the love of god you denied.. but you want the joy from his people’s eyes..
    so you kept taking until you neutralized.. but now once again, we arise, holding hands where you cut
    the line, revitalized to help our own kind..

    Author: Urban Poems

    A leech entered into my hand today.. Many hours passed before I started to feel the ache.
    When I woke up this morning, I was ready to make a change to benefit my whole race,
    because I thought that if I do my part by respecting my peers and treating all deserving
    with grace, that we can get a step closer to winning our own race.. I remember we used to
    alert our neighbors when the stranger was at the gate, but now we just sit around watching,
    waiting on the stranger to enter and slay. With no love in our hearts altogether depraved.
    When I finally looked down at my hand, my palms started to rot away.. with blood clots so big
    I had to cut my whole hand off to be heard when I pray.
    A leech almost drank all of my love,
    only to feel my veins with hate.
    I almost lost the girl who was full of hope,
    determined to make a way, but instead I lost a limb and kept my soul in place.

    Author: Urban Poems

    When you got eyes to see, you can’t be drinking and popping ecstasy.
    The serpent creeps, in the hearts of the ones that you trust when you sleep.
    There was a boy, ten years old and wise as can be.
    His first drink of milk came from his mother when she used to be a peach.
    Ten years later, the look in her eyes is deceased.
    Another soul eaten in the streets..
    The soul snatcher whispered in her ears, and told her take away his peace,
    So she offered him alcohol to destroy the lad while he was weak..
    For a while, he became an alcoholic, and the soul snatcher grinning thought he had the boy for keeps.
    Set up from the start, he saw no hope in reach.
    So he tried a new thing and looked up to the sky,and asked the Most High, to clean a soul that reeks.
    The serpent losing his grip offered him every drug, from A to Z.
    Desperate to kill the man before anybody sees.
    With the fire of the Most High lit within his eyes, there’s no way to stop the future prodigy.
    This time, he will fulfill a righteous man’s prophesy.

    My Inspiration for writing this poem Titled: Cult Of Hate is the things that men and women have done to me is unimaginable evil.

    Author: Urban Poems

    Raped by the people. Raped by the evil. The cold hearts of men and women were equal.
    They want me suicidal, sentenced to death by the sheeple.
    I’ve always been a loner, so to shame me only adds to the sequel.
    Yeah, real deal regal.
    They want to destroy the message that I’m breathing.
    Law by the citizens, joined the cult of illegals.
    My eyes are frozen in disbelief.
    Altogether, the people’s eager is deceitful.
    The fallen ones were persecuted to bring the devil’s sheep a relieved pause.
    To those of us still trying to survive, keep your head up.
    Don’t let them steal our retrieval.

  • Evil Voices

    Man reading poetry titled Becoming Peace

    (Poem) “Evil Voices”

    My Inspiration for writing this poem Titled: Evil Voices is I have met so many people with bad intentions.

    Author: Urban Poems

    I hate your voice. I hate when you change your tone to hide yourself, because no matter how sweet
    I can still feel the source, you might as well say I want you dead with no remorse.
    I hate you for befriending me, knowing all along that you wanted to end me.. that you wanted to
    taint my soul with your evil force, that you wanted me to doubt my own course, that you wanted to be
    the one to hold the key to my choice. That is why I hate the vibrations in your noise.
    It just keeps spreading, Fake personalities is what our leaders endorse. It’s like my spirit
    keeps clashing with the same spirit in different people. It feels like my pain is their rejoice.
    Evil is a leech. Stealing the souls of man, is how it keeps its poise.

    (Poem) “A Child No More”

    My Inspiration for writing this poem Titled: A Child No More is I will no longer fight meaningless battles.

    Author: Urban Poems

    When I was a child, I fought whenever called.
    But now that I’m grown, I only fight for a cause.
    I fight for the George Floyds who died like a slave under free man’s laws.
    Within three years, three murderers walked free like nothing happened at all.
    I fight to give a voice to the silent pause..
    I fight for the old, no, the original truth to receive applause.
    Through division, we keep sitting, unable to lend a hand
    to help our brethren stand through these thick walls.
    I fight for a cause..
    I fight to pick us up from the downfalls.
    I pray to give us power over withdrawals.
    Fight with me, not against me,
    to restore what used to be the rarest, most pure wherewithal.

    Author: Urban Poems

    In this moment, chaos has been riveting through my ears.
    Demons attempting to latch on in an effort to bring me tears.
    But you are my Elohiym.
    I need you, to redirect their spears..
    Make them eat their own hate and drink their own fears.
    Rise me up in peace.
    I reject the demon’s feast.
    I knock over all boundaries as I move near your hemisphere.
    No demon can hold me.. because my Elohiym is on the throne making my paths clear.
    You can’t hold me!.

    (Poem) “Don’t Sing 2 Me”

    My Inspiration for writing this poem Titled: Don’t Sing 2 Me Is I am tired of evil needing genuine people to sustain.

    Author: Urban Poems

    Lullabies despise and feed off the lips of silenced cries..
    With nothing to eat, you fall asleep just in the nick of time..
    Silent lies become innocent, causing innocent eyes to die..
    Trying to survive, no longer able to get by,
    You look over to another and think, how can I deprive?
    You tied your soul to a torn rope with a firm grope
    You held on until the line broke..
    Now the thoughts to take another’s place, will no longer subside
    Please, don’t sing to me no lullabies!..
    I can feel the strife that thrives on the inside..
    That’s what you wanted, right?
    You traded your soul to join the beehive..
    Thinking how great it is now that you left the broken tares behind..
    Not realizing that the “tares” are the wheat
    And to hide the meek, the weak silence cries..

  • Evil Is Weak

    Man reading poetry titled Becoming Peace

    (Poem) “Evil Is Weak”

    My Inspiration for writing this poem Titled: Evil Is Weak is it is a very weak trait to become consumed in evil.

    Author: Urban Poems

    Everything about being evil is weak.
    That’s why pretending to be me, is what you can never be.
    Puffed up in pride, you can never be meek.
    Being bold is a righteous act, not fear-based.
    In fact, that’s the trait that evil lacks.
    Evil is scared of the facts.
    Scared of black ink covered in black.
    Evil is the nut that’s easy to crack.
    Evil is a coward searching for a crowd before they act.
    Monkey see, monkey do, even for the simple task.
    Evil is weak.
    Evil against bold, one-on-one, evil must retreat.
    Evil is like an ant, easy to squash, needing a crowd to leap.
    Evil outnumbers the bold, the real soldiers.
    But like a jaguar, we gone fight until we eat.
    Smashing ant hills until we reap.

    Author: Urban Poems

    Being hated by everyone you ever loved, is a pain so deep it makes your veins go dull. I just wanna hide away until it all feels null.. Today is the end of me giving one sided hugs.. If I ever love again, I need my back to feel some rubs.. No. I fuckin tried, I’m not the reason for your mugs.. You hate me for daring to be, So FUCK you and your love.

    My inspiration for writing this poem (I Won’t Forget) is a reminder that if a person shows no remorse always remember how they treated you; even when you forgive them.

    Author: Urban Poems

    I will always remember those who chose to be my enemy. Unforgetting I will be, until the end of
    me. I never received an apology, so there’s no surrendering.. no mending, to the pain they kept
    lending, supposedly I offend the pretending.. but that’s okay because the truth is avenging,
    especially for the people that the lies are bending. Who’s paying the price for evil to keep
    ascending.. I’m tired of seeing the same thing trending, it seems like for the just, just laws
    are still pending, when it’s all said and done poetic justice is the story’s ending.

    Author: Urban Poems

    Why would I vote under a system who writes checks that I can’t collect?
    What happened to land of the free, freedom of speech?
    But every time I speak it’s like I’m getting vexed.
    So freedom must be the real threat..
    Fortune 500 companies worried about my next flex.
    Worried that free speech might just free the pets.
    What about the right to protest that they won’t protect?
    I know the system see them trying to hex.
    Makes me wonder who’s really causing wrecks in the complex.
    If voting changes things, then why does bondage keep returning through a different text?
    The people are tired of being slaves!
    We need to rest..
    All that you promised is up next.
    Before I sign another ballot, no more switcheroo’s.

    -Author Urban Poems-

    Down by the river is where my tears hide.. blending in with the river’s tide.. the river is the place
    that I go to cry, hiding away from the eyes of passerbys.. my eyes swell from the thunder of pain
    I denied.. here there’s no one to tell me that my worries are benign.. Here, there’s only the catching
    of my tears to give me more time. Your gentle flow reminds me to take back what’s mine.
    Giving me the courage to untie all binds.. you are my friend when my eyes start to die.
    Your silent words are perfect helping me to leave it all behind..
    flow away to help the next soul who was needing to align.. truly you are, one of a kind..

    Man reading poetry titled Win Inside

    (Poem) “Win Inside”

    My inspiration for writing this poem (Win Inside) is a spirit led by its flesh, is destined to be eaten by its host.

    Author: Urban Poems

    Gold lies in a tortured soul.. trapped inside is a story never told.
    With the chains of fear grasping a firm hold.. when the door is open, it appears as closed..
    The house on the hill no one dares to oppose.. but the house will burn if the flowers grow.
    Fighting to live, the house starts to mold, poisoning the minds of those in tow.
    Who dares to leave the house of old? Buried within is the flower of hope..
    To be free from the dirt is to approach one’s woes.
    Who will overthrow?. the flower or the mold?
    Not many will return from the house on the hill, at the end, of the dead end road..

  • A Letter to Momma

    A Letter to Momma

    “Poem” (A Letter to Momma)

    This poem “A Letter to Momma” inspires one to remember who they once were; and realize how they have allowed life to be a trap. Furthermore, this poem is a reminder to regain your strength in the midst of adversity.

    -Author: Johnnesha Butler-

    Dear Momma,
    Everything that glitter aint gold,
    But I’m sure you know.
    What once was a breath of fresh air
    Is now a dictator. Prisoners in “your” own home, you and your
    children.
    Where is she? The Momma that doesn’t take disrespect, the one that always taught me to
    speak my mind?!!! I guess we’re both lost and confused because I can’t find
    Her and neither can you. I hope you have a plan B because you always taught us that as well.
    The hate and embarrassment of who you’ve become is perposterous. We humans have
    backbones and use them to stand firm. I guess yours has decayed over the years from all the
    stress, yet you’re still standing and still you rise, all while conforming. Daily struggles might
    cause you to bend, but never break you, not my momma at least. From what I can see, you’re
    bending like a mug and if I may say so myself I don’t like it. Anybody that really knows you
    Momma knows you are better than that. But what I do know, I’m an outsider looking in. I’m
    looking in from the perspective that looks back at you in the mirror. What happened to the
    Momma that used to say “I can do bad all by myself!”

  • The Enemy

    Man reading poetry titled The Enemy

    (Poem) “The Enemy”

    My inspiration for writing this poem ( The Enemy ) is because your perception determines your stance. My perception is set against evil no matter who is the perpetrator. I stand with the Most High even when I have to stand against myself. My nor anyone else’s transgression can ever make the Most High’s commands a lie.

    -Author: Urban Poems-

    I am the enemy.

    I am the enemy of the state, I am the enemy of hate, I am the enemy of my enemy’s plate.

    The enemy of fake.

    I am the enemy that makes my enemy’s soul quake..

    Why am I the enemy?

    I grew tired of the enemy of faith, The enemy of grace, The enemy of the commandments we were meant to embrace..

    No more do I adore the enemy of God’s pace.

    No more will I ignore my enemy’s frenemy play dates.

    No more will I be quiet while my enemy destroys the lakes.

    No more will I look away while my enemy raises rates.

    I am tired of all the things that my enemy takes.

    I am the enemy of disgrace.

    The knowledge of eternal life has been stolen from us..

    I am the enemy of rape.

    I am the enemy.

    (Poem) “Not So Fun”

    My inspiration for writing this poem “Not So Fun” is that the game is always fun until you lose. You can be a winner and lose a board game but you will always win in the game of eternal life. The game of eternal life is the only game I play; leaving the worldly games to the minions.

    -Author: Urban Poems-

    You laughing at me was a part of the plan. He said, not so fun when the prey plans the run. Everything you did is the reason why I won. The Most High used your wicked ways to determine your next turn.. You had the perfect aim and got shot with your own gun. So let me get this right, even with all your sheep you got conned with your con.. the whole entire time you were used as a pawn.. perfect plans were created from the one who turns the sun.. the same one who created your mom and your son, So if I serve him, do you really want to spawn?. and if you hate me we not serving the same one.

    My Inspiration for writing this poem “True To Me” is we are expected to act as identical humans with no expression of feelings. When you refuse to go along to get along, those that chose to conform will be the first ones to try to knock you down a notch.

    -Author: Urban Poems-

    00:01 – 00:09
    The real reason for you not liking me is because I smile when I’m glad, I frown

    00:09 – 00:14
    When feeling sad, I say, fuck this shit.

    00:14 – 00:27
    When I’m feeling bad.. and when you embarrass me, I don’t hide when I cry, rage, and laugh.. because I don’t mind admitting when I’m feeling mad..

    00:27 – 00:34
    And when I need some privacy, I say, I need some time to relax…

    00:35 – 00:38
    See, you don’t like me because I’m true to me..

    00:39 – 00:47
    And even with all my flaws, my morals are still intact because the things you do to me can never take that..

    00:47 – 00:52
    Because my morals are based on my actions and not your tactics or reactions..

    00:53 – 00:54
    And so are yours!..

    So whatever you tried to take from me, you said goodbye to whatever integrity you thought you had..

    Nourishing my leaves daily, is how I learned to cope..

    When the sun is bright, I take in the perfect amount of

    light to keep my spirit bold.. After A Storm I must recover

    from the pull of the rough wind blows.. My roots adjust based

    on the conditions and the space I hold.. but I am the odd

    rose that never folds.. I just keep learning how to thrive

    through all that life throws.. Obstacles give me a strong

    foundation, leading me to sow deep into a better mold..

    -Author: Urban Poems-

    Can’t you see, even when you win I still elevate. All of your hate makes me stronger
    to lift bigger weights. Now if I thought that you were worth it I could annihilate, but
    to me, you’re pathetic, that’s why I contemplate… I thought about it, and how you conversate
    don’t really match my rates, but when it’s time to trap a rat I never hesitate.. but I
    never kill them, I just watch them starve in their own waste.. if they weren’t driven

    -Author Urban Poems-

    Sensitivity in a world with no humility, it’s like being the target for everyone’s hostility.
    You get labeled as a threat, and blamed for all iniquity, as if the world wasn’t already
    fucked up and declining before you spoke on all their mysteries.
    I gotta say, I never meant to stop your victories, but if your bottom line includes destroying
    humanity’s capability, for example, locking our brains in your facilities, we gotta fight
    for our freedom with all of our ability.

    My Inspiration for writing this poem (Quiet Place) is sometimes the noise becomes overwhelming. This is for the days when you don’t want to be expressive; when you just need a moment to exist without defending or offending.

    -Author Urban Poems-

    I just lay here in this quiet place.. clearing my mind of all haze.. a reset,
    to start better days. In this moment there’s no drama causing delays, no
    debates, about how to stop fate. As long as I stand on the right side before it’s
    too late, I’m confident that the God I serve, served me the right plate. So I’m
    quiet right now.. not feeling the need to relate. I’ve seen too many people who
    only want to take. So excuse me if I need a moment, to keep my own foot, out of the

    I will always repair the breach…
    I can only be down for so long before
    I offer my own hand to reach..
    looking disaster in the eye, I tell
    resolution to pull up a seat..
    my broken heart goes to war.. torn in
    two my heart still beats,
    only through the strength of my Father’s

    because you are the one that always knows
    that saving my life should be first,
    before I eat..

    Life's Mysteries

    (Poem) “Life s Mysteries”

    The changes of life is a mystery that at times
    I rather leave unsolved… but with no investigation of the unknown I can never evolve.. so I walk
    down the dark hall not knowing what’s next or
    who’s involved.. sometimes I cry because of what I find
    is just another mystery that needs to be solved.. or I cry because the answer is a broken heart.. and when you finally see the light, there’s no cushion to break the fall.. so now you must learn once again, how to crawl.. life is one of those things that teaches you over and over again, how to walk and how to stand tall..

    I’m back and I’m better with an new endeavor.. I’m flexing on my haters now that I’m a little more clever.. I’m popping my collar, I put the whole hate club in the shredder.. they turned the heat up so I’m taking off my sweater.. Depending on the Most High to make it through all weather… I’m an introvert so fake friends are equal to fake leather.. I wanted to know who is real so I had to pluck your feather.. I don’t need friends who come around just to gather… filling their bags with what they rather.. it matters to me so All of my haters can bounce together.. to really tell you how I feel all my haters can bounce forever..

  • Silence

    Man reading poetry titled Silence

    (Poem) “Silence”

    My inspiration for writing “Silence” is that I just got tired of talking. I started to feel like I was talking to brick walls. Everyone is living in a dog eat dog mindset, so they assume you are too. -Author Urban Poems-

    At this moment there’s nothing to really talk about.. I just need a moment of silence to really sort it out… my voice is feeling tired with no strength to shout..

    call it crazy but I will never talk just to chase clout..

    I just want to be quiet when it’s so loud… with everybody claiming to know the proper route.. I learned to open my eyes and control my mouth… 

    I could say a lot but this is not a pout.. but I will say..

    Fuck a soul tribe that’s a real drought.. take it how you want.. this is my house.. so don’t tell me how you feel.. tell your spouse..

  • Take A Bow

    (Poem) “Take A Bow”

    My inspiration for writing “Take A Bow” is that everyone is playing a role. I rather sit in a room with an enemy who tells me they are my enemy; than a friend who is not real. -Author Urban Poems-

    Now that I know that it’s all fake.. that it’s all an act.. I’m on the battlefield fighting to bring the real one’s back.. let’s talk about trust issues.. if I didn’t have any before, I got them now.. and that’s a fact.. Which is a good thing in this dessert filled with snake attacks.. I’m so disappointed to see leaders are nothing but copy cats.. with no original thoughts on their racks.. I definitely don’t want to talk to a bunch rats.. I gotta ask?.. where the real one’s at?.. social media has created a world where everyone is wearing hats.. no one is doing the inner work when you can just copy where you lack.. I’m getting rid of all fake ones and creating a real stack.. so if you don’t like what I’m saying.. it’s time for you to pack… I don’t feel no remorse for admitting that you’re wack… I gotta ask once again.. where the real one’s at?

  • Is This Life?

    (Poem) “Is This Life?”

    My inspiration for writing (Is This Life) is the hamster wheel that society has created. By no means am I saying to quit your jobs but I am saying use them as a stepping stone to buy some land or get back to what’s natural.

    -Author Urban Poems-

    Working a 9-5 are vital survival hours.. after dealing with a toxic supervisor stressing you out abusing you with their powers.. now it’s 6 o clock you finally making it home looking forward to a shower.. so 7 rolls around.. your kids looking hungry thinking where’s ours.. you’ve been on your feet since before the sun came up.. but it’s all on you, there’s nobody there to give you flowers… I know you’re tired and it’s easier said than done.. this life we live devours.. we were made to live off the earth… made to give birth… made to work.. in our own farms but the money is our curse… take me back to the old days when we knew how to use herbs.. When building our own homes and drinking from wells fulfilled our thirst.. comfort is the demon that’s putting bodies in a hearse.. fast food and no time to work out is why our bodies hurt.. most of us wouldn’t survive a day in the wild.. so what are we really worth? All of our skills were swapped for comfort.. we traded life for a purse.. I’m not saying quit your jobs.. but find your way back to living.. nothing grows without planting a seed first..

    (Poem) “Un-tied”

    My inspiration for writing (Un-tied) is me knowing that there will always be adversity in life; but it won’t stop me from moving forward. -Author Urban Poems-

    Damn I done been a lot places.. All alone but surrounded, I done filled a lot of spaces.. It don’t matter who you meet it’s like it’s all the same cases.. just different faces with different emotional fazes.. But the eyes never change they reveal the true bases.. I’ll never forget the eyes of the one’s I called my aces.. When anger rose, I found out most were really just my foes..  I sit back and think of all the different gazes.. Fake love had me stumbling at different stages… The more I try it’s like they shoot me from different ranges.. All the times I held it in I’m releasing all my rages.. No more playing nice I’m releasing all my gauges.. Shot out to all my haters, the more you try, Abba Yah gone give me all my raises.. First I’m give him all his praises.. I will always rise you could never stop my wages.. Since it seems I’m the problem then release me from these cages.. I’m done with all your killer hazes. Your jealousy, Untied me from your knotted laces.. Just leave me alone.. .. Go be happy.. And let me decipher my own mazes.. You’ll never see me again.. I hope that solves your problem.. Now who you gone blame for that black heart that got you loosing all your race’s.

    I want you to laugh today, go ahead put smile on your face.. I want you to know that everything is going to be okay… You with the glowing eyes wipe them tears away.. it’s been to long, the world needs a little peek of your grace.. your genuine vibes are comforting like a warm embrace.. I gotta say, your goodbyes are always sure to leave the loving scent of your trace.. your inner beauty is like the perfect molding of clay..

  • God Didn’t Stutter

    Man reading poetry titled God Didn't Stutter

    (Poem) “God Didn’t Stutter”

    The inspiration for writing (God Didn’t Stutter) is most times the people that say someone else is in a cult don’t even follow or understand the bible they claim is their manual for their own religious beliefs. This is not to say there are no cults; but the term is often used to bully those who don’t want to follow the crowd. Anything that corrupts the Most High’s ways are the real cults. Always use your discernment.

    -Author Urban Poems-

    I heard that a small group of organized people with the same beliefs were a cult… religious beliefs or practices regarded by others as strange or Sinister is googles top search results… If you ask me a large religious group is bullying the little people with organized insults.. So I guess the broad path is what the world instructs..It doesn’t matter how many people self-destruct.. that was made clear in the normal consult… I and a small group of people still believe that the Messiah came to make mankind’s laws erupt, without changing not one pin drop of what the Most High constructs.. so does that make us a cult? For following our father’s rules that mankind attempted to corrupt.. my father says in his word that the path is narrow so following the crowd should make you to hit a screeching halt… So what is a cult? My new definition of a cult is the broad path that made many lives end abrupt.. sounds sinister to me.. sounds like Satan’s worshippers to me.. So how do you believe in God if his word you chose to deduct? You can’t have it both ways it’s time you bow down on your knees and stop counting on your luck..

    It’s just me and you in this world full of people… You’re my father, my provider, my comforter, the one who saves me from the sheeple.. you are the one that’s always regal.. during persecution, I block out the reaper, and think of you, you are my keeper… Making me strong when I am weaker… I realized that it’s all about you and your believer’s.. nothing else matters in this world full of seekers… Their just players on the board to make our love for you grow deeper.. I cry tears of joy while looking past all deceivers.. standing with you alone I am not a people pleaser… No more being triggered I am not a demon easer.. Stop wasting your time fighting me, I am not your pain reliever… I win fights without trying, call me the demon beater.. it’s the holy spirit that puts those demons in the heater.. I’m seasoned by the Most High God, he will always be my leader.

  • In Due Time

    (Poem) “In Due Time”

    My inspiration for writing “In due time” is it seems the more you try to be a decent person, the more people give you problems. I wanted to give some validation to people going through this by letting you know that I get it. You are not alone. You deserve to hear that sometimes. Through the Most High we can be there to pick each other up when we are feeling down.” -Author Urban Poems-

    Let’s be honest, you were nominated… Guilty for being honest is the reason why you’re hated.. incriminated for daring to go against the zombie matrix.. They chose the life of being faded.. hearts drunk and infiltrated.. your presence makes their life a little complicated.. their forced to think about their actions and can no longer be exonerated.. so they team up to make your logic seem underrated.. but always asking questions just to make you feel shaded.. they want you irritated… Attempting to make your soul dark jaded.. saying join us the darkness is highly rated.. join or prepare be agitated.. with their demons fully concentrated.. it’s like their demons infatuated with keeping you suffocated.. all to stop you from navigating.. so you choose to be quiet, now they mad you won’t escalate it.. doubting your strength, they really thought you’d be dominated.. but it’s time you feel validated.. moving on your heart is truly unpenetrated.. maybe scarred, but God is why you’re vindicated.. through it all you’re amazing, you’re smart, you’re caring, your laugh is needed and appreciated.. this moment is for you it’s time you feel elated.

  • Never Cross Yah

    Man reading poetry titled Never Cross Yah

    (Poem) “Never Cross Yah”

    The inspiration for this poem (Never Cross Yah) is reminiscing on each time that I went against God to please a person there were consequences. Each time that very same person would turn on me. It is almost like the Most High says if you value their opinion over mine, then I will leave you to it but without my protection. By going against God you are hurting your own relationships with others. God knows what is best; it may hurt their feelings for you to say no today and save the relationship for the long-run. Then again, sometimes certain people don’t need to be in your life. -Author Urban Poems-

    Man I don’t even know where to start.. but fuck it you let us get to this broken part.. all I can feel is a broken heart…torn in this broken place I call the dark ..this time you did it… As strong as I try to be I can’t take this dart.. to the all the one’s that planned this you won.. I never said I was smart.. so what made you wanna break me down to this broken art.. you tricked me into sinning for you, making my father Yah depart… as hard I tried to stand it seems that evil broke me once again..you won again.. at least in the sight of man.. I’ve never been broken and didn’t arise stronger than when I began.. and this one hit hard.. so on this next race I’m gone run faster than I ever ran.. if this is it, I learned my lesson to never cross God’s plan.

  • Ah Hehe Hell

    (Poem) “Ah Hehe Hell”

    I was inspired to write this poem (Ah Hehe Hell) because black television downplays the fight of activists. It seems to try to portray them as if they have mental issues for wanting to be treated fairly. Black television all together pushes a negative brain washing narrative. I can’t even watch a show without seeing something that irks me anymore. -Author Urban Poems-

    Why are black sitcoms making fun of black activists.. shows like black-ish.. have me heated as they play out our active risk.. using black actors to turn our pain into a diss.. bad acting depicting abolitionist.. making jokes like painting the snow black.. and have us thinking, that’s a group of extremists.. so called actors displaying violence with a kiss.. how much did they pay you to keep our brains in bliss.. to keep your own on a list.. the message is to kill black concerns by using their own fist.. mannn.. you gotta be dumb if you still don’t get the gist.. Being a sale out is Anthony Andersons biggest wish.. but he’s no worse than Martin or the rest who keeps their heads in the mist.. claiming it’s all comedy while serving a laugh within a hiss.. destroying us slowly is Hollywood’s biggest hit.. Y’all helped them with their mission to demolish and dismiss… Man I’m just shaking my head.. how did we go from strong to doing anything for a bone.. black entertainment is just a terrible remix.

    The inspiration for this poem (Be True) is to say that we are human not robots; and don’t let nobody tell you any different. -Author Urban Poems-.

    The world is full of fake positivity.. They got you smiling at your enemies

    Saying it’s okay that we’re all really frenemies.. You play along while they steal all of your Energy…

    You shrug it off to get along saying forget about the inner me… You neglect your soul for so long it becomes a mystery..

    people losing everyday to built up negativity.. yeah I guess it’s their own fault for humanities instability..

    fake stability holds no accountability.. no responsibility, for causing all fragility.. it has no reliability…

    but it’s always full of liabilities.. like you doubting your ability.. Real strength, is in your sensitivity…

    In it, is your real true identity.. Don’t let the world kill density… Stay true to you, and let God be your infinity.

    The Inspiration for this poem (Peaceful Verbs) is simply I don’t like to argue. Once I say what I have to say, we can either agree or disagree. Either way I will not dwell in a place where I see no resolution. -Author Urban Poems-

    I don’t care to argue or to get the last word, at some point I don’t care if I’m even being heard.. I just want peace and silence, I know it sounds absurd.. But I only care to talk if we can really merge. So I shutdown my talkative urge. And release all toxic thoughts in a much needed purge.. Placing my thoughts in a creative surge.. Always a go to when I’m stressed to my verge.. And then the next thing you know I’m filled with peaceful verbs.. People who cause strife just become a bunch of blurs.. That’s what I call a detox from life’s crazy curves.

  • Dead To Me

    (Poem) “Dead To Me”

    This poem “Dead To Me” is personal to me. It is inspired by people who I wanted nothing but the best for them. In return they wanted the worst for me. This entire poem is how I truly feel deep down in my heart to my bones.

    Our friendship is over… I’ll never trust you again.. truth is.. you really dead to me.. now that all your lies are revealed.. Let me tell you how I really feel.. I don’t hate you but don’t tell me how to forgive.. you have no right to tell me that moving on means that I must relive.. you took my love for weakness.. coming from you it hurt the worst… All of the plots that you concealed… It’s okay now it’s over.. your pleas fall on death ears.. this case can never be appealed.. you held a place in my heart but so does the memory of the hurt that never healed.. I’m sorry but it can never disappear.. The thought of you just makes my hurt reappear.. the part of you that I loved was never really real.. While I was building you up.. you was going in for the kill.. you thinking how dumb she must be that she can’t see the spit that’s in this meal.. but I saw it.. I saw a demon through your veil.. the jealous kind.. that’s what made me seal the deal.. I don’t want to talk it out.. I placed you in the darkest part of my heart.. in this place I forget you ever lived.. I know it sounds cold but I’m not seeking for revenge.. when you think to call me evil.. remember before my heart turned cold.. that you tried make me kneel.

    This Poem (Awake Again) Is inspired by God’s Grace. Also to express that you do have the strength to pull through challenges that you may endure. -Author Urban Poems-

    Today is beautiful, I wake up and brush my teeth to look suitable, drinking some fresh coffee made with a love that is dutiful… All of the different color birds are outside close and viewable.. and Their chirps are loud and musical.. With God’s blessings his morning grace is reusable.. that’s undisputable, you’re still renewable.. As long as God says yes remember you’re unremovable.. As long as you pray God will bless your day and lead the way to make you useable. You’ll go from nothing much to a plan that is fusible. With faith you’re really durable.. your life is curable.. your smile’s a miracle.. it’s really spiritual.. it’s nothing physical.. your strength is lyrical.. I call it mystical.

    (Poem) “Forever Bae”

    The titled explains itself; this 3 part poem (Forever Bae) was inspired by my Forever Bae. ❤️ I love you times a 1000😘. I always pray that this is really forever. -Author Urban Poems-

    Part 1

    Bae I was so mad at you… But when I look into the future all I see is us two.. Loving each other through the good and the blue… Who said love was easy… That’s why real love is few.. As long as we work together, there’s nothing we can’t do.. Let’s put aside our pride and let our hearts beat on cue.. With you by my side I never stress when the bills are due.. Because I know as long as I got you even if we broke we still brand new.. From the day that I met you I already knew.. That we would last forever.. God and determination now that’s the real love clue..

    Part 2

    We all know that demons attack marriages right.. Looking for any cracks where yo love ain’t really tight.. Catching you when you slipping hoping you might not even fight… But bae I love you.. So I can’t miss this flight.. This chance to unite.. So we tell them demons if you tryna box.. Let’s meet up tonight..  We start praying to get our spirits hype.. Yeah we got’em shook , they never would of guessed that we was the praying type.. So we blocked them demon bites.. No matter what they do me and you gone be alright.

    Part 3

    The night sky sometimes reminds me of my lover’s eyes
    Peaceful and relaxing like the early morning sunrise
    I love you through the tough times
    I love the way your smile shines
    You bring my soul chimes
    I love your calm vibes
    It’s like relaxing on the beach near the ocean tides
    I love our late-night rides
    Got me feeling like your ride or die
    Like my soul tie
    Laughing as the car glides
    While staring in your eyes
    Thinking how he get so fine
    I could love you without a dime
    Baby you forever mine

    This Poem (Social Anxiety) is inspired by how the current conditions of the world have taken us out of our natural habitat. -Author Urban Poems-

    Social anxiety is plaguing our society.. Kids becoming psychopaths due to no variety.. Going outside is a chore due to media commodities.. Parents act like kids while telling kids to slow it down.. Isn’t that hypocrisy.. No more time to read a book or learn to cook, just stuck in ya phone trying to look, this whole gig is mockery.. Are we just slaves to democracy?.. Go to work, eat fast food, get on your phone and go to sleep, do it again.. we really chilling in atrocity.. Then we die at 65, when did a life not lived all happen in such a short velocity.. It hurts to keep it real but I gotta give you honesty.. This is the average beings philosophy… We’ve all been studied and controlled by scientists methodology.. If you go against the grain they study your whole psychology.. to create new distractions made just for your kind with all of their technology.. Perfect warfare to kill your soul all done with no apology..

  • Lake Of Souls

    Man reading poetry titled Lake Of Souls

    (Poem) “Lake Of Souls”

    This Poem (Lake Of Souls) was inspired by a reminder to not get left behind. Listen when you hear the warning calls. Help others always; just don’t lose you in the process. -Author Urban Poems-

    Don’t get left behind with the boy smoking cigarettes and the mom feasting on pork until her burst.. Don’t get left behind.. Don’t drown your soul in the lake After the most high already told you it’s time to leave the curse.. You heard the alarm but you looked back and got left in the underworld… In the lake digging for souls while losing yours.. You dropped yours while digging for the forbidden.. Every time you reach you find another soul but where’s yours.. Last call the doors are closing you were given a secret exit.. Why did you look back? Now you roaming around and you look for another exit.. Then you find one.. But then you look to the right and in this room you see your cousin.. Tied to a chair.. But all the doors are closing.. You know your cousin chose the world.. But you love him.. So you try to save him and you end up in the lake.. Pulling out every soul but where’s yours? Then you get out leaving your soul behind and all the streets are empty and full of smoke.. Then you meet the pork eating lady and the boy smoking cigarettes. Damn now you wishing you would’ve listened to the last warning call..

    (Poem) “This Is Peace”

    This poem (This Is Peace) was inspired by the amazing feeling of sitting outside enjoying the sun. -Author Urban Poems-

    As I sit outside gazing at the green grass, as I look at the beautiful flowers.. I feel the warmth upon my head as the sun towers.. Sitting slightly in the shade to avoid the heat’s full powers.. While Dandelions stand tall from the morning rain showers.. Now that it’s dry, I lye bare feet in the grass absorbing the nutrient deets.. As the birds chirp with their tender beats.. This is soo nicee.. so I close my eyes and lightly drift to sleep.. As the earth caresses me with her gentle sheets.. Prompted awakened from the buzzing bees..  whilst the wind blows in such a gentle breeze.. not sparing while sharing her energy with the trees.. the leaves are beautiful as they blow with ease. not worrying about my phone as I let the voices cease. Thank you mighty Yah for this special kind of peace.

  • Pick A Side

    Man reading poetry titled Pick A Side

    (Poem) “Pick A Side”

    This poem (Pick A Side) was inspired by the knowing that when you do what is in your heart there will be others who don’t like it. You will face the creator alone. -Author Urban Poems-

    There is a cuss word used in this poem; not a curse word. Curse words are words or sentences used in ill will towards another person. Example Psalm 109:17  As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him. Just the same as blessing is to do good cursing is to do harm. As you can see from this scripture and many others with the actual words curse or cursing in it that the meaning is to despitely cause harm to another with your mouth or actions. You can “curse” someone without using a “cuss” word.

    There are still considerations

    In spite of that, I do believe that it is discourteous to use cuss words recklessly; even if they aren’t used to cause harm.

    Today I sit and think, no matter what you do… You gonna make somebody unhappy.. I  think that’s why most people just try to keep it classy.. With no genuine bonds in this new world making us all whacky… So fuck it, I choose to tacky.. You think you being sassy.. While throwing shade with a smile knowing yo attitude is snappy..  Why you mad because my hair nappy.. I’m drawing a line in the sand because I could never make human brand happy.. I chose my hand.. between the Most High Yah and Man.. I had to pick a side.. Because two tracks can never be ran.. Unless you switching sides so maybe it can.. I love when the fake ones show their true colors that they can’t stand me.. So I’m firm on where I stand.. Following Yah’s plan.. He makes life worth living.. He might bless me with some land… Somewhere safe from where his wrath lands.. He might bless me with a full life span.. After that, I’m tryna get to heaven to join in with the Holy band.. I chose my side, father Yah I’m your biggest fan..

    This poem inspiration struggling is the effects of a victim mindset. Struggling is also a word request from a visitor. -Author Urban Poems-

    I’m struggling, I’m wondering, did I deserve a life that’s so troubling. Grudgingly, I’m looking at my friends and thinking, why me? With my insecurities bubbling. I never thought that this would be. You see, I once smiled with full teeth… Genuinely.. I can’t imagine what I did to deserve this reap.. Although I hurt some people deep.. But I had no choice in order to climb the next steep. What’s next? Family trying to tell me what’s best.. Telling me to say less, saying I failed the accountability test. With no where else to turn.. My life is a whole mess.. I made a change.. With new mirrors, I can finally see the reason for my stress. With my new life I’m blessed. I can finally get some rest.

    Struggling pt2 Is inspired by a person that is misunderstood in the midst of their struggle.

    I’m sorry I misunderstood your struggle.. Through your hard times I failed to recognize your hustle. Although you were doubted you endured through your bustle. There was no one to hold your hand while you fixed your own puzzle. I made a mistake when I abandoned you in the rubble.. When God was your only snuggle.. On the days that you quit only God maintained your bubble. Life is too short.. I’m sorry that you were muzzled… But now you winning.. So you got the last guzzle… I love you… So let’s put aside this petty rustle.

    How did you steal love from a whole race? What made you want a man to hate his woman’s face? What made you think to take that woman’s grace? Telling the whole world she’s in last place. Turning our men into pretty trends, through rose colored Lense, we think it’s comedy for our men to be in a wig just to make it big. Doing anything to blend in a society that wants to see the black man come to an end. Bbls are taking L’s to be this lost our people must be under many spells. While we’re busy chasing our tails, we’ve been deceived in a system set up to make us fail. All by design..We hate each other, so our unity is frail.

Uttering spells attempting to pierce your outter surface, while planting thoughts in your head determined to make you nervous.. If it’s God you serving, you’ll always beat a serpent. Returning their rotten spells as deserving for their service.. While observing, you watch you enemy becoming unnerving. As they fail to break your courage.. You recognized their lies, so their forced to watch you flourish… While their demons become malnourished..  There old tricks are powerless because you’ve been refurbished..

    Pt. 2

    I wonder if you can see the serpent.. knowing his traits are really urgent.. causing all confliction is how his darkness keeps converting.. blocking any progress is his red flags emerging… Pay attention to his servants.. manipulation is their service.. notice the anger when you refuse to eat the apple that their serving.. with jealousy in their veins.. your joy is what their purging.. draining of your light because good and evil are divergent.. when you really start to see them, their darkness is unnerving.. get out now and keep it curving.. notice their obsessions.. their perversions are disturbing.. deceiving you out of your soul is the work that keeps them splurging… Shopping for all their demons… Buying more to feed the urges.. They can never win against the holy spirit unless they trick you out of it, so know your worth to keep from merging..

  • Boundaries

    Man reading poetry titled Boundaries

    (Poem) “Boundaries”

    My Inspiration for writing this poem (Boundaries) is we have slowly lost our ability to say no to things that don’t feel right. We allow this system to villainize our helpers and leaders by dividing us from good counsel all to poison our subconscious mind.

    -Author Urban Poems-

    Being too nice has ruined everything.
    Let’s take a look back at the whole scene.
    Everyone is gay since the delusion of the LGBTQ queens. Why did inclusion have to mean exclusion of the way God made queens…
    Black people are in a daze since the fall of leaders like  Martin Luther King.. His methods of love and knowing how to fight caused change to intervene..
    Martin knew that his enemies were not white, but the system causing friction in between… Now that I know better, I stand beside Martin in,  I had a dream.
    At one point I blamed the man for trying until I learned that he led a great revolution giving me the power  to be considered a human being…
    He knew all along that the tending of segregation was a part of a bigger scheme. To control the black mind by stealing our self-esteem.  Trying to lead his people is why he took one for the team.
    He kindly demanded equal rights showing us how to fight a wicked system and stay lean.
    This was never  about the everyday man, black or white.
    The government stealing our boundaries is the part that really stings.
    You can respect another human and still say no to certain ways that they bring.
    The only thing deaf ears can hear is grace, forgiveness, and is the money green?
    Let’s not forget about blood clots and how saving humanity required taking vaccines.
    Let’s just admit that being too nice gave passive aggressive his wings.
    As long as they say it nice,
    they could pretend that it wasn’t meant to be mean.
    The manual on how to be nice turned humans into robotic machines.
    I don’t know about you, but I’m tapping out of the fake smiles ring.
    Everyone was more loving when keeping it real was a thing.
    I can’t pretend anymore that this is not what it seems.

    (Poem) “Backwards 🌎”

    The Inspiration for this poem is how backwards 🌎 society has become. Society has changed drastically in the past century. -Author Urban Poems-

    As my thoughts troll within my head.. I can’t help but wonder what kind of future lyes ahead.. With dying eyes all around me.. I ponder on how long until all of our souls are dead.. As I stroll through my phone I see the world is full of dread. While google gives suggestions based off the things I read or even the things I said.. I’ve never seen a compass or never used a map.. I’m dependant on Google to lead the road I choose to thread.. With no caution on eating fake bread.. And no knowledge on growing food to be fed.. I can say we’re all handicapped and broken vessels that can only see red.. With no private thoughts.. We’re monitored by secret service feds .We must ask ourselves.. Did we all take the chip? Are we even human? Did we make our own beds? Did we make our own souls shed? Father we need you now.. Please cleanse the many cuts that bled.

  • I Love You

    poetry titled I Love You

    (Poem) “I Love You”

    The inspiration for this poem (I Love You) was to motivate someone that I love dearly. -Author Urban Poems-

    Saying I love you is something I never do, but it is long overdue.
    I would say be strong, but I only require you to hold on, for you, and for me.
    It’s okay if you fall to your knees.. like we all do.
    As long as you find your keys and don’t get caught up in the trees.
    Just follow the breeze.. back to peace.
    Don’t get broken by the fees.
    Don’t you listen to the bees designed to steal your ease.
    It’s something God wants you to see, to make your demons flee.
    What could that one thing be?
    Happiness is a mood that we’re accustomed to, but it doesn’t make sadness untrue.
    We need sadness to help us steer our view.
    Acceptance is the clue, to find out what’s true, to help you find your cue.
    Don’t give up when feeling blue, because you always make it through.
    Always remember, I love you times two.

    This poem (I Won) was inspired by a stressful week. Moreover, I decided to remotivate myself by knowing that there are better days ahead. -Author Urban Poems-

    It all feels hopeless.. My days are full of stress..  Making me feel tired, like I can only do less… Like I can’t get dressed. I’m helpless.. At the same time I’m blessed.. Begging God for a little rest… Knowing what I know.. I keep doing what’s best.. Not knowing what’s next.. Determined to past this test.. Hoping It’ah all be over soon. The rope is getting thinner, I’m trying to hold on until noon. How much more can I consume? I have no Idea..  but I won’t give in-to-doom. So I assume, as always, when I’m a broken tune.. my victory is in the next room. So I take a bath then I grab the broom. Then I climb this broken rope to the moon. I won! Thanks to God, it was all a lesson.. All the stressing, prepared me for my blessing.

    Demonic lies, demonic soul ties.. looking for and preying on unsuspecting eyes, planning your demise, planning your cries, saying everyone dies, so there’s no need to try. Prying eyes stareing through your soul like spies. Approaching you while dressed in full disguise. Even confusing the wise.Casting spells with words, while hiding their despise.

A knot tied so tight, I can no longer untie this. Or forgive your diss. I can’t forget.. My heart is scarred by your hiss. I can’t help but reminisce. No more gasoline, I refuse to be your trampoline. I’m tired, I refuse to be the place you lean. Preventing me from feeling clean. Got my mind cluttered.. with all the words you uttered..

    Life is soo busy, Things are never ending, It can feel kinda dizzy
    Some days I just quit, and I sit, and focus on my hobbies, you know, that kinda shit.
    It feels lit, until the memories of the dishes hit, I go for a walk, forcing a little time
    to stay fit; while the street lights are still lit. Wondering if I have limes or did I forget.
    But it’s a two edged sword… because without chores; I’d be bored. At least Staying busy brings
    rewards, like clean floors and open doors, to hallways to bigger doors. Hard work has a
    harvest, so if it’s worth it, I work the hardest,even if I’m not the smartest… because endurance
    reaches targets. Keep your eyes fixed, don’t get caught up in the mix, as long as you don’t quit, or

  • Enemies Clear

    Love Poetry titled Clear Enemies

    (Poem) “Clear Enemies”

    The inspiration for this poem (Clear Enemies) is the traits of frenemies. -Author Urban Poems-

    Your enemies become real clear,
    when you’re down bad they got a ready ear,
    but your accomplishments they always hate to hear,
    and the laughs become real insincere,
    when your life prospers you can smell their fear,
    and their jealousy could make you shed a tear,
    It’s so sad because you used to keep them near,
    by their side you never ceased to cheer,
    when it feels like they wanna to domineer,
    like they trying to knock you out of your gear,
    then it’s time to leave those crabs in the rear.
    That’s the only way you learn to persevere.

    Clear Enemies revised version. ⬇️

    What’s an enemy to you? It doesn’t matter the point of view.
    An enemy remains the same because their games never change.
    You asked me. What makes a enemy clear? When you’re down bad they got a ready ear, but
    your accomplishments they always hate to hear, and the laughs become
    real insincere. Friends are filled with hate at a real high rate, sometimes it’s
    even yo mate. Determined to destroy yo fate… Next time you prosper pay attention to
    their fear. Their jealousy could make you shed a tear. It’s so sad
    because you used to keep them near. When by their side you never ceased to cheer.
    In everything they try to domineer. Like they tryna knock you out of your gear.
    That’s when it’s time to leave those crabs in the rear.
    That’s the only way you learn to persevere.

  • Fake Love

    Love Poetry titled Fake Love

    (Poem) “Fake Love”

    The Inspiration for this poem (Fake Love) was the heartbreaking realization that everyone that you love does not love you back. -Author Urban Poems-

    Why does your love seem fake… Its like you wanna see me break….It brings tears to my eyes.. I cry for you because I know you hate your own trials.. I get it.. It’s too many miles..  I can’t stand to feel your fear. The things you feel just make me wanna disappear.. The pain in your voice is hard to hear.. I thought my love was clear.. My personal decisions that affected no one affected everyone. It’s like we’re not allowed to be our own one. Like living on our own accord. Release me from this cord… Release your fear…  Let your soul release the tears.. We’re in two separate gears…life is short.. It’s time we find our better years..

  • Value Yourself

    Love Poetry titled Value Yourself

    (Poem) “Value Yourself”

    The inspiration for this poem (Value Yourself) is that a lot of young men and women grow up trying to find value in the wrong place. -Author Urban Poems-

    He was only 17 sexing a crack fein he never really had much of a self-esteem. He didn’t see his value so he had no values. So it didn’t really matter that she had no virtues. His worth was in between the legs a lady; It didn’t really matter that she kinda shady. When he was just a boy he was taught that lust was cool. So it became a must that he slept with all the girls at school. The love was never true so any hole would due. It never fulfilled his thirst because he put his manhood first. So his self esteem got worse. His worth became his semen because his lust was his demon. He asked God for a mate but God showed him his fate. So he called off all his dates. He felt a lot of wrath when he saw his future path. He learned to pray to God and let God have all his tears. He asked god for better years a life with no more fears. After all the many years he put his old life in the rears…he could finally see things clearer the new man in the mirror.

    Red pill blue pill, you say, I chose the cruise pill. I say cruel deal. You say it doesn’t seem real, because life’s all chill,  life seems fair.. you and your white friend rocking the same hair. You say it doesn’t even matter because we all the same people, yeah I call it sheeple. They say they don’t see color, as long as you don’t mention your brother who was shot by undercovers. I say with the pill I took life seems real. I suddenly like nappy hair and I  scream it to the air. Yeah I took that dare… I can now see a fake smile and your urge to make me frown… Why you wanna see me down… You said your life’s all good so why you wanna take my crown… You say the pill you took gives you worldly things.. Like money and golden rings.. But it doesn’t gives spiritual things. So it just feels like a fling with nothing real to bring.  But blue is your favorite color and it matches all the others so you chose the cool pill… it was the thing to do pill. No one wanted the red pill except for those that were taunted while you flaunted. You asked why I chose it since all the others opposed it. I say it just felt right, it helped me skip that plight. So It made me content inside. I think I chose the right side. I think I like this ride. Red pill blue pill. Try not to take the cruise pill.

    (Poem) “What Is Freedom To You?”

    A friend inspired this poem (What Is Freedom To You) by asking me to write a poem about freedom. To me it can mean different things to different people. -Author Urban Poems-

    What is freedom to you? Is it a pill when feeling blue? When you’re tired and feeling through..Some say freedom belongs to few… but there’s a different point of view… So I ask what is freedom to you? Is it the power to choose? kid’s say, just choosing my own shoes, while in prison it’s just having a choice of foods. So what is freedom to you? Is it breathing in fresh air? Or living without a care? Or is freedom just a dare, since the options are never fair. Your right to choose is rare. So what is freedom to you? You ask what’s my point of view. I realized that it’s true, that only God has the clue. So what is freedom to you?

    Identical personalities is that our new reality. Did we destroy our mentality? They robbed our souls while we slept and focused on looking well kept. I can’t except this new concept. There’s a new mission to focus on competition, to destroy our intuition, but it’s just a bunch of fiction. Fake lives and deep lies with zombie minds. I heard we the walking dead spreading lies, saying the same thing that he said. Manipulating, with the same words that he read. I wonder if they mailed that script to everybody.. or is lying just your favorite hobby. I watched you turn into a zombie from a beautiful work of art, man that broke my heart. It’s to bad we fell apart you forced my hand to depart. But I will always love you, you got a whole in my heart… I remember your art.

  • Meditation Forced

    Black Poetry titled forced meditation

    (Poem) “Forced Meditation”

    The inspiration for this poem (Forced Meditation) is the push through television, social media, and society that constantly shows the black community in a certain light to make us believe it. -Author Urban Poems-

    It’s time you take a stand, you’ve been hindered from being a man, your destination has been planned since birth.. You never seen a man like you have worth.. Your daddy’s gone you never seen him home… Momma’s feet are aching, but she never thought of flaking. She said she said leave my baby alone. Her guilt made her place you up on Trone. With mom rubbing your feet it made you wanna sleep but the only problem was there was no food to eat. Men use to be strong until master did them wrong.. Before they had a choice they left their families by force. So you see, a black man having a family, that’s just a fantasy. According to the tv thats just a white man’s thing and the next commercial shows your kind just chilling with a fling, with all the drama to bring. I mean it’s a trauma thing. The only hope u got is a Nba ring, I mean at least that’s what you heard. You could never be a nerd. Because the media says you should try rapping a couple words. So now you change your name to baby, o no Lil baby, I mean da baby, or should I say a baby. Don’t you get it you’ve been trained to be a baby depending on your lady, maybe not financially but you abandoned family so  you left them frantically. I heard slavery was dead but you a slave in your head. Scientists studied your dreads and all the books that you read. That’s how they got up in your head. So you already dead when you let them in your bed. You’ve already been bought.  Your ancestors paid the price back when they were fought. Now they control your thoughts. Cover your ears watch everything you hear. Control your mentality to change your reality. Don’t believe them when they tell you it’s just a song because where we’re from that’s how you end up hung.

    Yeah, maybe a few of you don’t have physical chains… but that don’t change the
