A life has been taken Nah, it wasn’t a case of identity mistaken Another black man life was lost Who will pay the cost For too long we sat back and chilled Watching as our brothers and sisters have been killed Accused and blamed for lying, cheating, and stealing Still no excuse for the repeated killing When will you change When will we stop accepting the blame There are no winners in this game Why…

Never Silenced by Gena Storm Spoken Word Freestylist

I’m not shutting up, I can never be silenced, making others aware is what I do because I care, I’m a chronic pain syndrome sufferer, there is no off day or buffer… I could easily lose my mind, pain consumes me most days, it’s constant but not a friend, I’m having a rare low pain day, not taking it for granted in any way, I’m cautiously doing chores, eating light, staying hydrated, my photosensitivity won’t…

How Many Lives by DaKiara

How Many Lives by DaKiara

How many lives will be plucked Until someone begins to give a phuck How many fathers left broken Seems like we are the only ones joking Heeing and Hawing as another child is slain Outraged by all of the pain Preventative measures we must take Instead of reacting once the dam breaks Blood is spilled Mothers are being killed It is a full on assault Let them feel the wrath They ultimately brought I’m not…

What Is This Thing Called love Anyway by Pat Trishvision Brown

What is this thing called love anyway…Is it real or just a myth Is it the impossible dream…Delusions of grandeur…Or so it seems My heart was all I had to offer…Given faithfully as a gift Broken promises equal shattered dreams…Now my light inside hesitates to gleam Keep trying but to no avail Feel like a loser…Continue to fail Your exquisite charm…Camouflaged the alarms And the sirens…I was blinded Elapsed memories should have reminded me Of…
