  • IT STARTS FROM WHERE I’M STANDING

    by ERIC

    losing composure
    with little to no closure
    catching the focus
    of the surrounding environment
    with the words
    that weren’t appropriate
    voyaging into the opening
    of lost words unspoken
    soaking in the orbiting commotion
    of the people just asking…”what happened?”
    whishing for captions
    so they can skim for their unneeded knowing
    of the opposite side launching
    a verbal barrage
    at an unarmed soldier
    unprepared for any perpetrating
    predator piloting toward where
    the ground is lower
    that drops bombs with astonishing kosher
    shells of the argument
    just lays and it bolsters
    the chip on the shoulder is now a boulder
    on the soldier…the soldier
    is me and the shells of the argument
    scar me
    I just wish I could say I’m sorry

     

  • HOUSE OF A THOUSAND CRIMINALS

    by ERIC

    A foundation filled with mirages
    The steps of the future are decrepit
    Fall through with the mistakes made
    Turning in different directions
    Like a painting with a Picasso setting
    A Collage of the past thoughts
    Etched into the walls complexion
    Try to mirror the foundation
    But receive unattainable reflection
    The hallways are ongoing
    And locked doors open with every lecture
    A life lesson learned
    in every sector
    But taking away with the seepage
    From the rotting of the roof
    Depleting the blessings
    Of the house warming gifts of knowledge
    Because of hallucinations embedded
    The skeletons inside the closets
    Are vexing
    Homeowners pay for inspection
    Who wants to live in home like this
    Vacancy of something so tainted since its inception
    Leaves the neighbors so prejudice
    Fence in the house from the sidewalk to the alley
    So no one ventures to peddle
    Near a house filled with a 1000 criminals
    We the people ,who do not visit
    call prison.

  • INSURGENTS

    by ERIC

    Life is the soul necessity and war is the gauntlet that
    Pillages these privileges,
    Witnessing,
    Through the eyes of those that sacrifice the lives of others like Leviticus,
    Through severe hemorrhaging
    Of the hearts of citizens,
    Profusely dripping of innocence
    or misunderstanding, and is commemorated and the future remembers it.
    Legitimate
    Reasons of why there is a middle eastern toddler in a sun dress underneath her tricycle quivering
    snatched away from adulthood from a stray this can’t illustrated and you can’t picture it.
    Innocent lives lost from the bickering.
    Ricocheting sentiments
    Don’t seem to reach the roofs or walls,
    no remorse for the bullet wounds in jaws.
    Spoon feed the generations the statement violence doesn’t resurrect anger it just soothes then calms.
    Then expect the eastern hemisphere, just move along, conclude with a open palm
    that clutches no white flag to fluctuate a strong way to validate surrender.
    They retaliate with their members,
    one side could cannon peace while hope is still a slimmer with a bow and quiver,
    an arrow dipped in love to replace a bullet will forever be the strongest victor.

  • POETRY . . .

    by ERIC

    Reflective poetic objectives
    Outline a silver lining that shines  corrections to wrong questions
    The bottom of the kettle
    Is swept and polished clean by poverty effected
    people that non-comically pick up a pen to write symphonies
    of poetic past enmity’s of their memories of how they were thrown into a world naked shrouded in depression
    Warmth of security of way to channel their thoughts taken leaving a library of thoughts lost in  collection
    Until poetry finally flows them down a river of new direction of recollection
    These conditions that doesn’t behoove the promptly ejected
    Not turning up a brow because of the similar circumstances
    Surprisingly the silver spoons
    By the thrown away side scribing their affections
    Upon the mentally arrested
    Spreading thoughts with a stanza
    Patiently waiting for the community to get it
    Words written in the distance
    can be swallowed through the ears and the eyes
    a fixation flipped to the vixens
    The freedom of speech has many volunteers that use poetry as a vessel of depiction
    So taking on to much to chew is non-existent
    Because the obscure metaphorically can’t be bitten
    Poetry overpowers war it just takes a world to listen.

  • STEEL AND STONE CHILDHOOD

    by ERIC

    Flourishing thoughts hum the deepest agony
    Wisdom is practically
    The thoughts imbedded in loss of the trail of the pursuit of happiness
    Figments travel on this walkway only being imaginative
    Dreams of being reunited and a realignment with parenting
    To cushion intense life’s basic paddling
    But this dream or mere thought lacks validness
    A steed once road upon becomes an ass it isn’t worth saddling
    A breed that adopted a gang infestation
    With violence as the inauguration
    Mostly because of lack of communication
    Is this kin really family and could this substitute minor provider enlighten the household with patience
    When the being blessed with the darkness, the hate the government gave little infants everywhere by a fathers captivation
    In stone and steel withheld in the public eye, a child’s humiliation
    To withhold the pain of a scent that traveled by a poltergeist of an institution
    The lack of working man’s fragrance
    Leaving a woman to bring hold the bacon
    With a child bathed in hatred
    To run amok in a fathers absence
    To only to come back after imprisonment
    To train the child to channel hate into poetic sentences
