You are right
And I’m wrong
Like a bad song
I keep my lips tight
And my face as long
As I can all year long.
Oftentimes Right is Wrong and Wrong is Right
But how does that happen how does that happen?
It is not the acts that's Right or Wrong
but perception of those who judge
Right may not be often too right
Sometimes the wrong becomes the right
Other times two rights in unison become not so right
Here we have a Mr right who thinks might is right
His right seems so riotous
I've Heard These Words ...
Throughout My Life ...
"TWO WRONGS Virge,
DON'T Make A Right !"
The oceans turn to acid
And the corals die
The shellfish larvae dissolve
Into scattered molecules,
The Arctic is warming
And the sea ice melts away
Leaving the briny blue exposed
When Time was There
It’s not about the money,
Not about the price,
Not about the hatred growing up on the rise
To understand a healthy relationship,
you must understand a healthy self.
Neither should you starve to death,
nor should you stock junk food on the shelf.
To understand a healthy relationship,
you must understand a healthy self.
Neither should you starve to death,
nor should you stock junk food on the shelf.
The reason that I love you is simply very clear,
'cause when I am around you I can feel no fear.
Enfolded in your arms, warm in your embrace,
all of my troubles I know I can face.
Since you are my darling and my dear
i write a list of names on my arm, i don't know which ones right, him or you? i don't know which one i love, i just can't bare being with you, should i write your name again? does it even feel right? it feels wrong.
We are America...
the land of the free, the home of the brave,
yet we stll have many crises pertaining to inequality, poverty, Geneaolgy, social class, economic wealth and generosity.
Looking up at the stars
feeling the grass on feet
tears in eyes
blood in the street.
The wind is howling,
the birds all scream,
at the horrendous crimes
that the media eats.
Reaching out
And reaching out.
Help the helpless
But I am the helpless.
Standing out is too much
Blending in is too little.
Standing Rock, so brave and free.
It seems the rest of the world, they don't see, the police aren't here to protect you and me.
My presence may not be felt there, but my mind travels far.
Oh caption my caption
Is where it all started
It was Honors English 11 and I was nearly departed
We have been doing poetry for a while
And I was quite tired
Everyone seemed to hate this unit
We go in and say our peace, stay to ourselves leaving in disbelief. No need for unwanted keep and a trial should be brief. These are citizens of a country they have a right to be free.
Begin with a blank canvas
A piece of paper with no identity
And scribble a word or two
Make your memories into a photograph
Using only what you know best
Words
That is the axis
Bury me where the water is clear
where there is no hate or talk of despair
I want to know what that kind of life is like
for a soldier who stood fighting
an unknown right.
it all began in parallel lines at the centre
then a little calculations in the virtual median
proved the proofs during deviations
and would be on constant calculations
I'm right, you're wrong.
And I have every right to write that I'm right, because I'm not wrong
Deep in a forest
Where the wind blows
Lives the grass,
the trees and grow.
They strive off of life
And they know what is right
Here is where the wind blows
And the trees and grass grow.
Him.
He is all.
He is one.
He knew what would happen when time was done.
Time.
The time we live in does not last forever.
So how can one say that we will always be together?
It’s not a gift.
I'm on the verge
Can't you feel the energy surge
I'm almost there
So beware
25,000 points seemed out of sight
But I scored it with all my might
And that's right
It was a very hard fight!
Won't you hold me tight
In the middle of the night
Don't turn on the light
Hold me with all your might
You know it ain't right
If we have a fight
That seems to be my plight
But your out of sight!
I assure you
I have the right
To be mad
For I have been
Betrayed
But I also
Assure you
That I do not
Have the right
The following poem is an Elizabethan sonnet.
Since I was young I looked up to the stars.
The second to the right my eyes did meet.
And though the twinkling speck seemed very far
Is it truly fun?
To see them writhe in pain
Your an awfully sick bastard
What have you to gain?
If i hurt you as you did to them
Would you still be smiling
And decide that it's okay
upon a dandilion i blew
its seeds floaten soflty on a breeze so true
and the wish that engulfed my heart and my soul
was a wish that had something to do with you
that night i saw a shooting star
Wrong.
A word we'd rather not hear. I'm not sure who constituted it. Who started it. Who decided what it was and wasn't, but it's here now.
Wrong.
In kindergarten they start teaching you about lines, you learn how a horizontal line is like the horizon,
In the world we live in today, people are not as grateful as they were in the past. The truth of the matter is, nobody cares for anybody anymore.
Every dog will have his day
At least that is what they say
But this often isn't true
Those most deserving are neglected what they are due
No good deed goes unrewarded
I do not have nine lives
My wounds take time to heal
They hurt and I have no pain medicine
When I am abused, how do you think I feel?
I do not shed human tears
But I do make noise from the pain
With tears unshed, and eyes open wide Days of class and work and normal blur by, But now I think I’m safe with eyes dried, Yet why do I always feel about to cry? This world is cruel, not one I trust as a friend That has not hurt my heart or mind,
How am I?How am I?I'm fine
I'm fighting back rageAt a broken down system
I'm crying in painFor accepted ignorance
I'm screaming bloodFor everyday injustice
I'll never be "that" girl
But l can be THIS girl
Silk tresses will never swim on the small of my back
Only coiled curls will dance freely on the nape of my neck
Why can’t you believe that I deserve it all?
Is it because I am young, I am black? Because I’ve answered the call?
You claim success is colorblind, that any can achieve,
Many dream of popularity, riches, and wealth,
but what they overlook is the guidance to the right of your shelf.
Act like this, act like that, and be who you see,
but life isn't all about being who you perceive.
Like the rain flows freely. Poetry does to the soul.
Speaking legions of stories in just a poem.
As everything begins to unfold.
The sun may come; The day may end.
When we were just kids,Playing outside with all the other demonsI used to hide in the shadows,Terrfied of what these demons thought of me.
Change.
the idea thrills us
the thought of it happening scares us
the results would amaze us
but the work load loses us.
change a life
change a friend
change your clothes
change
I've been asleep.
I never knew why i liked poems
i never really did like'em
they are just free words
most of the time
absurd absurd freee words
oh This Morning
I felt it
felt it coming
Either good or bad..
I couldn't tell
if I'd be mad
but that fell
If it falls, it breaks
thats the risk
Night.
A time filled with darkness.
Darkness. Close your eyes
and you will know. But,
true darkness surrounds you,
you can feel its prescence,
"I would see you fail
Before I'd let us both
succeed,"
Thought one line of track
To the other,
As the train was derailed.
I write because it is MY right.
To put pen to paper, to speak against the night.
The night, so dark, so cold.
It is my right to have my story told.
I write because I am a wright. A playwright,
they had
waited for the sun
in a world with only shadows
the dominant character in a story with no sun
no light for those the society had its back on
the society was the villain
laws were its wicked deeds
It is 1960 and there are two drinking fountains.
Colored on the left, white on the right.
A young black girl shuffles her feet forward slowly in line.
They drag along the dirt and make lines in the ground.
Vote
It shouldn’t be a question
Go vote
Let them know that you have a voice
Vote
It is not a suggestion
Go vote
Because you have the choice
