***His Work

This Poem is dedicated to You

We can make love but before we even take it there…
I’m the type of man that appreciates the moments shared…
I can spend hours just running fingers through your hair…
Ask me any question baby
We can play truth or dare…
I ain’t neva scared
Not afraid to open up
Nothing fake about me
You will neva see me nip and tucked
Everything I tell you I don’t tell you just to get your stuff
And I don’t even try to make you happy
It is effortless…
To me it’s second nature
Kinda like breathing…
I knew about pleasing
Before I was even teething…
I’m sayin…
Really I’m not sayin that you need a man…
But if I’m passing out love
You should receive it then…
See I’m the type to text you every morn.
You know…
Right before the stretch
Or just after the yawn…
That’s cuz you mean a lot to me
You inspire my poems.
I might take singing lessons
Just to sing you a song…
I’m sayin…
I neva have to lie
Always stay faithful
If god gives me you then I’m grateful…
I can be playful
Just to make you smile and laugh
And I’m intelligent
I can help you out in class…
I wanna make it last…
Become your perfect match…
So I can heat you up and melt you like some candle wax…
If you cry I wanna wipe away your tears
And if you’re ever scared I’ll fight away your fears
To me you’re so fly
I’m talkin heights above your peers
I catch goose bumps anytime that you are near…
Smile anytime your name is even mentioned
I am here to listen
I will always pay attention…
I wanna make sure that food is on your plate…
Don’t wanna be too good of friend
You wouldn’t wanna date…
I’m sayin…
I’m all about you
I will go in…
I’m 99
Don’t settle for all these 1 percents…
I’ll be your husband
Friend
We can make up some shit…
I just wanna be the one you say you fuckin with…
And this is on a when you’re ready basis
Because I have patience
That’s how far I wanna take this…



The Most High

She said god doesn’t love her
And she puts her Faith into a higher power…
I tried to tell her that god is the most high…
But my words fall on def ears
Cuz I try to reach her when she’s…
Most high…
I tell her,
Baby…
Believe in him and he will heal you…
She ignores me and says reach me that spoon…
As she…
Wraps a belt around her arm…
And says to me…
While you so called Christians use your god’s name in vain…
My god is with me…
In vein…
Needles pierce skin and her god enters her system…
Her equivalent…
To catching a holy ghost…
And I just want to hold her close…
But her mirror is clouded with smoke…
How could she ever know…
That…
The only clouds she needs to be around
Are the ones angels walk on…
Instead she rather bathe in a cesspool of self hate…
I tell her,
Baby everything will be ok
Just pray…
She said I been lost faith
The day I was raped…
So don’t come here...
Telling me bout god…
And Jesus…
The man that raped me had “fear god” on his chest
Which is all I saw before he shoved in his penis…
Yea…
I was afraid…
I tried to tell my momma I was raped…
And you know what she said…?
Yo fast ass probably let him…
So I turned to my pastor…
Tried to tell him…
Then it hit me…
He was the one that did it…
Yea…
This “God Fearing” man
Took away my innocence…
Haa…
I tried to tell momma…
And she kicked me out…
Her Trust in God
Maid her ignore her own daughter…
And I never had a father
So who was I to turn to…?
Well…
I met this dude…
He was cute…
And charming
And everything a girl like me needed at the time…
He saw me crying…
And I guess to him I was fine
Cuz he even said it…
A girl as fine as you shouldn’t be walking up the street crying…
You should be with me…
And to me…
He was so sweet…
He told me…
And at that time I didn’t wanna believe…
But he said that god sent him to me…
And he could give me everything I need…
He had flashy rings
Nice clothes
And a nice car…
He told me…
Baby I’ma make you a star…
Real smooth too…
So I went with him…
Wasn’t long after
That I found out he was pimpin’
And he recruited me to be his new hoe…
I had nowhere else to go…
So I became his new hoe…
Turning tricks
So he could look fly
With his flashy suits…
And…
Shiny sticks…
And you know what he had the nerve to wear around his neck…?
A damn crucifix…
One of the other prostitutes told me God is what pimps and preachers use to control us…
It all maid sense
Since I’ve experienced it with both…
She told me,
My god is my dope…?
You believe in this
And you will let all your worries go…
So I didn’t hesitate to smoke…
I’ve been high ever since…
Got turned on to heroin…
And that medicine…
Became my divine intervention…
So what can you tell me about god...?
Christian…
I told her that was not god
And that it was the devil posing in his image…
She said how was I supposed to know the difference?
I told her if she would just listen…
She begins to fade away…
I said…
HEY!
HEY!
Checked for a pulse…
DAMN…
She’s dead…





I hope you all enjoyed...*snap* *snap* *snap*

NFL Playoffs Opinon

So, what have we learned from the Wild Card Playoff games that took place this past weekend??? Its safe to say that Baltimore came ready with Super Bowl in mind. Their offense shined so bright against New England and their defense punched Tom Brady & Company right in the mouths! As a Saints fan, I'm hoping the Ravens are silenced early & don't go too far because their intensity right now is unmatched. With Ray Lewis pumped & ready to destroy, Rice running like he running for his life they are capable of dismantling even the best of teams, quite possibly the Colts who they face this coming weekend...

Dallas defeating the Eagles was surprising but even more surprising was how Philly played with no effort. The only person who did what they were supposed to do was Michael Vick. Vick's first appearance on the field & first pass was converted for a Touchdown. Philly's offensive line was absent, guess they didn't get the memo that there was a game to be played and a Quarterback to protect. Receivers were quiet, mainly Twitter trash tallking DeSean Jackson, I guess it was Dallas who stung your asses instead huh??? Westbrook barely played, McCoy tried his best but to no avail. Tony Romo & Company were successful in breaking their December curse...I guess congrats are in order??? Nah, not yet. They get props AFTER they play the hungry Vikings led by Brett Favre.

Arizona & Green Bay put up a lot of points and thanks to Arizona's shifty kicker Rakers the game was forced into overtime. It was very obvious that Arizona got comfortable and lax after they gained a substantial lead over Green Bay early int he first half. Green Bay then capitalized on this and scored & then off a "nothing to lose" onside kick they recovered & went on from there to not only score but continued to gain on Arizona and tie the game. For a moment it was back and forth touchdowns. Each team saying anything you can do I can do better & faster. Nevertheless, shortly after entering overtime, GB had 1st possession, Rodgers took a nasty hit on what I believe was 2nd or 3rd down...ball pops out and lands conveniently in the hands of one of Arizona's defensive player Karlos Dansby, who then returned it for a touchdown. Barn burner...maybe...Cardinals now come to New Orleans for a down south beatdown...

Cincinnati and New York was possibly the most disappointing game in the fact that it seemed Cincy didn't even show up to play. Carson Palmer was passing the ball so high you would think his receivers were 7'5 instead of 6'3, 6'5...almost getting his players injured as they stretched to attempt to catch the ball. The run game was very present as Cedric Benson ran like a work horse however, it wasn't enough against the Jets' defense. Chad Ochocinco was silenced (on his 32nd birthday nonetheless) by foe Revis who proved he is the man for his position. Cincinnati's defense was even able to make Mark Sanchez look like an NFL Quarterback HAHA, which is sometimes impossible. The game got out of hand early...therefore I will spend no more time on it here either...Jets now head to San Diego where I believe they will be dismantled from start to finish...
