My existence is an act of war.

I was not bred by submissive women—

I talk back

And don’t always know when to admit I’m wrong.

Dishes will rise to the ceiling,

Becoming a cesspool for plagues

And maggots.

I’ll step over the piles of dog dung in the den

And leave them for you to squelch your toes in its cold, mushy heap of smelly waste

When you’re half-asleep,

Making your morning commute to your d...

It brings us closer together

It makes us laugh and cry

Our heart grow a little bit fonder

And we cry out in joy

We won we won we won

Until we don’t

And blame the one across the table

It’s all in fun and games

It’s all out of love

That friendly competition

Of playing card games with your friends....

Uno

One girl

A girl without a friend

One whom is alone

Who needs a someone

But is broken and bruised

indefinitely

Solitary

Like being locked in a room

With white padded walls

Pitch black

and silent

She needs a light

but the candle is burnt out

The lonliness

consumes her

Alone

Friendless

Reaching for a hand that isnt there

Hoping for someone to care

Her heart aches for an answer

Or for some...

As your hand goes to my face, my heart began to race,

In fear, unlike what I say.

After all, we are just playing slap jacks.

One hit turns to three, then five,

How am I still alive?

My heart aches,

Missing the days,

Where I could pretend it was all but a game,

A game called slap jacks....

You gather them round, and you talk real square

‘til you get them hooked. Then, you make a dare

balled of everyone’s dreams to get ahead,

while you seem as good and safe as a loaf of bread.

You sell them your service, your investment, your pitch.

They buy it to pull themselves up from the ditch.

You’re standing on top of their shoulders to seem

Better than them in your pyramid scheme....

There once was a king who had five sons. Before his demise, he divided his kingdom into five equal parts, one for each soon to rule over. He hoped that this would avoid conflict over who would be king. And for the first five years, the plan worked.

But then one day, the eldest brother, Gerard, grew greedy. He was his fathers eldest son. Why could not he have possession over all the land? With th...

Granny granny, can we play cards now?

We can sit down and play a game before bed, just one though!

Please granny, just one more game first to 100 points win.

Okay dear, but then it is time for bed young lady.

Granny, look I won!

Yes dear, now it is time for bed. Oh granny please can we play one more game?

Tomorrow we can, tomorrow is a new day.

It’s time to wake up dear child, go brush...

Jab against my coat, sharp and sly

Finger darts, then shoots right by

I whirl around, my pulse a flare

But the source is gone, no one there

A tap, a spark, like secret code

A thrill, what fun, like a la mode

Look again, empty space, such a pill

The poker, so quick, unseen but still

The nudge runs down my sleeve like fire

Fast whip around, my thoughts conspire

But nothing shows, no trace to see

T...

steam rays are hotter the light beams

demons be lovely and frieghting

niggas we always be fighting

hate that i kept it a mic thing

time that i strike wit da lightning

flash until nobody likes me

the path that i locked is behind me...

I stacked them up alright

played them all good

put em on the table nice

none up my sleeves

(last I checked)

I put the King on top

and put myself there too

it all came crashing down

they’ll call it deconstruction

I’ll call it tragedy

they’ll nod and say they get it

fidgeting with their card of houses

I’ll nod and play along

cause that’s all I do anymore...
