I Write

Art by Aaron Griffin
I’m not angry
I’m just tired
So I write to gain some sort of resolve 
Internally
Cuz externally this space we live in
The hyphen between birth and death
What we inherently label life 
Couldn't be life, could it? 
Cuz we ain’t living

It’s a civil war 
Physically and spiritually
A game of Four Corners
In that corner the "Socially Accepted"
In the other corner the "Politically Correct" 
Over there the "Religiously Programmed"
And right there the "On Trend Buzz Word Bullies"
The rest of us 
Very few of us
Are left alone in a room full of people
Chameleon'd into believing 
This is just the world we live in

I’m not confused
Just voided of scope
So I write with hopes
That my words 
Help regain peace 
With a glimpse of optimism 
At the very least 

I wish the fluidity of empathy and respect was pushed just as hard as war heroes push sexuality.

I wish we could listen more than we talk 
So our plans are effective enough to activate
I wish we would put sanctions on history repeating itself




I wish we’d learn to tap into our own humanity
So we are able to see the humanity in others

I wish we knew how to individually control and govern ourselves 
So we can stop surrendering to ego that yearns to control and govern others 

I wish I didn’t have to spend my days wishing for shit...
That I honestly don't believe ain’t going to ever really happen.

I’m not hopeless
I’m just dejected
So I write a prayer of healing
Knowing that with each prayer is a call to action

I pray for a world affirming that GOD controls this space in time

I pray for a removing of idle sit backs
set backs
back tracks

I pray for a move into a new mindset 
A kindred virtue

I pray for a move towards explicit healing 
Ourselves 
Our families
So we don't continue to ferment the toxicity
That poisons generations


Alone in a room full of people
I write

Tired
I write

Void of scope 
I write

Dejected
I write

Prayerfully
I write

I write knowing 
This is my contribution to revolution
