They can have a mastery in chairology , hairology
ecology, or deep theology, neat biology, 
even rhymatology,  
with no college degree 
 least that's what I see 
but it really don't matter who where  how and when the hell they be, 
wut they study, or if they
learned from the university or library 
yard sales, jungles,  streets or from a dam tree
they's family

The Hero

As I sit comfortably in my room

You lie in a cot in the middle of the desert.

As I write about you

Your thinking about killing and dying.

As I am in mourning for your band of fallen brothers

You are crying for them.

As I tie yellow ribbons around all the trees in my street

You’re hoping to come home and stand on that street.

As you fight for this great country

America, Your America

I honor you for you are brave.

You are willing to pay the ultimate price

To protect this countries freedom.

You are the true American hero.

You are a United States Soldier.

 

A spiritual experience

As I walk into the holy of holies
Incense filling my lungs
Harmonies echoing from the choir balcony 
Saints’ statues seemingly staring at me
 
I become contrite.
 
While kneeling at the golden alter, tightly clutching my rosary
Asking God for his sovereign forgiveness
Visions of angels wings shielding me from jeopardy
Listening to the sacred chanting
Taking the wine and bread in my hands
What precious blood and body this is!
I am absolved and made whole again. 

Tell Me
inaudible secrets
heard among stifled whispers

tell me.

languid cries resound in my soul
with a fiery passion
diffusing desperation

tell me ...

the silence is like a deafening curse put on my supple lips
I am dreaming of indigo interludes to divert my attention
But i am like a child, my mind will plague me about this unknown mystery.

so tell me!

~ Makini Raziya Slaughter

Why is it when one man see's, the next man turn's blind. 

Why is it when i lie i feel trapped. 

Why is it when i try to speak, i start to stu-studier. 

Why do i fall for traps over and over again. 

Why does the human race not consider there faith when it come to the end of there race. 

Gun shoots shatter one's dreams. 

Why is a baby's death in his mothers wound. 

Why is it when one see's the light, they dare to run into the night. 

Why is it when i speak it, i can't seem to write it. 

Why is it, one's love for you can push them away. 

Why is it, some of your friends turn into your best friends and your best friends leave you at the end. 

Why is life so short. 

Why do i know so much. 

Why do i see so much. 

Why am i split in half. Fighting the good and the bad. 

Why; is the question. 

The question i ask you. 

Why do you do what you do. 

I dare to ask you.

Title: childhood wishes
Genre: Poem

When I was a child
Have endless innocent wishes and desires,
I don’t know, what desires?
But desires ever entertained,
Regarded and maintained, 
My parents,
And soon became aim and sole goal
With No peace and rest  
Linger in their life.
Until my wishes weren’t executed.
