I never thought I would live through a pandemic that would kill so many men women and children. Where you're put in a situation where one simple shot is the meaning of survival or being put in the ground to rot. Riots on the streets news media reporting mankind's defeat. Children crying missing their mothers dying a needless death falling at the pandemics feet. For millions have died due to its existence. Lost pride gone in stride Jarred free. By this pandemic need for death and Carnage without empathy. So how can I have sympathy for my friends death. If I know that my mother's is soon to pass. Just in case I don't last. I'd like the world to know. This pandemic can kiss my ass

relationships are like

farts sometimes. when you know one's coming. you think it's going to be a relief. but once it happens it's just stinky wofts in the air a little and dissipates.

I no longer choose to breathe the bitter air of my enemies. I choose to breathe the Sweet Air of Liberty. And swim in the freedoms which was birthed to me. And I'm tired of the nerve in the words of those that would expect me to turn against my beliefs. Like I was just another sheep. The words you speak are cheap. All that really matters is I don't accept defeat. And that I'd be willing to meet. wherever you're willing to meet. whether it be in the middle or at the end it. doesn't really matter to me. As long as I continue to be the best version of me. And continuously Thrive 2 succeed

Why can't I be better than me. Why do some try and fail. never destined to succeed. I have nothing but will and determination to proceed. In each dream that I dream.and the will to overcome any obstacle in front of me. Do I not measure up to the rest of society. The truth is that some of us will die chasing our dreams. You can do everything right still just out of sight. Scratching, crawling, still never giving up the fight. More delusional you get night after night. Pursuing something you will never get regardless of your plight. Slowly dying is your dream. Like machines we will wake tomorrow. Prepared for sorrow and pray for a better tomorrow. Always striving to get to where we need to be. Years pass and we will still be surrounded by the same geography. With the same delusional dream..

I don't want to be a hero that's revered. I want to be a villain that is feared. Then perhaps my message will be heard loud and clear.live and let live all that other nonsense get the fuck outta here. I want a nation of total equality ya hear. You get a beer, and you get a beer. Don't care about one's race. Economically one's place. How many times you have failed at the rat race. When a person fails at something. ethnicity wouldn't even place. Not third, second, or first place. It is sickening that one can be condemned for what God has put in place. The color of one's skin what a ridiculous reason for a man to sin. What a waste of what could have been a really good friend. Perhaps as a villain, I can force the world to listen to reason. I am a symbol of hero less treason . Waiting patiently for next season.

You are special, love flows through everything you do. It's worthwhile knowing you. I would drive for miles just to see you smile. Astounded you have graced me with a child. Like a beast in the wild stalking its prey mile by mile. Determined, ruthless, cunning, I will not fail my pride. For all I have is all that I have made. Like the lion, I Can Not Be Tamed. Attempt at harm and you will be maimed. Like the lion, I place no blame. I just go for the kill, I play no games. What brought this on, my wife gave me a child. No longer can I live in denial. I must stand and be a man. It's not just my life at hand. Three other hearts play A Part. And it's up to me whether I put them on the path to fail or succeed. Like the lion, I will be a king. And do the right thing. Why because the word dad has a nice ring.

I struggle to understand why I am the way that I am. I work six days a week constantly on my feet. With two children I stay determined as can be. Mindset nothing absolutely nothing can beat me. As I quietly sit back watch other people succeed. doing bare minimum doing a hell of a lot less than me. Is this just my destiny. Struggling almost borderline poverty. It's insane it would appear that all I have is my modesty. I wasn't born a prodigy. Nor Rich family I lack that commodity. Why is it that some can just jump online. Be handed the world topped with a lime. shaken not stirred so f****** absurd. And then there are those of us that truly deserve. but get overlooked or under-booked you can say it's lack.of determination but I am in that situation. I don't want to be rich nor famous. Just support my family. And be given what's deserved. Be recognized for what I've done instead of just be purged.

As I sit inside closing in are the walls around Me. But yet outside absolutely nothing astounding. The media is always so negative sounding. Always reporting that the economy is still not rebounding. Covid-19 on the Street's it's pounding. Could be lurking behind any mask just smiling. No matter how much you disinfect or inspect. It has no respect for anything that you do to try and deflect. Your life it's looking to wreck. Or worse I suspect. But what can one do but hope and pray to make it through? In case I never get to meet you. Through this poem, I hope to reach you. To remind you that this soon will be through. Back to your friends and all your old rules. Social distancing will soon be old news. Never truly gone will COVID be. The next one could be a stronger virus you see. Waiting to devour what's left of humanity. Remember this as you live in your vanity.

I am the one who is by your side each and every time you cry who am I.I am the one who helps you with every problem you face and every time you feel disgraced who am I. I'm always sought-after but never seen. But yet I constantly intervene. Future consequence unscene. I'm that inner voice you hear telling you which way to steer. To you my plan unclear. I calm your fear and fill your inner worries with hopes and cheer. In me you can rest assured that a new day is near .your best day let's make that clear. Who am I
