How hypocritical can the US Federal Government can be. Why not trying to recover all the money that have been stolen from Innocent Law abiding American Citizens through their so Infamous Subprime Letting?
Why not descend on Wall Street and arrest all those thieves who strive on innocent people? No, this cannot be done because Corruption and Favoritism Do Not Allow them to do so.

Dear Education Reformers: Your efforts towards more accountability is duly noted, but it takes a community to raise a child. A look at the top public educational systems is enough to shed light on the structural issues within American public schools, where over crowded classrooms eliminate needed individual attention, and subjects are taught in preparation for yearly high stake test....

Up at 5am
NY is a different kind of beast at 5am, its almost serene silent, but wen you listen closely, u can hear the echo of tired footsteps making their elderly way home. You can see the bedroom lights fighting against the dark night and the smell that same congested, overpopulated smell that never goes to sleep. I journeyed my way through empty street and up up at prospect park with my dog Anubis at my...

Rhapsody Blues
The mistakes we make scar deep blue Like sea blues That she blew. Reflecting ever-changing fickle moons She: a standing ovation of godlike summers was chasing a half filled copper spoon half empty with golden truths I loved her Still. Lies a lie too late and i lie thousands of miles up late dreaming that lie over and over and over A scar a crater of indecision cemented deep like sea...

Who Loves anymore?
Who loves anymore?
Its just used condoms
and dried up poems
Cracked lips from solitude
and sweaty fingers anxious
like lies, it happens all to sudden like lullabies.
Everyone loves the idea of love

A piece of insanity in every heart...
What happens to a love deferred?
He wondered
Does it shrivel up like Hughes?
Or does it stain like regret?
If he could he would write
himself a forgetful poem
and piece together
Her silence with his future
Insanity is always apart of his world
She.
Never thinks him.

A story i once heard...
She smelled like a story i once knew. A familiar kinda prose, baldwin like, in structure, long, complicated, elegant. Her face, chiseled from the myth of eve, was permanently melancholic even when she smiled. I couldn’t help but feel her pain. i traced it with a poem i once wrote. Placing very careful my words against the scabs of men i once grew from. She hid behind her eyes as i worked and...
