Hello Passions, this is just some poem I wrote like months ago....I randomly chose to post for this for no reason....I just hope y'll like it though...if not, just let me know and I'll find something different for y'll to read...peace and one love! It's a mans' world as man suceed or fail, make a difference in life, or end up in prison or jail with a number of wasted years, attached to your life because, you played stupid and refused to live right and now, your new wardrobe is, black and white stripes. And as you lay and rot in that cell, I have no sympathy for you homes because, every man need to understand and accept the responsibility of their own and see that, the consequences of their actions, could send them to a life of imprisionment, for an act they could prevent. And as you lay in that cell, you're feeling the backlash now and I bet, you wanna backtrack now as you've got your head to the ground replaying that scene, in the back of your mind wishing that, you could turn back the hands of time wishing that, you hadn't comitted that crime wishing you hadn't, pulled the trigger of that nine and wiped away, another black brother of yours as well as mine as you're wishing those tears, wouldn't fall from your eyes because, you thought you was tough but, tough men don't cry so basically, your a boy trying to be a man and because of it, you've just jeopardized your future and your relationship with your wife as she just told me over the phone that, she's had enough of your crap and she's fixing to pack her bags and leave and find a man who's gonna support her needs and most importantly, a man with maturity cause as of now, you seem to have none my son as you've fallen to the hypnotic powers of the gun but at least, you have regrets for your crime and hopefully, you've learn from your mistakes and handle the situation better next time cause, it's a man world that's ruled by grown men not little boys so if you wanna play and be carefree then I suggest, you find yourself a toy, homeboy! |

Wow Nate! This one has so much truth in it! People should be more cautious and think of consequences before taking action. Not just men, women too! It's crazy how a little argument can escalate into something huge if you don't stop yourself! Someone once told me, either you control your attitude or it controls you! Words to live by in my book! Very good write Nate! much love, RosePetal |

I'm feeling this poem! A lot brothers hear in Brooklyn need to read this because they think taking lives and acting like thugs is a way of life. Thanks for this truth. Poetry is spiritual ventilation! |

 (tears fall down my cheeks) Oh my gosh, I don't know what to say, for my words too reflect Joanna's, and I also wish that we can all look deeper and feel no shame in expressing ourselves and letting the tears flow so we can love one another closer and not be governed by such rigid discipline! (sigh) I wish we can all open our hearts and let love and compassion shine to all! (sigh) So sad but true, sweet Dogg, your words are outstanding! We all love you, sweet friend, I can't wait to read more of your marvelous words! (big hugggssssss) You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Dogg, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Nate, it is so easy to say "not me!!" But it can happen to every one of us if we lose sight of ourselves. I have a dear friend in prison and never dreamed in a hundred years that would happen! One wrong decission and then another and another. Thanks for sharing this with us and lets hope we ALL decide to think before we take that wrong step..... Mother_Earth |

I love poems that create a picture and I could feel this man and his agony. Great paint!! We all reach that time in our life when we meet that "won't happen to me moment". It's a horrible place. I wish moments like these didn't happen, but indeed these are the ones that shape and define us the most, whether we want them to or not. It's what we do with them that is the key!! |

Sounds very much like you told it like it is. No one could expect less than the truth, when needed. Well done! |
