Radical Me

My message lies hidden inside the mist of the lead with which it spreads|

I hold embedded the pains and shackles in which many lay|

I show no fear in the words forming inside my innermost thoughts|

My eyes blinded with fury after many years of being manipulated with lies|

Minuscule the bigger picture shackled in frame|

I maintain that message|

Which formed as I skimmed through pages of manuscripts|

They did not want me to read|

I searched and found my voice hidden inside a mountain cave sitting dormant|

Subversive beneath a cemetery in the woods of fight and glory|

Pride and justice|

Beacon of hope for the restless|

House of terror for the investors|

The dream arose from a sleepwalker walking along the divided line|

Enchanted by the beauty in the words inside of a ghetto|

In the middle of nowhere|

No one to listen|

But I listened and arose|

Cleared my throat|

And out came a menacing voice|

Toned vibes for the tone deaf|

They chose to not hear|

But I wondered|

And cried|

And laughed|

And begged|

And listened to those in fear|

    Very powerful words. I've said this before, but your poems are almost lyrical and almost beg to be read/shouted out loud. That is a true gift.

    This is a great poem. I agree with Krouth as well; very powerful.

    My favorite lines in particular: "I searched and found my voice hidden inside a mountain cave siting dormant, subversive beneath a cemetery in the woods of fight and glory, pride and justice, beacon of hope for the restless, house of terror for the investors."

    I think I am going to keep that particular line as a quote :). As someone who is very politically-inclined, I can identify heavily with the feelings of this poem.

Excavating Thoughts

Excavating thoughts purge the deep swell in an abundant forest filled with catacombs| Think not of what to say| Rather| Think of formations and placement for your words| The expression expedite hidden phrases| A realm in multitude of scenic shades| Which fill stains and covers from edge to edge| Put in motion a rehearsed visual| Captured for later interpretation and judgement| A glory outdrew| A painting foreseen inside that thought| Once emerged from a projector working its way from picture to sound| From sound to dialects| From dialects to expression| From expression to memorized interpretations or unsightly inked writings| Exclusive to emotional reincarnations| Contemplation and relegation amount heavy loads| To collapse the foundation in which laid heavy groundwork| Obscure water waves regulate the sounds of prejudgments| Before seen in the obscurity of the themes| Awake from the thankfulness of your mind| And enter into the depths of the b...

Laughing clown

When the nonsense goes is when the conscience grows| Obscure in the emptiness of nothing| A dark hole with no hope| Dwindling with the closing door| A crack in the middle| Sprout a light of hope| The light grew| Isolating the dark with scenes of grey| Absent from the remote land| A screaming voice Utters| The noise to block the sound from the sun| The voices uniting into one loud screech| Misplaced was the microphone| Unplugged to dismiss the surrounding sounds| The pounds the weight carried to bury the noise| Today sees the time| Tomorrow shows the minutes| Next week tells the days| A Rusted crown on the head of a clown laughing| From the outside of the hole| That dark void| Singing with a menacing tone| His throat clogged in a patterned noise| -This poem was originally longer, but I had to break it down. Because i didn't want you all to be lost. My brain works in strange ways, and i get all these ideas that pop into my head all at ...

Where Will You Be?

You can and will take the the revolutionary out of the revolution| But the revolution will revolt against the illusion| Overtake the delusion| End the ill conclusion| And nullify destitution| Forsake those who enact the acts of the institution| But you can not and will not take the revolution from the heart of the evolution|
