Let the truth blow like a hurricane through me. Deeper than bones.
Say shit, say death, say fuck the father, Satan says, down my ear. The pain of the locked past buzzes in the child's box on her bureau, under the terrible round pond eye etched around roses, where self-loathing gazed at sorrow. excerpt from Satan Says by Sharon Olds Most recent entries. Links

song: Ghetto Gospel artist: Tupac feat. Elton John Hit 'em with a little ghetto gospel [Chorus: Elton John] Those who wish to follow me (My ghetto gospel) I welcome with my hands and the red sun sinks at last into the hills of gold And peace to this young warrior Without the sound of guns [Verse 1] If I could recollect before my hood days I'd sit and reminisce thinkin of bliss of the good days I stop and stare at the younger my heart goes to 'em They guessed it was stress that they under And nowadays things changed Everyone's ashamed of the youth Cuz the truth look strange And for me it's reversed We left them a world that's cursed and it hurts Cuz any day they'll push the button And all good men like Malcolm X and Bobby Hutton died for nothin Don't it make you get teary, the world looks dreary When you wipe your eyes see it clearly There's no need for you to fear me If you take your time to hear me Maybe you can learn to cheer me It ain't about black or white cuz we're human I hope we see the light before it's ruined My Ghetto Gospel [Chorus] Those who wish to follow me (Ghetto gospel) I welcome with my hands and the red sun sinks at last into the hills of gold And peace to this young warrior Without the sound of guns [Verse 2] Tell me do you see that old lady, ain't it sad? Livin outta bags But she's glad for the little things she has And over there there's a lady Crack got her crazy Guess who's givin birth to a baby I don't trip and let it fade me From outta the frying pan We jump into another form of slavery Even now I get discouraged Wonder if they take it all back Will I still keep the courage? I refuse to be a role model I set goals, take control, drink out my own bottles I make mistakes but learn from every one And when it's said and done I bet this brotha be a better one If I upset you don't stress Never forget that God hasn't finished with me yet I feel his hand on my brain When I write rhymes I go blind and let the Lord do his thing But am I less holy? Cuz I took a puff of blunt and drink a beer with my homies Before we find world peace We gotta find peace and end the war on the streets My Ghetto Gospel [Chorus] Those who wish to follow me (Yea, ghetto gospel) I welcome with my hands and the red sun sinks at last into the hills of gold And peace to this young warrior Without the sounds of guns Lord can you hear me speak? | Palinode Wednesday. 1.18.06 9:23 am mood: stealthy  listening to: the stupid radio at work This is a palinode that is not a poem. So in essence, this entry is just a plain recantation. It's my first entry in a while so deal with it. Palinode sounds much better. :) Since I have been an RA for almost 2 years now, I have learned one valuable lesson: don't post shit on the internet that you don't want other people to see. After I found out that my superiors research residents and staff on facebook, AIM, webshots, etc I decided I would never ever open a facebook account and that I would never get too personal on my blog. So I went through and deleted every private entry and password-protected some entries that I couldn't bring myself to part with. If I know you and you think I would give you the password, just ask. I also wiped my blog clean of most of my own poetry and prose because the internet just makes me fucking nervous. I may never "go public" with this weblog, although lately I have been contemplating pasting a link to it in my AIM profile. I fear that people would discover how much of a douchebag I really am. :) Only a handful of people know I have one and even less know what the link is. And I will probably continue to use my blog as a commonplace book for poetry and book excerpts that I like instead of a place to record what happens in my life or even what I think about anything that's going on in the world. No one reads this anyway, so this statement really doesn't matter to anyone but me and my future employers who will probably try to Google me before the interview. Comment! (0) | Recommend! Nothing burns the bridge, and then it burns. Thursday. 7.28.05 12:26 pm Suspension Maggie Smith Once you cross, as you must, you cannot go back. There is nothing to retrieve: when the bridge catches fire, leave it all. Your hair, your hands may be lit; if you take photographs into your arms, they too will burn. You can see the lights of the city you left behind, but in miniature from the distance, a diorama. When the bridge falls, the smoke of its scaffolding hangs in the air, burning our eyes. This is architecture in the new world: the mere shadow of structure, the suspension bridge refusing to suspend. To be light enough to cross, you must be less of yourself. Remove everything down to your wristwatch. Whittle yourself to transparency. Cross the bridge as it burns, sparks in the wisps of your hair, and don't look back. It is already turning to smoke. Soon it will not hold you. Comment! (0) | Recommend! Again and Again and Again Tuesday. 5.3.05 7:28 pm You said the anger would come back just as the love did. I have a black look I do not like. It is a mask I try on. I migrate toward it and its frog sits on my lips and defecates. It is old. It is also a pauper. I have tried to keep it on a diet. I give it no unction. There is a good look that I wear like a blood clot. I have sewn it over my left breast. I have made a vocation of it. Lust has taken plant in it and I have placed you and your child at its milk tip. Oh the blackness is murderous and the milk tip is brimming and each machine is working and I will kiss you when I cut up one dozen new men and you will die somewhat, again and again.

Love's austere and lonely offices Sunday. 4.24.05 5:19 pm Those Winter Sundays Robert Hayden Sundays too my father got up early, and put his clothes on in the blueblack cold, then with cracked hands that ached from labor in the weekday weather made banked fires blaze. No one ever thanked him. I'd wake and hear the cold splintering, breaking. When the rooms were warm, he'd call, and slowly I would rise and dress, fearing the chronic angers of that house. Speaking indifferently to him, who had driven out the cold and polished my good shoes as well. What did I know, what did I know of love's austere and lonely offices? Comment! (0) | Recommend!

Stole this from Amy Madison Friday. 1.21.05 6:13 pm 1. Jesus loves you, and shares your hatred of homosexuals and Hillary Clinton. 2. Saddam was a good guy when Reagan armed him, a bad guy when Bush's daddy made war on him, a good guy when Cheney did business with him and a bad guy when Bush needed a "we can't find Bin Laden" diversion. 3. Trade with Cuba is wrong because the country is Communist, but trade with China and Vietnam is vital to a spirit of international harmony. 4. A woman can't be trusted with decisions about her own body, but multinational corporations can make decisions affecting all mankind without regulation. 5. The best way to improve military morale is to praise the troops in speeches while slashing veterans' benefits and combat pay! 6. If condoms are kept out of schools, adolescents won't have sex. 7. A good way to fight terrorism is to belittle our long-time allies, then demand their cooperation and money. 8. Providing health care to all Iraqis is sound policy. Providing health care to all Americans is socialism. 9. HMOs and insurance companies have the best interests of the public at heart. 10. Global warming and tobacco's link to cancer are junk science, but Creationism should be taught in schools. 11. A president lying about an extramarital affair is an impeachable offense. 12. A president lying to enlist support for a war in which thousands die is solid defense policy. 13. Government should limit itself to the powers named in the Constitution, which include banning gay marriages and censoring the Internet. 14. The public has a right to know about Hillary's cattle trades, but George Bush's driving record is none of our business. 15. Being a drug addict is a moral failing and a crime, unless you're a conservative radio host. Then it's an illness and you need our prayers for your recovery. 16. You support states' rights, which means Attorney General John Ashcroft can tell states what local voter initiatives they have the right to adopt. 17. What Bill Clinton did in the 1960s is of vital national interest (smoke pot), but what Bush did in the '80s is irrelevant (snort coke and become an alcoholic). Comment! (0) | Recommend! |
