Erasing Footsteps

You choose to talk about dignity
Yet lack mental fertility
The knowledge to expose
What’s captured inside
The depths of your thoughts
You test how far it can expand
As intellectuality demands
And reprimands every challenge
Or it shuts down
OUT-OF-ORDER
Never getting what you paid for
Still gladly inserting the quarter

 

Self representation
Is found through self analyzation,
Find the truth, then,
Show me the proof
Now that I’m...

Having hesitation
On if I truly know who you are
Confused as you stand lost in yourself
Faking wealth
Trying to impress
When inside, you digress

 

You have nothing

 

You are struggling

To become something you think, more would embrace
Out of everything you could possibly replace
It was your own image behind the face

 

Now you stand
Wanting to break down
Since other people found-out-the-truth
Seems like you have a lot to prove
Footsteps of the past you must remove

You are incredible. All of your poems flow so well and have so much meaning. I find myself rereading them for further understanding and they all maintain my interest. There's a group called, "Phace Oricalz" that you might like. They're a hip-hop, rap, jazz group whose lyrics you may love. You can find them on Myspace under that name.

Amazing peice right here!!
I truly enjoyed reading this. I'm not
sure if it was how well it flowed as I read
it or the thought provoking message. Maybe it was
a lil of both. Great job with this one.

You are struggling--------this are my favorite words. Almost zen - like ! Liked it for packed with truth. Good to see you back.

Oh, I love how cheap people's words can be - especially when they are trying to sell you something - like THEMSELVES. I enjoyed this piece. You hit the nail right on the head when it comes to some people. They can say what they wish, but we see through the mask they use to represent themselves. . . . and they can not conceil the truth left behind - the footprints of who they truly are as a person.

GREAT WORK!

you are what is known as a spiritual walker,some one who goes beyond a poet,
your creation reminded me of a respond i gave a person who chose to debate me on a blog only to bore me,
.. my reply
there you go again letting Ur ignorance lead you ,
tell me my friend what is Ur point here,other than repeating and dissecting what i wrote,
read what i wrote again perhaps you will comprehend a logical reply until then ,
i shell not cast any pearls b-4 swine, nor waste my precious time on a ill equated mind
and closed heart, peace wizthom ps have a safe trip

nothing worse than a black Columbus traveling the world ,
with nothing to offer it,,reminds me of stow aways fleeting a country that they lack the guts to change ,
bringing with them ignorants and night mares to a country of dreams,,
ha,ha, you amuse,yet i pity you,,for what a fool believes he knows ..no wise person has the power to reason away,my friend tho i can sit at your table and be amused at your mannerisms ,you can not sit at my table for your own inadequacies will not permit your comfort-ability,and in my fathers house we have no need for jesters,as for the host i will be honored to be a guest on your show..,,peace wizthom
