Writings on My Soul

It’s about word manipulation 
Through lyrical fornication. 
To speak about: 
the faces and places 
I have seen and been. 
the people I meet and greet, 
through dating, mating, relating… 
about living amongst forests and speaking to trees 
listening to the ocean and feeling the winds cool breeze 
it’s about humanity, social justice and peace 
about balancing difference through wisdom and mentality 
of freedom and equality. 
Between man and woman, 
white or black 
about ethos and ethics. 
when we heed to biased silent voices 
we become products of those choices 
prisoners of our selfish vices.. 
it’s about this life’s ups and 
those rock bottom downs viii 
through genuine, forced smiles and beyond frowns 
This is a celebration of my life, others’ and more…. 
Through love, pain, life…… death. 
Simply, “the writings on my soul.” 

The spirits do speak to me, sometimes!
