The Truth Seeker

by K.L.

(Circa 2000) 

The road to the truth is a never-ending endeavor, continuously searching for all the answers to the burning questions in my mind.

The only existing omnipotent force in the entire universe is the divine.

Holding all the keys to the doorways of life, trickling bits of the truth to discover throughout our realm.

From books to prehistoric fossils, to bloodlines and mysterious possibles. Since we didn’t exist in the past it’s hard to separate fiction from reality.

Though bewildering and intricately embedded in our history’s faculty, I believe the answers are not absent at all, but parked right up our alleys.

I realize it is virtually impossible to fathom the infinity of space, but believe its possible to uncover the keys to survival for the human race.

Wondering if by now we were supposed to create a utopian society powered by Love, and free from murder, malice and money.

Wondering if the revelations of the bible is a test of human resolve, and if it’s possible to avert the outcome that would damn us all.

Wondering if the devil is authentic or a fabrication of our minds, or if there really are wormholes in space that would allow us to instantaneously travel through time.

Wondering if life on earth is purgatory and living through it is just a step away from heaven, or if to obtain it, we have to build a ship that exceeds light speeds of up to warp 11.

Wondering if we reached our minds full potential could our fragile selves handle that magnitude of responsibility, if possible we would be ethereal and released from the judgement of one another’s outer chemistry.

Wondering if conspiracies are designed to keep us as far away from the truth as possible, if so I believe them trying to hide the truth forever is highly improbable.

I yearn to know the Truth!

My Soul offended by my body asking why you capping, practice what you preach ain’t you supposed 2 put that in2 action.

Individual obstacles, trials and tribulations, just tests 4 our overall creator’s observation.

Plenty patience, put in work & stamp your timesheet, Peace of mind is sweet, with solid foundation under your feet.

GOD 1st or everything going forward will be rearranged, these days ain’t strange, twisted illusion like a botched brain.

Eyes twitching tired of soaking up the worlds pain, crazy seems cool, so what do I call insane, if you flip the script you’ll see what I’m saying it’s all the same.

Rushing my Salvation in the morning 2 get 2 the store & buy some tissue, focus wasn’t on GOD in the 1st place that was the issue.

Capable of impossible, always on time non-complacent, trying that much harder 2 fulfill My duties & find a way in. Reverberations of sarcastic case’s, friends turned out 2 be associates with same faces.

Plan without action, no cause of change, negative memories of past, put past for positive gain.

Be the example that you usually try & escape from – poor me.   

You’re Beautiful the Way You Are

by Driq Wright

You don’t need any makeup on your face, you are beautiful the way God created.

You don’t need fake hair on your head or false nails, I like you natural just the way you are.

You are a precious diamond that God put on this earth, but why destroy yourself by trying to fit in with the wrong crowd or letting the Devil come in and make you out to be a promiscuous female.

You don’t need to twerk just to get attention.

You should not have to wear tight or see-through clothing to show how thick you are.

You should not have to get bigger breasts or show your cleavage everywhere you go just to get somebody to look at you.

I know it’s your money, but you don’t need to be a show-off.

You don’t need plastic surgery or any other items to hide the way God made you.

Baby girl, you’re beautiful the way you are.

If anybody doesn’t accept you for who you are or not trying to help you reach your goals, then that person is not for you.

Love Your Self.

Show me

By Driq Wright 

Show me that you love me, show me that you want me in your life.

I’m not the type to chase, but I will chase you to the end like Steve did Laura.

Things are different now you can’t just believe what people say anymore, you have to put action behind your words.

I want to feel your words as I tell you what is going on. I want to feel your touch as you wipe the tears from my eyes.

I want to be able to bring you around people to show off what God put into my life like a student brings a project to class to get a good grade.

I want you there to hold me down like glue, so we can come together like clay.

I want to hug you tightly so my problems can be lifted and my head can be light.

I want to kiss your hands to release the veins that are popping out, get down on one knee to give my all to you.

I don’t want to go on a goose chase to prove my love for you, all you have is my proof that is me standing for you.

I want your love, but you have to show me that you want me in your life.

Distinct Father

By Driq Wright

As I prepare dinner, tell mom and dad its time to eat.

Set the table so we eat, say our prayers to bless the food that we put into our bodies, and asking God to watch over us while we eat and sleep.

A feeling came over me as I was eating my food and I stopped while you tell us sweet nothings to make us believe that you love us.

I look at you and say “Don’t mean to disrespect you, but why would you say you love us and you don’t show it.

You’re so distant with us that we barely spend time as a family. I’m sorry mom, but I have to say this, you don’t love us hell you don’t even love me.

There are things that I want to learn and do, but you can’t do anything to help me because you’re so focused on the outside instead of the inside.

Do you know how bad it hurts seeing other fathers spending time and being there with their sons and daughters? Are you ashamed of me? All I need is your love, but I can’t even get that.

You’re too focused on your addiction, this crisis and deaths are teaching us that we need to stick together as one, also to love and help each other.

Do you not understand that? People always tell me at least I have a dad because their dad is either dead or not in their lives. But why would I be happy having a father present and he is not active in my life?

As a role model, you are supposed to be showing me what not to do and what to do.

Do you know it’s hard out here for a black man, always getting racially profiled by cops, white people, black people, and businesses?

Some black people switch up and turn their backs on their own people that is how you’re acting towards us.

I need you to guide me in the right direction, so I won’t turn into these society boys that get girls pregnant and go to another doing the same thing like a repeated episode.

I love you Dad, but I hate who you’re becoming.”

United as One

By Driq Wright

United as one:

Can we stop all the madness and come together.

Forget all the pain that was caused, give It to God and let go.

It’s sad that we can all come together at a funeral showing fake love to the person in the casket like that person can see or feel it.

How about at a family gathering while we are here on this earth still living.

Don’t matter what color or race we’re all one big family in the eyes of God.

The devil trying to divide us with these crimes, racism, secrets, selfishness, envy and etc.

We have to stand against the hate, if not you are a fool.

Why hate or talk about somebody when you can just help and love as God loves you?

Why would you say you love somebody without any show?

Your words speak volumes, but your actions are more powerful.

Let’s stand together and fight the hate that surrounds your community and the world.

Racism and hate are taught, let’s get rid of that negatively and teach positivity in our community.

United as one.

No Other Man on Earth

By K.L.

(Circa 2010)

No other man on earth can relate to the black man’s pain,

Born as Inventors, Scientists and Kings, then subdued and violated as some sick man’s plaything,

Centuries of torture ingrained into our very souls and brains,

Superhuman effort is a daily requirement on behalf of the Creator’s first born for us to continue blossoming like spring.

No other man on earth can understand the black man’s plight,

Even though the period of the “emancipation” has long elapsed,

False hopes, laws and rights that imply we no longer have to fight,

While covert actions of the ruling class constantly push us off balance and force us to adapt.

No other man on earth experiences unjust persecution as the black man does,

Oftentimes ending our lives with gunshot wounds, a blood thirsty heathens trigger happy reaction to a cell-phone buzz,

No other man on earth yearns to live free as does the black man,

Leaving the planet or rewinding the clock to antiquity when it was only us are just fancy delusions of grandeur,

Escaping the misery unjustly placed upon our crowns seems more like a pipe dream, damn!

As is the idea of equality amongst men at any point in time, a very negative outlook I suppose but you can appreciate my moment’s candor.

Family Blues (we have to come together)

By Driq Wright

How did we get here from loving to hating?

How come we can’t support or be there for each other?

Everything starts at home from being sexually assaulted, beaten as a child, mental and emotional abuse, also tragic events happening.

Now its incest, cheating, family secrets, killing and backstabbing its all bad, but don’t let it stop from loving your family members.

Blood is supposed to be thicker, now its like air it comes and goes.

Don’t let feelings, social media or a third party break up a bond with your family.

Have a conversation without anger, because forgiveness is the key to a pure mind, body, and soul. 

Codes get broken, loyalty is not the same, but don’t let what anybody does to you get the best of you.

Sometimes its best to step back and be by yourself.

People get money and forget their family member especially if they weren’t there through the ugly days, set an better example for the younger generation.

Certain people say the love of money is the root to all evil true, but also if you have a strong mind you will not let money change or turn you against anybody.  

We live in a judgmental society where people would rather listen to a lie or hearsay and run with it.

Its sad that family members would rather get together for a funeral instead of a family reunion.

Side note: don’t let feelings get in the way of a great bond or of a great time with family, that way you won’t look at life with bunch of regrets.

Friday’s Flowing Word #1

By K.L.

Peering through the canopy our eyes finally meet,

As you sit up on high providing light codes, nutrients and heat,

Not a day goes by that gorgeous golden stare doesn’t brighten my day, regulating my heartbeat and positive thoughts in every way,

There are periods when your love is hidden or discreet,

Even on cloudy days, the passion of your gaze still penetrates their sheets,

Wishing just once I could kiss you on the forehead like you do me, but your energy is so strong that I’ll be beyond fricasseed,

Our socially long distance relationship is perfect for we,

Stay forever warm big sexy, til the next morning we meet.

Friday’s Flowing Word #2

By K.L.

Above the horizon lies the Kingdom of the sky,

The metropolis of puffy clouds is so serene, so beautiful, makes me wish I could fly.

Beyond awe-inspiring, no combination of words can really do it justice.

Witnessing it firsthand, is the only way to understand.

The breathtaking view of blue on blue is much to take in, but far from hard getting used to.

Imagining if this is a snippet of what Heaven could be,

When it’s my time to transcend, I hope there’s a spot in this marvelous city, reserved just for me.

Fly High

By K.L.

I strive to be like the hawk in the sky, strive to at my whim fly high.

Viewing the world from a higher perspective nothing is beyond its reach.

Affirming what we desire to manifest is only the first step, we have to practice what we preach.

Our own fears and insecurities are the barriers that must be breached.

So let us spread our wings and look toward the sky, dedicating our energy to capturing that which we desire most in our mind’s eye.

What Is Appearance?

By Driq Wright

What is appearance: the internet defines it as someone’s arrival or how a person looks on the outside.

Our parents always tell us to dress appropriately when we go out, Before you go on a job interview dress up in professional wear, look like you want the job.

You indeed have to look a certain way when you get out because people judge what’s on the outside instead of the inside of your heart with no hesitation.

If you look thrown away ain’t nobody going to look at you, you have to fake it to make it at times. 

What is appearance: is it something that hides people from who they are? Or is it a foundation that people look for in a person, or is it a sex appeal that turns people to you and always wants to be around you?

What is appearance: it’s something that both genders put as their priority to get other people’s attention so someone can give them compliments to feel good about themselves when they have low self-esteem.

It’s a need THAT some people have to get to look a certain way when you around different people, go somewhere, or on a job site.

What is appearance: in my opinion, its YOUR arrival and the way you carry yourself as a person, How your heart is, and also how you treat people.

You can get a neat individual up and down to dress to the tee, inside of the heart ain’t right, but that person will still get accepted by other people, until someone found out their personal motives and how they are. Turning it into racial profiling to self profiling.

This means if you’re not looking a certain way then you can’t go anywhere or someone that is evaluating how you look so they can pick and choose. 

Why is this reversal judgment based on your clothes how you look when you come out? To most people, it should be what you put out and the work you put in, how helpful you are, HOW respectful, or how good your heart is, but it’s not.

Start acting differently until they get to know you. At times you get to know a person to see who they are. then you get to see what others don’t see.

YOU tell that individual “hey you are a good person keep it up”, but the person doesn’t know the struggle that he or she has to go through in this judgmental world.

Certain people don’t understand it’s all about how you treat people, Not changing who you are for your appearance.

It’s best to be happy, comfortable, and loving yourself not to feel obligated to do something that you don’t want to do.

Has anyone ever heard, what is good on the outside its not always not great on the inside.

We all struggle differently, God put angels on his earth that don’t look at the outside and look at the good of all people, no matter how bad they screwed up.

You got to have confidence, don’t care what anybody says, because we all human and have to answer to one man who is the judge and jury. So tell me what is appearance to you?

Are You Ready To Be Loved?

(Trying to save a female, but you can’t save them all)

By Driq Wright

Hey queen, I hate that you get run through by dudes and you don’t know your self-worth, putting a stop to it.

Talking about you can do what you want, but is sleeping with other people doing you or having fun?

You can do better than that, why would you put yourself through that drama, something that you don’t have to go through?

You say that love is sweet, now it’s turning sour every day of the week because you’re not loving yourself, so how could you expect someone else to love you.

Let me take you on a sweet journey with me, let me help with your understanding that you are a beautiful woman, and that you can do anything that you put your mind to.

Let me help you with what you’re missing so you can prosper on your own, but whenever you need anything I’m here for you.

I’m not going to get close, because I don’t want you to be smothered or closed in, I want you to glide on my love through God’s wind.

let me know you’re ready for this, but if you’re not willing to change or exit your ways, I think I should be on my own and leave you alone until you’re ready.
