psychological services…

girl
have you noticed
that
white folks
who feel 
insecure
start going to counseling
as children
and
keep going
right up to
their death bed
but
some black child
who
tries to commit
suicide
is given
seven days
in
some
overcrowded
and
understaffed
county hospital
now
i know
that biblical
seven day story
so
are those folks
saying
they’re
gods

 

 

creation…

and man created satan
in his own image
to conceal his essence
thus having a viable
scapegoat

 

creation…

his tomorrow’s
were out of focus
as
were
his yesterday’s
and
as for
today
it was hard
to say
since
the steady sound
of
rain
drowned out
the sounds
of
his thoughts
but
his eyes seemed
focused
as he stood
staring
at
a child
wading
bare foot
in cold puddles
pursuing
a makeshift-ship
one small
discarded
plastic bottle
manned by a crew
of
captured black ants
they didn’t seem
to be enjoying
the
adventure
as
he watched
the child’s creation
he wondered
if
god
saw us all
as
captured ants
drifting along
in
a plastic bottle
