Mankind USA

Rothya James

Developed from magic yolk
And creamy stuff
I scratched a beginning
Through nature’s womb
And stripped to a bluff
Struggled to be strong and smart
With a conqueror heart
I won the claim


In deadly grace
I laid waste
Strived to raise glass towers
Without humility or humanity
Locked on pointless stones
I forgot the bones
And focused on selfishness
Then stumbled to incomplete bliss


Driving silicon roads
With false hope
The air became foul
Coast to coast
The beat wept to a howl
While knowledge took drugs
Loaded from no regret
It swirled to remember honor
Then labored to a forfeit


The test was failed
The memory stained
Shackled with fear
Recycled tear
To a cost-free future of bane
I evolved to meaningless
With no heart and soul
Left to spiteful bearings
Spirit shells on the go


Tracking green paper
While gaining small comforts
I lost my way
I squandered the day
Dislocated and disenchanted
A fantasy recanted
I run in circles
And stick to decay
Mankind, USA

Front Porch Musings

It take daring to love, Audacity when it's lost Fighting injustice makes you justified, ignoring injustice makes you unjust Men make circle in life and women are at the center To love someone is to surrender yourself and in so doing completes you The beauty of youth is foolishness the beauty of age is reflectiveness the beauty of life is both Women want to be adored men wish to be honored Big ideas can make you heroic small ideas can make you frivolous no ideas can make you invisible Don't fear life, embrace it, shape it and you can form a h eaven A perfect day is rare, and imperfect day strives for perfection Knowing yourself and you can withstand any tragedy, not knowing yourself creates tragedy By Rothya James
