​The New Breed 

2/12/2016

0 Comments

 
Ralph Mills  aka The  Human Being    ​
Systematically engineered to bring about devastation
Conceived by the desire to satisfy the urge to smoke dope
He emerged from the pit of and alcoholic infested womb
To enter into the world on a piss stained sheet.
Raised on powdered milk and soup beans
He's taught to hate himself and to love everyone that hates him
Money is his God and in money he trusts
The new breed replacing the old one
With a mentality to seek out new ways to bring about havoc

Tomorrow's child that grew old yesterday
And is presently dying today from the lack of understanding
That life is now subsidized
To find his place already established in a society
To where there's a booming industry to warehouse him
Which brings his worthlessness into a marketable value
Where legislation is being passed to ensure 
That this industry will flourish at the new breeds expenses.

​Just Me............................

by Bonita Jones
Sometimes I'm...... feeling all alone, 
but yet there are people all around me 
I don't know which way to turn these growing pains they hound me
I'm too old for this.  Too young for that.  Got my mind caught up
Screaming screw this world.  Dreams of diamonds and pearls.  
That is how I was brought up.
I wish like skee – low, but I don't know what my future holds.

So I smoke on dope, praying to the Lord.  “God grant me tomorrow”
But I don't know why, cause I'll just get high, like the day before.
Telling myself I'm gonna quit, but I know that I'm lying to myself for sure
How can I cope? I hate to be broke Gotta do what I gotta do.
If I come down to it, it's all about self, so... uummm “F” you
See I ain't tripping my reality is paid by mental salary. 
I'm trying to get it together.  Myself is trying to kill me

The Slab

 by Arenthian Bohannan

Though the slab is lonely cold
Feel engine heat being so near the road. 
Gripping tight every item I own
My battery drained from repeating a holy song. 
Uniformed officials,
Pedestrians and their cross the street rituals, 
I keep my composure though the situation is quite critical. 
Habitual are my actions 
Long lines and short rations, 
Tomorrow on Park Avenue 
I again will be the main attraction.

Drive you Insane

2/12/2016

Ralph Mills ​aka The  Human Being
You are my mother and I love you dearly
The love you have from me is understood clearly
All mothers have some kind of inside alarm
that hurts their heart when their child is in harm
that is why you placed on the right things in my mind
Gave me the respect of life for all mankind

You told me to do only what's right
And try with all my might
So it's not you anyone can blame
Cause I changed the rules of the game
and played it for money and fame

I've done things I would never tell
Cause I know how you felt all too well
That's why I could't ask you to go my bail
Cause of the hurt and pain
Of your son sleeping out in the rain
Cause I didn't have a place to go
But I know

I could always come where you're at
But I refuse to do that
Because I knew that you would see
Inside of me
And that would only cause you more pain
Might even drive you insane
Seeing me caught up in the game

So I did the best I could
Cause I couldn't stop like I should
But one thing you should know
That I love you so
And I'm going to do whatever I can
To be a better son and act more like a man
