My Love Is Not




My love is not...


My love is not for the skeptical
for the terminally unimpressible
My love is not for the jaded
for the ones who like the world segregated


my love is not for the lovers of money
for those who think my pain is funny
my love is not for those who don't
for those who can't or for those who won't


My love is not for gangsta bytches
that only love thugs with whips and switches
my love is not for the material girl
for those who choose their fathers world


My love is not for the weak
for those who act hard but are too soft to speak
my love is not for the imitator
for those who can't see the visibilificator


My love is not for the fake
for those who can't create
My love is not for anything untrue...
my love is for you...

The 5 People Who Make Life Heaven

Reasonable Words

Poetry Tree

I saw no birds grieve No fallen leaves No branches on the ground None made a sound It wasn’t rotten It didn’t die in a storm Capitalism came In its progress form To take one of my last  Best refuges from me I may be the only one who noticed The death of my poetry tree.
