Slave Bible
L. B. Mek said:
\'They was scholars for dollars, with a crack of a whip, made any man holla, those saints was liars,\'
and still they do it, Fckrs
that so-called enlightened, warped
mouth piece Thomas Sowell
talks of black\'s owning, slave farms
as some distortion
of depthless misery in our collective
black history
fcker! pointing out exactly how much
they enslaved our mind\'s
as well as broke our backs and hopes..
(you know how many billions
have watched Forrest Gump
not knowing
who the fck Nathan Bedford Forrest
was...???
such Fckry, right there
and they argue racism isn\'t built-in, systemic)
and Yet, we who know
are left to despise
all those wannabe
victimhood, ambulance chasers
hands-out for the sacrifices their
hereditary suffered, to gift them
a future, yet
generation after, Fck\'d generation
wasting schooling opportunities
and paths to a better life
so, twisted fools like Sowell
can sit there all righteous
pointing fingers on their YouTube thrones
cos they were blessed with a little
intellect
or Denzel, good looks
betraying themselves and pretending their skin
is a different shade of black
for a little more coin
sighting their success, like
one out of a million is a ratio
to bank our hopes on, F\'ckrs
I wish
James Baldwin was still around
to smash, reality back into their self-serving, conceited mindsets..

Selfish Love
L. B. Mek said:
\'it’s these
knight in shining armor
looking for love, suckers
causing the traffic
on the highway of love\'..
Amen!!!
(yup, endless generations
brainwashed
by fairy-Tall-tales
of damsels in distress
and entitled, heroes
in supposedly
dignified, murderous plots..
all in the name of some, warped love
where two people
become devoted to each other
before
they even know each other\'s
names...
while in reality, decades
of marriage - later
a single misunderstanding, can bring it all down
crumbling, like
those empires
who thought, their victories
yesterday
entitled them to dream of power
everlasting and righteous
because fate granted them a little
refrain
from life\'s, endless struggles and strife..)
so much Bull sht
only, when
we realise, how lucky we are
\'for every kind smile
sweet words
and warm touches\'
we\'re afforded in life, will we Truly understand
what love\'s True worth, is
till then
\'its all, games of pretend
desperate to simply, belong\'..
(really sorry dear Poet
I read your words and just started typing
forgive me if I\'ve misinterpreted your words
or acted rudely by penning such a lengthy comment)
thanks for sharing and inspiring
my little scribbled, reply

Thanks Teddy15; the world seems to have run out of humanity, civilization has reached it end, the order is about to fall, hopefully it’s somewhere in our nature to reconstruct another, but no matter what we build you can’t stop the inevitable breakdown, but maybe it can give us another 6,000 year run.

Maybe. Hopefully. It\'s just early days for humans and if we could look forward 100 years we\'ll be smarter.

The humans are coming!
L. B. Mek said:
from title to last line,
from cynically comical
tone
to insightfully profound
wisdom..
I enjoyed this read, immensely
thank you! dear Poet
\'when he’s trying to get a drink, and get angry, cause
he’s angry, but then we sit in fright, about
something the news man said about no rainfall, and
the coming thirst, due to some sort of drought.\'
(deep, so
so, deep!
a cyclical society, seeped
in all-things, morosely bleak
yet, still
we few, who dare
still, seek
dream, yearn
and hope
in that alone, there\'s
enough
for us, to grip
dogpaddle and swim
till that last, chocking
sip of gifted, life...)

We are the Gods
L. B. Mek said:
forgive me, but
\'in my humble opinion\', I lack
the intellect or eloquence
to do justice, to your profound words
so, I\'ll lean on Spinoza\'s visionary
words, to attempt
a poetic response to your poetry
thanks for sharing:
“Those who wish to seek out the cause of miracles and to understand the things of nature as philosophers, and not to stare at them in astonishment like fools, are soon considered heretical and impious, and proclaimed as such by those whom the mob adores as the interpreters of nature and the gods. For these men know that, once ignorance is put aside, that wonderment would be taken away, which is the only means by which their authority is preserved.”
― Baruch De Spinoza, Ethics
“I would warn you that I do not attribute to nature either beauty or deformity, order or confusion. Only in relation to our imagination can things be called beautiful or ugly, well-ordered or confused.”
― Baruch Spinoza
“The more you struggle to live, the less you live. Give up the notion that you must be sure of what you are doing. Instead, surrender to what is real within you, for that alone is sure....you are above everything distressing.”
― Spinoza
“The more clearly you understand yourself and your emotions, the more you become a lover of what is.”
― Spinoza

Death is my horizon
L. B. Mek said:
but maybe
that gleaned wisdom of yield
from our survival\'s
perseverance, can highlight
sensations
to imbue meaning, in our suffering
or
maybe, not
in the words of Nas:
\'Life\'s a bitch and then you die, that\'s why we get high
\'Cause you never know when you\'re gonna go\'
