The Right to Remain Silent
A pecha kucha (Inspired by the iTunes top 20 chart)
[Blank Space]
When I was six years old
My best friend was white.
We smiled, laughed,
And ran across the playground
Trying to play freeze-tag with time
[Do They Know It’s Christmas]
Int: Split-screen, one white household, the other black.
...
Graduation comes and goes.
The future is upon us.
We will make it.
Let stress fade away.
Breathe and let the worry out.
Take in the beauty of the world....
The endless monotony
The struggling ticking of the clock
The loud voices quiet me
I linger endlessly
The swelling of my throat engulfs my many words
The tonality of tone
The finality of final
I long to be heard
I long to be seen
But how can I when I'm not even looking at me...
You are born
You are raised
You are sent out into the world
You are the future
You become successful
Or you fail
You live
Or you die
The world still moves along
People still do their jobs
People still live their lives
People still walk around you
It is up to y...
Life has a soundtrack.
The music is in the way we speak,
The things we do,
And how we feel.
Every word,
Hello,
Goodbye,
I love you.
Every action,
A hug,
A smile,
A simple nod.
Every emotion,
Anger,
Happiness,
Sadness.
Every thought,
Who a...
You dwell where the sun won't travel
Choose to live among the unraveled
"Experience is the best teacher"
But how can you teach the unteachable
Unthinkable
Without the best teacher
Taking notes from afar
Observing the lunatics as they are
Studiously studying the subjects,
Objects
But you are but mer...
Sun Drop
You are all I can find,
all they sale,
what gets me through a day,
helps me keep calm,
satisfies my need,
but you will never be my Mtn Dew.
Mountain Dew
You are all I want to drink,
all they do not sale,
helps me so much more,
keeps me sane,
really satisfies my need,
but you are no...
A world where falling in love is the easiest decision to make,
and the most beautiful risk to take.
A world where peace conincided with joy,
and violence didn't self-destruct and destroy.
A world where hate wasn't the inevitable,
and that melanin would make us inseperable
- more or less,
but we would mesh wel...
I see your face
Yet, I don't know your name
You come to me in my dreams
Whispering the calling of my name
Appearing with an outlined radiant glow
I'm losing myself in your eyes
Can you see what I see?
Can you see the children?
Hear them laughing and playing
The fool tried to play you in the game of love
...
They look at my kinks, coils, and curls
and wonder how I manage to tame them.
I tell them, "Its a part of who I am."
They stare at my sun kissed skin
and wonder why I am not a shade lighter.
I tell them, "Its a a part of who I am."
They imagine having my big, bold lips
and gaze at the way ...
Dragons breathe fire,
boat on water,
sword and shield,
with ballista and web.
The dragon is spotted,
the Archangels fly,
down and down they go
through the smoke and clouds.
The wings are folded,
more speed is gained,
vision is unclear,
and the dragon disappears.
The clouds part,
the ground approache...
