I need to kick back
& remind stress to leave me be
Because I've got a circle of angels that are forever looking out for me.
Seeing is believing?
Well I say that spiritual intuition could never be deceiving.
Whether it's positive energy that I am receiving
Or those random moments of clarity whilst I'm day dreaming.
Those others can 'stay scheming'
But their lifestyle I'm really not feeling.
For the instruction of which new popular product to purchase they are feanin'.
Then they consider me weird when I say that my favourite past time is reading.
But to grow I must feel this pain
Like a baby when it's teething.
So I embrace the times of loneliness
& remind myself that I'm blessed just to be breathing,
In a time when the leaders are misleading
& war torn mothers are grieving
The enlightened must ensure that their light is forever beaming,
Hoping that those lost in the dark will follow
& gain depth & meaning,
Where society has left them hollow.

LOSS OF A LIFE.
LOSS OF COMPOSURE.
LOSS OF TRUST.
LACK OF MEDIA EXPOSURE.
PEOPLE CLAIM THIS.
& PEOPLE CLAIM THAT.
SO MANY OPINIONS FLUNG AROUND,
THAT PEOPLE FORGET THE FACTS
THERE'S GOOD & BAD IN EVERY GROUP
SO WHY SHOULD POLICE BE AN EXCEPTION?
LIKE THEY COULD NEVER STEP A FOOT WRONG
SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY ARE PAID FOR OUR 'PROTECTION'
EVERY YEAR PEOPLE DIE IN POLICE CUSTODY
FAMILY MEMBERS NOT GIVEN ANY FORM OF EXPLANATION.
THE MAJORITY OF US HOLD SOME FORM OF PREJUDICE
THAT BLUE UNIFORM DOES NOT SUDDENLY RID SOMEONE OF THIS.
THOSE PROGRAMMED BY MEDIA FAIL TO SEE
THAT WHAT WAS ONCE WORN WITH PRIDE
IS NOW OFTEN USED AS A DISGUISE
MASKING THE CORRUPTION THAT LYES INSIDE
IF YOU WEAR A HOODY
YOU WILL PROBABLY BE FEARED,
YET IT IS MORE LIKELY THAT A MAN IN BLUE
HAS RECENTLY MADE A LIFE DISAPPEAR.
I wrote this poem shortly after the riots erupted within the U.K, after the death of Mark Duggan (R.I.P).
This poem is the result of the frustration that I felt at the time towards a number of people who simply shrugged their shoulders at the situation, and believed that 'the police were only doing their job'. I believe that there are two sides to EVERY story, yet the majority of people seem to simply accept whatever version of events that the media are providing them with.... without questioning the situation and / or possible ulterior motives.
