End Hunger UK With some Poems

I’ve been blessed and humbled to win an award for “Hunger Pains” and also to have it shown at colleges and universities across the United States. Even more humbled that it was shown as part of the United Kingdom’s initiative to also stop hunger.
“We spend money on wars but we need to be at war with not feeding the poor!”






Naive

I wanna be naive

Like the wind against the trees

I wanna be naive 

Like the kids on their swings 

Not really caring because u don't know about a thing

I wanna be naive 

 

I wish I didn't know 

I wish I didn't care

Wish I wasn't provoked 

Wish I wasn't there

If I was naive things would change 

Racism hatred negativity I wouldn't know those things

Or evil

I would still look at the good in all people

I would leave my doors unlocked

I would believe a black man will be helped by a white cop and not shot

If I was naive but damnit I'm not 

 

I wanna be naive

Like the wind against the trees

I wanna be naive 

Like the kids on their swings 

Not really caring because u don't know about a thing 

I wanna be naive 

 

If I was naive I would believe in love at first sight 

I would believe that she would always love me with all of her might 

I would never have visions of her leaving in the middle of the night 

With another mans' arm gripping her body tight

If I was naive I would believe friends don't change

I would believe everybody sings good praises after hearing my name

If I was naive I wouldn't look at things the same

I wanna be naive and if I was I couldn't explain 

 

I wanna be naive

Like the wind against the trees

I wanna be naive 

Like the kids on their swings 

Not really caring because u don't know about a thing 

I wanna be naive 

 

I wanna pretend 

That I'm the wind

With no particular destination

Just go as I please with no hesitation

With no parameters no limits no doubts

I wish I was naive and believed every devout 

Person in the church 

Cared why they were there

I wanna be naive and believe that love is everywhere 

That positive energy can clear this negative atmosphere

I wanna be naive and believe that everyone cares

I wanna be naive yet reality bites

But even being naive doesn't prevent your eyes from seeing the sights of life 

 

 

He Said She Said

He said he wanted a fling

He wanted a particular thing 

She said that particular thing 

Couldn't 'come' unless she had a ring

She said she wanted a man and everything would be grand

He said he wanted one night stands and she should understand 

She said she wanted commitment wanted to do something different

He said that if the same song makes u smile why play something different? 

Different flights exotic nights late night out to eat bites 

She wanted the family type- the son , daughter, husband and wife

He wanted the life- money, cars, and the se*, wondering who's next, thinking oh well she'll just be my ex

They were eventually introduced 

She said she was seduced 

He said he wasn't trying reproduce 

She said that's not an excuse 

He said it wasn't his

She said the test is positive and she said she has the proof

He said she should abort

She said I'm getting child support 

And he said and she said that the child isn't getting the proper support

She said let him live with me without hesitation 

He said he wanted to take her to court over visitation

He and she said a lot of lies but he and she said a lot of truths 

Thats what he and she said -so what about you?

 

Uncertainty

....I don't know where to begin

Some people living to lose other people living to win 

What a contradiction

Life can be so much like fiction

Absorbing your addictions until you're reminiscing 

On the good times or the times u smile a lot

I smile a lot on the good times that can't be bought 

Money can't buy this feeling- it's those memories that brought

It's those memories that made me grind from the start

From the start of those memories it was instilled in my heart 

My heart instilled a desire that I couldn't break a part 

And it always seemed that in the "night" my mind was "lite"

And in the "night" it was when I saw the "light" like a kid in the dark  

No more kiddin bring the light to the dark 

My intuition tells me it's someone who glistens at this mention and it's no names (that's discipline) those with ears let them listen (not speaking in religion) not speaking through addictions but as I mentioned when I was reminiscing - this life can be so much like fiction 

What a contradiction

Some people living to lose other people living to win 

And if you're still confused 

Its okay because I still don't know where to begin...
