Let’s write about misconception

Miss Jamie
an exception
of talent
a word smith
with no deception

and me
girl from the south
trying to visualize
change
flowing rhyme from fingertips
straight outta my pen
to my mouth

we are different
yet the same
but society we tell
us we need to change

each to his own
fend for yourself
but I refute the nonsense
of such a notion
'cause we're a REVOLUTION
and our pens
they gonna create a commotion
leading to a solution

I'm tired of divide
he said
she said
'cause they wanna deride
this plan
to unite us

woman
child
and man

we all bleed red

DID YOU HEAR WHAT I SAID ?

we all bleed red
and this movement to
separate us
by black and white

WELL IT AIN'T RIGHT

and so I write
each wrong I see
every day
a new word play
to make other's notice

ME
and YOU
NOLA P
and Jamie Bond

one spirit
but the pen of two

POETS MENDING THE WORLD
ONE UNMUTED WORD AT A TIME
POETRY IS OUR COMMON GLUE
AND LOVE FOR OUR BROTHER
WELL, THAT'S OUR RHYME

Jamie, what say you ?

NOLA...P
(Nothing Out There Like A...POET)
~~ Lisa D McCraw

Nola;
you are right we are in this fight
We start with US
to mend the great divide
Nowhere else can you find
Absence of race except on a page
Because our hearts, spirits and minds eye
Only identify
with what’s wrong with writes

We write it out
We shout about it
We write our wrongs
We be bout it bout it

We all hope to be heard
We all pray the inspiring verb
That makes love an action word
And so we scribe like
the ink is bleeding in splotches
We scream thru our ink
like we cant hear our cries
Then we poetically serenade
the restless eyes with our scribes

Poets united
in ever crevice of the world
on every corner
We unmute our ink;
till our pens look like bullhorns
Tryna save lives
one ghetto at a time
and avoid the coroner

So NOLA and ME …IBJB in Unmuted ink!
We scribe on like it’s a prescription pad
In an effort to uplift the masses!

Gooooo POETS gooooooooo
