wake up call
by dlee walker on Monday, January 17, 2011
An angelic voice cried from the heavens saying… “Just look at All My Children, At how they pride themselves on being Young and Restless lounging on every Sunset Beach in Sana Barbra and Port Charles sleeping with each and every Bold and Beautiful guy and girl they meet. They seem to have forgotten that they’re a part of a bigger Dynasty then Dallas. That their lives should be filled with Passions not lived out in a General Hospital over something as serious as HIV/AIDS, Still i'm encouraged by Ryan’s Hope for them to realize they have only have this One Life to Live as they search for a better understanding of me...
their Guiding Light...
so...
DO BE CAREFUL.”

i had a dream today, a dream that life was more than the nightmare i live. i dreamed a dream that people understood true kindness and were respectful of others. i dreamed a dream that there was no wars, no famines, and equal human rights were a reality.i dreamed a dream that martins's dream came true that people were judged by who they are not what they are. i dreamed a dream that life really was a bowl of cherries. i dreamed a dream that a lil boy could grow up to be a courageous woman, a girl a strong man.i dreamed a dream that love and family wasnt defined by a gender or lack there of but by two caring people coming together for the good of their young. i dreamed a dream that before we judge each other we take a long slow look in the mirror and take personal inventory first. i dreamed a dream that although we all walked to the beat of our own drum when we walk side by side the sound was ANGELIC. i dreamed that instead of craving wealth we craved knowledge and placed a healthy helping in front of our future leaders, that instead of trying to hurt each other we encouraged each other to push on, to live,to thrive. i dreamed a dream and realized it was only a dream. and when i awoke up i tried to live out that dream and inspire others to follow suit.

you were designed to help people like me yet my cries for help went unsnswered... why? from the moment you entered myy life i suffered non-stop proplems. complaining became my ritual a right of passage almost. labeled a problem child a truth twister. still... you were designed to help people like me yet my cries for help went unanswered... why? my truth became known and foster care my legacy, but only to edure more abuse this time to paid abusers. rapes became a common occuranceand if i was good they'd use lube. you were designed to help people like me yet my cries for help went unanswered...why? i grew up, i grew older, i grew tired... so i ran. i ran far i ran fast i just ran yet you remained silent. self made ignorance to my daily torture . still. you were designed to help people like me yet my cries for help went unanswered...why? it's 20 plus years later and im still crying yet still no one's listening...
YOU WERE DESIGNED TO HELP PEOPLE LIKE ME YET MY CRIES FOR HELP WENT UNANSWERED...WHY?

I may never write the book that will change your life,
make you a million dollars
or make you be more civil
but I can write from the heart.
I may never write the poem
that makes you laugh, cry ,
get angry or WANNA start A REVOLUTION
all in the very first stanza.
But I can write from the heart.
I may never sing the song that makes your heart melt,
make you say to your friends
“ GIRL SHE CAN SANG,”
makes you call your lover to tell them that it’s over or just beginning.
But I can sing from the heart.
I may never cook the meal
that “MAKES YOU WANNA SMACK YO MAMA,”
makes you lick your fingers or consume till obesity,
but I can cook from the heart.
I may never dance like Micheal Jackson.
Glide like Fred Astere.
Walk like the C's or vogue like the “WILLIE NINJA”
but I can sway ti the beat of my heart.
I may never rap like Jay-Z, Lil Wayne,Nas, Tupac or Biggie.
Put pen to paper like legendary Toni, Maya, E Lynn, or Egder,
do big things like Malcolm, martin and Jesus...
but I can LOVE LIKE,
LIVE LIKE,
WRITE LIKE,
SING LIKE,
COOK LIKE,
DANCE LIKE,
BE LIKE….
WELL LIKE…
ME!
rise queen rise
Who gave you the right
The right to judge me
To cover my eyes so I can’t see
That people are nothing like they seem to be
Who gave you the right
The right to refuse, misuse, and abuse my mind
To tell me life is full of a darkness
Where light I can’t find
Who gave you the right
The right to rearrange,
make me deranged
Even try to exchange me
Who not me no not me
You’ve tied me up
bound my hands
Stripped of my pride
you claim I’m no man
For the last damn time
WHO GAVE YOU THE RIGHT
" WHO GAVE YOU THE RIGHT"
Who gave you the right
The right to judge me
To cover my eyes so I can’t see
That people are nothing like they seem to be
Who gave you the right
The right to refuse, misuse, and abuse my mind
To tell me life is full of a darkness
Where light I can’t find
Who gave you the right
The right to rearrange,
make me deranged
Even try to exchange me
Who not me no not me
You’ve tied me up
bound my hands
Stripped of my pride
you claim I’m no man
For the last damn time
WHO GAVE YOU THE RIGHT

from the ashes of your burned out life
rises a (the) phoenix of a new day
countless drunks hounding you for a dollar or two
or to say hey ya gota smoke
what are you waiting for
just hurry up and fucking do it already
lingering afterthoughts of the life you once lived
resonates aloud in the blood stained thoughts
of the man child you once were
laughter is heard aloud in the shadows of your inner
mind just hurry up and do it already
im gonna get you... your gonna die soon
your conscience tells you in a sarcastic sing song kind
of way
just fucking hurry up and do it already... would ya
your mind slowly start to fade
leaving behind an empty shell of a man,
a man you once aspired to be
but have never quite achieved-
what are you waiting for do it already
"just do it you" hear in the inner most parts of your
heart
do what you ask the man sitting beside you
wearing a wedding veil catsuit and combat boots
looking at you as if u lost your mind,
dressed ready to take up arms in a moments notice
or simply marry the man he truly loves
his weapons of choice are truth and love
all the while asking
but why inst it(this) legal
what are you waiting for
fucking do it already
chirps the non english speaking immigrant
you now call mr president
hurry up and do it already
screams the voice from deep within
just do it ...
do it
go on now...
GO!
do it already
go back and do it
thats right go back
go back to your 3 story walk ups
to your section 8 apartments
your mothers couch in aery basements
your rent subsidized rooms
to the stone cold floor of your friend's cramped sro
to your project housing units
back to your ice cold shelter beds
to your tents in the woods
back to your pallets under bridges
to the back seats of your beat up pintos
hurry the hell up
and just fucking do it already
do what you ask passersby
as if lost in a world full of hope
feeling pity on you
a higher power simply whispers in your ear
LIVE!!!
Ain’t it funny… how some people (men) though having child bearing hip lack the ability to conceive, yet we believe that one day we will all be equal. I'll wait for the sequel to find out if it’s truly right or wrong if a man has the human right to marry a man. Here’s where I stand… love is an abstract feeling not being seen and yet is. gee whiz .E Lynn Harris already wrote that book “ANY WAY THE WIND BLOWS” love flows from heaven to earth and back. yet we lack, the ability to trust that two men or two women could raise a family together, whatever all I know is GOD made every one of us different... yet equal, WAKE UP PEOPLE! ‘cause it really doesn’t matter who you call honey now Ain’t that funny!!!

in a so called "prfect world"i would be married with children, house on a hill, living out the dreams that;ve come true, but its not a perfect world not even a better world. often told i should pray to be made normal, claim it would make things easier. no need to hide in the shadows of life trying to fit in and yet still not, to embrace my flaws and flaunt all my scars, to embrace my natural birth defect that occurs in half the population... you know my elongated clit and overies that hang low... this is not a perfect world not yet close to being a better world when we deny basic things like healthcare equal right and marriage to all, social exceptance and biases are put aside and we try a little tenderness. this is the only world we have and we''re scarring her like an abusive husband...
with eyes wide shut its clear things has changed the words the same the embrace strange the kind soothing wrd and whipsers of sweet nothings often heard aloud are far and few between what happened to the day when hellos meant hi and good bye really and certainly meant gone dreams interupted by thoughts of what ifs shakes me from my sleep forcing me to drift into a state of uncertainty i cant seem to escape heart wide open mouth closed tight my words are still being spoke aloud by the actions of my heart my warm embrace and gentle kissed fall upon a cold stiff corpse where are you my dream deferred why have you abandoned me tho this despolate wasteland called love why did i let u fool me yet again with the thoughts of a blissful rest a peace song that never gets sung echos in my heart why has my dream been differed
