WHY Not the Head of The Snake
By Dwight Jackson
It’s truly amazing how society accepts a wrong or a person who is a popular figure in the world. Rather he be a felon, liar, or even suspected of being associated with a pedophile. But because he had a number one show or he was a billionaire, does that make him entitled to cause such chaos in a country that’s a leader of the world. Let’s make America great again is his signature statement. I am still trying to figure out when was America not great. (WHY)
If perhaps he is referring to the past, it would depend on how far back he is referring to. Is he referring back to the 1700s, 1800s, or the 1900s? I wish he would be a bit more specific. I ask the public, what do you think he is referring to? Does he want to go back when England had dominance over the land of America? Or perhaps when there was slavery in the country and white America gave the orders and the black men and women did the labor, while the whites prospered. Maybe he is referring to the 1900s when it was determined that war and dominance over indigent countries would build America into a greater country. Be specific or is it your intention to keep me blind while you suck the life out of me? (WHY)
You have stationed your military in states that do not support you. You pay no attention to the constitution or the laws of these states. Your untrained military has so far killed a number of innocent citizens and you and your constituents justify these murders. You even had the audacity to say that one victim’s parent was a supporter of yours, however you did not know how her father felt about you after her death. (WHY)
During your inauguration, you thanked the Hispanic community for supporting you and your election with a devilish smile on your face. I wonder if the Hispanic community received your message. I sure did. Three months later he targeted the Hispanic community with his personal military subjecting them to arrests and degradation. After one Hispanic man was arrested, his wife was seen on national television saying why are they doing this to us? I voted for him, she was so surprised. (WHY). It seems he is moving on to others of people of color. Who in the hell do you think is next? (WHY) Shit, I know it’s to make America great again. In addition, remember he needs a few of us of color here for someone has to pick that fruit and do the labor that the rich considered beneath them.
Can you respect the mission he is on to stop the drug trafficking in the waters of the ocean? Do you actually recognize what I do as a citizen of this country? The military are using their modern technology to blow boats out of the water. Showing America that they are stopping the drug traffic coming in from countries of people of color. (Why) I am still trying to figure out how the military knows those boats they blow up are carrying drugs. What justifies murder? How does the military board an enemy ship tanker without any casualties but they have to blow up these small boats who are supposed to be carrying drugs. (WHY)
Out of all this chaos, I see the public protesting. Tears of the victims’ families. The sadness and worried looks on the public’s faces. They blame the military or the leaders of certain parties. Even our so-called leaders of our prospective society blame one of the parties. It’s either the Democrats or the Republicans at fault. This may be true for they were elected to support the people. (WOW) In all my life I have never seen a country like America be so unstable. I wonder is it the fault of the head of the snake. (WHY)
I’ve Worn Your Shoes
By Dwight Jackson
I could almost guarantee you that at times we have worn the same shoes. Rather you wear a size 9, 10, 11, or 12. It really does not matter. I have stolen, conned, lied deceived countless others causing so much chaos. I should not have to be pacific for you to understand that I feel your pain. Unloved, unwanted, not understood, no one to talk too, no trust, not even direction. I just could not figure out the trauma I caused myself and others because of my behavior. I did not care about empathy, humility, integrity. Imagine having a stoic demeanor. Congested with residue from a life of waste. Do you want change? Ask yourself. I been where you are and where you will be going if you continue in the path you are on. My behavior had been consistent concerning the dilemma I face daily. Over and over again I have dug in the same hole and not knowing as long as I dig I can never get to the surface. Look into my life youngster. Ask yourself would you like to see my criminal record from the time I was your age until now? For if you continue on the path you are on. (GUESS WHAT) imagine being incarcerated for over thirty years like me. I pray that this missive reaches someone, you, and anybody that has been so neglected that they have lost all sense of direction. Do not be a replica of me. Prosper, educate yourself, find a mentor, someone you can trust and guide you on a righteous path. It’s so easy to fall to a life of crime. Listen to a man that has been there and done that. 30 years from 114 years is 84 years. Please get you some flip flops, my shoes hurt my feet from walking these halls.
A Friend
Attention
By Dwight Jackson
I happened to encounter a woman who had a repugnant odor from her breath. I understood that she had financial issues. I was kind enough to buy her a toothbrush and some Colgate. We were both homeless. The only difference was I was homeless by choice. After I purchased these items for this woman, I did not see her for a week. The next time I saw this woman she still had the unopened toothbrush and the Colgate along with that repugnant breath. This time when I saw her, I really looked at her and to my embarrassment, I saw that the woman was an amputee with no arms. She had the top half of her body wrapped up to hide her handicap. I had to really look deep at myself for just focusing on this woman’s breath. Shame settled in on me.
I Married Her
By Dwight Jackson
Wow, no arms
She shocked me
Ministering her charms
What she did next
She invited me in
For a round of sex
The saga took hold
As she unraveled
Arms appeared to unfold
Using the toothbrush
Along with the Colgate
Afterwards I had a crush
For taking a fast look
I almost missed
That tantalizing hook!
The Thief
By Dwight Jackson
Is there something called a love thief
To make things worse is it just as complicated
On that pretty face you showed me belief
Instead of denying me you aided
I was supposed to be his best friend
It was me his friend he trusted
I could not resist I committed the all time sin
I loved you but I’m so disgusted
He was my friend and I was not loyal
Love and trust cost me my integrity
Even a snake has the tendency to recoil
Is this the time I feel empathy
This type of deception will never wilt
Through my emotions I tried to justify
Even when we’re together I’m full of guilt
When my friend asked about us I could not reply
I destroyed the relationship beyond reproach
I seduced my best friend’s wife
My friend described me as a Roach
My apology does not heal or end this strife
I am man enough to accept this deception
I did not realize she was a repeat offender
All of this drama because of the luscious action
As another man came along she continued to surrender
Now I fully understand what my friend went through
Now I believe she was my soul mate
I feel empathy for I knew she would continue new
How else did I think this affair would terminate
