Poetry by William Dixon

Above Average
By William Dixon

What do you see
When you look at me
Is it charm, good looks
A great personality?

Do you see another brother
Just like any other
Just out to get what he can get
Nothing serious just a quick lover
Is that all you see?

When you see me
Then take this opportunity
To get to know me.

On a scale from one to ten
I’m a twelve and a half
I’m unlike the brothers you’ve encountered
I’m unlike any man in your past.

I’m not your average brother
I do not play mind games
I know you heard that before
But please allow me to explain.

I do not run from commitment
I face it when it comes
I don’t look for love
I just embrace it.

I am not perfect
I am not no saint,
But an average ordinary brother
No my sister, that I ain’t.

She Hate Me
By William Dixon

Men out here making bastards, hazardous in the long run.

All you do is damage us. All we got is us, B.Y.O.B no need to go to the back of the bus / so you think I wanted to make this choice … not to follow rules, keep sitting at the back of the bus? I’m not settling with a 9 to 5, but SHE HATE ME cuz I desire to reach higher to provide, risk my life to be a Provider, Protector, Priest, Pastor, Prevent, Preserver, Prescience, Present, Presence.

Not once in school they told me our essence, ebony the first powerful civilization. I only felt subjugation, but SHE HATE ME, like I was born to see this sketch out designed / to have many of mankind blind, fighting to get and sell nicks and dimes, but SHE HATE ME, dare not to pull me out of prison / Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz, Freedom Riders, SNCC Members, etc. / don’t care to remember, rather wash it away drinking. SHE HATE ME because all the pain she go thru being alone.

But the Haitian beat the French, British, and American army out of Haiti. SHE HATE ME.

Shout out to Spike Lee. He need to do a joint with Quentin Tarantino.
